Telephoning Telephoning* The concept Your BMW is equipped with a full mobile phone preparation package. After a suitable mobile phone has been paired in 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 paired once is automatically detected again as soon as it is brought back inside the vehicle, provided that the engine is running 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 most recently paired mobile phone can be operated via the vehicle. For your safety A car phone makes life more convenient in many ways, and can even save lives in an emergency. 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 situation 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 distracted 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 external antenna of your vehicle. This ensures improved network reception and a consistent voice reproduction quality. Ask your BMW center which mobile phones will fit in the snap-in adapters they offer. BMW discourages the use of mobile phones or other mobile communications devices inside the vehicle without a direct connection to an outside antenna. Otherwise, the vehicle electronics and mobile communication device can interfere with each other. In addition, there is no assurance that the radiation that results from transmission will be dissipated from the vehicle interior.< 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 will fit in the snap-in adapters they offer. These mobile phones support the functions described in this Owner's Manual, provided they are running a certain software version. Malfunctions can occur with other mobile phones. Care instructions You can find what you need to know about caring for your mobile phone in the separate Caring for your vehicle brochure and in the mobile phone operating instructions. 174 Online Edition for Part no. 01 41 0 013 312 - © 02/07 BMW AG
