1. Introduction

The Intravee is designed to provide full control and display capability for Alpine AI-Net components use the

BMW or Rover OEM audio system. As far as possible the interface looks and feels as though it was original

BMW or Rover equipment.

1.1. User Interface Mode

Due to the wide range of different head units supplied in BMW and Rover cars, the Intravee has different

User Interface (UI) modes to enable the maximum use to be made of the available features. By default the

Intravee will automatically try to determine the correct UI mode so setting the UI should not be required.

On changing from a system with one UI mode to another system with a different UI mode it may take the

Intravee up to 30 seconds to switch to the new UI mode. Once set the UI mode will remain set until a different system configuration is detected.

1.1.1. UI Mode 1

Single Line text on the Professional Navigation system. Normally this mode is not used for the navigation system, however cars equipped for the Japanese market do not support the menu area that the Intravee normally uses.

1.1.2. UI Mode 2

Single line text on E46, E83 (X3) and E85 (Z4) Business Tape, CD or MD head units. Mini ‘Boost’ Tape, CD or

MD Head units.

With the some Business Navigation systems, when the radio is tuned to FM mode, only 9 characters will be displayed by the Intravee in most cases and not 11. If the AM band is selected before selecting the

Intravee source then the full 11 characters will be displayed.

1.1.4. UI Mode 4

Single line text on the E38, E39, E53 (X5) and Range Rover MID (Multi Information Display) and IRIS

(Integrated Radio Information System).

On the MID, the location of the ‘Back’ and ‘Sel’ keys is dependent on the type of radio module and media player that is connected to the MID, they will be positioned on two of the 6 keys on the right, they are usually, but not always, next to one another. Some options are shown below, the MID unit is the same in all cases shown, only the radio module on top is different.

Figure 5 Various MID layouts

The various radio modules refresh the MID key labels in different ways.

Some only update those labels that require changing, resulting in minimal flicker as the Intravee updates them. This can be taken to an extreme on some radios with the ‘SC’ or Scan key, if the radio module uses

3

the same key for Scan on the CDC as SCAN on FM/AM then when switching back to AM/FM from the

Intravee the ‘Sel’ prompt may still be displayed.

Other radio modules, for example the MP3 capable CD radio, redisplay all the key labels when ever any one is changed, this can result in moderate display flicker as the Intravee overwrites the key labels

With the Intravee connected to a PC via a serial port connection, either a native serial port or a USB/Serial adapter and a 9 pin ‘D’ extension serial cable, the UI mode can be set using any terminal emulation program or the Intravee downloader program by issuing the command setui X where X is the required UI mode. Issuing this command will disable the Intravee auto detect mode. Auto detect mode can be re-enabled using the command setui auto

1.2.2. Setting the UI mode with the head unit

If you cannot connect a PC to the Intravee then the UI can be set from the head unit using a special key press sequence.

First, select the Intravee as the source using the MODE key on your head unit. Next, with a gap of 1 second between key presses, do the following:

5

• Turn the radio off

• Turn the radio on

• Press the Prev button < on the head unit

• Press the Next button > on the head unit

• Turn the radio off

• Turn the radio on

You should have about 1 second between each button press, if it does not work then change your timing a bit and try again.

When in UI selection mode the track number will indicate the UI number that will be set and the CD number will display CD 9 to indicate that the Intravee is in UI setup mode.

To change the UI use the < and > buttons to change the track to the required UI mode between 1 and 6, when done press the SCAN button (or the Clock, Tape Reverse or Dolby button on Nav) to set the selection. On the Mini, Z4 and X3 you need to enter the 'Sel' menu and select the 'SCAN' option as these head units have no physical 'SCAN' key.

The Intravee should reboot, the new UI should be set.

Setting the UI directly will disable the Intravee auto detect mode, this can only be re-enabled by connecting the Intravee to a PC.

