aerial for satellite reception), or
•Telephone and GPS aerial (telephone aerial 1, telephone aerial 2 and GPS aerial)
- The GPS aerial picks up GPS signals. In the event of an accident, the GPS signals are used to compute the
location of the vehicle if no navigation system installed.

System functions
Telematic services
- Manual emergency call with location data
A manual emergency call is triggered by pressing the emergency call button in the middle of the front
headlining.
- Automatic emergency call with location data (after accident)
If an accident exceeding a certain severity occurs, the SGM (Safety and Gateway Module) transmits a crash
message via a serial interface to the TCU (Telematic Control Unit). The TCU automatically transmits an
emergency call.
Each time an emergency call is transmitted, the emergency number of the service provider is dialled. During
this time, an LED lights up in the emergency call button. When the emergency call has been accepted and a
voice connection is established, the LED in the emergency call button flashes. The transmitted data from the
TCU (coordinates of location, time and direction of travel, if the vehicle is in motion) are transmitted to the
service provider.
If no connection has been made to the service provider after approx. 2 minutes, the country-specific
emergency number is automatically dialled.
The following functions can be executed with option 639 "Complete basic fittings USA/CDN" and optional
accessory 639 (Retrofit Motorola Phoenix V60i mobile phone and eject box):
- Hands-free mode
- Short Message Service (SMS) text message (receive)
- Short Message Service (SMS) text message (write and send from mobile phone)
- Voice recognition system

The automatic service request is made when the service interval indicator changes from green to yellow.
A manual service request can be made at any time on the CID (Central Information Display). The service

The following vehicle data are transmitted to the service provider by SMS text message:
- Vehicle identification number

Hands-free mode
In some countries, it is against the law for the driver to use a mobile phone while he is driving. It is however
permissible to make a call in hands-free mode.
When a call is accepted using the transmit/receive button on the MFL (multi-function steering wheel), the
telephone switches to hands-free mode. The call is then conducted with full duplex transmission (simultaneous
speaking and hearing) via the hands-free microphone and the loudspeakers in the vehicle.
Short Message Service (SMS) text message
An incoming text message is displayed in the mobile phone display and in the Central Information Display
(CID).
Note: Sending text messages
A text message can only be written and sent from the mobile phone.

commands. The following voice command inputs are possible when the mobile phone is installed:
•Switch telephone on
•Call up and dial name from telephone directory

Activating telematic services
Telematic services must be activated by the BMW dealer before the vehicle is handed over to the customer. The
customer must sign a contract that the BMW dealer forwards to the service provider. The BMW dealer encodes the
TCU (Telematic Control Unit) in the vehicle and initialises the telematic services. Voice services (Customer
Relations) and data services (Service Request) are free of charge to the customer for one year. The contract may
be extended after this period has expired.
