ConnectedDrive is a collection of electronic features for BMW vehicles.
ConnectedDrive was introduced in 2008 at the Geneva Motor Show[1][2] as a web browser built into the car's infotainment system. Additional features have been added since, such as smartphone integration, synchronising with calendars, heads-up display, lane departure warning system, active cruise control, night vision and traffic information.[3][4]
2015 security flaw
[edit]In 2015, ADAC (a German motoring association) discovered security flaws in the ConnectedDrive system which potentially allowed attackers to remotely unlock the vehicle.[5][6] To fix this flaw, BMW released a security update, which was automatically installed via the Internet.[7] There are no reports of the flaw being used to gain unauthorised access to a vehicle.[8]
