Yes there is. You have to activate PERSPECTIVE view on the system (select SET, hold down MENU for 8 secs, activate Perspective) and use within the map (appropriate selection)

Thanks for the tips. I have found the flashlight and the hidden electrical socket. But I couldn't get armrest to move forward. I have tried pressing to the top button and pulling the button underneath but it just opens up the top and bottom console. Couldn't get it to slide.

EDIT: It's a 2006 3.0i

Pull up on the button underneath and give it a good push from behind to slide forward, it might have just been stuck there for a long time.

Thanks for the reply. Didn't want to force it as I didn't want to break it. I will try it and let you know.

No need to pull up on the button...just give it a good shove either backwards or forward until the stops are engaged.

Is it possible to get the map detail down to 200ft? I saw it on my friend's E46 M3 navi but I can only get down to 400ft. Anyone?

Double click forward when open.....glass and shade will close at same time


Any sunroof

Also when open:

push the sunroof button straight up as to open VENT position....will also close the roof.

if the sunroof is in ven position, you can't fully close the shade. I think so that you don't forget it
