Parking can certainly be frustrating in the Chicago area, but BMW Parking Assistant Professional offers technology designed to make tight spaces easier to manage. The system combines advanced features such as Automatic Park Assistant, Maneuver Assistant, and Remote Control Parking, allowing an appropriately equipped BMW to perform certain parking and maneuvering tasks automatically. You can explore the technology at Fields BMW Northfield.
Remote Control Parking
With Parking Assistant Professional, you can use Remote Control Parking through the My BMW App to park your appropriately equipped BMW from outside the vehicle. The Parking Assistant can automatically maneuver into suitable parallel or perpendicular parking spaces while you monitor the process from nearby. You can also use the feature to remotely drive out of suitable parking spaces. Compatible vehicle equipment and smartphone technology are required.
Maneuver Assistant
Maneuver Assistant is designed for parking and maneuvering situations you encounter repeatedly, such as navigating a narrow driveway or pulling into your garage. First, you manually drive and record the desired route, then save and name it through the vehicle's parking-assistance system. You can store up to 10 maneuvers, and when you return to the starting area, the vehicle can automatically reproduce a saved route. Saved maneuvers can also be performed remotely using the My BMW App on compatible vehicles.
If an obstacle appears along a recorded route, Maneuver Assistant can make slight adjustments to navigate around it when sufficient space is available. The system can also reject detected parking spaces if it determines that the space is too small or doesn't provide enough room for occupants to exit the vehicle.
BMW Models With Parking Assistant Professional
Parking Assistant Professional is offered on a growing range of BMW vehicles, with availability depending on model, model year, equipment, and software. Compatible examples include select BMW iX and BMW 7 Series models, along with several other BMW sedans and SUVs. Because equipment requirements vary, our team can help you determine which new or pre-owned BMW models support the parking functions you want.
Although Parking Assistant Professional can automate certain parking and maneuvering tasks, you remain responsible for monitoring the vehicle's surroundings and must be prepared to intervene when necessary.
Parking Assistant vs. Parking Assistant Plus vs. Professional
BMW offers several levels of parking assistance. Parking Assistant provides automated parking support along with features such as Backup Assistant and Park Distance Control, while Parking Assistant Plus adds expanded camera views and other technology. Parking Assistant Professional goes further by adding features such as Maneuver Assistant and Remote Control Parking, allowing compatible automated maneuvers to be controlled from outside the vehicle through the My BMW App.
Remote Control Parking requires compatible vehicle equipment and a compatible smartphone with the latest My BMW App and BMW Digital Key Plus functionality. You must also remain close to the vehicle and continuously monitor the maneuver.
