Hi everyone, I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with a few questions I have about the X6 I just picked up. I have a 2010 ActiveHybrid that came with keys only; no manuals or accessories (if any were included) and I'm trying to figure out a few things:

- How do I get the navigation system to repeat the last set of directions?

- What is the small pocket for on the left side inside the glove compartment?

- What is the protruding piece of plastic (plug?) on the right, forward part inside the center console?

- What manuals or booklets or accessories (iPod adapter?) should have been included with the vehicle; i.e., such as in a new vehicle?

Answers to any of these are appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks for the link! I had given up on finding the link to the manual until you provided it.

Any idea on how I can get an original warranty booklet and a maintenance logbook?

Did you buy from a BMW dealer? I'm sure they have a few laying around.

I can answer some.....

- What is the small pocket for on the left side inside the glove compartment? Flashlight but doesn't come with the car.

- What is the protruding piece of plastic (plug?) on the right, forward part inside the center console?
this is to add phone cradle if you want to use the roof antenna with your phone and charge it. cradles is not included with car.

- What .....accessories (iPod adapter?) should have been included with the vehicle; i.e., such as in a new vehicle?
depending on the what electronic package it was ordered originally , there is a "Y" cable that would allow you to plug in ipod so you can use steering wheel buttons to changes track, sound etc.
about all I know.
