Navigation
The navigation system is implemented in the CIC head unit by
incorporating a hard disk, a GPS receiver module and the yaw-rate
sensor into one device.
Of the total 80GB of space 65GB are reserved for the navigation
data on the hard disk. (The size of the hard disk and partitions are
subject to change)
Maps are displayed much faster due to the map data being stored
in the hard disk and the increased processing power of the CIC.

View of the Navigation System’s “Speller” for Entering Destinations

The CIC speller entry interface simplifies the destination entry pro-
cedure.
The menu located at the top right, next to the speller, shows the
last three place names entered.
After entering several letters, a preview map will be shown in the
assistant window to facilitate the destination entry.

Rear Entertainment (RSE)

The rear seat entertainment system F01/F02 features several Rear seat entertainment system
innovations in terms of equipment and operation.
Two folding 800 x 480 pixel displays with an infrared transmitter
are fitted for the first time in a BMW vehicle. They are integrated
into the backrests of the front seats.

New features of the rear seat entertainment system:

• Rear seat entertainment control unit with DVD player
• Separate AV inputs and headphone connections in the rear
center console
• Two 8" rear displays with control units and infrared
transmitters built into the backrests of the front seats
• The same program can be viewed on both screens. If an
external device (e.g. game console) is connected, the feed
from the external device is shown on the selected side.
• The system is controlled by remote control

System Overview System circuit diagram for outside temperature

The system circuit diagram for the outside temperature is displayed

to the right.
The diagram is structured in such a way that only the control units
and control elements directly involved in the instrument cluster are
shown.
The instrument cluster receives a large number of different bus sig-
nals that provide information (speed, CC messages, etc.) for the
various displays and indicators. These bus signals are requests to
the instrument cluster and are therefore not listed in this product
information.
The only directly connected component that can be seen in the
system circuit diagram is the outdoor temperature sensor. Index Explanation

in the form of analog and digital electrical signals. These signals
are processed and displayed in the instrument cluster or passed
on as information to other control units.
On the new BMW 7 Series F01/F02, the instrument cluster has
a number of functions that are new to BMW or have changed in
relation to existing BMW models.

Black Panel Technology

The F01/F02 is the first BMW vehicle to utilize Black Panel
technology. This is a panel, the back of which is coated with
black film that virtually covers the entire surface portion of the
instrument cluster. Instrument Cluster - Vehicle Awake

On the instrument cluster, the area that is not covered by the
Black Panel is designed in such a way that the symbols of the
lamps are not visible when switched off.
The Black Panel surface appears homogeneously dark, which
means that no details from the background area can be detected.
The two large accentuating rings for the speedometer and
tachometer and two small dial areas for the fuel gauge and oil
temperature are galvanized.

Component Replacement
There are three possible combinations for replacing the instrument
clusters and Car Access System 4, CAS 4.
• Instrument cluster defective, CAS 4 OK
• CAS 4 defective, instrument cluster OK
• CAS 4 and instrument cluster must be replaced.
Simultaneous replacement of CAS 4 and the instrument cluster
should be avoided. The odometer reading will be lost as a result.
It is not recommended to “try” an instrument cluster from another
vehicle.

Removal of the Instrument Cluster

The instrument cluster is held in place by two clips on the upper
section of the bezel. The two torx screws as in previous model
vehicles have been eliminated.

Air Ionizer By partial ionization of the air the formation of bacteria on the
evaporator surface and the associated odor is prevented.
The air Ionizer used in the F01/F02 is the latest technical innova-
tion in the area of heating and air conditioning. The air ionizer is a separate component which fits onto the climate-
control unit with bayonet connection and is positioned in the air
The air ionizer is positioned upstream of the evaporator and it is stream to the evaporator.
activated as necessary when the vehicle is stationary.
It essentially consists of a planar module, a flat ceramic plate which
is covered by hard glass with printed electrical conductors located
on the front and back of the component.
Applying a high voltage generated internally in the ionizer partially
ionizes the air.
The chemical reaction between the ionized air and the condensed
water produces hydrogen peroxide in the evaporator housing,
which kills bacteria and germs on the evaporator and thus prevents
the formation of unpleasant odors that could enter the vehicle inte-
rior.
The IHKA decides when and whether to operate the air ionizer,
based on the ambient and operating conditions of the climate
control system.
The air ionizer is operated for a period of several minutes by a
control signal from the IHKA.
Operation takes place as required only during the overrun period
after Terminal 15 is turned OFF and the vehicle is locked.
The maximum power consumption of the unit is 850 mA.
The power supply for operating the air ionizer is through a
three-pin connector on the climate control wiring harness.
Communication with the IHKA control panel takes place by
means of a control signal via a bidirectional cable connection.
