Personal Profile
Concept
Using Personal Profile, individual settings for
several drivers can be saved and called up
again at a later time.
General information
There are three driver profiles with which per‐
sonal vehicle settings can be stored. Every re‐
mote control has one of these driver profiles
assigned.
If the vehicle is unlocked using a remote con‐
trol, the assigned personal driver profile will be
activated. All settings stored in the driver pro‐
file are automatically applied.
If several drivers use their own remote control,
the vehicle will adjust the personal settings
during unlocking. These settings are also re‐
stored, if the vehicle has been used in the
meantime by a person with a different remote
control.
Changes to the settings are automatically
saved in the driver profile currently activated.
If another driver profile is selected via iDrive,
the settings saved in it will be applied automat‐
ically. The new driver profile is assigned to the
remote control currently used.
There is an additional profile available that is
not assigned to any remote control: It can be
used to apply settings in the vehicle without
changing the personal driver profiles.
Settings
The settings for the following systems and
functions are saved in the active profile. The
scope of storable settings depends on country
and equipment.
▷ Unlocking and locking.
▷ Lights.
▷ Climate control.
▷ Radio.
