At a glance
The concept
Mobile phones or other external devices such as
audio players can be connected to the vehicle
via Bluetooth.
After these devices are paired once, they are
recognized automatically when the ignition is
switched on as soon as they are inside the ve‐
hicle and can be operated via iDrive, the buttons
on the steering wheel, and via voice activation.
Depending on their functionality, external devi‐
ces can be used via the vehicle as a telephone
or as an audio source.
The telephone functions are described in the
following. Operation of the audio functions, refer
to page 202.
Up to four external devices can be paired.
Certain functions may need to be enabled by the
mobile phone provider or service provider.

Make entries only when traffic and road
conditions allow. Do not hold the mobile phone
in your hand while you are driving; use the

serve this precaution, you can endanger the ve‐
hicle occupants and other road users.◀Snap-in adapter
