Radio/Navigation Unit
The BMW Z8 model is equipped with a multi-function Radio/Navigation Unit which
you may use to place and receive calls in hands-free mode. Calls can be placed via:
•Entering a non-stored number (“manual dialing”).
•If you have previously stored information through your handset (see “Storing
Names and Numbers” in the User Manual), you can use your Radio/Navigation
Unit to dial by name (alphatag).
•Recalling the last ten numbers dialed from the Radio/Navigation Unit.
•Recalling the eight most frequently dialed numbers (Top 8) placed from the
Radio/Navigation Unit.
