Notes
BMW CD/DVD players and changers are
officially designated Class 1 laser prod-
ucts. Never use them if the cover is damaged,
otherwise there is a risk of serious eye injuries.
Do not use CDs/DVDs with adhesive labels that
have been affixed subsequently, as these may
peel off while in the drive as a result of the tem-
peratures to which these media are exposed
during playing, and could damage the system
irreparably.
Use only round CDs/DVDs with a standard
diameter of 12 cm, approx. 5 in, and do not use
CDs/DVDs in conjunction with adapters, e.g.
CD singles, otherwise the CDs or the adapter
could jam and be impossible to eject.
Do not use combined CD/DVDs, e.g. DVD
Plus ,
otherwise the CD/DVD could jam and be impos-
sible to eject.

General malfunctions
BMW CD/DVD players and changers have been
optimised for operation in cars. In some
instances, they may be more sensitive to faulty
CDs/DVDs than stationary devices would be.
If a CD/DVD cannot be played, first check if it
has been properly inserted.
Humidity
A high level of humidity may cause the laser
beam focusing lens to fog over and temporarily
prevent the CD/DVD being played.
Malfunctions with individual CDs/DVDs
Should malfunctions occur only with individual
CDs/DVDs, one of the following factors may be
the cause.
Self-recorded CDs/DVDs
With self-recorded CDs/DVDs, possible causes
for output malfunctions are, e.g., an inconsist-
ent data-creation or burning process, or low
quality or high age of the CD/DVD blank.
Only write on the upper side of CDs/DVDs using
a special marker pen.
Damaged CDs/DVDs
Avoid causing fingerprints and protect against
dust, scratches and moisture.
Store CDs/DVDs in a case.
Do not expose CDs/DVDs to temperatures
above 50
6/1227, high levels of humidity or
direct sunlight.
CDs/DVDs with copy protection
CDs/DVDs are often copy-protected by the
manufacturer. This could result in CDs/DVDs
being impossible to play, or only playable with
restrictions.
General care
Whenever necessary, use a commercially avail-
able cleaning cloth to wipe the reflective signal
side of CDs/DVDs in straight motions from the
centre outwards.