6

2. Single Line display UI Modes 1,2,3 and 4

The Intravee menu is controlled using 4 navigation keys to select Next and Previous items on the current menu, to select a new menu or perform the desired action and to exit the menu. These actions are called

Next, Previous, Select and Go Back.

The keys that are used depend on the head unit type and thus the UI mode.

On some head units the SCAN or Rnd key action may be performed by using a long key press of another key. Although the above keys will always perform the actions described, it is also possible to program any of the assignable keys to any of the above actions.

As the < and > keys on the head unit are used for menu navigation, when navigating any menu it is not possible to change tracks with these keys. The < and > keys on the head unit will only change tracks while

7

the Intravee is displaying the Now Playing menu. If you have a Multi Function Wheel then the < and > keys can be assigned so that they always perform the Next or Previous track action.

2.1. The double key press issue

Some of the older Business and Professional head units require a key to be pressed to clear any text that is displayed before any key will perform an action. The easiest way to work around this behaviour is to double press the keys – the first press clears the text, the second key is acted upon.

The double key press issue is exhibited by several older E46 head units, in particular:

• Business Tape head units with no ‘soft’ key options to the right of the main LCD

• Business CD head units with a ‘CD’ key instead of the ‘MODE’ key.

• Professional Tape and CD head units.

The issue only occurs when using the keys on the head unit, if the car is fitted with the multifunction wheel, then those keys can be used without having to press them twice. It is advisable to assign the navigation commands to the wheel keys, if available and no phone is installed, to make control easier with one of these head units.

2.2.2. Main Menu

The Main Menu can always be select by continued selection of the ‘Go Back’ action.

The first item on the Main Menu is the ‘Intravee’ item. By selecting this item you can enter the Source

Selection menu, or if you have only one source connected to the Intravee, directly to the Source type specific menu.

The subsequent menu options of Setup, Diagnostics, Status and About will enter the less commonly used menus used to configure the Intravee and obtain information about your Intravee.

2.2.3. Source Selection Menu

If the Intravee detects that you have multiple sources connected, for example an AI-Net switch or a Tuner module, then selecting the ‘Intravee’ option will enter the source selection menu.

The menu contains a list of sources that have been detected and will be a selection from the following list:

Source 1

Source 2

Source 3

Source 4

Source 5

Source 6

Aux 1

Aux 2

DAB

HD

Sirius

XM

As the names for Sources 1-6 and Aux 1-2 can be defined by the user the actual text displayed cannot be specified here, the defaults are “Net 1” through “Net 6” for sources 1 through 6 and “Aux 1” and “Aux 2” for Aux 1 and 2.

• Navigate through the list using the Next and Previous actions.

• Executing the ‘Select’ actions will select the currently displayed source and enter its source specific menu.

• Selecting the ‘Go Back’ action will return to the ‘Intravee’ option.

The Aux type source has no options, thus when selecting an Aux type source the Source selection menu will remain displayed.

When switching between the AI-Net ports on an AI-Net switch (KCA-400c, KCA-410c or Intravee switch) it will take a few seconds for the Intravee to determine the source type, while the source type is unknown the display will show “Src: ...”.

2.2.4. Searching

When using an iPod or an MP3 CD/DVD Changer the Intravee can search for one item while playing another. For iPod this includes Playlists, Artists, Albums and Songs. For MP3 CDs and DVDs this includes

Folders and Files.

Using the > or < keys will select the next and previous items, a long key press of > or < will advance or go back 10 items at a time, the display will show “+10” or “-10” briefly.

In order to improve search capability several features, some optional, are available.

Auto Song Search

When Auto Song Search is enabled the Intravee will automatically enter Song search mode on the selection of a Playlist or Album. Song search mode is not entered into on selecting an Artist as the KCA-420i will automatically enter Sub-Album search mode. When using an MP3 CD Changer File search will be entered from Folder search.

Percentage Search

When the Percentage Search feature is enabled the 1-6 keys on the head unit are used to enable more rapid searching of longer lists of Songs, Playlists, Artists, Albums, Folders and Files.

