Notes
BMW CD/DVD players and changers are officially designated Class 1 laser prod- ucts. Do not operate if the cover is damaged, otherwise severe eye damage can result. Do not use self-recorded CDs/DVDs with labels applied as these can become detached during playback due to heat build-up and can cause
irreparable damage to the device. Only use round CDs/DVDs with a standard diameter of 12 cm and do not play CDs/DVDs with an adapter, e.g. Single-CDs, otherwise the CDs or the adapter can jam and will no longer eject. Do not use a combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVDPlus, otherwise the CD/DVD can jam and will no longer eject.<
General malfunctions BMW CD/DVD changers and players have been optimized for performance in vehicles. In some instances they may be more sensitive to faulty CDs/DVDs than stationary devices would be. If a CD/DVD cannot be played, first check if it has been inserted correctly.
Humidity High levels of humidity can lead to condensa- tion on the CD/DVD or the laser's scan lens and temporarily prevent playback.
Malfunctions with individual CDs/DVDs If malfunctions only occur with individual CDs/ DVDs, one of the following factors may be the cause.
Self-recorded CDs/DVDs Possible reasons for malfunctions with self- recorded CDs/DVDs are, e.g., inconsistent data-creation or recording processes, or poor quality or high age of the CD/DVD blank. Only label CDs/DVDs on the top, with a pen designed for this purpose.
Damaged CDs/DVDs Avoid leaving fingerprints, as well as dust, scratches or moisture on the CDs/DVDs. Keep CDs/DVDs in protective sleeves or cases. Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures over 1207/506, high levels of humidity or direct sunlight.
CDs/DVDs with copy protection CDs/DVDs are often copy-protected by the manufacturer. This can mean that some CDs/
171
DVDs cannot be played or can only be played to a limited extent.
Care Clean the reflective signal side of CDs/DVDs as needed by wiping it with a commercially avail- able cleaning tissue in straight lines from the center of the disc outwards. For more informa- tion on taking care of CDs/DVDs please refer to the Caring for your vehicle brochure.

Communications Communications
This chapter describes how to use the telephone, BMW Assist and TeleService.
i
Telephoning
The concept Your BMW is equipped with a full mobile phone preparation package. After pairing a suitable mobile phone with the vehicle once, you can operate the mobile phone via iDrive, the buttons on the steering wheel or via voice commands. Once a mobile phone has been paired with your vehicle, it is automatically recognized as soon as it is inside the vehicle while the engine is run- ning or the ignition is switched on. You can store the pairing data for up to four mobile phones simultaneously. If several mobile phones are detected at the same time, the mobile phone last paired can be operated via the vehicle.
For your safety A car phone makes life more convenient in many ways, and can even save lives in an emer- gency. While you should consult your mobile phone's separate Owner's Manual for a detailed description of safety precautions and informa- tion, we request that you direct your particular attention to the following:
Only make entries when the traffic situa- tion allows you to do so. Do not hold the mobile phone in your hand while you are driving; use the hands-free system instead. If you do not observe this precaution, your being dis- tracted can endanger vehicle occupants and other road users.<
Using the telephone inside the vehicle
Using the snap-in adapter* The so-called snap-in adapter, a holder for mobile phones, allows you to charge the mobile phone's battery and connect the mobile phone to your vehicle's outside antenna. This ensures better network reception and consistent repro- duction quality. Please contact your BMW center to find out for which mobile phones there are snap-in adapters available.
BMW discourages the use of mobile phones or other mobile communications devices inside the vehicle without a direct con- nection to an outside antenna. Otherwise, inter- ference between vehicle electronics systems and the mobile communications device cannot be ruled out. In addition, there is no assurance that the radiation which results from transmis- sion will be dissipated from the vehicle inte- rior.< Avoid operating a mobile phone recognized by the vehicle via the mobile phone's keypad, oth- erwise malfunctions may result.
Suitable mobile phones Please ask your BMW center which mobile phones with Bluetooth interface are supported by the mobile phone preparation package and/ or which mobile phones are compatible with the snap-in adapter. By virtue of their particular software versions, these mobile phones sup- port the functions described in this Owner's Manual. Malfunctions may occur with other mobile phones.
Care instructions You can find what you need to know about car- ing for your mobile phone in the separate Caring for your vehicle brochure and in the mobile phone Owner's Manual.
Operating options You can operate the mobile phone* using: > The steering wheel, refer to page 10
> iDrive, refer to page 181
> Voice commands, refer to page 185176
Making phone calls with the BMW Assist system*: BMW Assist calls You can use the BMW Assist System via the hands-free unit for BMW Assist calls. When the status information "BMW Assist" or "BMW Service" is displayed in "Communica- tion", only BMW Assist calls are possible. It may not be possible to establish a telephone connection using the mobile phone while a con- nection is being established to BMW Assist or while a call to BMW Assist is already in progress. If this happens, you must unpair the mobile phone and the vehicle if you wish to place a call with the mobile phone.
Start-up
Pairing the mobile phone with the vehicle The following prerequisites must be met: > The mobile phone is ready to operate > The Bluetooth link in the vehicle, refer to
page 180, and in the mobile phone are acti- vated
> Depending on the mobile phone, some
default settings may be necessary for the mobile phone: e.g. via the menu item Blue- tooth switched on or the menu item Con- nection without confirmation.
> For pairing purposes, define any number as
the Bluetooth passkey, e.g. 1. This Blue- tooth passkey is no longer required after pairing has been successful. > The ignition is switched on.
Pair the mobile phone with the vehicle only when the car is stationary, to avoid
endangering the car's occupants and other road users by being distracted.<
