@jsmythe32, i am fighting with BMW support 3 months, because my navi not talking, and personal assistant not working too, at any language, 3 months i have this car and those functions are not working in my country.

with your problem, i am sure assistant plus is working for you for 100 percent, only BMW hide those menu in newest version ID9, but is working like should be.

cOBRaX The more I read and learn, I tend to agree with you. Assistant plus is working at speeds over 40mph where I need to keep my hand on the wheel. I have not seen it enabled at speeds under 40 mph but I rarely drive on the highways in traffic jams and I have only had the car for 2 weeks.

Correct.

So on any road, you click the steering wheel button to turn on cruise control and it will enable the self drive but does require you to keep a hand on the wheel and it has to see good lines on the road to follow. It looks like the picture in attaching.

When enabled it will speed up and slow down based on the car in front of you, and it will also keep the lane. If you touch your turn signal in either direction, it will look for the next opportunity to switch lanes and it will do it for you as well. Also, if you want to override the cruise control piece, you can press the accelerator and get closer or further from other cars, you can also always just take the wheel and switch lanes or any maneuver you need to make.

But, went on the highway and traveling under 40 mph (even if the cruise is set higher than 40), a little message will flash up that says assist plus ready. If you take your hands off the wheel, it will enable it and it will switch to just saying assist plus, and the two lights on the steering wheel will light up green.

It does still check if your eyes are paying attention to the road and it will give you a warning if they are not.

Once you creep over 40 mph it will start yelling at you grab the wheel. That said it seems like just touching. The wheel is enough, unlike like some other where you have to put some weight on the wheel so it knows you’re there.

Hopefully this makes sense. Feel free to ask me any other questions use quite a bit.

I have the Driving Assistance Professional Package on my car which includes active driving assistant pro, traffic jam assistant, active lane keep assist w side collision avoidance and active cruise control with stop and go.

But the features you are describing come up as Assist Plus on screen in the car I believe. But yes correct.

More photos after some traffic driving heading home from work.

Once assist plus ready comes up you just take your hands off the wheel to turn it on.

thanks, i will ask my dealer why i have no message about assist plus like you in my car, because i paid for assist plus, but maybe is not ready for my country yet, like voice assistant + navi voice guide. Its crap, you buy the car and few important things you paid, is not working ...

That’s so annoying! Hope you get it figured out.
