Starting with the 2008 BMW X6 and all 2009 BMW models, owners who buy a BMW Assist Safety Plan will be able to send directions, phone numbers and other info from Google Maps to their car.
Yes, you’ll have to pre-send the knowledge from a computer to your car, but the concept is that drivers won’t have to print out maps or directions — they’ll be synched with the car’s navigation. Phone numbers can plus be sent and dialed via the car’s Bluetooth system.
The BMW Assist Safety Plan is standard on all BMW 5, 6 and 7 series vehicles and is offered as a stand-alone option or as part of option packages on all other models. That sounds similar to OnStar’s new Destination Download announced earlier that month, but BMW’s plan doesn’t require the use of an operator.
