Satellite Radio

With the introduction of the E70/E71 M to the US market in September of 2009, the hardware for the satellite tuner is integrated in the CIC. This newest version of CIC is as of now also installed in series production E7X vehicles. The satellite tuner in this CIC is refered to as In-Box SDARS and it allows the customer to activate the function with a valid enable code.

A new icon bar for the SDARS system provides additional functions:

• List view (select artists, title or channel)
• Categories of different genres
• Direct tuning of individual channels (e.g. Channel 6)
• Time shift (current program is buffered)
• Favorites storage
• Traffic jump (traffic information for a preferred region)
