System Components: Controller
The controller is the central operating control for all comfort functions and selected options for some vehicle functions that are displayed on the central information display.
The controller is located in the center console immediately behind the gear selector lever, within reach of the user (driver and front passenger).
There is only one variant available:
- High variant with CCC
The tactile feedback for the rotary movement at the controller is generated electrically in the High variant. The tactile feedback for the rest position, the main directions of movement and the depressed position is created by mechanical means.
The principle of the controller is identical to that on the BMW 6 Series, BMW 5 Series, and BMW 7 Series models.
The menu button which can be used to show the main menu in the CID is located directly behind the controller. In addition to the menu button, another button is provided to activate/deactivate the voice recognition system SVS.
The button signals are read into the controller and converted into K-CAN telegrams.
