2. "XM Satellite Radio Inc."

BMW uses "Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.". With "Sirius Satellite Radio Inc." 3 Sirius satellites circle the earth on an elliptical orbit. The orbit around the earth and the positions of the Sirius satellites were deliberately selected so that 2 Sirius satellites always transmit to the reception area. The illustration below shows the orbit and satellites.

Scheme 11

The advantages of "Sirius Satellite Radio Inc." (as compared to "XM Satellite Radio Inc.") are

1. Higher orbit, eliminating screening from mountains and buildings.
2. Fewer stationary antennae for terrestrial reception are required.

Sirius needs approx. 105 stationary antennae for terrestrial reception. "XM Satellite Radio Inc." requires 1500 stationary antennae for terrestrial reception.

"Sirius Satellite Radio Inc." System

Generates and distributes the radio program through

1. National "Sirius Satellite Radio Inc." station
2. Transmitting antennae (parabolic antennae)
3. Satellites
4. Satellite control centre
5. Stationary antennae for terrestrial reception

The vehicle needs

1. SDARS antenna for satellite reception
2. SDARS antenna for terrestrial reception

Scheme 12

Scheme 13

National Radio Station "Sirius Satellite Radio Inc." is located in the Rockefeller Center, New York City. The radio programs are transmitted by cable from the studios to the transmitting antennae.

Transmitting Antennae The transmitting antennae are parabolic antennae to focus the antenna beam onto the satellites. The transmitting antennae are connected by cable to the national radio station in New York. Digital signals are transmitted to the 3 Sirius satellites from the transmitting antennae.

Scheme 14

The digital signals are transmitted to the 3 Sirius satellites from the transmitting antennae as follows

1. 2 antennae in New Jersey transmit to 2 satellites.
2. 1 antenna at the radio station in New York transmits to 1 satellite.

Satellite Control Station The satellite control station continually monitors the 3 Sirius satellites of the "Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.".

Stationary Antennae For Terrestrial Reception The stationary antennae disperse the signals from the satellites into reception areas where there is no satellite reception.

Scheme 15

Frequency Range The SDARS systems work in the frequency range 2320 MHz to 2345 MHz. The SDARS system used by BMW uses the frequency range 2320 MHz to 2332.5 MHz.

Note. SDARS can only be received by digital tuners. Radios for AM (Amplitude Modulation: medium waves, long waves, short waves) or FM (Frequency Modulation: VHF) are not able to pick up digital signals.

BENEFITS

1. Low degree of interference from outside sources (no noise) because signals are transmitted digitally.
2. Reception of the national radio station is possible over the whole of mainland USA.
3. Sound quality is nearly as good as from Compact Disk or MiniDisk.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS

The components involved can be split into the following functional areas

1. Master control unit and aerials
2. Central display and control
3. Audio

Satellite Tuner: Tuner For Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service

The satellite tuner converts the digital signals from the SDARS aerials into optical signals (light signals). The satellite tuner transmits these optical signals onto the MOST bus (Media-Oriented System Transport).

Installation Location

On E60, E61, E63, E64 the satellite tuner is located on the side panel on the left-hand side of the luggage compartment.

Scheme 16

On E90, E91 the satellite tuner is located on the base plate in the luggage compartment.

Scheme 17

Design

The satellite tuner has connections for 2 SDARS antennas

1. 1 antenna connector for SDARS antenna for satellite reception
2. 1 antenna connector for SDARS antenna for terrestrial reception

The satellite tuner is connected to the MOST bus via an internal interface. The same plug is also used for the power supply.

Scheme 18

Pin Assignment

PIN ASSIGNMENTS FOR SATELLITE TUNER CONNECTOR X14062, 4-PIN

How It Works

The digital signals (high-frequency signals) are fed to the satellite tuner from the following 2 SDARS antennas

1. SDARS antenna for terrestrial reception
2. SDARS antenna for satellite reception The digital signals have a varying modulation (frequency or time modulation) but carry the same information. They are first processed separately and then evaluated to ensure the best possible quality of data transmission.

