The cordless Bluetooth mobile phone means you can do away with the cumbersome cable between your mobile handset and the hands-free equipment. Bluetooth-compatible mobile phones register with the on-board computer via the optional interface as soon as the driver approaches the vehicle. Telephone numbers, addresses and call lists are then automatically synchronised with the on-board computer. During the journey, the mobile phone can be operated using the multifunction steering wheel or the hands-free equipment. You local BMW partner will be happy to inform you of the mobile phones with which the Bluetooth interface is compatible.
An extra to the optional BMW Professional navigation system in the BMW 1 Series, Voice Control puts your words into instant action. It enables you to specify new destinations or play your favourite song by speech alone. It even offers a text-to-speech function that can read incoming emails, text messages and the name of radio stations aloud. Convenience, safety, comfort: Voice Control ensures that you are not distracted from the most important aspect of the BMW 1 Series - driving.
The optional BMW Navigation system Professional (incl. iDrive, radio Professional with DVD drive, Voice Control and a hard drive for maps and audio files for example) takes you where you want to go. Maps and directions are displayed on the high-resolution 8.8-inch screen either in 3D or using the split-screen mode. The optional Navigation System Business(incl. iDrive and radio Professional with CD drive) displays arrows and maps to direct you to your destination on the 6.5-inch monitor.
*Navigation systems Business and Professional are only available as part of optional media packages.
