Traffic information channel
(TMC)
If an audio system is installed in
the motorcycle, the audio system
sends the traffic announcements
to the Navigator. The symbol de-
scribed in the operating instruc-
tions of the Navigator appears on
the display.
It is not possible to receive
traffic announcements from
subscription services via the
BMW Motorrad audio system.
Range
The settings for the fuel gauge
enable you to define a distance
that is covered per full tank of
fuel. The motorcycle sends the
figure for residual range possible
with the fuel remaining in the fuel
tank to the Navigator, so it is no
longer necessary to enter this
value.
Time and date
Time and date are transmitted by
the Navigator to the motorcycle.
Acceptance of these data for the
readings in the instrument cluster
has to be activated in the user
settings for the motorcycle.
Security settings
The BMW Motorrad Navigator IV,
BMW Motorrad Navigator V and
BMW Motorrad Navigator VI can
be protected from unauthorised
use with a four-digit PIN (Garmin
Lock). If this function is activated,
while the Navigator is cradled on
the motorcycle and the ignition is
switched on you are prompted to
add the motorcycle to the list of
secured vehicles. If you answer
"Yes" at this prompt the Navig-
ator saves the VIN of this vehicle
in its internal memory.
A maximum of five VINs can be
saved in this way.
Subsequently, the PIN does not
have to be entered when the
Navigator is switched on by ig-
nition ON while cradled in any of
these vehicles.
If the Navigator is removed from
the vehicle while switched on, a
security prompt asking for the
PIN to be entered is issued.
Screen brightness
Screen brightness is adjusted by
the motorcycle while the unit is
cradled. There is no provision for
manual input.
