Solar Sensor (IHKA High Only)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 33 other vehicles, including the 2010 BMW M5, 2009 BMW M5, 2008 BMW M5, 2008 BMW 760Li, and 2007 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The solar sensor is located in the middle of the dashboard. (The installation position of the solar sensor in the E63/E64 has been turned through 180°.) This sensor is only active in automatic mode. The solar sensor takes external sources of light or heat (e.g. direct sunlight) into account, which could affect the air conditioning of the vehicle interior.

The sensor consists of 2 photoresistors. The sensor supplies the IHKA control unit with analogue signals for the driver's and front-passenger sides. The signal depends on the intensity of sunlight.
