About this deal
This is usually £79 for the year.
This service is offered with the Connected drive pack for the first 3 years following the purchase of the vehicle, after which it was previously chargeable.
Depending on the year of the vehicle, this service may already be unlimited on your car.
Concerning compatibility, the year must be rechecked but it is for all vehicles from 2013-2014 compatible with Connected drive services.
To test it in your car, here is the process:
Select from the vehicle menu: “My vehicle” > “Settings” > “General settings” > “Remote Software Upgrade”. If “Remote Software Upgrade” is displayed, you can use this feature.
WHAT DO BMW REMOTE SERVICES DO.
Curious to know from a distance whether the doors are locked or the windows are closed in the rain? Whether your tank of fuel or battery charge is sufficient to reach your next destination, or when the next oil change or service is due? Simply connect to your BMW on your smartphone. Keep an eye on its status at any time – wherever you happen to be.

It actually helped recover my car, 25 minutes after it was stolen.
It’s not live tracking of the car but it let me know where it was once it parked up. (edited)
Just completed the purchase and worked on my F15. Thank you again (edited)

Plus it tells you how much fuel left, and current status of windows etc. You can also activate ventilation depending on your car.
It’s a good system, used it on ours for years now.
In "connected drive" menu click on options button below the dial and click on "update BMW assist. Wait for it to update and you should get more options like "messages". That's how I got the code.
Now I have a BMW iX and it is included.
Not wanting to rain on the picnic whatever the phrase is. Maybe if you actually have a BMW it makes more sense. I wouldn't pay them anything at all for this though and in fact I'd be looking for some way to defeat their location tracker etc.
Just wanted to check - How long did it take to work? Are you supposed to receive a confirmation email first?
charging £80/ year for central locking or Google Maps on a BMW badge
or not charging it but considering it a deal
I think BMWs should be making indicators free since no BMW seems to have them
Ps of you own a BMW then you shouldn’t have to use indicators, other Road users should move out of your way. (edited)
edit; if it happens to anyone else go into your account / profile settings and add the address there then works.
heat! Many thanks! (edited)
