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. One 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.

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 that is connected to the MID, they are usually positioned on two of the 4
keys on the right.

See later for full description of the monitor layout as this varies depending on the Nav
computer type and software version.
1.2. Setting the UI Mode

The Intravee UI mode can be set in two ways

1.2.1. Setting the UI mode with a PC
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:
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.

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.

Go Back ‘Back’ labelled Key
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 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
- Professional Tape head units.
- Business CD head units with a ‘CD’ key instead of the ‘MODE’ key.
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
Aux 1
Aux 2
DAB
HD
Sirius
XM
As the names for Sources 1-4 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 4” for
sources 1 through 4 and “Aux 1” and “Aux 2” for Aux 1 and 2.
- Navigate through the list using the Next and Previous actions.
- Selecting 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.
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.
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

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

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.

Setup Display
Scroll Parameters
The speed, start and end delay and number of scroll repeats can be configured to suit
your preferences.
19

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.
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 and some Business head units can
display up to 12 characters. Change this option to set the point at which scrolling
stops, 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 two limitations of this update mode:
1) 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.
2) 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 assigned to non
navigation actions (Next/Prev/Select/Back) then the Intravee will require
connecting to a PC to disable this setting.
20

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, for example:
‘.’
With the current selection displayed within angled braces, for example:
<.>
Abandon selection using the Back action, set the lead character using the Select
action.

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 7 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.
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.

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
32

therefore split into source specific sections followed by Search menu types, a Source
menu section and a Setup section.

The DAB tuner supports 3 banks of 6 presets, 18 in total. You can select the preset
bank by selecting the option from the menu. The selected bank number can be

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.

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.
62

Advanced Search Menu
Figure 45 Advanced Search Menu
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.

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
67

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.

Text Size
Figure 64 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.

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.

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.
93

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.
