This means no SOS, or theft recovery system, let alone any of the remote systems such as door lock, unlock, etc. It's pretty disappointing that BMW doesn't sound like they are going to offer any kind of retrofit for this, making any car technologically obsolete at anything older than 5 years. For what we pay for these cars, I think that is pretty crummy when some of us have been promised (and paid for) some of these services - up to 2024 in my case.

I bought mine used and they turned it off after 1 year. There wasn't even an option to pay to continue it. Since I never had to use it I don't really miss it, but that is disappointing that they are not going to support it for those that expected to have it.
