• limits overloading of the car's electrical system,
• maintains compatibility with BMW factory electrical architecture.

As an original component, the module is adapted to the operating parameters of the installation in the BMW 5 Series E60/E61, which minimizes the risk of communication errors and disruptions in the operation of the electronics.
