Parking Assistance verses Parking Assistance Plus verses Parking Assistance Pro @ £30
Parking Assistance verses Parking Assistance Plus verses Parking Assistance Plus
Any one confused as to why, when reviewing the car IX 50 M Sport, we went and ticked nearly all the boxes Ordered inn Sept 2021, expecting or so been told, Car in transit to the UK. So hopefully March to dealer Then we find the options on the parking assistance 2 options have now changed to 3 levels, IE Pro added @ £300.00 I assumed as the top option was selected at the time of order . We would have the memory function for the car Anyone else ?? in the UK with In similar dilemma Unable to find out if it’s a simple upgrade , as all sensors seem to be the same. Are we able to have reto fit of the main missing memory function Is it OTH firmware upgrade. Dealer upgrade ? Only option being offered is to order car with this option and the ensuing wait |

Did you ever hear anything else about this? I've been told that Parking Assistant Pro is only available on newer models, despite being a software only feature, and cannot be dealer upgraded after a car has left the factory. It's a bit of a worry though as one of the great features of the iX is supposed to be how future proof it is in terms of autonomous driving facilities. If you can't get a £300 software only parking feature added on after manufacture, then what's going to happen when the iX finally gets enabled for level 3 autonomous driving? Will that only be an option for new iX cars, even if they are mechanically and electrically identical to existing ones?

The press releases mentioning Parking Assistant Professional are also fairly vague about requirements only mentioning that it will be available for all all iX variants starting March 2022. It’s also specifically mentioned in the RSU Roadmap from Q4 2022. I have reached out to BMW Press for clarification and will share the feedback when I hear back.