Percentage search is only active while in a search menu and will then override the assigned actions for the number keys if activated.

Pressing the number keys will cause the search location to jump to a predefined point, approximately 1/6 th of the length of the search list for each numerical increment.

Reset Key Defaults

Selecting this option resets all key actions to their default values.

Setup Display

Scroll Parameters

The speed, start and end delay and number of scroll repeats can be configured to suit your preferences.

21

Start Delay

The time between the text first being displayed and scrolling starting.

Speed

The time between each character scroll.

End Delay

The time between the last character of the displayed text being scrolled into view and the re-display of the first set of characters.

Repeats

The number of times scrolling will repeat. This can be set to Infinite which will cause the scrolling to continue until the text changes.

NP Timeout

A duration in seconds may be specified which control the time taken for the Intravee to revert back to the

Now Playing display after a period of inactivity. The duration may be between 10 and 120 seconds or

‘Disabled’, if set to ‘Disabled’ the Intravee will never revert back to the Now Playing display automatically.

Display Length

Most head units that use the single line UI can display up to 11 characters. However some UI3 head units will only display 8 characters while the tuner is in FM mode and some Business head units can display up to

12 characters. Change this option to set the point at which scrolling stops and the number of characters the Intravee will attempt to display, the value may be between 1 and 20, the default is 11.

Fast Update (UI2 Only)

UI2 is unique in that the radio module and button board are integrated. This means that the radio module does not report all key presses over the iBus, only those that are relevant to the CD Changer device, it does however indirectly report that some key has been pressed, with no information on which key.

When Fast Update is selected the Intravee will immediately refresh the text it is displaying when it detects a key press, this gives much more reliable screen updates and a more consistent display.

There are however three limitations of this update mode:

• The Intravee will immediately overwrite the Tone display making changing the Bass, Treble, Balance and Fader quite hard. To prevent the user from having to set and reset this option when changing the tone settings, the feature is inactive on the main ‘Intravee’ menu option. Thus, to change the tone, select the ‘Intravee’ menu option first.

• On some Business head units when switching source from the Intravee to FM/AM radio, the Intravee will overwrite the initial radio display. Changing band or frequency is necessary to restore the correct display.

• On Business head units that have the ‘double key press’ issue, selecting this option will make navigation using the head unit keys impossible, all keys will become inoperable. Keys on the multifunction wheel will still work. If there is no multifunction wheel or the wheel keys have been

22

assigned to non navigation actions (Next/Prev/Select/Back) then the Intravee will require connecting to a PC to disable this setting.

Lead Char (UI2 Only)

When displaying text the radio automatically removes any leading space characters, this can cause jerky scrolling when the text to scroll contains spaces. For example, the text “This contains spaces” would be displayed as follows:

“This contains spaces”

“his contains spaces”

“is contains spaces”

“s contains spaces”

“contains spaces”

“contains spaces”

“ontains spaces”

When the scrolling reaches the end of the word it will jump two characters, and then remain there for two character increments.

The work around for this is to replace a lead space character with another character to prevent it being removed. Due to the different characteristics of different head units the best character to use differs. The default lead character is the ‘.’ (full stop) character, as this works on all head units and is relatively inconspicuous. However, some head units display a space for other character values, if this space is not a

‘true’ space it is not removed and the display will scroll smoothly.

You can use the Lead Char menu to display all the characters that your head unit is capable of and choose the best character for your display. Scroll through the characters using the < and > keys, each character will be displayed within single quotes followed by its numerical ID, for example:

‘.’ 46

With the current selection displayed within angled braces, for example:

<.> 46

Abandon selection using the Back action, set the lead character using the Select action.

These functions may or may not work on any particular vehicle, in some cases activating a particular feature may cause alternative actions to be performed.

