TiVo’s next stop is the new BMW 5 Series.

The once-meaningful TiVo brand (now owned by Xperi) wasn’t saved by launching its Android TV dongle, but it isn’t gone yet.

Dave Zatz points out that despite a delay in its plans for TiVo OS smart TVs, the company announced last week it scored a placement with BMW for in-car access to streaming and linear video content.

BMW’s implementation of the Powered by TiVo™ platform will include a variety of country-specific content, offering news, movies and access to media libraries. The video media platform is expected to roll out over-the-air in initial launch countries by the end of 2023 for customers of the all-new BMW 5 series and further models.

The new 5 Series sedans are first up, including the new all-electric version with almost 300 miles of range.

Samsung’s BMW phone comes with training on how to be a better driver.

Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S23 Ultra BMW M Edition in South Korea (seen via SamMobile), a limited edition of the device inspired by the BMW M3 E30. Finally, a phone for people allergic to turn signals.

I’m sure the design has some appeal for BMW drivers, but it’s overshadowed by its incredible packaging.
