We recommend that you consult your
BMW center before purchasing any
device of this kind.
To ensure that your BMW continues to
provide reliable and trouble-free opera-
tion, do not use a cellular phone or
other radio device with an antenna
located inside the passenger compart-
ment. The antenna should always be
mounted on the outside of the vehicle.
Cellular phones without formal BMW
approval can also generate interfer-
ence. This phenomenon assumes the
form of a low-pitched hum emanating
from the speaker system.
Please refer to the supplementary
Owner's Manual provided with your
sound system for detailed information
on its use.
Before loading the vehicle on
a car-carrier train or driving it
through a car-wash, remove the
antenna.<
