Am I right in thinking that BMW use connected drive to monitor all BMW's for traffic information? Where you are and how fast you're moving?
If so, why should you have to pay for the service. You give them some info, you should get something in return, right? |

I would perhaps justify the price if my annual mileage consisted of travelling to different destinations weekly. But 250+ smackers per year is just not worth it to me....I can gauge the re-routing and flow well enough using the standard Live traffic system (updated every 3 mins) If it was free for the next few years on the other hand, for me to weigh up through experience of all systems, then it may make me re-think that. But BM have now taken that option away, which in the long run could have resulted in me paying extra for it always. Their loss or mine?....who knows? |

just got an email about this. what i really want is the send to car and RTTI they offer: ConnectedDrive Services (£120 p/y) and ConnectedDrive Services Plus (£210 per year) for what i want then i think i must get the ConnectedDrive Services Plus at £210 per year. WTF....i only do around 9k per year and its quiet useful but i mights as well get a TomTom.... ConnectDrive Services (£120) includes "Intelligent traffic guide: precise traffic information and recommendations for alternative routes" i guess this aint RTTI |

On their website all I can find is:
http://www.bmw.co.uk/en_GB/footer/q-...cteddrive.html How much does BMW Assist cost? In the case of vehicles with Navigation system Professional (option 609) and Navigation system Business (606) together with Bluetooth mobile phone with telematics (option 633/6NL) built in or after September 2008 (X5 and X6 October 2008, X3 September 2010) the BMW ConnectedDrive service package is free of charge for three years from the point of first activation. After the initial complementary period, use of the BMW ConnectedDrive services is subject to an annual subscription charge of £120.00 per year. How comes there is a rip-off ConnectedDrive Services Plus option and what do you get extra?

Have to say that £210 is a bit cheeky for that.... it's more than the road tax and a good chunk of the insurance costs.

I thought that RTTI basically uses mobile phones, vehicle fleets and taxis as pointers to judge traffic flow? That's what the BMW site says. Scroll down and click on the video for RTTI.

Just a thought, those who have been offered the £210 option - are your cars business or professional nav?
I can understand if they charge more for business nav RTTI as it never had it originally (IIRC). |

Just renewed mine. Had 2 options, connectedDrive services and connectedDrive services plus.
I opted for connectedDrive services and can confirm it includes RTTI, send to car and remote services. From what I can tell the only difference with the plus version is you get Internet. I had it included for the first 3 years and that's all I have lost. |
