I finally succeeded in coding VIN and body type into the car computer. I had some problems with the making of the I-Bus interface but it seems these are over now. Thank you RolandDV for it.

I now have “Auto emergency call” activated, and a new option for “BMW Assist” in the main menu.

- Does anybody know what is “Auto emergency call” supposed to do? Is it related to the S.O.S. option in the telephone menu? Does it actually call someone automatically? What is it that triggers the call? Who is it it calls? Would it be a voice call or a SMS call? Any of the telephone numbers to be keyed in the “telematics settings” screen have any meaning to this regard? What numbers should I key in for Spain?
- What is “BMW Assist”? What telephone numbers in the “telematics settings” screen refer to “BMW Assist? What telephone numbers should be keyed-in?

Thank you

When you crash your car, it will automatically call BMW Assist centre and report the emergency, with your vehicle type, colour, licence plate, location, and crash data

Yes

Yes, it calls automatically when the airbag unit detects a crash.

It calls the number programmed in the Telematics settings menu.
It sends a SMS text message in 4 parts.

Ask your local BMW Dealer what the correct numbers are for Spain.

BMW Assist allows you to send txt messages asking for help from your BMW using the BMW phone system
In many countries BMW Assist is a subscription service, here in New Zealand I do not believe the local BMW dealer offers the service.
Ask at your BMW Dealer if BMW Assist is available in Spain, and what the charges are.

Thank you Kiwi.
From your answer I understand that Emergency Call may work, once the proper phone numbers are keyed in the system, but that BMW Assist will not work unless it is available in my country and I have subscribed to it.
There are three numbers to key:
- SMSC CENTRE
- SMS number
- Cust. Service
I guess the first two numbers refer to the Emergency Call and the last one to BMW Assist.
Can you confirm my assumptions?
Thanks

SMSC Centre is the SMS message centre that your mobile service provide specifices. Look it up on your cellphone.

SMS number is the number to send the emergency call text messages to
Cust Service is the number to call BMW customer service (voice call I think)

Once you have the SMSC centre number set, you can ender the SMS number of a friends cellphone and send him the text message. Try it!

Hi

How would you send a sms message from the car?

Enter the text number of your friends phone, or your (non-car) phone

Select Emergency Call or BMW Assist and see what happens.

You cannot enter a text message manually.

Ok, thanks
It must be because my Assist isn't initialized that it does not work.

Hello boys.
I have not understood...
But it is possible to see the tv in motion with this interface through a code to send to the I-bus?
Thanks

Yes, you can do TV in motion this way. But noone knows the code to make it work.

Do you know the code?
