My X1 subscription services have expired now - I downloaded the most up to date map recently so dont have any immediate concerns there.
For £99 I can get Connected Package Plus which has
1. Remote Services from my smartphone (very very occasionally I have used this)
2. BMW Online (have never used this and no need to)
3. BMW Connected + (send routes to car which I have used up to now)
4. Online speech processing (which seems to be some sort of digital / voice recognition (dont think I will use this))
5. USB Map Update
6. Real Time Traffic Information (when I did have this I was never very confident of it especially on routes where I had better local information)
So all of the above for £99. Definitely not worth it though if in the car myself I find it easier to use the car satnav rather than google maps (maybe just never set my phone up properly but the car does have Heads Up Display with sat nav instructions). Probably even less worth it nowadays where travel is limited and I may end up working from home when I come off furlough!
But on the other hand, I don't see the point in having equipment and capability in my car that I can't use for the sake of £99!
Any thoughts from other BMW owners?
