The concept
Your BMW is equipped with a full preparation 
package mobile phone. After pairing a suitable 
mobile phone with the vehicle once, you can 
operate the mobile phone using iDrive, the but-
tons on the steering wheel, or voice com-
mands
*.
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. The pairing 
data of up to four mobile phones can be stored 
simultaneously. If several mobile phones are 
detected simultaneously, the respective last 
mobile phone paired can be operated via the 
vehicle.
Using a phone in your vehicle
Using snap-in adapter*
The so-called snap-in adapter, a mobile phone 
cradle, enables the battery to be charged and 
the mobile phone to be connected to the exter-
nal antenna of your vehicle. This ensures 
improved network reception and a consistent 
voice reproduction quality. Ask your BMW 
Sports Activity Vehicle Center which mobile 
phones snap-in adapters are offered for.
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 Sports Activity Vehicle 
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 vir-
tue of their particular software versions, these 
mobile phones support the functions described 
in this Owner's Manual. Malfunctions can occur 
with other mobile phones.
Operating options
You can operate the mobile phone using:
>Buttons on the steering wheel, refer to 
page11
>iDrive, refer to page16
>Voice commands
*, refer to page209
>Programmable memory buttons, refer to 
page20
Avoid operating a mobile phone detected by 
the vehicle with the keypad of the mobile 
phone, otherwise malfunctions can occur.
Commissioning
Pairing mobile phone in vehicle

phone is supported by the full mobile phone 
preparation package. Information on this 
subject is also provided on the Internet at:
