The 8.8" wide-screen display was updated, having a brighter screen and the ability to control a MP3 capable 6 CD-changer or a BMW iPod Interface.
#IDRIVE CONTROLLER UPDATE#
The last hardware update of the GPS unit ("NAV03") got a faster processor again. In April 2005, the iDrive controller was changed again, the turn knob having a new leather top. The new GPS computer ("NAV02") was updated to read DVDs, featured a faster processor and the ability to display the map in bird's-eye view ("perspective"). In October 2003, a menu and a customizable button was added to the controller. The GPS computer ("NAV01", located in the trunk) was only capable of reading map CDs. The first generation of iDrive controllers in the 7 Series was equipped with only a rotary knob.
#IDRIVE CONTROLLER SOFTWARE#
The production version debuted in September 2001 in the BMW 7 Series (E65) and was built on the VxWorks kernel while the Navigation computer used Microsoft Windows CE for Automotive this can be seen when the system reboots or restarts after a software crash, displaying a "Windows CE" logo. Īn early prototype iDrive (called the Intuitive Interaction Concept) was featured on the BMW Z9 concept in 1999. BMW also owns the Mini brand, and a pared-down version of iDrive is available on those cars, branded as Connected. IDrive is also used in modern Rolls-Royce models, as Rolls-Royce is owned by BMW and in the 2019 onwards Toyota Supra which is a collaboration between BMW and Toyota.
#IDRIVE CONTROLLER DRIVER#
IDrive allows the driver (and, in some models, front-seat passengers) to control the climate ( air conditioner and heater), audio system ( radio and CD player), navigation system, and the communication system. These are used for high-speed applications such as controlling the television, DVD, or driver assistance systems like adaptive cruise control, infrared night vision or head-up display. IDrive introduced the first multiplexed MOST Bus/ Byteflight optical fiber data busses with very high bit rate in a production vehicle. The system unifies an array of functions under a single control architecture consisting of an LCD panel mounted in the dashboard and a control knob mounted on the center console. It was launched in 2001, first appearing in the E65 7 Series. IDrive is an in-car communications and entertainment system, used to control most secondary vehicle systems in late-model BMW cars.
