Technology discontinuation

Antony_correia11 · 10-18-2016, 06:03 PM

Hello all

I own a 2011 328. I got this memo in my car today. Just a quick question, does anyone know if connected drive includes navigation? Or will my navigation still work

Thanks

BMW services -- SOS, BMW Assist, and Concierge -- all entail the car's use of cellular telephone technology, and the mobile phone carrier networks no longer support the old cellular protocol necessary for SOS, BMW Assist, and Concierge.

GPS is entirely dependent upon the satellites circling in space, which the US military continues to use for its ultraprecise military purposes. Different beast.

Navigation will still work.

Yep Nav will work fine

So does this mean the NSA will no long be able to track my location 24/7?

Hmmmm what do I have to do to get this? I want free stuff.

I understand that navigation will still work, but will I still get traffic updates and re-routing?

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
