TeleService
TeleService supports you in communicat-
ing with your BMW center. The installed car
phone can be used to transmit data on the
service status of your vehicle or on legally
mandated inspections directly to your
BMW center. This is the same data that is
also stored for CBS Condition Based Ser-
vice in the ignition key. Your BMW center
can then contact you, and you can make an
appointment that suits you while you are
still on the road. Your advantage is that
your BMW center can prepare in advance
for the required maintenance work. The
functions of TeleService are country-spe-
cific: the data on the service status of your
vehicle or on legally mandated inspections
is transmitted on a country-specific basis
either automatically before they fall due or
simultaneously when you call your BMW
center. Your BMW center will be glad to
provide more detailed information.
BMW Assist
BMW Assist provides you – in addition to
TeleService – with other services, e.g. the
position data of your vehicle can be trans-
ferred to the BMW Assist emergency call
center if an emergency call is started.
Many functions of BMW Assist depend on
the individually agreed contract. The data
transmission, e.g. of CBS Condition Based
Service, is different in individual countries.
The subscriber agreement must be com-
pleted successfully before using the BMW
Assist services.
Requirements
The installed car phone is logged on to a
portable telephone network. This network
must be able to transmit the services.
To transmit position data, the vehicle must
be able to determine the current position.
This is displayed on the Control Display. In
order to enable and update TeleService or
BMW Assist, a GPS signal must be present.
Enabling TeleService or BMW Assist
