General information
Whether or not text messages and e-mails from the mobile phone are displayed depends on whether transmission from the mobile phone to the vehicle is supported. Text messages and emails may not be supported by the service provider, or the function may need to be enabled separately. After the mobile phone is first paired, transmission may take several minutes. Messages are only displayed in full length when the vehicle is stationary. Messages from the additional telephone are not transmitted.
Display of different messages:
▷ Text messages.
▷ Message from My Info.
▷ Messages from the BMW Assist Concierge
service.
▷ E-mails from the mobile phone.
