Connecting headphones
You can connect headphones with a TRS con-
nector 1/8"/3.5 mm or operate them using the
infrared interface.
To enable optimal use of the infrared interface,
use infrared headphones that comply with the
IEC 61603-2 standard.
>Compatible infrared headphones and infor-
mation about supported headphones are
available at your BMW Sports Activity Vehi-
cle Center.
When using infrared headphones, it is
important not to interrupt the infrared
connection between the headphones and the
infrared interface, refer to page196. This
means that no obstacle should come between
the two and that the cover of the infrared inter-
face should not be covered or scratched. Unfa-
vorable lighting conditions such as glare from
outside can interfere with reception.<
