Infiniti launches personal assistant service for new vehicle owners

Infiniti has launched a personal assistant program that gives new vehicle owners 24-hour access to a team of live people who can help with anything from roadside assistance to general trivia questions. The Infiniti Personal Assistant service is available to new Infiniti vehicle owners.

Accessible primarily by cell phone and synched with the car's hand-free Bluetooth phone system, the Personal Assistant can also be accessed by text or via online. Callers can ask a range of questions.

Categories include:

• Directions, city guides and directory assistance
  
• Emergency assistance
  
• Weather forecasts
  
• Movie times and reviews
  
• Travel arrangements

Owners can also get schedule reminders, stock market information, sports scores and general trivia answers, as well as make restaurant reservations and compare prices for consumer products.

To date, top user topics have included directory assistance, dining suggestions and driving directions, according to Infiniti.

New Infiniti purchasers are registered with the service before taking delivery of their new Infiniti M, G, QX, FX or EX. Free for the first four years of Infiniti ownership, the Personal Assistant is supported by MyStar.

The rollout of Infiniti Personal Assistant begins today, and will be available in all markets within the next 90 days.
