Mobile communications devices in
vehicle
BMW does not recommend using mobile
communications devices, e.g. mobile
communications devices, e.g. mobile
phones, inside the vehicle without a direct con-
nection to an outside antenna. Otherwise, the
vehicle electronics and mobile communications
device can affect each other. In addition, there
is no assurance that the radiation which results
during transmission will be discharged from the
vehicle interior.