After they have been amplified, the digital signals are routed to an intermediate-frequency amplifier and converted into intermediate-frequency signals (ZF signals).

The ZF signals are then sent separately to two analogue/digital converters and converted into digital signals.

The separate processing and evaluation of the signals ensures that the best possible combination of signals from the 3 separate sources (Sirius satellite 1, Sirius satellite 2 and stationary antennae for terrestrial reception) is always used.

The processed signals are converted into optical signals (light signals) in an integrated MOST transmitter/receiver. The optical signal generated in the MOST transmitter/receiver is emitted on the MOST bus.

SDARS Antennas

High-frequency signals (digital signals) from satellites and stationary aerials for terrestrial reception are picked up by 2 SDARS aerials on the vehicle. Separate aerial cables route the signals to the satellite tuner.

SDARS aerials

1. 1 SDARS aerial for terrestrial reception from stationary aerials
2. 1 SDARS aerial for satellite reception

On E60, E61, E90, E91, the antennas are located in the fin on the rear edge of the roof.

Scheme 19

On E63, E64, the antennas are located under the interior trim of the tailgate. As the tailgate is made of plastic, there is no interference with reception.

Scheme 20

The fin can house the following antennas

1. Telephone antenna 1
2. Telephone antenna 2
3. SDARS antenna for terrestrial reception
4. SDARS antenna for satellite reception
5. GPS antenna for navigation systems (GPS: Global Positioning System).

The individual antennas are combined as a single casing as follows.

Scheme 21

The antenna connectors for the individual antennas are shown in the following illustration.

Scheme 22

The SDARS antennas are receiving antennas.

1. SDARS Antenna For Terrestrial Reception The SDARS antenna for terrestrial reception picks up the signals from the terrestrial antennae. Terrestrial antennae are stationary antennae located, for example on masts or in tunnels. The stationary antennae for terrestrial reception are needed as satellite signals cannot be received everywhere.
2. SDARS Antenna For Satellite Reception The SDARS antenna for the satellite reception picks up the signals direct from the 3 Sirius satellites.

2. Optimised radio reception
3. Wide selection of radio programs, grouped according to musical style

Digital Radio Reception

The "Sirius Satellite Radio Inc." radio station records the radio programs in digital form. Parabolic antennae transmit the signals to the 3 Sirius satellites.

The digital signals are transmitted back to Earth as follows

1. 2 satellites transmit to all parts of the Earth. The signals are received by the car's SDARS aerial for satellite reception.
2. 1 satellite transmits the digital signals to stationary antennae for terrestrial reception. The aerials transmit digital signals in all directions. The vehicle's SDARS aerial for terrestrial reception receives these digital signals.

Different reception paths for digital signals ensure that reception is good even if there is no direct visual contact between the vehicle and the Sirius satellites.

If there is not direct visual contact, the signal will be received via the stationary antennae for terrestrial reception.

Satellite reception can be prevented by topographical and constructional features (e.g. valleys, skyscrapers, tunnels).

Very good reception across the entire region covered is achieved through the following measures

1. Satellites positioned in a high elliptical orbit
2. Use of additional stationary antennae for terrestrial reception

Optimised Radio Reception

The quality of the signal is further improved by a special process for evaluating the signal.

Wide Selection Of Radio Programs, Grouped According To Musical Style

1. A wide selection of musical styles can be grouped together in the following categories: "Rock" "Hip-Hop" "Country" "Dance" "Jazz/Standards" "Popular" "Rhythm and Blues" "Variety" "Classical" "News" "Sports" "Entertainment"

Operation

Note. "Sirius Satellite Radio Inc." may only be used with a valid contractual agreement. A contract must be signed with the company before the "Sirius Satellite Radio Inc." service can be used. "Sirius Satellite Radio Inc." may block the service through the satellite contact: e.g. if payment obligations are not met.

