owner's manual for the onboard computer with - club e38

Owner’s Manual for the onboard computer with navigation. Advanced technology.

The onboard computer offers you a great many functions which will make your journeys even safer and more of a pleasure.

The GPS navigation system means that you do not have to consult printed maps or search for directional road signs. The system guides you accurately to any destina-tion shown on the CD map.

The radio, cassette and CD provide outstanding reception quality and a variety of entertainment for every taste, thus making even long journeys seem short. The DSP sound system places you inside concert halls, jazz clubs or cathedrals - it repre-sents the ideal sound environment for every program.

The onboard computer calculates data which are important for vehicle travel - from the estimated time of arrival to the average fuel consumption and the cruising range with the available amount of fuel. It provides additional safety during driving - for example, by means of an acoustic warning tone so that you will not drive faster than you wish to.

The cellular phone allows others to reach you and provides you with the capability of establishing important contacts at all times.

The independent ventilation system with programming capability ensures that a vehicle with a comfortable temperature will always await you.

The input of a personalized code rounds out the anti-theft protection of your vehicle.

We wish you an enjoyable driving experience.

Dolby DSP GPS

Dolby B or C is a system for noise sup-pression in replaying cassettes.

During recording, high frequencies are amplified. These frequencies are sup-pressed during replay. Since back-ground noise consists essentially of high frequencies which occur generally during playback, the noise is reduced as a result.

Dolby and the symbol are regis-tered trademarks of the Dolby Labora-tories Licensing Corporation.

Use only cassettes which have been recorded with Dolby. Sound

quality with other cassettes will be "flat"

Digital Sound Processing

With its unusually true-to-life and pre-cise sound reproduction, DSP is a sound system which provides an out-standing listening experience. The sat-ellite system with subwoofers and spherical caps for the medium, me-dium-high and high tones ensures dif-ferentiated and three-dimensional sound reproduction. The 6-band equal-izer is available to you for individual control of frequency responses. It can provide you with the acoustical effect of three different spatial areas. These are the Concert Hall, Jazz Club and Cathe-dral. In addition, you have the possibil-

To be quite certain that your car's navi-gation system has the latest highway network information at its disposal, al-ways load it with the most recent CD version of the digitized road map. A map CD, just as a conventional road map, is updated from time to time based on revised information and sur-veys. Your BMW center will be happy to inform you when new versions appear, or contact Navigation Technologies at (888) NAV-MAPS.

Receiving RDS stationsRDS (Radio Broadcast Data System) a broadcasting and receiving systemthe FM frequency range.

If a station which broadcasts RDS infmation is received, the station name appears in the display following an evaluation of the RDS signals.

You can receive other information suas the program type (PTY) via RDS.

However, the reception of RDS data only possible under favorable recep-tion conditions. If reception is weak othere is interference, it may be sometime before a station name and PTY aonce again available.

58nWordmatch principle

Your car's navigation system has this facility in order to make the entry of names easier. It compares your desti-nation entries continuously with the data stored on the map CD, and reacts even if slight discrepancies are de-tected. This has three definite advan-tages for you:

1 When entering data that consists of more than one word, the system identifies each item separately, re-gardless of the sequence in which the items are entered.

Example:

Official version:

2 When entering place-names or streets, the system completes the name automatically as soon as an in-put point is reached at which no fur-ther confusion is possible.

Example:

If you want to drive to San Vicente Blvd N in Beverly Hills, the system identifies the street name as soon asyou enter "V" and provides the re-maining letters.

3 The system only accepts name en-tries beginning with letters that are stored on the CD map. This makes itimpossible for an incorrect name or
