TeleService supports you when communicat-
ing with a BMW center. The built-in car phone 
can be used to transmit data regarding the ser-
vice status of your vehicle or regarding legally 
mandated inspections directly to your BMW 
center. This is the same data that is also stored 
for CBS Condition Based Service in the remove 
control. 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 here is that your BMW center can 
prepare in advance for the required mainte-
nance work. The TeleService functions are 
country-specific: the data regarding the service 
status of your vehicle or regarding legally man-
dated inspections is transmitted on a country-
specific basis either automatically before they 
fall due or during your calls to the BMW center. 
Your BMW center will be glad to provide more 
detailed information.

BMW Assist provides you with other services in 
addition to TeleService. For example, the posi-
tion data of your vehicle can be transferred to 
the BMW Assist response center if an emer-
gency 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, dif-
fers from country to country.
The contract of participation with BMW Assist 
and the activation must be completed before 
you can use BMW Assist.
When the contract expires, the car phone can 
be deactivated by a BMW center without having 
to visit a BMW center. Following deactivation of 
the car phone, no emergency calls can be 
made. The car phone can be reactivated after 
signing a new contract with a BMW center.

You can also use the services of BMW Assist via 
the Internet. The range of services is continually 
being expanded.

You can use TeleService or BMW Assist when 
the following requirements are met:

>

The installed car phone is logged on to a 
cellular telephone network. This network 
must be capable of transmitting the ser-
vices.

>

To transmit position data, the vehicle must 
be able to determine the current position. 
This can be displayed on the Control Dis-
play.

>

For TeleService or BMW Assist to be acti-
vated and updated, the GPS signal must be 
available.

>

For BMW Assist: you have applied to your 
BMW center or BMW Customer Support for 
BMW Assist.

For you to be able to use the services of 
TeleService or BMW Assist, these must be 
enabled.

>

Make sure that the vehicle can determine its 
current position. Reception is best when 
you have an unobstructed view to the sky.