Note. SDARS must be enabled. After enablement, perform initial operation of SDARS as described in the operating instructions. How to use the satellite tuner is described in detail in the operating instructions.

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the SDARS will be operated as follows

Using A Satellite Tuner For The First Time

The first time a satellite tuner decodes a signal from a satellite, the so-called "Preview Channel" can be heard for a period of 6 months without a contract. ("Preview Channel: selected station for trials purposes) Once this period has been exceeded, the radio station will block sound output. (The list of stations will still be displayed.) Continued use of the radio station requires enablement. To this end, a contract must be concluded with "Sirius Satellite Radio Inc.".

For reasons of quality assurance, some satellite tuners are tested by the manufacturer. These satellite tuners are marked with a blue label. The date of manufacture is shown on the white label. That means: The trials period with the "Preview Channel" has been running since the date of manufacture. For this reason, it may occasionally happen that the trials period has expired before the satellite tuner is first used in the vehicle.

Scheme 23

SDARS Diagnosis (E60, E61, E63, E64, E90, E91)

Option 645 "Radio Control US" together with option 655 "BMW satellite tuner" can be diagnosed with the BMW diagnosis system over the vehicle's diagnosis interface. The BMW diagnosis system displays the necessary operations as it guides the user through the menus.

Software update, maintenance and troubleshooting: Like all other subscribing control units the satellite tuner has read and write access to the diagnosis operations. In the CAS control unit, the saved profile can be actively changed via the diagnosis log.

Programming/Replacing Control Unit

Most of the selected settings for SDARS are retained even if the relevant control units are reprogrammed. The following procedure is executed

1. Before programming or encoding starts, the data is automatically read off by CIP (Encoding, Individualisation, Programming) into the intermediate memory.
2. After programming, the data is stored again in the respective control units.

Car & Key Memory For SDARS (E60, E61, E63, E64, E90, E91)

With the Car & Key Memory, 12 channels can be stored as individual default settings ("Presets"). The presets are stored in the satellite tuner (SDARS). The presets are specified for a specific ignition key by means of a code. When the car is started the satellite tuner finds the last radio station that was being listened to prior to switching off.

Power Supply A cycled current supply (switching power unit) provides power. The power unit creates very little power loss. Voltage peaks are avoided by switching on and off (hence the name "switching power unit").

In addition, a power supply is also created in standby mode.

Various Equipment Specifications Depending on the model series and equipment variant, the video module can work in different ways. In general, the following as described

1. "Analogue": The video module is only suitable for analogue television.
2. "Hybrid": The video module is suitable for analogue and digital television.
3. "Drive": The video module is suitable for watching television while the vehicle is moving. It is only possible to watch television in the rear while the vehicle is moving.
4. "FBAS": The video module is connected to an FBAS wire. Inputs and outputs have FBAS wires. This video module is always hybrid, i.e. suitable for analogue and digital television.
5. "RGB": The video module is connected to RGB wires. This video module supports analogue television.

To date, only analogue video modules have been fitted. The analogue video modules work either on the basis of FBAS or on the basis of RGB (FBAS: Composite Video Burst Synchronisation; RGB: red-green-blue).

ANALOGUE VIDEO MODULES: HOW IT WORKS AND MODEL SERIES

Since 09/2004, hybrid video modules have been fitted in countries with DVB-T (in model series E60, E61, E63, E64, E65, E66). Hybrid video modules process analogue and digital television. The hybrid video modules also work on the basis of either FBAS or RGB.

HYBRID VIDEO MODULES: HOW IT WORKS AND MODEL SERIES

Note. In Japan there is only analogue television. Japan does not have DVB-T. For this reason, an analogue video module is fitted for television in the front in Japan (on RGB basis). With equipment variant television in front and rear, the video module VM5 DRIVE is fitted in Japan (analogue video module on RGB basis).

Video Modules And Aerial Inputs All video module have 2 aerial inputs, except: video module 5 hybrid DRIVE.

