Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 156 676 - 01/02 BMW AG
The on-board computer offers you a great many functions which will make your journeys even safer and more of a pleasure. The GPS navigation system renders it unnecessary to consult printed maps or search for road signs and brings you accurately to any destination shown on the map CD. The radio and the cassette and CD players ensure the best possible signal reception, sound quality and choice of entertainment for all listeners' tastes, and take the monotony out of even the longest journey. The TV with teletext ensures a supply of topical information and provides in-car entertainment while you are waiting. The BMW car phones mean that you can always be contacted and make outgoing telephone calls. The computer calculates data relevant to the journey average fuel consumption, range and estimated time of arrival. It also provides additional safety both before the engine can be started for instance by demanding a code input for the engine immobiliser and when driving, for example by supplying a warning signal to make sure that you do not drive faster than intended. We wish you an enjoyable driving experience BMW AG

22nGPS Only enter data when the car is standing still, 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. Failure to do so may result in an infringement of traffic laws and put the car's occupants and other road users at risk.< Do not place any metal objects, e.g. umbrellas, on the rear window shelf (saloon model), as GPS reception may be disturbed in view of the location of the GPS aerial, and the navigation system may fail to operate precisely.< The navigation system renders it unnecessary to read maps during a journey. It therefore constitutes a significant contribution towards improved road safety. GPS stands for Global Positioning System. This is part of the navigation system, and uses satellite signals to determine your car's position. As a result, the navigation system is able to guide you efficiently and reliably to any map destination you select.
Map CD
Map CDs: changing
Map CDs contain road map covering one or more countries or regions. If your navigation system indicates that you are about to leave the area covered by the map on the CD currently inserted, you should change the map CD in the navigation system. To change the map CD: 1. Map CDs are inserted in the navigation computer on the rear left in the luggage compartment. To be quite certain that your car's navigation system has the latest road network information at its disposal, always load it with the most recent CD version of the digitised road map. Map CDs, like conventional road maps, are periodically updated on the basis of observations and survey data. Map CDs can be purchased from BMW Service; see the list of Service outlets.< The CD is ejected from the navigation computer (press the button several times if necessary) 2. Remove the CD 3. Insert a new CD 4. Wait for approx. eight seconds until the contents of the new CD have been read in.

a route
The navigation system allows you to specify the type of route you would like to take. You can thus define the priorities according to which the route is determined: > "via motorway" > "no motorway" > "fastest route" > "shortest route" > "avoid tolls". The navigation system plans routes according to fixed principles. These depend on the road characteristics that are stored on the map CD. For this reason, the route proposed by the system will not necessarily be the one the driver expects from experience.<
You can alter the type of route both when selecting a destination, and as often as desired while destination guidance is in operation the system will always adapt to your wishes: 1. Choose "Route selection ?" 2. Select the preferred type of route. The appropriate option is highlighted 3. Select .

A spoken instruction will be given and a visual display will appear on the monitor well before the next turning, informing you of any change of direction required.<
When you have entered or selected the complete destination address, the city and, if appropriate, the road name and house number are displayed on the screen; "Dest. guide" is highlighted. Press the right-hand rotary control to start destination guidance. If the split screen layout has been chosen, when destination guidance has been started the anticipated arrival time and the distance to the destination are displayed while the navigation computer is calculating the route to the destination. Calculation of a new route, displaying it on the screen and calculating the exact distance to the destination may take up to one minute.<

RDS Radio Data System
The limitations from which all non-stationary radio receivers suffer are compensated for in part by a variety of ingenious systems: The Radio Data System (RDS) broadcasts additional information on the VHF (FM) waveband. RDS stations therefore offer the following features: > Where a radio station is broadcast on several frequencies, the radio automatically switches to whichever frequency offers the best reception > Once the RDS signals have been processed, the station name appears in the display > Additional information can be shown or called up in the display (e. g. announcements in text form transmitted by the station). RDS data can, however, only be registered if reception conditions are good. Where reception is poor or in the event of interference, the station name may take some time to appear in the display.
Your car radio is designed for reception of the VHF (FM), LW (AM), MW (AM) and SW (AM) wavebands. Selecting waveband
A display with the current settings appears on the screen. The multiple memory levels mean that the keys for the wavelength perform several different functions. Each time FM is pressed, you switch between FM and FMD (diversity level, see page 52). Each time AM is pressed, you switch between the LW/LWA, MW/MWA and SW/SWA wavebands (automatic storing, see page 55).<

Sampling and selecting (Scan)

Diversity function
To ensure the best possible reception, this radio has an RDS diversity function, i.e. it is equipped with two separate VHF receivers. One of these supplies the selected station (FM), the other searches continuously for other frequencies which are transmitting the same station, and for RDS stations which can be received (FMD). If the reception quality of the selected station deteriorates, but no alternative frequency can be found, the frequency last selected appears on the screen. Some radio stations transmit at very low power and therefore have only a limited range; furthermore, if they only operate on a single frequency, RDS and diversity will be unable to find a signal offering better-quality reception. The FMD memory level lists the stations offering the best reception on each waveband. A station can be selected from this list and memorised with a button of your choice (16), see page 54.<

If it does not find an alternative frequency, it reverts to the frequency on which the station was previously being received.<
Programme type (PTY)

You can also search for a station by programme type (PTY). Via RDS (Radio Data System), certain stations broadcast information that is flashed up briefly on the screen when their frequency is selected; this information tells you what type of programme is being received: news, sports, pop, culture, etc.
