r
> CDs/DVDs with compressed image data > CDs/DVDs with compressed audio data > CDs/DVDs with compressed video data The DVD player does not support DVD audio. However, many audio DVDs available in stores also contain a video track in the DVD Video for- mat in addition to the audio track. These DVDs can be played back by the DVD player. Refer to the information on your DVD to determine whether your audio DVD contains an additional video track. Depending on the authoring used, it is possible that not all functions are available during playback. Dual-sided DVDs available from retail suppliers are coated on both sides and bear no markings. This means both sides are information carriers. To play the information on the other side, turn over the DVD.

Digital Rights Management (DRM) In some cases, it may not be possible to play CDs/DVDs with integrated Digital Rights Man- agement (DRM).
General malfunctions The BMW CD/DVD player is optimized for oper- ation in the vehicle. It may react more sensi- tively to defective CDs/DVDs than devices intended for stationary use. If a CD/DVD cannot be played, first check whether it has been inserted correctly.
Make sure that no foreign objects or liq- uids get into the CD/DVD slot; otherwise,
the CD/DVD player will be damaged.<
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.
Copied or self-recorded CDs/DVDs Possible reasons for malfunctions with copied or self-recorded CDs/DVDs may include incon- sistent data-creation or recording processes, or poor quality or significant aging of the CD/DVD blank. Only label CDs/DVDs on the upper side with a pen intended for this purpose.
Damaged CDs/DVDs Avoid fingerprints, dust, scratches and mois- ture. Store CDs/DVDs in a sleeve. Do not subject CDs/DVDs to temperatures above 1227/506 or 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. As a result,

