Damaged CDs/DVDs Avoid fingerprints, dust, scratches and mois- ture. Store CDs/DVDs in a sleeve. Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures over 1227/506, high levels of humidity or direct sunlight.
CDs/DVDs with copy protection CDs/DVDs are often provided with a copy pro- tection feature by the manufacturer. This can mean that some CDs/DVDs cannot be played or can only be played to a limited extent.
Care If necessary, clean the reflective scanning side of the CDs/DVDs with a commercially available cleaning cloth by wiping in straight lines from the center outward.
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. Single-CDs, other- wise the CDs or the adapter can jam and may no longer be ejected. 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 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 logging on a suitable mobile phone on the vehicle once, you can operate the mobile phone via iDrive, with the buttons on the steering wheel and by voice. A mobile phone that has been logged on 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 logged on can be operated via the vehi- cle.
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 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 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.
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, the vehicle electronics and mobile communication device can influence one another. In addition, there is no assurance that the radiation which results from transmission will be dissipated from the vehicle interior.< Avoid operating a mobile phone detected by the vehicle with the keypad of the mobile phone, otherwise malfunctions can occur.
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: > The steering wheel, refer to page 11
> iDrive, refer to page 16
> Voice commands, refer to page 183174
Making calls with car phone: BMW Assist calls You can use the car phone via the hands-free system for BMW Assist calls. When the status information "Communication" or "BMW Assist" is displayed in "BMW Ser- vice", 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 log off the mobile phone from the vehicle if you wish to place a call with the mobile phone.
Commissioning
Logging on mobile phone on vehicle The following prerequisites must be met: > The mobile phone is ready to operate. > The Bluetooth link on the vehicle, refer to
page 177, and on the mobile phone is active.
> Depending on the mobile phone, preset- tings on the mobile phone are necessary: e.g. via the menu item Bluetooth activated or the menu item Connection not with con- firmation.
> For logging on, specify any desired number as the Bluetooth passkey, e.g. 1. This Blue- tooth passkey is no longer required follow- ing successful logon.
> The ignition is switched on.
Only log on the mobile phone with the vehicle stopped, otherwise the passen- gers and other road user can be endangered due to a lack of attentiveness on the part of the driver.<

The next time you use the mobile phone in the vehicle interior, it will be detected within a max- imum of 2 minutes with the engine running or the ignition switched on. As soon as a mobile phone is detected by the vehicle, the phone book entries stored on the SIM card or on your mobile phone are trans- ferred to your vehicle, refer to the operating instructions of your mobile phone if necessary. This transfer is dependent on your mobile phone, refer to the operating instructions of your mobile phone if necessary, and can take several minutes. Up to four mobile phones can be logged on consecutively. If you log on a fifth mobile phone, the logon data of the last mobile phone in the list will be deleted, refer to below.
