BMW navigation systems in the BMW X5.

Convenience plus speed: the optional Professional navigation system with GPS provides easy-to-follow directions, either as voice instruction or as arrows and/or a route map on the high-resolution 16:9 colour screen. The 8.8-inch screen, which also functions as a television, can be set to split-screen mode, so that the route map is displayed on one side and the arrow direction on the other. All destinations are stored on a DVD or CD-ROM.

Bluetooth interface in the BMW X5.

The optional Bluetooth interface provides a wireless connection between the vehicle and Bluetooth-compatible mobile phones. The phones are operated via the hands-free kit, multifunction steering wheel, iDrive Controller or Voice Control depending on the equipment options of the individual vehicle. Your local BMW dealer will be happy to inform you about which mobile phone devices (and software versions) are compatible with the optional Bluetooth interface.

Road networks are constantly changing: digital road maps for BMW navigation systems keep you informed of these changes and are available on CD or DVD twice a year. The integrated Falk travel guide* also provides you with a range of additional useful information, such as local sights and restaurants.
