4 G and map updates over the air at BMW

Shown at the Mondial de l'Automobile, in Paris, the BMW 2 Serie convertible will be the fist car to offer an over-the-air map data update.

The maps of the Navigation system Professional will be updated via a mobile phone connection – at no cost to the user – thanks to the SIM card fitted in the car.

The built-in SIM card in BMW models will now support the 4G wireless standard (Long Term Evolution – LTE), which provides significantly improved network coverage and data transfer speeds. In this way BMW ConnectedDrive intelligent connectivity functions will offer even faster and more reliable performance.
