TeleService
TeleService supports you when communi-
cating with a 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
TeleService functions are country-specific:
The data on the service status of your vehi-
cle or on legally prescribed inspections is
transmitted on a country-specific basis
either automatically before they fall due or
while you call a BMW center. Your BMW
center will be glad to provide more detailed
information.
BMW Assist
BMW Assist provides you with other ser-
vices in addition to TeleService. For exam-
ple, the position data of your vehicle can be
transferred to the BMW Assist emergency
call center if an emergency call has been
initiated.
Many functions of BMW Assist depend on
the individually agreed contract. Data
transmission, e. g. of the CBS Condition
Based Service, differs from country to
country.
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
For you to be able to use the services of
TeleService or BMW Assist, these must be
enabled.
To do this, leave the ignition key in posi-
tion 1 during the entire process.
