Multi-Informational Display (MID)
If your BMW is equipped with a MID, you may use it to place and receive calls in
hands-free mode. Calls can be placed via:
•Entering a non-stored number (“manual dialing”).
•If you have previously stored information through your handset (see “Storing
Names and Numbers” in the user manual), you can use the MID to dial by
name (alphatag) or by location number.
The MID is located in your vehicle’s center control console, to the right of the steering
wheel. The MID uses “soft” keys, or keys which change function depending on the
feature being accessed:
