G20 Manuals
My boot has a single wallet containing an ‘Owner’s Handbook’ the BMW 3 Series Saloon and on Page 416 under ‘N’ it states:
Navigation, see Owner’s Handbook for Navigation, Entertainment, Communication 8’ which is not in my boot. The F30 had a separate Manuals. Those who have an G20 please could you check to see if you have a manual for Nav & Comms etc. Thanks! |

Many thanks for your replies!
I have emailed the Dealership asking for the missing Manual. Their response can be guessed! Waffle! Waffle! Waffle! |

That is another question.
I am somewhat disappointed that a CD is missing because how else can you listen to reasonable quality music on the Harmon Kardon System other than the radio? Through memory sticks, your ‘phone? Tell me more! But of course people nowadays are not interested in quality music, it’s just got to make a loud noise and it’s fantastic! The days of Hi Fi are long gone! So it’ll be no CD! BMW are just trying to be modern! |

I have downloaded from vinyls on to memory sticks and tape and all been very disappointing. What you hear on the headphones whilst downloading is not what the memory stick etc can produce. CD's were just about acceptable. But vinyl is making a comeback as there is nothing really to match it. Am certainly going to try a 'Flac' file. Thanks! |

Don't understand why bmw doesn't make a manual available for download on their website. Why do you have to provide a VIN# . If you don't own a car yet you can easily get a vin # from any dealers website when browsing inventory. Just a pain.

In the F30, you could download a pdf handbook for the infotainment... makes sense really as they change regularly...
As for making digital files from your vinyl, then that simply sounds like you ripped to compressed files... what equipment did you use..? The quality of CD'd and vinyl comes down, basically, to mix and mastering... early CD's that had the vinyl mixes on them were shocking... but, now, vinyl versions of music that is mixed and mastered for digital formats is equally shocking... bottom line, each musical format should be treated differently but rarely is...

Just look up for any that are on sale. The dealerships usually have a VIN listed.

Its called digitalisation...paperless systems...
On my last car I used to play FLAC files until I switched to Spotify. In my F10 I used to play AAC lossless and WMA lossless somehow the Combox fitted to my 2010 model had the hidden ability to decode WMA and AAC lossless. Does the G20 have this?
