Starting the navigation system
Your navigation system can determine the pre-
cise position of your car by means of satellites
and guide you reliably to any specified destina-
tion.

drive
Behind the left side trim in the luggage com-
partment.
You can use navigation CDs with a production
status of 2001-1 or later and navigation DVDs in
your navigation computer.
To be quite certain that your car's navigation
system has the latest road network information
at its disposal, always load it with the most
recent CD/DVD version of the digitised road
map.
Navigation CDs/DVDs, like conventional road
maps, are periodically updated on the basis of
observations and survey data.
Navigation CDs/DVDs can be obtained
from BMW Service.<
