Complete E90 Radio/Headunit choices - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

In german, but not difficult to make out which radio and what functions they are referring to. As far as I know the US and Euro spec radios are the same. If anyone knows otherwise, please let us know.

I believe we get the "professional" line of either the standard radio or the navigation. if someone knows otherwise please correct me

Yeah..I think we get the professional versions of both..you right...i thought i read that somewhere

My U.S. spec E90 in England has the Navigation system. I had to get the Professional version of the DVD instead of the Business version. The only thing that I have a problem with regarding the radio is that it steps in 200 KHz increments where the U.K. (and presumably those on the continent) version steps in 100 KHz. I can't pick up my local radio station as it is on xx.2 and my radio goes .1, .3, .5, .7, .9.

USA and Europe get a different radio unit with Nav

Hmm, USA non-iDrive professional head unit made by Alpine.. everything else I'd seen said it was Harman. 4 different manufacturers for 4 units, seems odd.

Ja, you are correct. The U.S. does not get either ,,business`` radio, only the ,,Professional`` models.

I believe you can change the magnitudes of the increments via the hidden menu in the radio (by holding the "m" button) Have to experiment around as I did not try before.

Edit: Didn't know you have the Professional Navi. The above applies to non-idrive professional unit.
