When choosing a foreign car, you should consider buying a Chinese car. In this respect reports lenta.ru, citing Evgeny Zhitnukhin, head of the dealership department of the Fresh automotive market.
“European, Japanese and Korean cars arriving in Russia through parallel imports can present unpleasant “surprises” to their owners. One of the latest examples is the banning of access to the Bluetooth function for BMW owners. At the same time, this function is still available for those who purchased the brand’s models before the sanctions ban on car imports to Russia was introduced,” said Zhitnukhin.
According to the expert, when purchasing a Chinese car officially sold in Russia, the owner will not have problems with warranty service and spare parts.
It happened before that knownThat new BMW cars imported into the Russian Federation through parallel imports, mainly through European countries, no longer allow their owners to connect their smartphones to the on-board multimedia system. This happens if the machine detects its presence in Russia.
There is a workaround to fix the problem. To do this you need to disable the telemetry unit. Then the connection of smartphones will start working in normal mode (Car Play), but some other car options will stop working.
