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.
Convenience plus speed: the optional navigation system Professional including iDrive and with GPS provides easy-to-follow directions, either as voice instruction or as arrows, and/or a route map on the high-resolution 8.8-inch colour screen. The navigation system comprises the radio Professional, a DVD drive and a hard drive for storing maps and audio files for example. The 16:9 screen can be set to split-screen mode, so that the route map is displayed on one side and the arrow direction on the other. All destinations are stored on a DVD or CD-ROM.
Unlimited, voice-controlled communication and maximum comfort: the preparation for mobile phones with a Bluetooth interface and hands-free controls is compatible with a range of different makes of mobile phone, which can all be connected effortlessly using phone-specific adaptors (also available for the Apple iPhone). The phone system is activated via the multifunction steering wheel and Voice Control feature, and the external aerial ensures you can always contact the outside world when on the open road.
The universal connection point: the optional USB/audio interface lets you connect practically any audio device into the BMW 6 Series Coupé's sound system. Standard MP3 players connect via the USB port. The auxiliary input (AUX IN) socket lets you connect devices via a cable from their headphone socket - from DAT recorders to MiniDisc players.
