Hmm. I think the jury is out right now Technic. It seems some Canadian cars do have the new GSM TCU, and therefore can use Google MYINFO, however other cars either dont have the newer TCU, or their software version on the car is not supporting the feature.
Unfortunately, no USA build cars other than the X6 seem to have this right now.
However, regardless ... the older style TCU is still capable of receiving a text from BMW Assist which can then be used for Navigation. So its a bit annoying all this .. because clearly, if BMW wanted to ... they could roll this out for all BMW Assist users that have i-Drive.
Are you listening BMW North America ??? Give us all Google MYINFO please.
