E46 Driver Information
Service Mode Functions
1. Serial Number: Display of the radio serial number.
2. Software version: Display of the radio software version. Displayed as (calender week,
year, version)
3. GAL: Speed-sensitive volume control. Can be adjusted from level 1-6 using the 6 preset audio buttons. Vehicles equipped with DSP do not use this feature.
4. Field strength and Quality (F/Q): The station currently displayed can be assessed for
field strength and quality. An “F” (i.e. F15) number is used to indicate the strength of the
signal being received by the radio. This is a good test of the antenna system, station signal, and the radio itself. A “Q” (i.e. Q-00) number is used to determine the quality of the
radio station including both the audio and RDS signal if applicable.
5. DSP: This function provides information about whether the vehicle is fitted with DSP.
The value is displayed as a one (fitted) or zero (not fitted) and is communicated by the DSP
amplifier via the I/K bus.
6. TP Volume: Provides adjustment for traffic report minimum volume. Not used in the
US.
7. AF: Alternative Frequency tracking setting. Not used in the US.
8. Area: Used to select the appropriate market setting (USA, Canada, Europe, Japan and
Oceania). Adjust using the pre-set buttons.

Top-HiFi Amplifier
• Output of sinus tones by means of an internal sine-wave generator (configurable
parameters: frequency, volume, speaker channel)
• Separate control of individual audio channels
Antenna Diagnosis
Antenna diagnostics on the E70 proceeds in the same way as diagnostics on the BMW
3
Series (E90, E91, E92), BMW
5 Series (E60, E61) and BMW
6 Series (E63, E64):
The self-diagnosis procedure for the diversity module is initiated in the diagnosis module
of the BMW
diagnosis system. The self-diagnosis comprises a check of the antenna
inputs based on a DC measurement.
If the check proves positive, each individual FM antenna is switched on one after the
other in a specified sequence and the signal quality evaluated (antenna scan). The AM
reception can be evaluated in the LW, SW and MW range with the AM amplifier switched
on and off. The diagnosis system evaluates the measurements and deduces the status
when the self-diagnosis of the diversity module provides a positive result.
This procedure can also be carried out manually by switching the CHAMP into service
mode:
The signal quality and field strength of the station currently tuned in can be displayed in
service mode.
Service Mode
Service Mode is Accessed as Follows:
• Open Start menu
• Press and hold the controller for at least 10 seconds
• Move the controller 3 stops to the right
• Move the controller 3 stops to the left
• Move the controller 1 stop to the right
