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 buildup 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, as other- wise the CD/DVD or the adapter can jam and may no longer eject properly. 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 whether 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 occur only with particular CDs/ DVDs, this can be due to one of the following causes.
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 upper side with a pen intended for this purpose.

Communications Communications
This chapter summarizes how to operate your mobile phone using iDrive or voice control and how to use BMW Assist or TeleService.
i
Telephoning
The concept Your BMW is equipped with a full mobile phone preparation package. After pairing a suitable mobile phone in the vehicle once, you can oper- ate the mobile phone via iDrive, with the buttons on the steering wheel and by voice. A mobile phone that has been paired once is automatically detected again with the engine running or the ignition switched on as soon as it is in the vehicle interior. The logon data of up to four mobile phones can be stored simulta- neously. If several mobile phones are detected simultaneously, the respective last mobile phone paired can be operated via the vehicle.
Using a phone in your vehicle
Using snap-in adapter* The so-called snap-in adapter, a mobile phone cradle, enables the battery to be charged and the mobile phone to be connected to the exter- nal antenna of your vehicle. This ensures improved network reception and a consistent voice reproduction quality. Ask your BMW cen- ter which mobile phones snap-in adapters are offered for.
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 operating instructions for a detailed description of safety precautions and information, we request that you direct your particular attention to the following:
Only make entries when traffic conditions allow 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 distracted can endanger vehicle occupants and other road users.<
194
Suitable mobile phones Ask your BMW center which mobile phones with a Bluetooth interface are supported by the mobile phone preparation package or which mobile phones snap-in adapters are available for. These mobile phones support the functions described in this Owner's Manual with a certain software version. Malfunctions can 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 operating instructions.
Operating options You can operate the mobile phone* using: > Buttons on steering wheel, refer to page 11
> iDrive, refer to page 16
> Voice commands, refer to page 205
> Programmable memory/direct selectionbuttons, refer to page 21
Avoid operating a mobile phone detected by the vehicle with the keypad of the mobile phone, otherwise malfunctions can occur.
Placing phone calls with 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 connection is being established to BMW Assist or while a call to BMW Assist is already in progress. If this happens, you must log off the
mobile phone from the vehicle if you wish to place a call with the mobile phone.
Commissioning
Pairing mobile phone in vehicle The following prerequisites must be met: > Suitable mobile phone: the mobile phone is supported by the full mobile phone prepara- tion package. Information on this subject is also provided on the Internet at: www.bmw.com
> The mobile phone is ready to operate. > The Bluetooth link on the vehicle, refer to
page 199, and on the mobile phone is active.
> Depending on the mobile phone, the mobile phone may need presetting: e.g. via the fol- lowing menu items: > Bluetooth activated > Connection not with confirmation > Reconnect
> Depending on the mobile phone model, the setting energy saving mode can, for exam- ple, result in vehicle failing to detect the paired mobile phone.
> For pairing, specify any desired number as
the Bluetooth passkey, e.g. 1. This Blue- tooth passkey is no longer required follow- ing successful pairing.
> The ignition is switched on.
Only pair the mobile phone with the vehi- cle stopped, otherwise the passengers
and other road users can be endangered due to a lack of attentiveness on the part of the driver.<
