Information and Communication Technology
Several changes have been made to the iDrive in connection with
the launch of the E93 Convertible as from 03/07. In addition to the
visual changes to the user interface in the form of different fonts
and colors the operating philosophy of the Setup menu has been
correspondingly adapted. Eight “favorites” buttons have been
included for convenience in operation.
Corresponding software adaptations have also been implemented.
Some of the new features are dependent on the optional equip-
ment configuration, e.g. menu for light settings.
Changes in the Setup Menu
The individual user settings can be selected in the Setup menu.
As on the other models with CCC as from 09/2006, an additional
menu bar has been included in the Setup menu.
The following menu items can be selected in the menu bar:
• Screen OFF
• Information sources
• Settings
Further settings are linked to each menu item. The available menu
items depend on the equipment configuration. A new pairing
assistant for linking the Bluetooth
®
telephone to the vehicle is pro-
vided under the Bluetooth
®
menu item.
Favorites Button for CCC / MASK
Eight additional favorites button have been added to the two
options navigation system Business with MASK and navigation
system Professional CCC.
The following functions can be stored under the favorites buttons
for quick access:
• Radio stations
• Navigation destinations
• Stored telephone numbers/names
• CD/DVD player
• CD changer
• MP3
Note: The freely selectable favorites buttons in the
multifunction steering wheel are assigned as before.
The eight favorite buttons are accommodated in the front panel
under the upper CD/DVD player. The buttons can be assigned
with functions from the entertainment, telephone and navigation
menus.
Six buttons are freely programmable for CCC and two buttons are
assigned to FM/AM and MODE.
In addition to the pressure sensor element, the buttons contain a
capacitive sensor that shows the assignment status of the button
when touched in the info bar of the central information display.
A button is simply pressed for longer than 2 seconds to assign a
function to it.
