How to Pair Your Bluetooth Device With Your BMW
To connect your phone and car:

- Go to the Bluetooth menu on your phone and look for nearby devices two minutes after you start your car.

- For verification that pairing was successful, check your iDrive menu.
Dumb question… Because Telephone does not appear as a menu option on the navigation screen, I recently bought a 2009 335 coupe that I mistakenly believed did not have bluetooth. However, BMW Assist does appear as a choice. In the overview of BMW Assist, it is stated that hands-free phoning is included. Does that imply that I do, in fact, have Bluetooth?
I recently saw another article regarding using BMW assist. If I did so, would the telephone appear? Why would I even want to turn on BMW Assist if I don’t actually have bluetooh?
A wireless module that is already built into your automobile is used by BMW Assist. If you are in an accident or require roadside help, you can use this module to call BMW Assist, and since it won’t be utilizing your cell phone, the call will be made hands-free.
I believe that every BMW comes with a cellular module for BMW Assist, but this module can only be used to call BMW Assist. You do not automatically have Bluetooth, which you would use to pair your phone with the vehicle, just because you have BMW Assist.
Whether you have Bluetooth or not, you should turn on BMW Assist for safety reasons. BMW Assist can contact for assistance if you are unconscious after a collision and need roadside assistance, even if you don’t have your phone with you.
A bluetooth is present if the SOS button is located next to the sunroof button. When I purchased my 2011 BMW 328i, I assumed it had a bluetooth. I did a lot of reading and ended up taking my phone to the dealer because I couldn’t figure out how to pair it. I said, “Why do I have the call button on my steering wheel?” when they claimed I had no SOS button. That ought to have been dropped because it serves no purpose.
I appreciate everyone’s information. It appears that I do not have bluetooth at all. I might attempt to install it later, but I already spent all of my money on rims for the near future.
I’m considering a secondhand 335i, however I’m unsure if it has bluetooth. The used car dealer only really knows that the car has the sports package and that it is around three hours distant from me. I observed that the steering wheel in the image has a phone icon on it. If so, does that imply Bluetooth? Are there any obvious indicators that it includes a premium package, too? Are there any other telltale signs besides gazing in the rearview mirror?
Just ask the salesperson whether it has an’sos’ bmw assist button and three buttons on the mirror. Have you spoken with the dealer?
The SOS button is located in the center of the headliner trim; the three buttons in the mirror are just for Homelink and do not imply the presence of Bluetooth; only the Premium Package has both Homelink and Bluetooth Assist.
You can either press the button on your steering wheel or the SOS button. If you have it, a beep or other notification should indicate that you haven’t paired a phone.
Wireless technology interface for Bluetooth (r).
As soon as you get inside your car, it will establish a Bluetooth connection with your smartphone or tablet computer (assuming the tablet computer supports the HFP profile). The hands-free system, whose controls are on the multifunction steering wheel, the iDrive controller, or voice control system, is then used to answer calls. Your address book, playlists, and other features will all be readily accessible over the Bluetooth(r) technology after pairing.

Do I have Bluetooth in my BMW?
Your passkey serves as a special pairing code for your car. It is spelled out in your owner’s manual.
The passkey is printed on the Bluetooth module itself, so you can still use it if you lose your owner’s handbook. This is found at the back of the majority of BMWs. The inside trim will include a detachable panel covering the amplifier on one side that can be accessed with the trunk open. A sticker with the letters “PK” (passkey) and a four-digit PIN code will be found on the Bluetooth module, which is situated close to the amplifier.

Has the 2014 BMW Bluetooth?
I just got a 2014 328i, and I’m having trouble getting my iPhone X to pair with it so I can play music. However, the phone is connected to the vehicle, so I can make calls and view my address book. On 6/1/18, Version 11.4, I upgraded the software on both the car and the iPhone. I recently contacted BMW, and they informed me that despite not having Apple Car Play, the 2014 BMWs can play audio over bluetooth.
Has the 2014 BMW 320i had Bluetooth?
However, there are times when it’s just wonderful to drive a car that gets good fuel efficiency but still has some excitement. However, that amount of oomph is nowhere near what ardent 3 Series fans would prefer. And probably not given the cost.
The ultimate MSRP (minus the $2,095 destination fee and taxes) was $46,300, and that doesn’t even take into account the plethora of options it was equipped with.
It is small, easy to park, has a trunk that carries 480L of cargo, seats five (but four comfortably), has good view out the back, and has elegant features.
On the other hand, I think it is pricey, doesn’t have Bluetooth audio or a backup camera, and the navigation system is an extra $2,000 option.
Even if I’m torn on this one, its aspirational appeal cannot be denied. These cars will continue to be produced by BMW, and consumers will continue to adore them.
Has the 2007 BMW 335i Bluetooth?
The 2007 BMW 335i coupe is a stylish performer thanks to plenty of torque and sleek body style. MP3, WMA, and iPods all play without a problem, and Bluetooth and iDrive-based navigation are optional.
Has the 2002 BMW E46 Bluetooth?
BMW’s Bluetooth-enabled onboard computer control system is available on more recent E46 models. You can link a Bluetooth-enabled mobile device to your E46’s onboard computer control system by using this option. To establish this connection, you must go through an initial pairing step.
Why can’t I use Bluetooth to connect to my BMW?
With the 2022 iPhone iOS update, this took place. Depending on the length of the calls, the Bluetooth connection will typically remain stable for the first two or three calls in this scenario. The phone will then lose connection during the subsequent call.
The next time you start the automobile, everything functions normally. Most BMW and MINI cars were affected by this.
In 2016, we also experienced the same issue with iOS 9.2.1. During the call, the Bluetooth connection drops, and the iDrive changes to the most recent media source. The discussion continues on the iPhone. In a few of seconds, the connection is restored, allowing the conversation to continue hands-free.
An iOS software flaw was to blame for the problem. Apple gave people the option to install the beta version of the impending update as they awaited the full release.
However, BMW specialists all over the world struggled to identify the issue by swapping or programming iDrives and telematic control units up to the “official” notification of the fault. I am undoubtedly one of them.
After this lesson, I disconnect the customer’s phone from the car and connect mine as soon as they return with a complaint. I use a dated iPhone 6 with an outdated iOs that I am familiar with using for this.
So, if you’re having issues, check to see if they appeared after updating your phone. Keeping this in mind, it might not be as obvious as you believe. It’s possible that everything will be fine if you just make a few quick phone calls while driving.

Do I have a combox on my BMW?
You may learn how to use your BMW head unit by watching the video below. If your map data version has “Premium” inscribed on it, your head unit is a CIC.
CIC (Pro Nav) – If your car has a CIC head unit installed, you’ll need a factory-installed combox.
The carpet in the boot must be taken out in order to determine whether your automobile has a combox installed.
- Open the boot and remove all of your stuff before continuing.
- The boot liner carpet readily pulls out, so remove it completely and lay it down.
- The flat supporting hard board in the boot should be removed, not just lifted up.
- The item circled on the left in the image above is the combox. A fuse box will be visible to the right if you are searching in the proper spot.
- You don’t have a combox if the area to the left of the fuse box is empty.
- If the combox in the circle is installed. Great! You can be coded.
Unfortunately, due to the length of time and complexity of the installation, we do not refit comboxes.
The cost of the coding retrofit, PS91.67 + VAT, remains the same if the combox is already in place. For PS91.67 plus VAT, we can currently add this extended Bluetooth option to your car. Simply phone one of our team members at 0118 958 3481, and they will schedule you.