Monitors: Control Display or Central Information Display

Note. The following components are controlled

> E65, E66: Control Display

> E60, E61, E63, E64: Central Information Display

FD: Rear Display

> E65, E66

The rear display is part of the "Rear seat area entertainment" option.

The rear display is the monitor for the television in the rear.

The rear display is mounted on the centre console between the driver's and front passenger's seats.

The rear display is actuated by the SG-FD (rear display control unit, via the LVDS data wire).

The rear display is a control unit on the K-CAN system

Loudspeakers

The following loudspeakers are actuated for television sound output

1. Tweeters and medium-range loudspeakers: The loudspeakers are actuated by the CCC or ASK. (CCC: Car Communication Computer: E60, E61, E63, E64) (ASK: audio system controller: E65, E66)
2. Woofers: If an amplifier (AMP) is fitted (HiFi amplifier or TOP-HiFi amplifier), the woofers are actuated by the amplifier.

KHA: Headphones Connector Module

> E65, E66

The headphones connector module is integrated into the rear compartment centre armrest control centre.

The headphones are connected to the KHA.

FBAS Wire

Note. The following wires are important

FBAS: Farbbild-Austast-Synchronsignal

English CVBS: Composite Video Burst Synchronisation

> E60, E61, E63, E64

The FBAS wire connects the video module to the Car Communication Computer.

The FBAS wire consists of 2 wires

1. One wire is used to transmit all three 3 RGB signals (red-green-blue) together. The synchronisation pulse (for a sharp TV picture) are also transmitted on the wire for RGB signals.
2. The other wire is used for screening and earthing.

Coaxial cable

The coaxial cables transmit high-frequency signals, e.g. between the aerial amplifier and the video module (VM)

1. E60, E61, E63, E64, E65, E66: between the video module and the aerial amplifier
2. E65, E66: between the DVD changer and video module

Construction of coaxial cable

1. Inner conductor ("core"), insulated
2. The outer conductor forms a mantle around the inner conductor

LVDS Data Wire

LVDS stands for "Low Voltage Differential Signalling".

There is always a LVDS data wire between the display control unit and the monitor

1. E60, E61, E63, E64: Between the Car Communication Computer and Central Information Display
2. E65, E66: Between the rear display control unit and the rear display

LVDS is a special technology for fast and secure data transmission

There are 2 wires for each signal. The signal is transmitted positively on one wire, negatively on the other (inverted). This means that each pair of wires is electrically neutral.

Interference from outside has no effect on the signal transmission: such interference affects both wires equally. The signal information is thus unaffected. This is because

The control unit processes the difference between the positive and negative signals. This difference remains unchanged even in the event of interference from outside.

The LVDS data wire for the television consists of the following wires

1. 2 wires for red
2. 2 wires for green
3. 2 wires for blue
4. 2 earth wires
5. Screening

The synchronised pulses are transmitted on the wire for image signals.

RGB Wire

> E60, E61, E63, E64: between the video module and the CCC

> E60, E61, E63, E64: between the NAV and CD

> E65, E66: between the video module and the CD

> E65, E66: between the video module and SG-FD

The RGB wire has 3 wires for image signals: red-green-blue. The synchronised pulse is transmitted on the wire for the green signal.

The RGB wire is screened. The screening carries no current.

In addition, the RGB wire has its own earth wire for improved electromagnetic compatibility. The earth wire conducts current.

MOST Bus

The MOST bus connects the control units for the vehicle's information and communication systems. These control units are programmed via the MOST port.

