MY JOURNEY.
Making every journey unique.
Every trip is different and yet you can always be confident of reaching your destination comfortably and on time. With the Connected Navigation services such as Real Time Traffic Information, you have one eye on the current traffic situation and reach your destination directly and faster. And all without any stress, because the Parking Place Assistant will tell you the best place to find a vacant parking spot. Using the Digital Charging Service, you can provide your BMW i or iPerformance model with energy cost-effectively and can be sure that it is always perfectly charged when you set off.
Connected Navigation.
Connected Navigation offers you an outstanding navigation experience from planning & preparing, travelling, to parking & charging. Our aim is to make your journey from A to B even more comfortable and personalized. We want you to be amazed and confident on your entire journey – on all touchpoints, when and wherever you need us.
Parking Place Assistant.
Trying to find a parking space close to your destination? It’s an easy task with the Parking Place Assistant. It suggests vacant spaces in large parking facilities or on the street and, based on your selection, finds the best route for you with the highest likelihood of an available space. You can also pay for your parking cash-free using ParkNow.

We deliver the future of parking to where it belongs: in the car. ParkNow becomes your practical companion and offers you all functions directly within the navigation system – always synchronised with the ParkNow app. From now on, you can park without the need for any cash, ticket or stress whether at the side of the street or in a multi-storey car park. As soon as you are in a zone subject to a parking charge, you will be informed and be able to manage the entire parking operation in your navigation system.

Map Update.
BMW is the first automobile manufacturer to offer three possible Navigation map update processes: USB Full Map update via dealer or ConnectedDrive Store and automatic "Over-The-Air" update via the permanently installed SIM card up to four times per year (for the preselected region). The “Over-The-Air” update incurs neither license fees nor transmission costs. The navigation system is always equipped with up-to-date maps.
MY CAR.
Because your BMW is more than just a vehicle.
Inside your BMW you can concentrate fully on your journey because everything else is taken care of. The Digital Key on your smartphone gives you easy access to your vehicle while the remote software upgrade „Over-The-Air” ensures that the software in your BMW is always up to date so that you can save yourself a trip to the dealer. And if an accident should occur, the Intelligent Emergency Call will automatically summon help and give important information on passengers and vehicle to the first-aid personnel.
Remote Software Upgrade.
Do you want your BMW to be up to date with the latest software? With Remote Software Upgrade, your BMW will always be like new. Convenient, reliable and stress-free – without having to visit your BMW service partner. Upgrades are installed over-the-air, just as they are for your smartphone.
Wi-Fi Hotspot.
Take part in video conference calls on your tablet or stream the final episode of your favourite series on your smartphone. The Wi-Fi Hotspot is a way to go online with LTE speed (if available) using the SIM card installed in your vehicle. You and your fellow passengers can surf the Web on up to ten devices.
Intelligent Emergency Call.
If there is an accident, it is essential to act fast. Intelligent Emergency Call fetches help and can even save lives if the worst should happen. It contacts specially trained call centre agents who offer support to you and your passengers until the emergency services arrive. It also sends them important information directly.
BMW CarData.
With BMW CarData you can view the key vehicle data for your BMW whenever you want and share them with third parties if required. And you alone decide who you can entrust your data to. This allows you to maintain control of your telematics data at all times and benefit from sharing data with third parties to use tailor-made service packages that were not previously accessible.
MY LIFE.

Why make compromises when on the road? Enjoy the digital lifestyle you are used to in your BMW as well. Transform your vehicle into a mobile office with Microsoft Office 365. Take part in Skype for Business Meetings, dictate your e-mails and manage your appointments. With Apple CarPlay® you have access to the key functions of your iPhone during the journey and, if you’re looking for more entertainment, Connected Music with more than 30 million songs from Deezer or Napster supplies you with the best music en route.
Apple CarPlay®.
Why go without the features of your iPhone in your BMW when you can continue operating it as usual? Apple CarPlay® Preparation gives you remote access to telephony as well as apps like iMessage, WhatsApp, TuneIn, Spotify and Apple Music. You can also use the voice button on the steering wheel to access Siri, Apple’s voice assistant.
Online Entertainment.
Listen to your favourite music wherever you are. Classical on the motorway, jazz during rush hour and pop when you’re cruising. With Online Entertainment, you can directly stream as many as 30 million songs without any limits courtesy of BMW’s music partners, Deezer and Napster, using the SIM card installed in your vehicle.
Microsoft Office 365.
Work in your car as if you were in your office with Microsoft Office 365.

A certified report containing all the information can be prepared for submission to the tax authorities.
