Modesto, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/16/2012 -- Valley BMW is proud to offer BMW Assist to customers in the Modesto, California area. This technology, which combines GPS technology, ConnectedDrive, and hands-free wireless communication to help drivers stay safe on the road, is available on new BMW cars and SUVs at the Modesto dealership.

New BMWs that offer BMW Assist combine the car’s GPS with the ConnectedDrive system to help keep drivers safe and secure. At any time, day or night, drivers can contact a representative at the BMW Assist Response Center by simply pushing the “SOS” button. In the case of an accident, the system will automatically call and give information about the crash and location to a response specialist, who will then contact emergency services. The system can also help recover stolen vehicles or unlock the car doors if needed.

In addition to these safety and security features, BMW Assist also offers hands-free calling. Through Bluetooth wireless technology, drivers can make and receive calls while keeping both hands on the wheel. The system is activated and controlled by simple voice commands or steering wheel controls, which can be used to browse contacts and dial numbers through a BMW-compatible Bluetooth mobile phone.

BMW Assist technology can be experienced by Modesto customers firsthand at Valley BMW.
