Voice Recognition System; Tcu; Ccc - BMW E90 Manual

Voice Recognition System

The E90 has two different variants of voice control:
• Internal of the TCU
• Internal of the CCC

TCU

Voice control for telephone functions comes as standard with all telephone systems. The
voice control capability is achieved by means of software on the telephone control unit.
Voice control comprises the telephone function and a voice-controlled phone book that
is separate from the address book on the mobile phone. Up to 50 names and telephone
numbers can be stored.
The telephone book managed by means of voice control cannot be transferred to the
mobile phone.
Note: The notepad function previously available with the ULF is not available
on the E90.
The microphone for voice control of the telephone is located in the roof functions center
on the driver's side. It is connected to the telephone control unit.

CCC

A more comprehensive voice recognition system is available with the option SA609
('Professional' navigation system) as the voice recognition system is realized as software
in the CCC.
Many of the functions that are otherwise selected via the controller in the CID can be
operated by means of voice commands.
The microphone is located in the roof functions center on the passenger's side and is
connected directly to the CCC.
The language of the voice recognition system cannot be changed in the CID. The lan-
guage that can be selected in the CID (one of three languages) refers only to the display
text and the announcement language for the navigation system.
During the CCC programming procedure, the language of the voice recognition system
is programmed corresponding to the vehicle order (country assignment). The language
cannot be easily changed over as for the display language due to the size of the software
package.
