New application lets customers find businesses and get reviews
Woodcliff Lake, NJ December 21, 2011
BMW today announced that users of BMW Online in the US can now access
Yelp in their vehicles. With Yelp on-board, customers can search for
everything from the best local restaurants and boutiques to parking
garages and banks. They are able to see ratings for those businesses
while hearing reviews read out to them via the vehicles text-to-speech
feature. With the recent update to BMW Onlines layout, BMW can
seamlessly add new features (known as applications) as they become
available. Yelp is the first such application and there will be more to
follow.
Customers who subscribe to the optional BMW Assist™
Convenience Plan and have a navigation-equipped vehicle capable of
receiving the BMW Online service will be able to add the service today,
without having to make any changes to their vehicle. Yelp reviews can be
accessed through the new Applications screen that is now part of BMW
Online with the update which took place earlier this month.
