your vehicle, for example on account of the spe‐  
cial equipment selected or the country specifica‐  
tion. This also applies to safety-relevant func‐  
tions and systems. Please comply with the  
relevant laws and regulations when using the  
corresponding functions and systems.  
Principle  
Depending on use, the vehicle stores personal  
data such as saved radio stations. This personal  
data can be permanently deleted using iDrive.  
General  
Depending on the equipment in your vehicle, the  
following data can be deleted:  
▷ Driver profile settings.  
▷ Saved radio stations.  
Data protection  
▷ Saved functional bookmarks.  
▷ Trip and on-board computer values.  
▷ Music hard disc.  
Data transfer  
▷ Navigation, for example saved destinations.  
▷ Phone book.  
Principle  
The vehicle offers various functions whose use  
requires data to be transferred to BMW or a serv‐  
ice provider. The transfer of data can be deacti‐  
vated for some functions.  
▷ Online data, for example Favourites, cookies.  
▷ Office data, for example voice memos.  
▷ Login accounts.  
It may take up to 15 minutes in total to delete  
data.  
General  
If data transfer has been deactivated for a func‐  
tion, then that function cannot be used.  
Operating requirements  
Data can only be deleted with the vehicle at a  
standstill.  
Only perform settings with the vehicle at a stand‐  
still.

Operating requirements  
To ensure that the correct driver profile is ap‐  
plied, the system must be able to match the de‐  
tected vehicle key unambiguously to the driver.  
7. Exit and lock the vehicle.  
It takes 15 minutes to complete the deletion  
process.  
This is ensured if the following conditions are  
met:  
If not all data is deleted, repeat the deletion proc‐  
ess if required.  
▷ The driver is only carrying their own vehicle  
key.  
Cancelling deletion  
Switch-on drive-ready state to cancel data dele‐  
tion.  
▷ The driver unlocks the vehicle.  
▷ The driver enters the vehicle through the  
driver's door.  
Driver profiles  
Current driver profile  
The name of the current driver profile is dis‐  
played when the control display is switched on.  
Principle  
Individual settings for several drivers can be  
saved in the driver profiles and called up again as  
required.  
Select a driver profile, see page 57.  
As soon as the engine is started or any button  
pressed, the display selected last is shown on  
the Control Display.  
General  
To cancel the welcome screen via iDrive:

Three driver profiles are provided, in which per‐  
sonal vehicle settings can be saved. Each vehicle  
key is assigned one of these driver profiles.  
Settings  
When the vehicle is unlocked with a vehicle key,  
the assigned driver profile is activated. All the  
settings saved in the driver profile are applied au‐  
tomatically.  
Settings for the following systems and functions  
are saved to the current driver profile. Which set‐  
tings can be saved depends on the country and  
equipment.  
If several drivers each use their own vehicle key,  
the vehicle will adapt to their personal settings  
when it is unlocked. These settings are also re‐  
stored if the vehicle is used in the intervening pe‐  
riod by someone with a different vehicle key.  
▷ Unlocking and locking.  
▷ Lights.  
▷ Air conditioning.  
▷ Radio.  
Any changes made to settings are automatically  
saved to the current driver profile.  
▷ Instrument cluster.  
▷ Functional bookmarks.  
▷ Volumes, sound.  
▷ Control display.  
If a different driver profile is selected via iDrive,  
the settings saved there are automatically ap‐  
plied. The new driver profile is assigned to the  
vehicle key currently in use.  
▷ Park Distance Control PDC.  
▷ Rear-view camera.  
▷ Head-Up Display.  
▷ Driving Experience Control.  
A guest profile is also available which is not as‐

Frequently Asked Questions  
For the mobile device to work correctly, the pre‐  
conditions have to be met and all the necessary  
steps have to be carried out in the correct order.  
Even when this is done, however, there may still  
be instances where the mobile device does not  
function as expected.  
▷ Under certain circumstances only the phone  
book entries saved in the mobile telephone or  
on the SIM card are transferred.  
▷ It may not be possible to display phone book  
entries containing special characters.  
▷ It may not be possible to transfer contacts  
from social networks.  
In such cases, the following explanations may  
provide assistance:  
▷ The number of phone book entries to be  
saved is too high.  
Why could the mobile telephone not be paired or  
connected?  
▷ The data volume of the contact is too large,  
for example due to saved information such as  
memos.  
▷ Too many Bluetooth devices are paired to  
the mobile telephone or the vehicle.

Connections  
OVERVIEW  
Reduce the data volume of the contact.  
▷ Playback of video films via USB video.  
▷ Installing of software updates, see page 66.  
When connecting, bear the following in mind:  
▷ A mobile telephone can only be connected as  
an audio source or as a telephone.  
Configure the mobile telephone and connect  
it with the telephone or additional telephone  
function.  
▷ Do not use force when inserting the connec‐  
tor into the USB port.  
▷ Use a flexible adapter cable.  
How can the telephone connection quality be  
improved?  
▷ Protect the USB device from mechanical  
damage.  
▷ Adjust the strength of the Bluetooth signal on  
the mobile telephone; the procedure varies  
from mobile telephone to mobile telephone.  
▷ Due to the large variety of USB devices avail‐  
able on the market, operation via the vehicle  
cannot be ensured for every device.  
▷ Insert the mobile telephone in the wireless  
charging dock.  
▷ Do not expose the USB devices to extreme  
environmental conditions, for example very  
high temperatures; see the operating instruc‐  
tions of the device.  
▷ Adjust the volume of the microphone and  
loudspeakers separately in the sound set‐  
tings.  
▷ Due to the large variety of different compres‐  
sion techniques, correct playback of the me‐  
dia stored on the USB device cannot be  
guaranteed in every case.  
If all the points on the list have been reviewed  
and the desired function cannot be performed,  
contact the Hotline, a Service Partner of the  
manufacturer or another qualified Service Partner  
or a specialist workshop.  
▷ To ensure correct transmission of the stored  
data, do not charge a USB device from the  
12 V power socket in the vehicle when the  
device is also connected to the USB port.

tions and systems. Please comply with the  
relevant laws and regulations when using the  
corresponding functions and systems.
