BMW SIM card reader for personal eSIM.
Product Description:
The BMW SIM card reader is a supplementary product for SA 6PA Personal eSIM. It is a small, battery-powered portable device that connects to the vehicle's infotainment system via Bluetooth LE.
The Personal eSIM (SA 6PA) is a virtual version of the traditional SIM card permanently installed in the vehicle. It is only available in BMW Connected Drive stores.
The Personal eSIM (SA 6PA) can be activated by extending the customer's existing mobile phone contract. The vehicle thus becomes, similar to a smartwatch, another networked device for the customer. Making phone calls and using mobile data is therefore possible even if the mobile phone is not in the vehicle.
The Personal eSIM (SA 6PA) includes the following functions:
- Premium telephony (best possible reception and call quality using the external antennas; 5G capable)
- Mobile hotspot (connecting up to 10 devices in the vehicle)
Not all mobile network providers operating in the BMW ConnectedDrive markets support the activation of the Personal eSIM (an overview of BMW cooperation partners can be found in the My BMW App or on the My BMW website).
In this case, the BMW SIM card reader can be used to activate and use the Personal eSIM (SA 6PA) in the vehicle.
For this purpose, a nano-SIM card is inserted into the SIM reader and connected to the vehicle's infotainment system. In the case of standard use, the Na-no-SIM card should be a second SIM card from the customer's mobile phone contract (. Multi-SIMI: identical contract, identical telephone number).
The BMW SIM card reader can remain in the vehicle or be used in multiple vehicles with SA 6PA.
