Introduction; User Interface Mode; Ui Mode 1; Ui Mode 2 - BMW Intravee II User Manual

1. Introduction

The Intravee is designed to provide full control and display capability for Alpine AI-
Net components use the BMW or Rover OEM audio system. As far as possible the
interface looks and feels as though it was original BMW or Rover equipment.

1.1. User Interface Mode

Due to the wide range of different head units supplied in BMW and Rover cars, the
Intravee has different User Interface (UI) modes to enable the maximum use to be
made of the available features. By default the Intravee will automatically try to
determine the correct UI mode so setting the UI should not be required. On changing
from a system with one UI mode to another system with a different UI mode it may
take the Intravee up to 30 seconds to switch to the new UI mode. One set the UI
mode will remain set until a different system configuration is detected.
