Safety information
Vehicle features and
options
Warning
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional features offered with the series.
It also describes features and functions that are
not necessarily available in your vehicle, e.g., due
to the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems. When using these functions and systems,
the applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐
served.
The operation of remote-controlled systems
with the integrated universal remote control,
such as the garage door, may result in injury,
for example, body parts becoming jammed in a
garage door. There is a risk of injury or risk of
damage to property. Make sure that the area of
movement of the respective system is clear
during programming and operation. Also follow
the safety information for the hand-held trans‐
mitter.
Integrated Universal
Remote Control
Compatibility
If this symbol is printed on the packaging
or in the operating instructions of the
system to be controlled, the system is
generally compatible with the integrated Univer‐
sal Remote Control.
Principle
The integrated Universal Remote Control in the
interior mirror can operate up to 3 functions of
remote-controlled systems such as garage door
drives, barriers, or lighting systems.
Additional questions are answered by:
▷ A dealer's service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.
General information

Wireless charging tray
Principle
When charging a device that meets the Qi
standard in the wireless charging tray, any
metal objects located between the device and
the tray can become very hot. Placing storage
devices or electronic cards, such as chip cards,
cards with magnetic strips or cards for signal
transmission, between the device and the tray
may impair the card function. There is a risk of
injury and risk of damage to property. When
charging mobile devices, make sure there are
no objects between the device and the tray.
The wireless charging tray enables the following
wireless functions:
▷ Charging the rechargeable battery of a mo‐
bile phone with Qi capability and of other mo‐
bile devices, which support the Qi standard.
▷ Charging the BMW Display key.
General information
When inserting the mobile phone, make sure
there are no objects between it and the wireless
charging tray.
During charging, the surface of the tray and the
mobile phone may become warm. Higher tem‐
peratures may lead to a reduction in the charge
current through the mobile phone, and in iso‐
lated cases the charging process is paused tem‐
porarily. Follow the relevant instructions in the
mobile phone owner's manual.

LTE-Compensator - Information
and User Manual
If you should be requested by the FCC to cease
operating your booster you are not allowed to in‐
sert your mobile phone in the charging tray any‐
more unless the booster is permanently deacti‐
vated by your local BMW dealer.
Your car is equipped with a wireless charging
tray (WCA) to charge your mobile phone and
connect it to the mobile network. To ensure the
best possible connection a signal booster (LTE-
Compensator) is used in conjunction with the
WCA. The following paragraphs refer to this
booster:
You must not remove the booster from the car
nor use it with any other than the preinstalled
coupling device or antenna. Any modification of
the existing antenna or coupling device as well as
the use of other antennas or coupling devices
will cause the cease of the booster´s operating li‐
cense.
This is a CONSUMER device.
BEFORE USE, you MUST REGISTER THIS DE‐
VICE with your wireless provider and have your
provider's consent. Most wireless providers con‐
sent to the use of Compensators. Some provid‐
ers may not consent to the use of this device on
their network. If you are unsure, contact your
provider. You MUST operate this device with ap‐
proved antennas and cables as specified by the
manufacturer. Antennas MUST be installed at
least 20 cm (8 inches) from any person. You
MUST cease operating this device immediately if
requested by the FCC or a licensed wireless
service provider. Warning E911 location informa‐
tion may not be provided or may be inaccurate
for calls served by using this device.
The booster device fulfills the network protection
standards as required by the FCC, such as inter‐
modulation limits, oscillation detection and gain
limits.