Disclaimer

Intravention Electronics take no responsibility whatsoever for the effect the use of any of these options may have on the vehicle in which the Intravee is installed. Although extensive testing has been performed, there is a small possibility that the use of some options on some types of car may have undesirable effects. Use these features at your own risk.

Known Issues :

- Using the Mirror folding options on some X5’s with the E38/E39 vehicle type selected may cause the front windows to open and close instead of the mirrors folding and unfolding.

Setup Clock (UI1 and 3 Only)

The Intravee can automatically synchronise your car clock with the GPS time signal broadcast from the Nav computer. As the GPS time signal is always broadcast in UTC (GMT) you must tell the Intravee which Time

Zone and Daylight Savings you are using to set the clock correctly.

Auto Set

Enable or disable the auto clock setting feature.

Time Zone

Set the Time Zone offset in hours from UTC (GMT).

Daylight Savings

The current Daylight Savings Time setting, the value can be incremented by 1 hour by selecting the option.

The option “Use RDS” is also available, when this option is selected the Intravee will try to determine your time zone from the data transmitted through the radio RDS system. When “Use RDS” is selected the Time

Zone display changes to be an offset from UTC, this may be adjusted manually, but will be changed by any time offset data from the radio RDS system. If you live near a time zone boundary we would advise that you do not use this feature.

Time

The current adjusted time from the GPS signal.

25

Date

The current adjusted date from the GPS signal.

Status

The current status of the Intravee clock setting mechanism, this may be one of three states :

• Update Now – Select the option to initialise a one off time update.

• Waiting – The Intravee is waiting for a GPS time signal code.

• Updating – The Intravee has received the time signal and is waiting to set the clock on the exact minute.

Fold Mirrors

The Intravee can be set to fold the car mirrors on one of the listed status events. The electric folding mirror option is a pre-requisite for this option. The options are :

Off

On Lock Hold

On Lock

On Key Out

If the Intravee module has entered sleep mode (no iBus activity for 1 minute) then it is possible that it will

‘miss’ the status change and the mirrors will not be folded.

Unfold Mirrors

The Intravee can be set to unfold the car mirrors on one of the listed status events. The electric folding mirror option is a pre-requisite for this option. For the Intravee to unfold the mirrors, the mirrors must have been folded by the Intravee. The options are:

On Unlock

On Key In

On Acc.

On Ign.

If the Intravee module has entered sleep mode (no iBus activity for 1 minute) then it is possible that it will

‘miss’ the status change and the mirrors will not be unfolded. For this reason the event points are hierarchical, for example if the ‘On Unlock’ option is selected and the key is inserted into the ignition then the mirrors will be unfolded.

3. Multi Line Menu UI Mode 6

The Intravee menu is controlled in the same way as the other menus and screens on the Nav monitor, by rotating the right rotary control to highlight an item and then pressing it to select the item. For most screens the item is highlighted using box around the text, the exceptions to this are the Fast Search and

Advanced search screens. On the Fast Search screen the selected item is displayed in the lightly shaded area above the menu area of the screen. On the Advanced Search screen the selected item is identified by a diamond character on the left side.

The Intravee is designed to work with the Navigation system in either Split screen or full screen mode as set in the Nav software settings menu. The standard Search screen used by the Intravee will always be displayed Full screen.

Figure 10 BMW Settings Menu

The Nav settings menu displays the software version in the top right corner, this must be 4-1/40 or higher for the Advanced search and Now Playing screen (the Now Playing Menu is available with all software versions) to function.

When you use the Mode button or the < and > keys while the Nav map, Nav computer or main Menu are displayed, the BMW system switches automatically to the Audio screen for a few seconds. Using the

Intravee menus in this state is not easy as it tends to switch back as you read the options on the menu. It is strongly recommended that you only navigate the Intravee menus when you have explicitly switched to the audio screen using the button with two overlapping rectangles (next to the Info button in the above picture of the E46 Nav screen).

