connected drive services + Internet renewal (UK)?

jonnyni · 08-21-2017, 01:18 PM

Hi folks,

I purchased a 2012 F30 320D m sport which has option 614 - Internet + option ZMP - Media package - BMW professional multimedia ( Pro nav)

The subscription has expired long before my purchase.

Is it worth the £120? Will the internet services be included at £120 or is this an additional payment over the £120 for connected drive services.

I'm in the uk if that makes any difference as well.

cheers,

Jonny

Bump , Anyone got information on this? Looking to know if any of the features are worth the £120 per year.

Edit: I originally read this as "Connected Apps" instead of "Connected Drive." My bad.

I have a subscription to Connected Drive that came with my car and it's pretty cool. My car doesn't have the web browser, but I can't see myself browsing the internet on my car when I have my phone. It's also limited to Edge or 3G speeds so I don't really mind it not being available to me. From the iPhone app you can do several things like honk the horn (I don't have the alarm, so no panic button. Used app to honk and found my car in a parking lot, that was cool. You can also see the current location of your car, remotely lock/unlock the doors, and see the fuel level/range. (The fuel/range info will only update when you have it plugged in via USB or snap-in adapter.)

The web browser is pretty pants to be honest, I had on my last MY14 car. Mine was all in German (uk car) 3 dealer visits couldn't rectify.
