F10�Car�Information�Computer

With�the�Professional�navigation�system�(option�609),�the�CIC�head�unit�was�installed�for�the�first�time
on�BMW�1�Series�and�3�Series�vehicles.�This�further�development�of�the�Car�Communication�Comput-
er�CCC�is�now�also�being�used�in�the�F10.

By�storing�data�on�a�80�gigabyte�hard�disk,�the�new�head�unit�provides�many�new�functions�and�op-
tions.

In�the�audio�systems,�this�development�is�reflected�by�the�new�music�collection�function.�Music�files
can�be�converted�(ripped)�or�copied�for�the�music�collection�on�the�hard�disc.�Stored�on�the�CIC-ded-
icated�hard�disc,�fast�access�to�these�music�files�is�ensured�at�all�times.�A�selection�of�up�to�3700�mu-
sic�files�(12 gigabytes)�is�possible.

In�the�audio�system�area,�the�tuners/decoders�of�the�digital�radio�systems�Digital�Audio�Broadcasting
DAB,�IBOC�digital�tuner�US�and�satellite�tuner�(US)�SDARS�are�now�integrated�into�the�CIC.

A�modified�base�plate�implements�extended�connectivity�of�the�music�player�(option�6NF).�This�makes
it�possible�to�connect�to�and�play�back�music�tracks�in�the�mobile�phone.

Music�tracks�stored�in�the�mobile�phone�can�now�be�easily�accessed.�Simple�menu�navigation�and
playback�of�these�music�tracks�can�now�be�controlled�via�the�iDrive.

F10�CIC�Basic

The�basic�car�information�computer�(business�navigation�system,�option�606)�is�the�successor�head-
unit�of�the�multi‐audio�system�controller�M-ASK�and�the�multimedia�platform,�or�CHAMP�for�short.

CIC�Basic�is�a�consistent�further�development�of�the�direction�taken�in�2008�with�CIC�Professional
(professional�navigation�system,�option�609).

Unlike�its�predecessors�(M-ASK�and�CHAMP),�CIC�Basic�does�not�have�a�DVD�drive,�only�a�CD�drive.
CIC�Basic�continues�to�support�playback�of�audio�files�only.

The�navigation�data�are�now�on�a�flash�memory�similar�to�an�SD�card.�Compared�to�the�M-ASK,�nu-
merous�functions�have�now�been�added�to�the�navigation�system.�Examples�include�full-screen�mode,
night�view�and�the�2D�bird's�eye�perspective.�A�combined�view�of�the�map�view�and�arrow�display�is�al-
so�possible.

In�addition,�many�external�receivers�(e.g.�digital�tuners,�digital�decoders�etc.)�and�their�functions�have
been�mapped�in�the�hardware�or�software�of�CIC�Basic,�thus�expanding�the�range�of�functions�many
times�over.

For�additional�information�about�Car�Information�Computer�Basic,�refer�to�the�information�bulletin�enti-
tled�"Car�Information�Computer�Basic".

CIC�Basic�will�be�replaced�in�the�F10�by�CIC�Basic�II�in�09/2010.

2.3.�Car�Information�Computer�Basic�II
Car�Information�Computer�Basic�II�is�installed�as�standard�equipment�in�the�F10�(no�navigation�sys-
tem).�The�system�functions�in�CIC�Basic�II�are�similar�to�those�in�the�CIC�Basic.�In�09/2010,�with�CIC
Basic�II,�the�business�navigation�system�(option�606)�will�also�be�implemented.�CIC�Basic�II�will�then
replace�CIC�Basic�in�the�F10.�There�is�no�noticeable�difference�for�the�customer�between�CIC�Basic
and�CIC�Basic�II.

CIC�Basic�II�does�not�include�parts�that�can�be�replaced�by�BMW�Service,�and�must�be�replaced�in�its
entirety�in�the�event�of�a�defect.

The�incorporation�of�CIC�Basic�II�into�the�vehicle�electrical�system�of�the�F10�is�identical�to�that�of�CIC
Basic.

3.�Speaker�systems.
3.1.�Overview

F10�Speakers

The�speaker�systems�in�the�F10�are�offered�in�three�quality�levels:

• Stereo�system�(standard)
• HiFi�system�=�HiFi�loudspeaker�system�(option�676)
• Top�HiFi�system�=�HiFi�system�Professional�(option�677).

Thus�the�stereo�system�is�part�of�the�standard�equipment,�which�can�vary�by�market.

The�stereo�system�does�not�require�an�additional�amplifier�and�uses�the�speaker�outputs�of�the�head-
unit.�It�consists�of�a�total�of�six�speakers.�These�are�activated�by�four�channels�from�the�head-unit.

The�HiFi�system�is�equipped�with�an�eight‐channel�amplifier�with�digital�equaliser.�However,�only�seven
of�the�eight�channels�are�used�in�the�HiFi�system.

The�bass�speakers�are�located�under�the�front�seats.�They�are�coupled�to�the�side�sills.�That�increases
the�resonance�volume�necessary�for�bass�reproduction.

The�head-units�CIC�and�CIC�Basic�can�be�combined�with�any�of�the�amplifier/speaker�systems�avail-
able�in�the�relevant�national�markets.

The�HiFi�system�and�Top-HiFi�systems�feature�separate�speakers�for�the�treble�and�mid-range�fre-
quencies.

Even�though�the�diameters�of�the�speakers�in�the�HiFi�and�HiFi�System�Professional�are�the�same,
there�are�differences�in�the�performance�of�the�speakers.�This�is�achieved�by�the�use�of�different�mate-
rials�for�the�diaphragms,�coils�and�magnets.

The�Top�HiFi�system�supports�playback�of�multichannel�formats.�Multichannel�audio�formats�can�be
played�back�with�the�player�in�the�CIC�or�with�the�6x�DVD�changer.

The�HiFi�system�has�twelve�speakers�while�the�Top-HiFi�system�has�16�speakers�each�with�different
auxiliary�amplifiers.