3.2. Initial Setup

3.2.1. Nav System Setup

The default setting for the Intravee when manufactured is for the BMW Split screen Nav software,

Software CD V18 or higher. Most variants of the Nav system and radio module should work well enough to change the settings from the Nav screen menus. In some cases the menus may disappear if the wrong Nav type is selected, toggling to the map and back using the ‘rectangles’ button should restore the menus.

Although the basic menu system should work in any mode on any Nav system type, some features will not work correctly unless the correct type is selected.

35

When in Auto UI detection mode, the Intravee will attempt to determine the correct Nav system type when it first detects that a Nav system is installed. If the Nav system is upgraded or the Intravee is transferred to a car with a different Nav system then the Intravee will not automatically detect this change.

TV Module

Unless set correctly the menu titles and search selections will not display. Field 0, the large text at the top of the display, will not be updated correctly (see the Headers section for more details on field areas). This area is used to display menu titles and the current search item information so it is important to configure this option correctly. Due to the possibility of the Nav computer crashing and the TV module taking over the UI, the Intravee monitors the Nav computer, if it detects that it has stopped responding it will automatically enable TV mode, although this will not be reflected on the settings menu.

Mk 1, Mk 2 and Mk 3 Nav computers with Software 3-1/31 or lower

Unless set correctly Field 0, the large text at the top of the display will not be updated correctly (see the

Headers section for more details on field areas).

Mk 3 Nav computers with Software 3-1/40 or higher and Mk 4 Nav computers

Fields may be truncated unnecessarily, text size of Field 0 cannot be controlled (see the Headers section for more details on field areas) and the screen may not be updated correctly.

Mk 4 Nav computers with Software 4-1/40 or higher

Unless set correctly the static Now Playing screen and Advanced search features will not be available. The screen may not be updated correctly.

3.2.2. BMW Mini

The BMW Mini Nav system is different to the BMW Nav system in that there is no Radio module that controls the Nav display, the radio is a standard Boost head unit. Because of this there is normally no

‘Audio’ display on the Nav screen and no way to switch between it and the Map display. To achieve full control the ‘Rnd’ button on the Mini radio has be used to toggle between the Intravee display and the normal Nav display. This action is also assignable to any user assignable key.

3.3. Intravee Menu Reference

Many of the Intravee menus are source type specific, only the Setup menu and its sub menus will be the same regardless of the configuration. The menu reference is therefore split into source specific sections followed by Search menu types, a Source menu section and a Setup section.

Dynamic Range

DAB broadcasts have a much larger Dynamic Range (difference in volume between the loudest and quietest sound) than FM or AM radio broadcasts. In a car environment it may be desirable to compress the dynamic range so that the quieter sections are played back slightly louder and the loudest sections are played back slightly quieter. Dynamic Range is typically more noticeable when listening to Classic music, many DAB broadcasts already reduce the dynamic range. BBC Radio 3 is an example of a station that does not generally reduce the Dynamic Range.

Selecting the Dynamic Range option to ON will reduce the Dynamic Range.

Auto Store

Selecting the Auto Store option will cause the DAB tuner to scan all frequencies, which will take several seconds. The first station from each received multiplex will then be stored sequentially in each of the presets.

DAB Station Secondary Service

DAB radio station can broadcast a secondary service component in addition to their main component. The secondary service is usually only transmitted for specific events or when the main station has different programs for different analogue transmissions. Examples of the Secondary service include BBC Radio 4 which can transmit different programs on Long Wave and FM and BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra which is broadcast as a secondary service for Radio 5 Live when there are multiple sporting events.

When a secondary service is detected the Intravee will display the small letter ‘s’ after the MUX ID, for example “12Bs”. When a secondary service is available selecting the next station will select the secondary service. When the secondary service is selected the MUX ID will change to display a large letter ‘S’ after the MUX ID, for example “12BS”. When the secondary service is selected the previous station command will select the primary service and the next station command will select the next station.

