Yeah, good thing to note, though BMW's connected service is pretty basic. Lets you remote change and start preconditioning (cool or warn the car before your departure), though you can set that up on a time/day schedule from the dash infotainment system as well. Lock/unlock the car, honk the horn, etc (act like a remote key fob). Provides an 'OnStar" like emergency service, and and live traffic updates - all on a paid subscription basis. Some pre mid-2017 owners have opted to install an add-on Apple Carplay system to use Apple or Google Maps or Waze for live traffic info during Navigation - and any of those three have a better map/nav system than BMW. As well, one owner of a 2014 had their dealer upgrade the Telecom modem in their car to 4G - a little pricey, but fixes the issue.Me, am waiting until Feb 2022 when BMW actually tells us what they will and won't do. For the 2G to 3G switch, BMW initially said they were not going to provide an upgrade path, and then did in the end.
