Can you install BMW Assist ?
Just picked up the 1er and I am regretting not getting BMW assist because I want to use the BT phone feature thru the navi.
Is it possible to have it installed? |

There's a button under a cover, up in the overheard console, that initiates the Assist call. I believe Assist is not retrofittable, just as BT is not retrofittable.

Actually, I asked that question when I picked up my car yesterday. It can be retrofitted. But it would be expensive because it requires replacing the TCU.

Sorry no. I didn't ask about anything that specific.

if your car is equipped with telephone prewiring, you need a tcu and an fzd (the entire roof module that has both the sos button and the sunroof button), you also need a programming update.

please take this for what it's worth, which is just a guess.
But if it's the bluetooth specifically that you want, and not the actual assist part of it, I think that would be easier to retrofit than the entire assist system. I am somewhat sure that you can order the bluetooth as a standalone option so it may be not that crazy to retrofit just the bluetooth.

I'd like to know if you could retrofit a switch to disable it... so the powers that be can't locate your cars whereabouts if you didn't want them to...