K-CAN or K-CAN SYSTEM: Body CAN or Body CAN SYSTEM

> E60, E61, E63, E64: K-CAN

The enclosures also include the following information: Fundamental information about digital television An overview of the conversion from analogue to digital television in various countries

Overview Of E60, E61, E63, E64, E65, E66: Digital Television

This SI Technology bulletin (SBT) principally describes digital television as used by BMW. In addition, the following information is provided

1. Fundamental information: Advantages of and standards for digital television
2. An overview of the conversion from analogue to digital television in various countries

Basic Principles Of Digital Television

Advantages of digital television

1. Number of TV Programs Digital television makes better use of the band-width when broadcasting TV programs than analogue television: The digital signals can be transmitted and compressed without loss. Example: A TV picture with 625 lines (PAL) has an uncompressed data transmission rate of 216 Mbit/s. With MPEG-2, this TV picture is compressed at least to 8 MBit/s. Data compression is variable and dynamic, depending on the content of the TV picture. This provides the following possibilities: Multiplex: Several TV stations on one channel: Because of the data compression, up to 5 TV stations can be digitally broadcast on a single conventional UHF or VHF channel. This transmission is known as "Bouquet". Specification of UHF and VHF channels: VHF channel for television: 48-67 MHz VHF: Very High Frequency, frequency range: 30-300 MHz UHF channel for television: 471-860 MHz UHF: Ultra High Frequency, frequency range: 300 MHz to 3 GHz Higher transmission quality due to data compression: The band-width is used for TV stations with higher resolution (HDTV: High Definition Television, previously only used in Australia).
2. Improved Transmission Performance DVB-T has a better transmission performance than analogue television: Digital television is some 10 dB "better" than analogue television. This means that a lower transmission output is needed for the same range.
3. Interference-Free Data Transmission Due To Multipath Reception Analogue television produces "shadows" when a TV program is received more than once (caused by the reflection of the signal): A TV picture appears superimposed on top of the same TV picture, shifted slightly to one side and significantly weaker. Multipath reception is useful for digital reception: Even reflected signals are used for building up the picture.
4. Mobility Because digital television is resistant to interference, is also supports mobile reception: Stable reception is possible at speeds of up to 200 km/h under favourable conditions.
5. Universal Coverage Of Large Areas With Single-Frequency Network Several geographically separate TV stations are linked in a single-frequency network (SFN). The single-frequency network functions as follows: All TV stations work on the same transmission frequency. The TV stations are synchronised by GPS so that exactly the same information is transmitted to within 100 nanoseconds. Because the information is precisely synchronised, only one frequency is needed for a TV program, even in a large reception area.
6. Loss-Free Recording TV Programs can be stored without loss on CD, PC and laptop. Digital television (DVB: Digital Video Broadcasting) has the following standards: DVB-S: Digital television for data transmission via satellite DVB-C: Digital television for data transmission via cable networks DVB-T: Digital television for data transmission via stationary antennae for terrestrial reception (frequency ranges: VHF or UHF). Terrestrial, digital television in USA: Standard for digital television in USA: ATSC (Advanced Television Systems Committee). Terrestrial, digital television in Japan: Standard for digital television in Japan: ISDB (Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting). DVB-H: Digital television for asynchronised transmission onto mobile final devices (handheld units), also terrestrial.

Digital And Analogue Television

Depending on the equipment variant, analogue and/or digital television can be received.

For digital television the DVB-T standard is supported. Only terrestrial reception is possible.

The abbreviation "DVB-T" stands for "Digital Video Broadcasting" - Terrestrial. In other words "DVB-T" means: digital television transmitted via antenna ("terrestrial").

There are two equipment specifications for analogue and digital television

1. Television when the vehicle is stationary
2. Television when the vehicle is in motion

Television When The Vehicle Is Stationary (Front)

Viewing television in the front is only possible when the vehicle is stationary.

The television is deactivated when the vehicle reaches walking pace. The sound remains unaffected.

Television in the front is available for the following model series

> E60, E61, E63, E64, E65 and E66

Television When The Vehicle Is In Motion (Rear Compartment Only)

Television in the rear is only available with the model series E65 and E66.

It is also possible to watch television in the rear when the vehicle is in motion.

