Irvine BMW Confirms, Yelp is Now Available in Your BMW

December 27, 2011 – Irvine, Calif. – Irvine BMW is excited to confirm, Yelp is now available in your BMW for users of BMW Online.
    
With Yelp on-board, customers can search for everything from the best local restaurants and boutiques to parking garages and banks.

Users are able to see ratings for businesses while hearing reviews read out to them via the vehicle’s text-to-speech feature. With the recent update to BMW Online’s 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.

The BMW Online Yelp application has several exciting features including, category search, results overview, details and reviews.
   
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.

BMW ConnectedDrive combines various elements from online applications, driver assistance, call center services and solutions for the integration of mobile devices.
