You have to hold the button for like 5 seconds.

It's free for 4 years or 50K miles. I use mine to locate titty bars among other things. There is a concierge service attached.

I never thought of that. The operators will order food for you?

They're probably thinking your a lazy fuck because you know where you want food from and you have BT so you can easily dial.

I used mine this weekend when my fuel pump went. They sent a tow truck out to me, knew my exact location and let me know how long it would be. I was happy with the service. I've never used it to locate titty bars, the chick sounded way to nice i would have felt like a scumbag but i bet it would be funny.

I had 4 guys from out of town very amused. It was hard keeping them quiet enough for the operator to hear. One screams out, "Find one with a lunch buffet." Another guy says, "Do you have access to Zagat ratings?'

haha thats great! I'll have to do that one day, the question is did the SOS button point you to a quality titty bar or what?

I've seen better. Austin isn't really a top titty bar city. It was more for the guys. Titty bars aren't that great when the titties you see at home on a daily basis are modded. They're better than the majority of titty bar titties.

BobS · 05-05-2009, 05:02 PM

I got ya, yea i went to a brutal one in philly the other night after the phillies game, oh well

k back on topic...the SOS button can be used for all kinds of things aparently.

canrhea · 05-05-2009, 05:15 PM

I'll have to give this a try sometime

Did he just push it as is? If you push the SOS button in, the thing pops open to reveal the red button. Did it even ever pop open?

I was told that it is not free for the 06 models.

Excuse me for injecting something useful into this thread:

And see the link to the 2009 BMW Assist brochure.

Okay, carry on....

Yep. 06s are excluded.

"On suitably equipped 2007 and later models, the BMW Assist Safety Plan is part of Ultimate Service, included at no cost for 4 years from your BMW's in-service date. Your BMW Assist system also includes Bluetooth® hands-free calling capability with speech recognition."

That's right. They included one year of Safety Plan service, then it was like $199 per year.
