Multi-Information Display (Mid): Notes

The X5 utilizes the E39 MID for control and display of the radio/tape/CD changer and clock. The MID itself, does not perform any calculations, it is only an input/display device.

If installed, the Digital Sound Processor (DSP) will also be adjusted and controlled through the MID.

Additionally, with the high version cluster, the MID will also be used as the control and display for the Board computer and telephone.

The MID contains two sets of displays

MAIN DISPLAY  - A 32 character display for presentation of primary information.

MENU DISPLAY  - 6 small display blocks above each button switch for labeling the switch functions.
