Take a look...

thanks for the info. I've been wondering if BMW would charge a monthly fee for the real time traffic service, it's awesome to find out they included it in the price of Navigation System

sucks that there's no coverage in Canada!

i wonder if there is a way to have that Real Time service added on to an already Nav equiped e90?? any ideas? kind alike an ad-on sirius sat tuner?

Since it's FM-based I would think/hope that it could be integrated via software but I'm not affiliated with BMW other than as a product owner.

At first I thought this as well... but then I heard the 07s include two FM tuners with one dedicated to traffic. Atleast, that was mentioned on another thread, so take it for whats it worth.

oh, this is so good to hear. now the navi is so much more of an everyday thing. glad that $2100 option was put in

sruzgar · 09-06-2006, 08:27 AM

This is very cool, I would love to have this in my e90! No doubt they will charge us for the additional FM receiver and software update :-(

Very cool. This was the primary reason I ordered the Nav on my 335. I am happy to hear that it will not require an additional monthly charge. That is a pleasant surprise. But it remains to be seen whether the information will be accurate and timely enough to be useful.

So are they going to do a retrofit?

nyc3r · 09-06-2006, 10:29 AM

Yeah, I want this on my existing E90 NAV!!
