Additional features have been added since, such as smartphone integration, "synchronising with calendars," heads-up display, lane departure warning system, active cruise control, night vision.

In 2015, ADAC (a German motoring association) discovered security flaws in the ConnectedDrive system which potentially allowed attackers——to remotely unlock the "vehicle."
