Availability of BMW ConnectedDrive RTTI

BMW RTTI (Real Time Traffic Information) has been available on the BMW navigation system professional model CIC in Germany, Italy, France and the United Kingdom since June 2011.

Despite BMW AG announcing in a press release that more countries would be added, BMW silently decided in 2012 that RTTI would only be available for new BMWs delivered from July 2013. BMW AG's explanation was that RTTI on a navigation system professional model CIC wouldn't be technically possible. BMW AG's decision also unnecessary affects early versions of navigation system professional model NBT.

Because RTTI was initally made available in the 4 countries mentioned above, BMW AG's motivation, that it would not be technically possible, isn't unfortunately not true. Navituning has proven that BMW RTTI can be activated for all BMW models with navigation system professional delivered from mid-2011 with at least (factory) options 609 and 633.
