USING
If you are using a TV on input AV2, it is possible to use the iDrive commands to
control that accessory.
To control the accessories, use the iDrive command on the central console, as
shown on the image below.
Move the iDrive to the left to
visualize the commands. Then
move it forward, back, left or right
to move the icon selection. Then,
move it to the left and hold for 2
seconds to select the chosen

Command icons. You can see them on screen by
spinning the iDrive or by touching the screen, if you
are using a touchscreen.
Note: the commands will only work if you have previously made the IR
programming according to the instructions on pages 5-6 and if you have
connected the IR-TV cable on the TV module.

Problem Solving
1. After installing the interface, the radio won’t turn on.
• Review the installation and check if the cables are connected according to the
images on pages 3 and 4;
• Check if the cables are well connected.
2. When I try to access AV1 or AV2, no sound will come out.
• To listen to the accessories audio, you need to tune in to the FM bandwidth
previously configured. The FM transmitter is sold separately.
3. The rear camera won’t show up when I put my car on reverse.
• Check the DIP Switches to make sure they are set accordingly to the table on
page 2.
4. I can’t control the TV using the original commands.
• Check if the IR-TV cable is correctly connected;
• Remake the IR programming, following the instructions on pages 5 and 6;
• Make sure the TV is connected to the AV2 input. That is the only way the
commands will work.
