Special functions

with preparation for navigation system OE

Integration of the BMW Motorrad Navigator V can result in deviations from the descriptions in the operating instructions for the Navigator.

Reserve fuel level warning

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

The Navigator sends time and date to the motorcycle. The transfer of these data into the instrument cluster must be activated in the SETUP menu of the instrument cluster.

Security settings

The BMW Motorrad Navigator V can be secured against 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 Navigator 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 ignition 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.
