We can retrofit this is any 2009+ 3-, 1- or X-series as well as in the 2005-2010 5 series.
It requires the CIC, the Combox and the Internet enabled mobile phone supported by BMW.

Yes, it can!
Just send us your VIN at info@bimmer-tech.net and I will let you know all details.

Anyway I am sorry it takes us so long to reply!!!

And this is not a hoax.

You will hear from me today. Again sorry for the delay.

Sorry I was grumpy... Look forward to hearing from you!
Im ready to roll on this!

Thanks.

As stated in the Press Release above, BMW Live -and thus BMW Online- are not available in the USA or in Canada as a factory-installed feature or as an OEM retrofit. Therefore your M3 will have none available "natively".

Nevertheless, both features can be added to your car by contacting the vendor in the very first thread.

Very cool features!

BIGW0RM · 07-19-2011, 01:22 PM

I'm confused...

Please pardon my n00bness. But what is the difference between your solution and this one?

Can anyone explain this to me?

Thanks!

You can contact Alekshop if they are close to you or you can contact us directly for FL, NJ or any other location.

Thank you.

Can you explain to me what the two different options are price wise? I spoke with Alekshop and he had two prices. But couldnt explain to me what the differences are.

And by doing this, do I loose anything? I thought I read I loose BWM SOS, but get BMW live instead?

This is all so confusing...

Thank you!!!

Thanks Technic, exactly what I was looking for. I missed that bit in the press release obviously. Now the question stands, when is Bimmertech going to visit Toronto or at least somewhere close!

Hey Patryk,

Does this firmware update also means 6NR (BMW Apps, BMW Plugin and Video Playback) for pre-LCI 5 Series? If so, I definitely what it!!!!!

I emailed him yesterday with my VIN. Haven't heard anything yet. An hour install is definitely doable.