Television Reception

The analogue television supports the following television standards

1. NTSC: NTSC is most common in North and South America and in Japan. NTSC is an analogue television standard for colour transmission. NTSC stands for "National Television Standards Committee".
2. PAL: PAL is most common in Europe. PAL is also used in Australia and in most African and Asian countries (except for Japan). PAL is common in all countries that do not have NTSC and SECAM. PAL is an analogue television standard for colour transmission. PAL is a further development of NTSC. As with NTSC, the TV pictures are transmitted in lines. PAL, however, evens out colour faults. PAL stands for "Phase Alternating Line".
3. SECAM: SECAM is most common in France and Eastern Europe. SECAM stands for "Sequentielle Couleur a Memoire", i.e. "sequential colour memory".

Digital television supports data transmission via MPEG.

MPEG stands for "Motion Picture Experts Group". MPEG is the designation of a data compression standard for image signals.

Transmission Of Image Signals In Vehicle

Image signals are transmitted as follows, depending on equipment fitted

1. E65, E66: Television in front: Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the video module or the navigation system will transmit the RGB signals to the control unit for the monitor (CD or SG-FD: Control Display or rear display control unit): If a navigation system is fitted, the navigation system will transmit the RGB signals to the monitor (exception: Japan navigation system) The red-green-blue image signals are transmitted via the RGB wire. Signal path: Aerial -> Aerial cable -> Aerial amplifier -> Video module (VM) -> FBAS wire -> Navigation system (NAV) -> RGB wire -> CD (Control Display). If there is no navigation system fitted, the video module will transmit the image signal to the monitor as follows: E60, E61, E63, E64: from the video module through the FBAS wire to the Car Communication Computer (CCC). A LVDS data wire transmits the image signal between the CCC and the CID (Central Information Display). E65, E66: From the video module through the RGB wire to the Control Display
2. Television in front and rear (E65, E66 only) The navigation system transmits its image data to the video module. The image signals are transmitted between the SG-FD and rear display through a LVDS data wire.

Image Buildup

E60, E61, E63, E64, E65, E66

The TV picture is built up as follows

1. Colours are made up of individual red, green and blue pixels.
2. The TV picture is built up line by line.
3. Synchronisation of image signals: For a sharp TV picture, the pixels must be precisely synchronised. The synchronisation works as follows: Horizontal synchronisation defines when a line ends and a new line starts. Vertical synchronisation defines when a new image buildup is to start (in the top left corner. A separate electrical pulse is provided for synchronisation: The synchronisation pulse. The synchronisation pulse is transmitted with the green signal (all model series).

Sound Reception

The sound signal is received together with the image signal in the TV signal.

Signal path for sound: Aerial -> Aerial cable -> Aerial amplifier -> Coaxial cable -> Video module -> MOST bus -> Radio or amplifier (AMP) -> Loudspeakers.

The video module processes the sound for the television.

Sound Output

Sound is output in mono or stereo as follows

1. Analogue TV sound in mono: The video module receives the analogue TV sound in mono. The analogue TV sound is digitalised. The video module lays the digitalised signal on both the left and right synchronous channel of the MOST bus. The ASK or CCC emit the audio signals to the loudspeakers (via the amplifier, depending on equipment variant).
2. Digital TV sound in stereo: The digital TV sound is received and emitted in stereo. Precondition: The TV program is transmitted in stereo.
3. 2-channel sound: 2-channel sound is only available with digital television reception. 2-channel sound allows, for example, a foreign-language broadcast to be overdubbed in English. With 2-channel sound, the language of the country concerned will be output through the loudspeakers. The other language will be muted.

Depending on the equipment variant, the loudspeakers are actuated by amplifiers are follows

1. HiFi amplifier > E60, E61, E63, E64, E65, E66 The HiFi amplifier actuates the woofers. CCC or ASK actuate the mid-range loudspeakers and the tweeters.
2. TOP-HiFi amplifier "Logic 7" > E60, E61, E63, E64, E65, E66 The TOP-HiFi amplifier actuates all loudspeakers.

