CD Changer: Description and Operation

Audio CD Changer

The audio CD changer on the E65/E66 has the same features and mechanical structure as its equivalent in E38 / E39, it is produced by Alpine.

This is a 6-way-changer with magazine (1). It is installed on the passenger side in the instrument panel, behind a decorative strip. If you press the eject key and use the powered flap control, you can control the insertion and removal of the magazine from the driver and the passenger side.




A new feature of the CD changer is the optical connection to the MOST bus. The CD changer is controlled via the MOST bus interface and sends its digital audio signals over it.

The audio signals are sent to the ASK which transmits them via the amplifier and then to the loudspeakers.

To operate the CD changer, you can use the following options:

- Controller and Control display
- ASK and MFL
- Voice input

The CD changer has diagnostic capabilities in the Diagnosis Program via MOST.
