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 4.7 in/12 cm and do not play CDs/ DVDs with an adapter, e.g. CD singles; other- wise, the CDs or the adapter might jam and 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.
1. Push the cover to one side, arrow 1. 2. Press the button, arrow 2.
The CD magazine is ejected.
Push the magazine back in after at least 2 seconds have passed so that the inserted CDs can be read in again.
Inserting/removing CDs from the CD magazine
When loading CDs into or removing them from the CD magazine, hold them at their edges and do not touch the reflective signal-sensing area. Inserting CDs: Insert one CD per compartment with the labeled side up. Removing CDs: Pull out the desired compartment and take out the CD.

Overview
The concept Mobile phones or other external devices, e.g. audio players, can be connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth. Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Blue- tooth® SIG, Inc. After being paired once, when the ignition is switched on, these devices are automatically detected as soon as they are present in the vehicle and can be controlled via iDrive, by the buttons on the steering wheel, and by voice. Depending on whether they are functioning as a telephone and/or as an audio source, external devices can be used via the vehicle. The tele- phone functions will be described below. Oper- ation of audio functions, refer to page 197. Up to four external devices can be paired. It may be necessary for some functions to be activated by the mobile phone provider or ser- vice provider.
Only make entries when traffic conditions permit. Do not hold the mobile phone in your hand while you are driving; use the hands- free system instead. Otherwise, you may endanger vehicle occupants and other road users.<
204
Snap-in adapter The snap-in adapter makes it possible: > Accommodate the mobile phone. > Recharge its battery. > Connect it to an external antenna of the
vehicle. This assures a better network connection and constant sound quality.
Suitable mobile phones For precise information about which mobile phones and external devices with a Bluetooth interface are supported by the mobile phone preparation, go to www.bmwusa.com/ bluetooth.
Displaying vehicle identification number and software part number Checking which mobile phones are supported by the mobile phone preparation requires the vehicle identification number and software part number. The software version of the mobile phone may also be required. 1. "Telephone" 2. Open "Options". 3. "Bluetooth® info" 4. "Display system information" With a certain software version, these suitable mobile phones support the vehicle functions described below. With other mobile phones or software versions, malfunctions may occur. A mobile phone that is connected to the vehicle should not be operated via the mobile phone keypad; otherwise, malfunctions may occur. It is possible to perform a software update, refer to page 201.
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 609 333 - © 08/11 BMW AG Notes At high temperatures, the charging function of the mobile phone may be limited and some functions may no longer be carried out. When using the mobile phone via the vehicle, follow the operating instructions of the mobile phone.
