CON: Controller

There are 7 fixed selector keys arranged around the new controller. These selector keys now enable selection of half of all the submenus.

The following submenus can still be selected only from the main menu:

• Contacts
• BMW Services
• Vehicle information
• Settings

When pressed, the "Back" button returns the user to the last screen mask. The "Option" button enables other settings in the last selected submenu.

The selector keys are used now instead of pushing the controller for a longer period in a certain direction.

A small switch block is electrically connected at the controller. Depending on the options fitted, the switch block contains the controls for the Park Distance Control (PDC = parking aid) as well as for the bumper camera. The signals are placed by the controller (CON) on the K-CAN.
