I recently purchased a BMW, and this is my first post. Unfortunately, nobody, not even the neighborhood dealer, has a solution for me. I’m hoping some of you experienced Bimmer owners can offer some assistance!
A used 2010 335i coupe convertible with 55K miles is what I recently bought. I didn’t know much about BMWs when I bought it, but it is in excellent condition, has been inspected, and is mechanically sound (Jesus, how complicated can an automaker truly build option packages? God help us, please! And now I have a query about if I can utilize Bluetooth and my phone.
The iDrive system in the automobile is activated via a knob on the center console, to start. On the steering wheel are the phone’s buttons. Voice command functions. There is navigation. Everything appears to be in place, and I even possess a respectable level of intelligence and problem-solving skills.
After spending a frustrating amount of time trying to pair my iPhone and get Bluetooth to function, it finally dawned on me. It might not have had Bluetooth or phone capabilities.
I’m angrier than a deaf, dumb, and mute person who plays bingo, wins, and tries to shout bingo!
Maybe it’s just my lack of knowledge about BMWs, but I find it hard to believe that a “luxury” automaker like BMW could sell a car like this with all the buttons and equipment installed but NOT have this technology built in. This is especially true given that my wife’s Honda CR-V, a vehicle that is obviously much less expensive, has AMAZING Bluetooth pairing and phone technology.
I went to the neighborhood dealer, who couldn’t even dig out the construction sheet for this car or even tell me whether or not it was supposed to have Bluetooth. Apparently, in 2015, we can send rovers to Mars and operate on brain tumors. Everyone at the dealership asserts that they have never seen a 335i without Bluetooth, yet when I push the phone button, I get a big fat nothing and there are no options to pair my phone. The LCD screen’s phone options are likewise disabled.
Am I overlooking anything simple here, or did I just buy the only BMW in existence without this technology? If so, is it now a valuable collector’s item, similar to a 1915 silver dollar with a mistaken stamp? (meant sarcastically)
Do I have Bluetooth audio on my BMW?
All BMW model series include a mobile phone preparation with a Bluetooth(r) interface. BMW works in tandem with all the major producers to ensure that the newest mobile devices are as functional as possible. By utilizing the tool below to check your phone’s compatibility with BMW automobiles, you can determine precisely which devices they are.
How can I tell whether the Bluetooth in my BMW is upgraded?
To connect your phone and car:
- Launch your BMW as usual.
- Go to the Bluetooth menu on your phone and look for nearby devices two minutes after you start your car.
- Select the “BMW” device you see when you see it.
- Put in your BMW Bluetooth pairing code when requested.
- For verification that pairing was successful, check your iDrive menu.
If my BMW e90 has Bluetooth, how do I know?
Stupid query… 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.
In my BMW, how can I activate Bluetooth?

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.

When did Bluetooth become an automobile standard?
Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia, and Toshiba formalized the development of a wire-free method of transmitting voice and data between devices in the mid-1990s. The founding firms established the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) on May 20, 1998, with the goal of ensuring the standardization and compatibility of this short-range radio technology.
More than 33,000 member businesses are working hard to develop and improve a flexible, dependable, and secure wireless connection solution today.
The first Bluetooth(r)-enabled mobile phone and PC card hit the market in 2000. These days, individuals experience everything and everywhere through their smartphones, tablets, and PCs. The only wireless standard among them is Bluetooth, which is also essential for ensuring universal access to IoT solutions.
One of the first cables that Bluetooth eliminated was the audio cable. The first Bluetooth MP3 player was sold in 2003, while the first Bluetooth Low Energy music players were introduced in 2012. Since then, Bluetooth has irrevocably altered the way we interact with the world and consume media.
The first Bluetooth hands-free automobile kits were released in 2001. Since then, Bluetooth has improved both the in-car experience and our roadways’ degree of safety. Exciting new use cases for Bluetooth technology are now possible, including ones that improve fuel economy, shield drivers from the effects of weariness, and enhance connectivity between vehicles and the towns in which they operate.
The linked device market is driven by Bluetooth Low Energy (LE), which was first offered in 2010. Bluetooth technology is assisting in bringing the Internet of Things (IoT) concept to life by connecting billions of commonplace items and facilitating the creation of countless more.
By providing indoor positioning and location services that concentrate on improving the visitor experience, occupant productivity, and optimal space usage, Bluetooth technology is enabling intelligent building automation at scale and widening the notion of the smart building.
In order to create intelligent devices and entire manufacturing lines that can forecast and solve problems, Bluetooth technology is driving a convergence of business and information that opens the way for the next industrial revolution.
In ways that were previously unimaginable, Bluetooth connects metropolitan infrastructures to improve the quality of life for people living there as well as for businesses, employees, and visitors from all over the world.
For many years, Bluetooth technology has been at the center of the connected home, whether it’s linking TVs to soundbars or computers to keyboards. In order to fulfill the promise of the smart home, Bluetooth is now able to automatically operate lights, thermostats, smoke alarms, cameras, doorbells, locks, and more.
We are grateful for the pioneering standards and ground-breaking products developed by our community of thinkers and inventors, which have molded culture, opened up new markets, and made lives better.
