The concept
Your BMW is equipped with a full mobile phone 
preparation package. After pairing a suitable 
mobile phone with the vehicle once, you can 
operate the mobile phone via iDrive, the buttons 
on the steering wheel or via voice commands.
Once a mobile phone has been paired with your 
vehicle, it is automatically recognized as soon 
as it is inside the vehicle while the engine is run-
ning or the ignition is switched on. You can 
store the pairing data for up to four mobile 
phones simultaneously. If several mobile 
phones are detected at the same time, the 
mobile phone last paired can be operated via 
the vehicle.
Using the telephone inside 
the vehicle
Using the snap-in adapter*
The so-called snap-in adapter, a holder for 
mobile phones, allows you to charge the mobile 
phone's battery and connect the mobile phone 
to your vehicle's outside antenna. This ensures 
better network reception and consistent repro-
duction quality. Please contact your 
BMW center to find out for which mobile 
phones there are snap-in adapters available.
For your safety
A car phone makes life more convenient in 
many ways, and can even save lives in an emer-
gency. While you should consult your mobile 
phone's separate operating instructions for a 
detailed description of safety precautions and 
information, we request that you direct your 
particular attention to the following:
Only make entries when the traffic situa-
tion allows you to do so. Do not hold the 
mobile phone in your hand while you are driving; 
use the hands-free system instead. If you do 
not observe this precaution, your being dis-tracted can endanger vehicle occupants and 
other road users.<
Suitable mobile phones
Please ask your BMW center which mobile 
phones with Bluetooth interface are supported 
by the mobile phone preparation package and 
which mobile phones are compatible with the 
snap-in adapter. By virtue of their particular 
software versions, these mobile phones sup-
port the functions described in this Owner's 
Manual. Malfunctions may occur with other 
mobile phones.
Operating options
You can operate the mobile phone* using:
>Buttons on the steering wheel, refer to 
page10
>iDrive, refer to page16
>Voice commands, refer to page177
>Programmable memory keys, refer to 
page20
Avoid operating a mobile phone recognized by 
the vehicle via the mobile phone's keypad, oth-
erwise malfunctions may result.
Start-up
Pairing the mobile phone with the 
vehicle
The following prerequisites must be met:
>Compatible mobile phone: the mobile 
phone is supported by the mobile phone full 
preparation package. You can obtain infor-
mation on the Internet at: www.bmw.com
>The mobile phone is ready to operate.
>Bluetooth is activated in the vehicle, refer to 
page172, and on the mobile phone.

>Certain presettings may be necessary on 
some mobile phones: e.g. using the follow-
ing menu items:
>Bluetooth switched on
>Connection must be allowed without 
requiring further confirmation
>Reconnection
>Depending on the mobile phone type, the 
power-saving mode setting, for example, 
may result in a paired mobile phone not 
being detected by the vehicle.
>For pairing purposes, define any 4 to 16-
digit number as a Bluetooth passkey, 
e.g. 25081107. A long and complex number 
offers the best protection against unautho-
rized access. This Bluetooth passkey is no 
longer required after pairing has been suc-
cessful.
>The ignition is switched on.
Pair the mobile phone with the vehicle 
only when the car is stationary, to avoid 
endangering the car's occupants and other 
road users by being distracted.<
Switch on ignition
1.Insert remote control all the way into the 
ignition lock.
2.Switch on ignition without operating the 
brake or clutch or pressing the start/stop 
button.

Preparation via the mobile phone
6.Further steps must be carried out with the 
mobile phone and vary depending on the 
model. Please refer to your mobile phone's 
operating instructions, e.g. under the topics 
of Searching for a Bluetooth device, Linking 
or Pairing. The Bluetooth name of the vehi-
cle also appears on the mobile phone dis-
play.
7.Select the Bluetooth name of the vehicle on 
the mobile phone display.
Logging in
Depending on your mobile phone, you will see 
messages, first on the mobile phone display or 
on the iDrive, requesting you to enter the same 
Bluetooth passkey previously determined by 
you.
8.Enter the Bluetooth passkey.
Depending on the mobile phone, you will 
have approx. 30 seconds to enter your 
Bluetooth passkey on the mobile phone 
and the Control Display.
If pairing was successful, the mobile phone 
appears at the top of the mobile phone list.
As soon as a mobile phone is detected by the 
vehicle, the phone book entries stored on the 
SIM card or on your mobile phone are transmit-
ted to the vehicle. This data transfer depends 
on your mobile phone and can take several min-
utes; please refer to your mobile phone's oper-
ating instructions, if necessary.
If not all phone book entries are displayed:

Checks to perform if pairing is 
unsuccessful
>Is the mobile phone supported by the 
mobile phone preparation package? You 
can obtain information on the Internet at: 
www.bmw.com.
>Do the Bluetooth passkeys on the mobile 
phone and vehicle match? The same Blue-
tooth passkey must be entered on the 
mobile phone's display and via iDrive.
>Did it take you more than 30 seconds to 
enter the Bluetooth passkey? Then repeat 
the pairing procedure.
>Only a limited number of devices can be 
connected with the mobile phone. If neces-
sary, delete connections with other devices.
>Is the mobile phone no longer responding? 
Switch the mobile phone off and on or 
briefly disconnect the power supply.
Connecting a particular mobile phone
If more than one mobile phone is detected by 
the vehicle, the mobile phone at the top of the 
list is connected. A different mobile phone can 
be connected by selecting it.
iDrive, for operating principle refer to page16.
1."Telephone"
2."Bluetooth"
3.Select the desired mobile phone.
Unpairing the mobile phone from the 
vehicle

Activating/deactivating the Bluetooth 
link
The use of Bluetooth technology is not 
permitted in all countries. Observe all 
applicable local regulations. Temporarily deac-
tivate the Bluetooth link between the vehicle 
and the mobile phone, if necessary.
If the Bluetooth link is deactivated, you can no 
longer operate the mobile phone via the vehicle, 
and other devices with a Bluetooth interface 
can be used in combination with the mobile 
phone, e.g. a laptop.<
