The E90 is equipped with the same TCU that is found in the E60 and E63/4 vehicles
only if option code SA639 (Assist or Premium Package) is ordered.
The range of functions offered are as follows:

functions Emergency call (E-call) and Breakdown call (B-call)
• Dual band 800 MHz and 1900 MHz
• Combined NAD (network access device) transceiver module for the:
- analog AMPS (American Mobile Phone Standard)
- digital CDMA (Code Division Multiplex Algorithm) standard
Two different equipment levels are offered for the American market:
• Telematic Control Unit with Telematic functions Emergency call (E-Call) and
Breakdown call (B-Call) without base plate or snap-in adapter.
• Telematic Control Unit with Telematic functions Emergency call (E-Call) and
Breakdown call (B-Call) with base plate and snap-in adapter for a supported
Bluetooth compatible mobile phone.
The telematic control unit is factory-programmed as "active" for Bluetooth.
Consequently, any supported mobile phone can be linked to the vehicle.
The customer also has the facility for charging the mobile phone in the vehicle and
making calls via the external aerial. The external aerial reduces the radiation exposure
inside the vehicle.