3.3.8. Search Menu type

The type of search menu depends how your Intravee is setup in the ‘Search Setup’ menu. Standard Search and Fast Search are available on all systems, Advanced Search is only available on Mk IV Nav computers with version 4-1/40 software or higher.

Standard Search Menu

Figure 47 Standard Search Menu

The standard search menu allows you to move forwards or backwards through the list of selectable items either 1 at a time or ‘n’ at a time, where ‘n’ is 5, 10, 20 or 50. The value of ‘n’ can be changed by performing a long key press on the ‘Back n’ or ‘Forward n’ options. The current selection is shown above the menu on the left together with the current item number and total number of items on the right.

64

Fast Search Menu

Figure 48 Fast Search Menu

The fast search menu has one menu option which indicates the type of search. Clicking this option selects the current item, a long click on the item cancels the search. Search may also be cancelled by selecting the

‘Back’ item that is the first item in the search list. The current item, current item number and total items are displayed above the menu area. Selection is made by turning the right rotary controller, the direction in which the list is changed depends on the setup mode of the rotary controller from the ‘Setup Keys’ menu.

Advanced Search Menu

Figure 49 Advanced Search Menu

65

The advanced search menu displays a list of 4 items, the previous, current, next and next but 1 items.

Scroll through the items by turning the rotary controller, make a selection by clicking the rotary controller and cancel the search with a long click on the controller or by selecting the ‘Back’ option from the top of the list. The direction that the list is scrolled depends on the setup mode of the rotary controller from the

‘Setup Keys’ menu.

The Intravee implements an exponential acceleration feature so that the faster the turn the rotary controller, the faster you progress through the list. However, there is bug in the BMW nav computer code that reports the speed with which the controller is turned, if it is turned too quickly it is reported as having been turned slowly. With a little practice you will get to know the optimum turn speed of the controller.

3.3.9. Source Menu

Figure 50 Source Menu

The Source menu is available only if the Intravee has detected more than one source.

The content of the menu will depend on the number of sources detected. The menu may contain up to 6

Ai-Net sources when a 2 cascaded KCA-400c AI-Net switches are connected, up to 2 Aux sources when a

KCA-410c AI-Net switch is connected and a DAB, HD, XM or Sirius source if a tuner is connected. If a switch is detected than the switch type will be displayed in the top right above the menu area.

3.3.10. Setup Menu

The Intravee allows extensive customisation and setup options so that you can change the default settings and make the Intravee work the way you want it to. You can change the way the display is configured and the actions performed by pressing the keys on your head unit or Multi Function wheel.

Figure 55 Source Naming Menu

The top right of the Source Naming menu will display the name of the current source. iPod AutoName

When checked the iPod Autoname option will automatically set the source name to the name of an iPod when connected. If the iPod name has been set then un-checking this option will leave the source set to the current name until it is changed again.

Set Src Name

Sets the currently selected source name according to its type. Supported options are :

MP3 Changer

CD Changer iPod

The name of a source can also be set through the Intravee PC consol interface using the ssnX Text command, where X is the source number and Text is the name you want to apply to the source.

For the KCA-400c the values for X correspond to :

Net 1 = 1

Net 2 = 2

Net 3 = 3

Net 4 = 4

70

For the KCA-410c the values for X correspond to :

Net 1 = 1

Net 2 = 2

Aux 1 = 3

Aux 2 = 4

For example, to name the Aux 1 port on a KCA-410c to ‘DVD Player’ you would issue the following consol command : ssn3 DVD Player

To reset the sources name to the default of Net 1-4 and Aux 1-2 use the ssnX command with no Text parameter.

For example : ssn3

Will reset the name of source 3 to its default value of Net 3 or Aux 1.

Figure 69 Text Size

The size of the text displayed in the top section of the display can be set to either Auto, Large or Small.

