Notes
BMW CD/DVD players and changers are
officially designated Class 1 laser prod-
ucts. Never use them if the cover is damaged,
otherwise there is a risk of serious eye injuries.
Do not use CDs/DVDs with adhesive labels that
have been affixed subsequently, as these may

bly.
Use only round CDs/DVDs with a standard
diameter of 12 cm, and do not use CDs/DVDs in
conjunction with adapters, e.g. CD singles. Oth-

may be impossible to eject.
Do not use combined CD/DVDs, e.g. DVD
otherwise the CD/DVD could jam and be impos-

General malfunctions
BMW CD/DVD players and changers have been
optimised for operation in vehicles. In some
instances, they may be more sensitive to faulty
CDs/DVDs than devices for stationary use.
If a CD/DVD cannot be played, first check
whether it has been inserted properly.
Humidity
A high level of humidity may cause the laser
beam focusing lens to fog over and temporarily
prevent the CD/DVD from being played.
Malfunctions with individual CDs/DVDs
Should malfunctions occur only with individual
CDs/DVDs, one of the following factors may be
the cause:
Self-recorded CDs/DVDs
With self-recorded CDs/DVDs, possible causes
for output malfunctions are, e.g., an inconsist-
ent data-creation or burning process, or low
quality or high age of the CD/DVD blank.
Only label CDs/DVDs on the top with a pen
designed for this purpose.
Damage
Avoid fingerprints, as well as dust, scratches
and moisture.
Store CDs/DVDs in a protective cover.
Do not expose CDs/DVDs to temperatures
above 506/1227, high levels of humidity or
direct sunlight.
CDs/DVDs with copy protection
CDs/DVDs are often copy-protected by the
manufacturer. This could result in CDs/DVDs
