Navigation systems for
the BMW 5 Series Touring.
The whole of Europe on a single DVD. The optional navigation system Professional (incl. iDrive, radio Professional with CD and DVD drive, Voice Control and a hard drive for maps and audio files for example) takes you where you want to go. Maps and directions are displayed on the high-resolution 6.5-inch screen either in 3D or using the split-screen mode. The optional navigation system Business (incl. iDrive, radio Professional with CD and DVD drive and Voice Control) displays arrows and maps to direct you to your destination.
Mobile phone preparation with Bluetooth interface
in the BMW 5 Series Touring.
The cordless Bluetooth mobile phone means you can do away with the cumbersome cable between your mobile handset and the hands-free equipment. Bluetooth-compatible mobile phones register with the on-board computer via the optional interface as soon as the driver approaches the vehicle. Telephone numbers, addresses and call lists are then automatically synchronised with the on-board computer. During the journey, the mobile phone can be operated using the multifunction steering wheel or the hands-free equipment. There is a snap-in-adapter available for the Apple iPhone. Your local BMW Centre will be happy to inform you of the mobile phones with which the Bluetooth interface is compatible.
USB audio interface in the BMW 5 Series Touring.
The universal connection point: the optional USB audio interface lets you connect practically any audio device into the BMW 5 Series Touring's sound system. Standard MP3 players connect via the USB port. The auxiliary input (AUX IN) socket lets you connect devices via a cable from their headphone socket - from DAT recorders to MiniDisc players.
