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 inch/12 cm and do not play CDs/DVDs with an adapter, e.g. CD singles, as otherwise the CDs or the adapter may jam and no longer eject properly. Do not use a combined CD/DVD, e.g. DVDPlus, otherwise the CD/DVD may jam and no longer eject properly.<
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 old age of the CD/DVD blank. Only label CDs/DVDs on the upper side with a pen intended for this purpose.
Damage Avoid fingerprints, dust, scratches and mois- ture. Store CDs/DVDs in a sleeve. Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures above 1227/506, nor to high humidity levels 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.

> Connection via snap-in adapter*, refer to page 212, when equipped with expanded connection of the music player in the mobile
phone: Apple iPhone/mobile phones. Play- back is possible only if no audio device/ mobile phone is connected to the USB audio interface.
Due to the vast array of audio devices/mobile phones on the market, it is not possible to assure that every audio device/mobile phone can be operated via the vehicle. Ask your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center, which audio devices/mobile phones are com- patible.
Audio files Standard audio formats, e.g. MP3, WMA, WAV (PCM) and AAC, and playlists in the M3U format can be played.
Connecting via USB audio interface Open the lid of the center armrest.

TRS connector 1/8"/3.5 mm
2 USB interface
Apple iPod/iPhone Use the special cable adapter for Apple iPods/ iPhones, which you can obtain from your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center. The cable adapter is required for a proper connection. Connect the Apple iPod/iPhone to the AUX-IN connection 1 and USB interface 2 using the cable adapter for the Apple iPod/iPhone. The menu structure of the Apple iPod/iPhone is supported by the USB audio interface.
USB device
When connecting the device use a flexi- ble adapter cable, to protect the USB
interface and your USB device against physical damage.< Connect the USB device to connector 2, using a flexible adapter cable.
