BMW 7 Series: System Overview

The following pages show the input/outputs and the schematic circuit diagrams of the F01/F02 voice input and activation systems.

The driver's side microphone is the only device used for voice input.

Voice input is always activated by pressing the PTT button (push-to-talk button) on the steering wheel.

The control units, sensors, control elements and components involved in the system are shown in the input/output diagrams. A block diagram representation of a specific control unit is additionally shown.

The input/output diagram provides an overview of the system in the form of a signal flow diagram. It does not indicate whether the signals are sent via busses, other control units, hard wiring or by wireless means. This detailed information can be found in the schematic circuit diagram.

The graphic representation is always followed by the corresponding legend which can be found either under the graphic or on the next page.

For the sake of clarity the various individual speakers are not shown in the schematic circuit diagrams.

6. Microphone (driver's side)
7. Car Information Computer (CIC)
8. Central gateway module (ZGM)
9. Multifunction steering wheel (MFL)

The voice input function is always implemented in the CIC.

The DVD changer serves as an example of the other voice-activated systems that can be controlled.

The wheel speed signals are used for speed- dependent volume control.

Volume can be adjusted by means of the multifunction steering wheel and the IHKA/audio control unit. Speedrelated volume control is also active.

The microphone is connected to the TCU and the telephone commands are processed by the telephone control unit and made available on the MOST bus.
