The onboard computer offers you an array of functions designed to foster safety
while simultaneously enhancing your driving pleasure. The GPS navigation system frees you from the burden of reading maps or looking
for road signs. It will guide you to any destination recorded on your map CD/DVD. The radio, with its superb reception quality, joins the cassette and CD players in
providing optimal sound to satisfy every taste while serving up entertainment to make every trip seem short.
The computer calculates vital operating data – including average fuel consumption, cruising range on the remaining fuel and the estimated time of arrival. It provides additional safety before driving – for example, with entry of a code number for the engine immobilizer – and during driving – for example, with an acoustic warning tone so that you do not drive faster than you intend to.
We wish you an enjoyable driving experience. BMW AG

GPS Map CD/DVD

Only enter data when the vehicle
is stationary, and always obey the traffic regulations and road signs in the event of any contradiction between the traffic situation and the instructions given by the navigation system. If you do not observe this precaution, you may be in violation of the law, and can endanger vehicle occupants and other highway users.
Never place any metallic objects,
such as umbrellas, on the rear tray (sedan and coupe) near the GPS antenna, as such objects can interfere with the GPS reception and may pre­vent the GPS navigation system from operating correctly.
The GPS navigation system eliminates the need to consult conventional road maps as you drive. It therefore makes an important contribution to traffic safety.
GPS stands for Global Positioning Sys­tem.
This integral component within your vehicle's navigation system relies on reference satellites to determine the precise position of your vehicle.
The result: the GPS navigation system automatically offers reliable guidance to your selected destination.
<
<
Map CDs/DVDs are inserted in the nav­igation computer located at the left rear of the luggage compartment.
To ensure that your vehicle's navigation system has access to the latest high­way network information, always load the most recent CD/DVD version of the digital road map. As is the case with conventional road maps, the map CDs/ DVDs are subject to periodic updates to ensure that they reflect the latest infor­mation and surveys.
The DVD will be available at a later time and will provide additional
features such as larger map scales.
<
Changing the map CD/DVD
Map CDs/DVDs contain road maps covering one or more countries or regions. When you drive your BMW, the navigation system will alert you when you are leaving the area stored on the map CD/DVD that is currently loaded. You should respond by changing the map CD/DVD in the navigation com­puter.
Only map CDs of version 2001-1 or higher can be used.
To change the map CD/DVD:
1.
The CD/DVD is ejected from the navigation computer (press button several times if necessary)
2. Remove the CD/DVD
3. Insert the new CD/DVD
4. Allow approx. eight seconds for the new CD/DVD to start.

Wordmatch principle

Your GPS navigation system features a "wordmatch" system designed to make it easier for you to enter names. The system runs ongoing checks, compar­ing your destination entries with the data stored on the map CD/DVD as the basis for instant response. The user benefits include: > When you make an entry that
consists of more than one word, the system can identify the name regard­less of the sequence in which you enter the individual words.
Example: Official version:
J.F. Kennedy Square Possible entries:
Kennedy Square J.F. or:
Square J.F. Kennedy
> Names of specific locations can also
vary from the official versions, provided that the spelling of the entry corresponds to a standard form used in another country
> When you are entering the names of
cities and streets the system will complete them automatically as soon as enough letters are available to ensure unambiguous identification.
Example: You want to drive to Rexford Drive in
Beverly Hills; as soon as you enter the letter "x", the system has enough information for positive identification and can then finish the entry automatically
> The system only accepts name
entries beginning with letters that are stored on the map CD/DVD. This makes it impossible to enter an incor­rect name or address.

screen? Reception is interrupted; a building or similar obstruction may be the cause
> the guidance system fails to adopt an
address from the address book as its destination? The address is not on the map CD/ DVD currently in use. Choose an address as close as possible to the original one, using the map for saving destinations as necessary
> the guidance system does not adopt

> you wish to enter a destination
address into the guidance system, but the letters for it cannot be selected? The address is not on the map CD/ DVD currently in use. In this case, the system will not offer you any letters to choose from. Choose an address as close as possible to the original one, if necessary using the map for saving destinations
> you attempt to enter a destination
address using the target cursor, but the guidance system refuses to accept your entry? Your current scale does not offer adequate resolution. The system only accepts destinations from scales of up to 1 mile or 2 km ("Save dest." can be highlighted)
> the system stops furnishing direc-
tions on which way to turn as you approach intersections?
You are driving in an area that has not yet been completely recorded on the map CD/DVD. The output route arrow points in the direction of the next point already recorded or the destination already recorded, or you have left the recommended route and the system requires a few seconds to calculate a new recom­mended route
> the route map automatically appears
while you are being guided to your destination (full screen mode)? You are driving in an area that has not yet been recorded on the map CD/ DVD. The guidance system cannot operate under these conditions. However, you will see the current position of your BMW in the map dis­play to help you orient yourself

RDS – Radio Broadcast Data System
Specially designed systems offer improved sound quality by compensat­ing for the inherent limitations of mobile reception:
The Radio Broadcast Data System (RDS) transmits supplementary infor­mation in the FM range. RDS stations provide the following services:
> During reception from stations broad-
casting on more than one frequency, the radio automatically changes to the frequency with the best reception quality
> The receiver processes the RDS sig-
nals and provides the name of the station on the screen
> Additional information can be indi-
cated or called up in the display (such as text bulletins from the station).
Remember that reception of RDS data is only possible under favorable recep­tion conditions. If reception is poor or interference is present, there may be a delay before the station's name appears on the display screen.

To prevent CDs from being copied
illegally, they are often provided with copy protection by the manufac­turer. Please observe the information on your CD. These CDs differ from the Red Book CD audio standard, on the basis of which all CD players and changers are designed. Under certain circumstances this can prevent or restrict the playing of CDs on your CD player. In this case please contact the CD dealer or manufacturer.
