With the launch of the first e-SIM plan exclusively for BMW vehicles, it has become possible to watch videos on the large screen in the rear seat of the new BMW 7 Series without a network connection procedure.
The three telecommunications companies announced on the 2nd that they will launch a vehicle-exclusive e-SIM plan together with BMW.
Automotive eSIM is a service that allows the use of mobile data by utilizing the identification chip embedded in the vehicle, without the need for a separate physical chip. To watch YouTube or other content on the rear seat monitors of a BMW, you need to use mobile carrier wireless data, and for this, a vehicle e-SIM service is required.
There are a total of five types of the first vehicle e-SIM plans from the three telecommunication companies, and once all the provided data is used, it can be continued within the main line data sharing limit.
The vehicle e-SIM service is available to BMW vehicle customers equipped with the latest version of the e-SIM service and vehicle software (OS 8) through the 'MyBMW' app.
In particular, various services and content built into the ‘BMW Theatre Screen’ entertainment system of the new BMW 7 Series, which was launched in Korea last December, can be used immediately without a separate network connection process.
Customers subscribed to the plan must log in with their BMW ID inside the vehicle to use the service, and after logging in, they can watch videos as well as use the Wi-Fi hotspot.
"We are pleased to provide high-quality mobile services to BMW customers in Korea through cooperation with the three major telecommunication companies," said Han Sang-yoon, CEO of BMW Korea. "Customers of the new BMW 7 Series will be able to more comfortably enjoy the new dimension of in-car digital experience offered by the vehicle through the cutting-edge services of the three telecommunication companies."
Shin Yong-sik, CO of SKT Connect Infrastructure, stated, “The BMW e-SIM plan is SKT’s first vehicle-specific e-SIM plan,” adding, “We have launched a plan that customers can select according to their convenience, in preparation for the era of autonomous driving and in line with the expansion of in-vehicle entertainment devices.”