Communications Communications
This chapter summarizes how to operate your mobile phone using iDrive or voice command and how to use BMW Assist or BMW TeleService.
e
Telephone
The concept Your BMW is equipped with a full preparation package mobile phone. After pairing a suitable mobile phone with the vehicle once, you can operate the mobile phone using iDrive, the but- tons on the steering wheel, or voice com- mands*. 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. The pairing data of up to four mobile phones can be stored simultaneously. 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 Sports Activity Vehicle Center 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 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-
212
tracted can endanger vehicle occupants and other road users.<
Suitable mobile phones Please ask your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center which mobile phones with Bluetooth interface are supported by the mobile phone preparation package and which mobile phones are compatible with the snap-in adapter. By vir- tue of their particular software versions, these mobile phones support the functions described in this Owner's Manual. Malfunctions can occur with other mobile phones.
Operating options You can operate the mobile phone using: > Buttons on the steering wheel, refer to
page 10
> iDrive, refer to page 16
> Voice commands*, refer to page 219
> Programmable memory buttons, refer topage 20
Avoid operating a mobile phone detected by the vehicle with the keypad of the mobile phone, otherwise malfunctions can occur.
Commissioning
Pairing mobile phone in vehicle The following prerequisites must be met: > Compatible mobile phone: the mobile
phone is supported by the full mobile phone preparation package. Information on this subject is also provided on the Internet at: www.bmw.com/bluetooth
> The mobile phone is ready to operate. > Bluetooth has been activated in the vehicle, refer to page 214, and on the mobile phone.
> Depending on the mobile phone, certain settings may be necessary on the mobile phone, e.g. via the following menu items: > Bluetooth activated > Connection must be allowed without
requiring further 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 purposes, define any 4 to 16-
digit number as a Bluetooth passkey, e.g. 25081107. A long and complex number offers the best protection against unautho- rized access. This Bluetooth passkey is no longer required following successful pair- ing.
> The ignition is switched on.
Only pair the mobile phone with the vehi- cle stationary, otherwise the passengers and other road users can be endangered due to a lack of attentiveness on the part of the driver.<
Switching on ignition 1.
Insert the remote control as far as possible into the ignition lock.
2. Switch on ignition without operating the
brake or clutch or pressing the Start/Stop button.
Preparation via iDrive 3. "Telephone" 4. "Bluetooth (telephone)" 5. "Add new phone"
The Bluetooth name of the vehicle is dis- played.
Preparation with mobile phone 6. Further steps must be carried out with the mobile phone and vary depending on the model. Please refer to your mobile phone's operating instructions, e.g. under the topics of Searching for a Bluetooth device, Linking or Pairing. The Bluetooth name of the vehicle appears on the mobile phone display.
7. Select the Bluetooth name of the vehicle on
the mobile phone display.
Pairing Depending on your mobile phone, you will first be requested consecutively via the display of your mobile phone or iDrive to enter the Blue- tooth passkey you specified. 8. Enter the Bluetooth passkey.
Depending on the mobile phone, approx. 30 seconds are available for entering the Bluetooth passkey on the mobile phone and on the Control Display.
If pairing was successful, the mobile phone appears at the top of the list of mobile phones.
Following the initial pairing > The mobile phone is detected/connected in
the vehicle within a short period of time when the engine is running or the ignition is 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 transmitted to your vehicle. This transmis-
213
e
sion is dependent on your mobile phone, refer to the operating instructions of the mobile phone if necessary, and can take several minutes.
> Four mobile phones can be paired. > Specific settings may be necessary in some
mobile phones, e.g. authorization or a secure connection, refer to the mobile phone operating instructions.
If not all phone book entries are displayed: > Transfer all phone book entries from the
SIM card to the mobile phone if necessary.
> It may not be possible to display phone
book entries with special characters.
Checking if pairing is unsuccessful > Is the mobile phone supported by the
mobile phone preparation package? Infor- mation on this subject is also provided on the Internet at: www.bmw.com/bluetooth > Do the Bluetooth passkeys on the mobile phone and the vehicle match? The same Bluetooth passkey must be entered both on the mobile phone display and via iDrive.
> Have you required longer than 30 seconds
to enter the Bluetooth passkey? Then repeat the pairing procedure.
> Are too many Bluetooth devices connected to the mobile phone? If so, delete the con- nections with other devices on the mobile phone.
> The mobile phone no longer reacts? Switch the mobile phone off and then on again or disconnect the power supply. > Repeat the pairing procedure. > If all items on the list have been checked
and the mobile phone still cannot be paired, please contact Customer Relations.
Connecting a particular mobile phone If more than one mobile phone is detected by the vehicle, the mobile phone at the top of the list is connected. A different mobile phone can be connected by selecting it.

the list of received calls
> Ending a call When the ignition is switched off or in radio readiness, e.g. after taking the remote control out of the ignition switch, you can continue an ongoing call via the hands-free system for sev- eral minutes.
Speech quality If the person you are talking to is having difficul- ties understanding you, this may be due to excessive background noise. The full prepara- tion package mobile phone can compensate for these noises to a certain extent. To optimize the speech quality during a call, we recommend that you: > Reduce background noise, e.g. by closing
the windows, reducing air flow from the automatic climate control or pointing the open front air vents downward.
> Reduce the volume of the hands-free sys-
tem.

Changing between mobile phone and hands-free system
From mobile phone to hands-free system* You can continue calls begun outside the Blue- tooth range of the vehicle via the hands-free system when the engine is running or the igni- tion is switched on. Depending on your mobile phone, the system automatically switches over to the handsfree mode. For mobile phones that do not automatically switch over to the handsfree mode: Depending on the mobile phone model used, the conversation can be continued via the hands-free system if necessary. Refer to the display on your mobile phone and/or your mobile phone's operating instructions.
From hands-free system to mobile phone When you telephone via the hands-free system, you can also continue the call via the mobile phone if necessary, depending on the mobile phone model. Act according to what is shown on the mobile phone display, refer to the oper- ating instructions of your mobile phone. Alternatively, you can deactivate the Bluetooth link, refer to page 214. Depending on your mobile phone model, poor reception of the wireless communications net- work can result in the system changing from the hands-free system to the mobile phone.
