BMW Live

Does anyone know if option: BMW Live could be retrofitted and if it's only question of reprogramming or if any hardware must be added?

Garage List
No retrofit at time being. It's only with Navigation option

I don't have Navigation but I do have BMW live(118i M Sport). It uses the data connection your phone if it isn't spec'd with Nav / connected drive. I had to setup a personal hotspot on my iPhone 4.

Hope this helps.

I have...

I have professional navi system, but BMW Live in not included, so I would add it. In the menu, I have option to enable data transfer over the bluetooth phone, so i guess that update to BMW Live would be only re-programming stuff, but the dealer told me that it requires some hardware to add which makes no sense...

I might also ask my dealer when I get the car delivered. I'm also interested as I've ordered pro-nav (609) and Hands-free with USB interface (6NH) but no Live or BMW Apps extras... I hope it's only a matter of software. Let us know if you get any other feedback...

I'm sure he meant THEY can retrofit apps for a very BMWish reasonable price...
