Steering Wheel Controls
With this system, you can place and receive calls without removing your hands from
the steering wheel. The ability to make hands-free calls relieves you of the necessity
of holding the handset. In addition, the system features a “radio mute” device that
automatically silences your BMW’s audio system when you place or receive calls.
The phone operation buttons are on the left side of your steering wheel as you are
seated in the vehicle.
Note: Depending on the model of your BMW, your steering wheel will have one of the
following button locations.
Note: All buttons on the left side of the steering wheel (except the R/T and call control
buttons) change function depending on whether you are in radio or telephone mode.
[See text in brackets for Radio functions.]
