BMW X5: Navigation Systems
NOTES ON HANDLING NAVIGATION COMPUTERS
All model series:
CAUTION: Risk of damage! The navigation computer must not be disconnected from the power supply while the LED on the computer remains lit (the LED goes out after approx.
1 minute).
NOTE: To ensure full operation of all the communications components, it is necessary in new cars to insert a Road Map CD in the navigation computer.
This is absolutely essential as certain functions are disabled for distribution channels.
These functions will only be available again after a Road Map CD has been inserted. The mode preset at the factory is automatically reset when this CD is inserted.
Software installation:
The navigation software must be loaded with terminal 15 activated and the navigation system ready for operation.
Make sure there is a stable power supply. If necessary, connect a battery charger to the vehicle.
The charging operation must not be interrupted (terminal 15 remains activated).
