Pdf copy of the Navigation/Entertainment/Communication manual

When I picked up the car there was only one booklet available. I asked the genius who said the nav/entertain/comm manual is only available on the app.

I tried to ask BMW Australia for a .pdf copy who said that can't be provided.

The closest I have found is to download one from BMWUSA but obviously it's not the exact thing for our country.

Anyone managed to procure a pdf version and willing to share?

Thanks

When he said it was on the App, he would have meant that you can download the full PDF file to the Drivers Guide App.
They are under "PDF manuals"[IMG]undefined[/IMG]

Thanks.

Yes, I can download the pdf from the app but my (Android) phone will not allow me to save or forward on email for printing elsewhere.

I haven't tried an iPhone to see if the result is the same however..

Yes, that's correct. You can read it on any other device with the App though.
If you need a couple of pages on paper, you could screenshot and then print?

Certainly can screenshot things TikiTourer...

Call me old fashioned wanting to actually flip a physical manual... From a superficial glance the difference between the Australian and US manuals is the radio modes - DAB vs Sirus XM

I'm just old...and I'm happy to get rid of paper manuals. There may be a way to get access to the file as it's downloaded as a file into the App somewhere. I'll investigate.
Yes, I think that would be the only difference between the manuals.
