Internet access.

Thanks to BMW ConnectedDrive, the internet can be used freely for the first time in an automobile. You can enter the address of any website you require or open a site directly using one of the favourite buttons. The iDrive Controller in the central console functions in the same way as a standard computer mouse.

Navigation system Professional for the BMW X5.

Convenience plus speed: the optional navigation system Professional with integrated Bluetooth mobile phone preparation provides easy-to-follow directions, either as voice instruction or as arrows, and/or a route map on the high-resolution 16:9 colour screen. The screen, which also functions as a television, can be set to split-screen mode, so that the route map is displayed on one side and the arrow direction on the other. For increased safety, the optional Voice Control allows you to specify new destinations without having to remove your hands from the steering wheel. The integrated hard drive stores all your maps, addresses, contacts and approximately 100 music CDs as MP3 files.

Bluetooth interface in the BMW X5.

The optional Bluetooth interface provides a wireless connection between the vehicle and Bluetooth-compatible mobile phones. The phones are operated via the hands-free kit, multifunction steering wheel, iDrive Controller or Voice Control depending on the equipment options of the individual vehicle. Your local BMW dealer will be happy to inform you about which mobile phone devices (and software versions) are compatible with the optional Bluetooth interface.

Digital road maps for the BMW X5.

Road networks are constantly changing: digital road maps for BMW navigation systems keep you informed of these changes and are available on CD or DVD twice a year. The integrated Falk travel guide* also provides you with a range of additional useful information, such as local sights and restaurants.
