I called them once to activate mine, but that's the only time I've used it. I too will probably activate it just for the reason stated by others.. in case I'm in an accident it is kinda nice to know the car will call for help automatically.

Curious however what the liability would be to BMW if I did NOT renew, and then got into a serious accident on some deserted road and ended up dying in my car because nobody came to help because the system had not been renewed. I assume the car would still call because it doesn't know whether I've renewed or not, but someone at the alarm station would ignore the call based on the fact that I was not paid up. If I ended up dying and they could have prevented this by taking the call for help from my car, doesn't that put them in a rather bad PR situation?

The real question is"Why would you care if you are dead"
