Could it work like this? As described by BMW Australia? Or is "TeleAssist" something different?

Reach your destination faster.

The right information in the right place at the right time - this is the purpose of BMW TeleAssist. Should any difficulties arise, your location is automatically transmitted to the emergency or the breakdown service: the latter relays important vehicle data to the BMW Servicemobiles so that the right help arrives on the scene faster.

No typing, no fumbling with maps - just press a button to contact the professional staff of the BMW Call Centre. Here you will be given information which you need at your location or destination, e.g. hotel and restaurant recommendations, addresses and phone numbers. All the data you request can be integrated directly into the navigation system and the car phone; you are always well informed and can reach your destination faster and more comfortably.

Travel in comfort.

BMW TeleAssist is the perfect travelling companion.
A direct line to the BMW breakdown service ensures mobility in every situation, and should a serious situation arise, BMW TeleAssist automatically sends out an emergency call with the location of the vehicle to the nearest rescue service. And finally, there is the information service - wherever you are travelling, you can make enquiries about addresses and phone numbers in the area and use this information in the navigation system and car phone. This way, you can find restaurants, cinemas or hotels at your destination even before you get there.

Perfectly prepared.

BMW TeleAssist can offer its help even before you begin your journey. Use your PC to plan your route, accommodation and leisure activities while still at home and then transfer this data to the vehicle's navigation system and the touch of a button.

What equipment is needed for BMW TeleAssist?

Your BMW needs special equipment if you want to use BMW TeleAssist. This includes a BMW navigation system and an integrated BMW telematic car phone. You can also have BMW TeleAssist installed in an older model: contact your preferred BMW dealer for details.
