Information and Communication Systems - Overview - E85: Overview BMW Z4 E85/E86 рестайлинг

Model: E85

Production: From Start of Production

System Operation Top Hi-Fi

The Top Hi-Fi audio system features a 10-channel analogue amplifier with DSP technology as used in the current vehicles. The Top Hi-Fi amplifier is controlled with a constant audio signal via the two analogue output channels of the radio. In addition, the Top Hi-Fi amplifier features a digital input for the CD changer. The speakers are connected to the 10 output channels.

The Top Hi-Fi audio system has following output ratings

  1. Medium-range and high-range speakers: 6x20 W
  2. Low-range speakers: 2x40 W
  3. Carver low-range speakers: 2x100 W

Principle Of Operation

All audio systems are controlled via the radio. The differences between the systems are in the control of the amplifiers. The Hi-Fi and Top Hi-Fi amplifiers do not feature direct control functions.

Hi-Fi Amplifier

The Hi-Fi amplifier is controlled via the radio.

The required settings are selected in the radio and output via 4 radio outputs to the amplifier. The amplifier amplifies the settings and distributes them over 10 channels.

No variable matching takes place in the Hi-Fi amplifier. Vehicle-specific equalizing is integrated in the Hi-Fi amplifier.

The following functions can be set in the radio

  1. Volume
  2. Bass
  3. Treble
  4. Balance (left/right)
  5. Fader (front/rear)
  6. Loudness
  7. Speed-dependent volume control

The navigation computer DVD represents a further-development of the MK-3 computer. The computing capacity of the navigation computer DVD has been doubled (from previously 54 MHz to 108 MHz). Likewise, the capacity of the memory modules has been enlarged and a new flash module integrated to allow for considerably faster flashing (from previously 15.6 MIPS to 70.0 MIPS, million instructions per second).

The previous functions of the MK-3 computer have been fully adopted. Only the new or modified functions are outlined in the following section.

The following functions are new

  1. Additional destination inputs
  2. More accurate calculation of arrival time
  3. Improved direction
  4. Improved map presentation on the CID
  5. New map presentations
  6. Digitized road maps on DVD

The following new destination inputs are possible

  1. Direct input of border crossing points
  2. Address book extended to 100 entries (20)
  3. Storage of last 20 destinations (10)

Operation

The High navigation system is controlled by selecting the "GPS navigation" menu in the main menu of the central information display.

Basic settings are possible under the menu item "Settings" in the main menu to adapt the display to country specific requirements. The various settings can be carried out in the windows. The red markings correspond to the current settings.

With the "Screen" menu item in the Settings menu it is possible to switch between full and split screen.

As a result, it is possible to show the map and the navigation arrow simultaneously. Navigation is represented with arrows while in split screen or using the OBC functions.

The mask for entering the destination is accessed after selecting the "GPS navigation" menu. A submenu is selected by pressing the rotary push-button on the CID control panel.

In the "Announcement" menu, the last voice announcement is repeated by pressing the button. By pressing the button for longer than 2 seconds, the announcement is deactivated or activated depending on the setting.
