CON: Controller
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5, 2012 BMW X5, and 2011 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
There are 7 fixed selector keys arranged around the new controller. These selector keys now enable selection of half of all the sub-menus.
The following sub-menus can still be selected only from the main menu:
- Contacts
- BMW Services
- Vehicle information
- Settings
| Index | Explanation |
|---|---|
| 1 | Controller (CON) |
| 2 | Radio selector key |
| 3 | CD/multimedia selector key |
| 4 | Main menu selector key |
| 5 | Telephone selector key |
| 6 | Navigation selector key |
| 7 | "Options" selector key |
| 8 | "Back" selector key |
When pressed, the "Back" button returns the user to the last screen mask. The "Option" button enables other settings in the last selected sub-menu.
The selector keys are used now instead of pushing the controller for a longer period in a certain direction.
A small switch block is electrically connected at the controller. Depending on the options fitted, the switch block contains the controls for the Park Distance Control (PDC = parking aid) as well as for the bumper camera. The signals are placed by the controller (CON) on the K-CAN.
