Personal Profile
The 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 profiles with which personal
vehicle settings can be stored. Every remote
control has one of these profiles assigned.
If the vehicle is unlocked using a remote con‐
trol, the assigned personal profile will be acti‐
vated. All settings stored in the profile are au‐
tomatically 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 profile currently activated.
If another profile is selected via iDrive, the set‐
tings saved in it will be applied automatically.
The new profile is assigned to the remote con‐
trol currently used.
There is an additional guest profile available
that is not assigned to any remote control: It
can be used to apply settings in the vehicle
without changing the personal profiles.

functions are saved in the active profile. The
scope of storable settings is country- and

tiated anymore between the settings for
the two remote controls.
