Product description
The “Telematics Platform Accessory” (TPA) is the
name given to the system installed anonymously
(i.e. it is undetectable from the outside) into the
vehicle that forms the basis for various services.
To this end, TPA esta blishes a GSM connection
between the vehicle and a central server via which
information can be exchanged. By doing this, the
TPA facilitates a broad spectrum of application
options that can be converted into services for the
customer.
These services are dened by and oered to the
customer as a service package by the individual
BMW subsidiaries in cooperation with local service
providers who provide the appropriate infrastructure.
These packages are therefore local products that
can vary from market to market.
The following services packages are currently
available:
• Stolen Vehicle Tracking/Recovery
including an optional driver
authorisation performed via transponders.
• Log book/eet manageme nt, i.e. the date, time,
location and distance travelled is documented
for each journey.
• Vehicle position query from the customer.
• Triggering of an automatic call to the emergency
services (non-verbal) in the event of an accident.
• Recording of insurance-relevant usage data,
including accident data recording (pre- and post-
crash).
When certain services are used, some insurance
companies oer discounts. These discount rules
depend on the service packages available locally
and the service portfolios of the individual insur-
ance companies, and can therefore vary tremen-
dously.
In individual cases, the customer should ask their
insurance company directly about these services.
Sales features/benets
• BMW-tested hardware (electromagnetic com-
patibility, vehicle electrical system connection,
standby current consumption, etc.).
• Platform system for capturing safety-related
information (theft, logbook/eet management,
insurance-relevant usage data).
• WEB-based customer access to various data
and services.
• Discounts on insurance premiums (depending
on the insurance company and the services
taken).
• Stolen Vehicle Tracking/Recovery (SVR):
• Satises all currently applicable European
standards.
• Theft alarm by the customer or through the
sensors built into the car.
• Tracking and function blocking of a stolen
vehicle.
• In some cases this is a prerequisite for
acceptance of a theft insurance policy.
Note
The hardware can only be used in conjunction with
a service agreement which incurs additional costs.
Please nd out in advance from your sales
company whether a local service provider is
available and what service packages are oered!
