I have a 2013 528i with NBT that is 3G equipped and was recently told by BMW Genius that: "As of July 1, 2017, BMW will no longer be able to support the BMW Assist services in vehicles with CDMA-based (Code Division Multiple Access) cellular technology. Therefore, BMW Assist Safety and Convenience Services will no longer function in your vehicle at that time. BMW Assist discontinued its renewal notice activities for these vehicles as of August 10, 2015.
At this time, we regret to confirm that BMW is unable to offer a retrofit option to upgrade the hardware to newer hardware. We apologize that, as a result, your vehicle will be unable to receive the Safety and Convenience Services offered by BMW Assist and we sincerely appreciate your previously subscribing to these services."
I then called them to ask about the information recently posted in this forum, and they claimed no knowledge of it. I plan to keep calling periodically in hopes that that changes.