Mute

If necessary, sound output can be switched between navigation system and television.

The sound signals from the radio and television are muted under the following conditions

1. Telephone call
2. Navigation system announcements
3. Traffic reports

The CCC or the ASK controls the muting.

Station Selection

The video module manages a list of all the television stations that can currently be received.

This list of stations is shown on the Control Display (CD) or Central Information Display (CID) as follows

1. Where station names for individual TV programmes can be determined, the list starts with the station names arranged in alphanumeric order (e.g. ARD, BR3, SAT1 ...).
2. After this, a list will appear showing the reception channels with unknown station names. This list is also alphanumerically ordered: e.g. CH3, CH7, CH12, ... for Channel 3, Channel 7, Channel 12.

> E65, E66: Front and rear seat television: The list of stations is updated automatically.

> E60, E61, E63, E64 and E65, E66 with television in front: The list of stations is updated manually by selecting "Autostore".

The list of stations is also updated if another entertainment module is selected (e.g. if you change to the radio or CD changer). When the television is called up again the current list of stations is offered automatically.

Aerial Diversity

> E65, E66 Only: television in front and rear, analogue and digital

The "aerial diversity" function is only available with 3 TV aerials.

To ensure optimum reception, these 3 TV antennae work as follows

1. 2 TV aerials receive the required television station.
2. 1 TV aerial searches in the background for other transmission frequencies for this television station.

The required television station is received on the transmission frequencies with the highest signal strength.

Aerial diversity works as follows

If more than one station have the same name when analogue TV is in use, then there are alternative frequencies. e.g. "Television station 1" is being received on 3 different analogue frequencies. In this case the television station is displayed just once.

Aerial diversity automatically selects the best frequency. "Television station 1" is shown in the display.

If, however, a television station is transmitting "Television station 1" analogue on several frequencies and "1st digital" digitally on another frequency, then the display shows the following

1. Aerial diversity combines all frequencies for analogue television. The best frequency is selected and displayed. e.g.: "Television station 1".
2. However, aerial diversity is not able to combine the following TV stations: Analogue reception for "Television station 1" and digital reception for the "1st digital". This is because: The video module cannot assign the two different notations and meanings to one another.

This means "Television station 1" appears twice in the list of stations: Once analogue as "Television station 1" and once digitally as the "1st digital".

Video Switch

The video module switchers between the various video sources, e.g. between television and video.

This function is called "video switch".

The following operations are described

1. Adjusting screen settings
2. Selecting television stations
3. Updating list of stations

Note. Please comply with instructions in Owner's Handbook. Detailed instructions for the television can be found in the vehicle's Owner's Handbook.

Adjusting Screen Settings

Users can adjust the screen settings for colour, contrast and brightness: Call up the corresponding menu (using the CD and controller on the E65, E66; using the CID and controller on the E60, E61, E63, E64).

The controller controls the monitor settings.

Depending on the equipment specification, the screen setting is processed in the following control units

1. Vehicles with television in the front: > E60, E61, E63, E64: Car Communication Computer (CCC) > E65, E66: For vehicles with a navigation system the screen setting is processed in the control unit for the navigation system (NAV). On vehicles without navigation system, the video module processes the monitor settings.
2. Vehicles with rear display (E65, E66 only): The video module processes the monitor settings.

Selecting Television Stations

1. Select country (On the Control Display or Central Information Display; CD on E65, E66; CID on E60, E61, E63, E64): When a country is selected, the video module will set the correct television standard.
2. Select the required television station from the list of stations. The video module administers a list of stations with all receivable television stations. This list is displayed on the CD or CID.

Updating List Of Stations

On vehicles with television in the front, the list of stations is manually updated as follows: Call up "Autostore".

SWITCH-ON CONDITIONS

The television is available from terminal R ON.

