Interface operation 

 
3.6.

 

By iDrive-buttons 

 
Some of the iDrive-buttons can be used to execute interface functions. 
 
Long press MENU-button (approx.. 3 seconds) to switch the video source. Each 
repetition will switch to the next enabled input. If all inputs are enabled the order is: 
 
Factory video 

 video IN1 

 video IN2 

 factory video 

… 

 
Inputs which are not enabled are skipped. If the audio cable is connected, when 
switching from video IN1 to video IN2, also the sound will be switched. 

 
Press  CD-  or  RADIO-button  (AUDIO-button  of  the  small  iDrive)  to  return  to  the 
factory-video.  
 
Long press OPTION-button to switch the picture format 16:9 (split-screen) and 24:9 
(only available for ultra-wide screens 8.8”/10.2”

).

 

 

Switchover by vehicle buttons isn’t possible in all vehicles. In some vehicles the 
external keypad must be used. 

 
 
3.7.

 

By keypad 

 
Alternatively or additionally to the MENU-button the interface’s keypad can be used to 
switch the enabled inputs. 
 
Note: The white wire of the 6pin cable can be used with a +5-12V pulse to switch the video-
sources alternatively.
