Sim Reader For Personal Esim

Description

The BMW SIM Reader is a complementary product to the SA 6PA Personal eSIM. It is a small portable battery-powered device that connects to the vehicle's infotainment system via Bluetooth LE. The Personal eSIM (SA 6PA) is a virtual version of a conventional SIM card permanently installed in the vehicle. It is only available in BMW Connected Drive markets. The Personal eSIM (SA 6PA) can be activated by extending your existing mobile communications contract. The vehicle thus becomes another connected device, similar to a smartwatch. This makes it possible to make phone calls and use mobile data even when the cell phone is not in the vehicle. The Personal eSIM (SA 6PA) includes the following functions: -Premium telephony (best possible reception and call quality by using the external antennas; 5G-capable). -mobile hotspot (connection of up to 10 end devices in the vehicle). -radio interface: Bluetooth 4.2 LE. Not all mobile network providers operating in the BMW ConnectedDrive markets support 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 Reader can be used to activate and use the Personal eSIM (SA 6PA) in the vehicle. To do this, a nano SIM card is inserted into the SIM Reader and it is connected to the vehicle's infotainment system. In the standard use case, the nano SIM card should be a second SIM card of your mobile phone contract ("multi-SIM": identical contract, identical phone number). The BMW SIM Reader can remain in the vehicle or be used in multiple vehicles with SA 6PA. -The Personal eSIM (SA 6PA) can also be used if a cooperating mobile phone provider is unavailable. -The Personal eSIM uses the vehicle's cellular antennas, improving call quality and mobile data reception. -The Personal eSIM makes the vehicle 5G-ready. -The Personal eSIM reduces cellular radiation in the vehicle by using the external antennas. -The SIM reader can be used in multiple vehicles (max. 10). Functionality: -The BMW SIM Reader has an internal receptacle for a nano SIM card, into which, for example, an additional card of the existing mobile phone contract is inserted. -The insertion of the SIM card makes the device ready for operation, after which it can be connected to the vehicle's infotainment system and thus activate and use the Personal eSIM (SA 6PA) -The battery life in operation is approximately 2 years. The battery charge level is displayed on the vehicle's control display -The steps for connecting the BMW SIM Reader and thus activating the Personal eSIM (SA 6PA) are shown on the control display -The integrated LED status display provides information about the connection status or an error condition of the BMW SIM Reader -The battery type used is not available as a BMW spare part, but is available worldwide on the open market The BMW SIM Reader for Personal eSIM can only be used in conjunction with the SA 6PA. Not all vehicles with SA 6PA are eligible for the use of the BMW SIM Reader. Exclusions exist via the construction date of the vehicle and in conjunction with some top driver assistance SAs. Some vehicles can be retroactively enabled for the BMW SIM Reader from a certain date of construction in conjunction with a more current I-stage.