The following information is available for service staff

1. General information: N/A
2. Diagnosis: refer to «E60, E61, E63, E64, E65, E66: TELEVISION DIAGNOSIS»(/bmw/m6/e63e64-2005-2010/remont/entertainment-systems/#audio-service-information__e60-e61-e63-e64-e65-e66) .
3. Encoding/programming: N/A
4. Car & Key Memory: The last settings made remain stored when the vehicle is shut down. The video module remembers the last TV station selected. The colour settings are also stored (in either the video module or navigation system, depending on equipment variant).

E60, E61, E63, E64, E65, E66: Television Diagnosis

The following information is available for diagnosis on the television

1. Measuring With And Without Adapter
2. Check Signal Paths Of FBAS Signal And RGB Signal
3. Self-Diagnosis For Aerials And Aerial Amplifiers

Measuring With And Without Adapter

Measuring Without Adapter

When measuring without an adapter, the second control unit (SG2, e.g. NAV) is disconnected. The signal is only measured using the resistance R. This means that the signal a voltage that is twice as high as it would be if measured with an adapter.

The illustration shows a measurement without adapter.

Scheme 46

Scheme 47

Measuring With Adapter

When measuring with an adapter, the second control unit (SG2, e.g. NAV) remains connected. The signal is only measured across the parallel circuit of the two resistances R1 and R2. This means that the signal a voltage that is half that it would be if measured without an adapter.

Scheme 48

Scheme 49

Check Signal Paths of FBAS Signal and RGB Signal

The following signal paths may differ from the voltage values. However, the path must agree at the points marked.

Checking FBAS Signal

FBAS signal path

Scheme 50

Composite Video Burst Synchronisation With FBAS, the image signals (red-green-blue) are transmitted via a single wire. The signal path has 3 important points. These points are independent of the oscillograph displayed. These points are meaningful for the measurement.

Checking RGB Signal

RGB signal path: red-green-blue

Scheme 51

With the RGB signal, the image signals are separated according to colour and transmitted through 3 wires: green, yellow and blue.

The synchronisation pulse for the RGB signals is carried on the green signal. The signal path has 2 important points. These points are independent of the oscillograph displayed. These points are meaningful for the measurement.

Self-Diagnosis For Aerials And Aerial Amplifiers

The video module recognises how many aerial amplifiers are fitted in the vehicle.

The video module diagnoses the aerial inputs by measuring the supply voltage and supply current.

With hybrid video modules (VM5 hybrid), each aerial input is diagnosed individually. The range 20 mA to 100 mA is recognised as valid. This means that diagnosis is independent of the different aerial amplifiers and their supply currents.

The video module recognises the following states

1. Short circuit: In the event of a short circuit, the power supply from the video module to the aerial amplifier remains switched off until the video module is restarted.
2. 1 aerial amplifier connected (all other aerial amplifiers failed or electrically disconnected)
3. 2 aerial amplifiers connected (depending on equipment variant, 3rd aerial amplifier failed or electrically disconnected)
4. 3 aerial amplifiers connected (only with analogue and digital television in rear)

The video module recognises the following states as faults

1. The aerial amplifiers draw too little current (less than 20 mA).
2. The aerial amplifiers draw too much current (more than 100 mA).

Self-diagnosis cannot be deactivated.

NATIONAL VERSIONS

Digital television is already available in many countries.

There are numerous analogue television standards worldwide. The video module supports these television standards and frequencies.

Note. Subscription TV is not supported. Because special cards and decoders are needed for subscription TV (pay TV), pay TV is not supported. Pay TV is available, for example in the Netherlands and in the UK. Free TV stations in the UK are supported.

The following details are available with regard to national versions

1. US national version
2. Japan national version
3. Different switch-off conditions when driving in different national versions

Note. The Japan national version is also valid for China and Korea. The equipment specifications for the Japanese national version also support television reception in China and Korea.

US National Version

In the US version, the television is deactivated by encoding.

Reason: watching television in cars is forbidden in the USA.

However, a video module is fitted, depending on the equipment. This video module serves as a video switch between the different entertainment sources (e.g. radio, CD changer).