When the Auto option is selected the text will be displayed in the large font if it will fit, otherwise the small font will be used. A setting of Large or Small will force the text so that it is always displayed in the selected size. The standard BMW messages displayed in this area, such as Radio station names, use the equivalent of the Auto setting, which, as the messages have a maximum of either 8 or 11 characters, almost always results in the Large font. When using the Intravee, the Auto setting will usually result in the smaller font being used.

This option is only available with the Split Screen software.

Setup Keys

Figure 71 Setup Keys

Various keys on the head unit and Multi Function Wheel can have a configurable action assigned to them.

When changing the action a ‘Search’ type menu is used, the type of menu will depend on how you have setup the search options.

Each key is configurable by source type, that is to say that the key can be setup to perform different actions for each type of source, iPod, CD Changer, Radio and Aux. When entering the configuration for each key the currently selected source type determines the source type that is configured. Selecting a key action that is common to all source types will set the action for all source types.

Extras

The extras menu contains various options that are not directly related to the main function of the Intravee.

These functions may or may not work on any particular vehicle, in some cases activating a particular feature may cause alternative actions to be performed.

Disclaimer

Intravention Electronics take no responsibility whatsoever for the effect the use of any of these options may have on the vehicle in which the Intravee is installed. Although extensive testing has been performed, there is a small possibility that the use of some options on some types of car may have undesirable effects. Use these features at your own risk.

Known Issues :

- Using the Mirror folding options on some X5’s with the E38/E39 vehicle type selected may cause the front windows to open and close instead of the mirrors folding and unfolding.

Time Zone

The current Time Zone setting, the value can be incremented by ½ hour by selecting the option.

Daylight Saving Time

The current Daylight Savings Time setting, the value can be incremented by 1 hour by selecting the option.

The option “Use RDS” is also available, when this option is selected the Intravee will try to determine your time zone from the data transmitted through the radio RDS system. When “Use RDS” is selected the Time

Zone display changes to be an offset from UTC, this may be adjusted manually, but will be changed by any time offset data from the radio RDS system. If you live near a time zone boundary we would advise that you do not use this feature.

98

Auto Set

The option to automatically set the clock when the Intravee receives a GPS time signal from the Nav. computer.

Update Now

Causes the time to be updated at the next available opportunity.

The Clock Setup menu allows you to synchronise the car clock with the highly accurate clock signal available to the GPS system. As the GPS clock is always set to UTC it is necessary to enter a time zone offset and Daylight saving time offset. To change the offsets, select the TZ and DST options.

To have the car time automatically set to the GPS time, plus or minus the TZ and DST offsets, check the

AutoSet menu option.

The current GPS time and date are displayed on the right side of the menu, after first starting the car the time may be wrong as the GPS time signal must be received from the GPS satellites. If no GPS time is being received then the Nav computer falls back to using the car clock time, this can cause the car clock time to be set incorrectly as the DST and TZ offsets will be applied incorrectly.

You may perform a manual time update by clicking the Update Now menu item.

The status item will indicate the state of the clock setting routine. The car clock can only be set in units of minutes, as the GPS signal contains a seconds element the Intravee will wait until the exact minute before setting the car clock.

GPS Date

Status

Fold Mirrors

Figure 83 Fold Mirrors Menu

The Intravee can be set to fold the car mirrors on one of the listed status events. The electric folding mirror option is a pre-requisite for this option.

‘miss’ the status change and the mirrors will not be folded.

Unfold Mirrors

Figure 84 Unfold Mirrors Menu

100

The Intravee can be set to unfold the car mirrors on one of the listed status events. The electric folding mirror option is a pre-requisite for this option. For the Intravee to unfold the mirrors, the mirrors must have been folded by the Intravee.

If the Intravee module has entered sleep mode (no iBus activity for 1 minute) then it is possible that it will

‘miss’ the status change and the mirrors will not be unfolded. For this reason the event points are hierarchical, for example if the ‘On Unlock’ option is selected and the key is inserted into the ignition then the mirrors will be unfolded.
