Mobile communications systems
(cellular phone, radio, etc.) are only
allowed a power output of up to
10 watts. Mobile communications
devices not specifically designed for
use in your vehicle may trigger malfunc-
tions while operating your vehicle.
BMW can neither test nor assume
responsibility for every individual
product being offered on the market.
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 compartment or
an antenna that is not mounted on the
outside of the vehicle.

Before loading the vehicle on a
car-carrier train or driving it

through a car-wash, remove the
antenna.

The reception and sound quality
obtained from mobile radios varies
according to a variety of factors,
including the broadcast range of the
transmitter and the directional orienta-
tion of the antenna.

Interference factors such as high-
tension power lines, buildings and
natural obstructions can all lead to
unavoidable reception interference,
regardless of how well the vehicle's
sound system is operating.
Climatic factors such as intense solar
radiation, fog, rain and snow can also
interfere with reception.

Car telephones or cellular phones not
approved by BMW can also cause
interference in the radio during a tele-
phone call. This phenomenon assumes
the form of a low-pitched hum
emanating from the speaker system.

Please refer to the Owner's Manual
provided with your sound system for
detailed information on its use.
