Operation via iDrive

Dialing phone numbers from the phone
book

Dialing stored phone numbers, e.g. from the

Ending a call

When the ignition and radio readiness are
switched off, e.g. after removing the remote
control from the ignition lock, you can continue
an ongoing call via the hands-free system for no
more than 25 minutes.

Speech quality

If the person you are talking to cannot under-
stand you well, this may be due to excessively
loud background noises. The full mobile phone
preparation package can compensate for these
noises to a certain degree. To optimize the
speech quality during a call, we recommend
that you:

Reduce background noises, e.g. by closing
the windows, reducing the air volume of the
automatic climate control or pointing the
opened front vent outlets downward

Reduce volume of hands-free system
