Get to your destination faster and safer with the optional navigation system Professional. For increased safety, the optional Voice Control including block destination entry allows you to specify new destinations by stating just one sentence without having to remove your hands from the steering wheel. Satellite images and 3D route maps can be displayed on the high-resolution 8.8-inch screen next to one another using the split-screen mode. The alternative optional navigation system Business displays arrows and 2D maps on the 6.5-inch monitor to direct you to your destination.
The universal connection point: the option USB audio interface lets you connect practically any audio device into the BMW 5 Series Saloon's sound system. Standard MP3 players connect via the USB port. The auxiliary input (AUX IN) socket lets you connect devices via a cable from their headphone socket – from DAT recorders to minidisc players.
Mobile entertainment reaches a new level in the BMW 5 Series Saloon: the optional BMW DVD system plays both DVDs and music CDs (including MP3 files) in excellent quality. The system is controlled using an instrument panel in the roof or via an infrared remote control. The BMW DVD System Advanced offers two 7" colour screens integrated in the back of the driver and passenger seats, two cordless stereo headphones plus a 6-DVD changer in the boot.
