red interface.
Ask your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center
which infrared headphones are supported by
the infrared interface.
When using infrared headphones, the
infrared connection between the head-
phones and the infrared interface may not be
interrupted. This means that no obstacle may
be located between them and the cover of the
infrared interface may not be covered or
scratched. Unfavorable lighting conditions,
such as glaring ambient lig ht, can result in poor

The concept
Your BMW is equipped with a full mobile phone
preparation package. After pairing a suitable
mobile phone in the vehicle once, you can oper-
ate the mobile phone via iDrive, with the buttons
on the steering wheel and by voice.
Once a mobile phone has been paired in your
vehicle, it is automatically recognized as soon
as it is inside the vehicl e 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 seve ral 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 batte ry 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 qu ality. 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 precau tion, your being dis- tracted can endanger vehicle occupants and
other road users.
<
Suitable mobile phones
Ask your BMW Sports Activity Vehicle Center
which mobile phones wi th Bluetooth interface
are supported by the mo bile phone preparation
package and which mobile phones are compat-
ible with the snap-in adapter. By virtue of their
particular software ve rsions, these mobile
phones support the functions described in this
Owner's Manual. Malfunctions can occur with
other mobile phones.
Care instructions
You can find everything you need to know on
this topic by consulting the separate operating
instructions for the mobile phone.
Operating options
You can operate the mobile phone* using:
> Buttons on steering wheel, refer to page11
> iDrive, refer to page 226
> Voice commands, refer to page 231
> Programmable memory buttons, refer to
page 21
Avoid operating a mobile phone detected by
the vehicle with the keypad of the mobile
phone, otherwise malf unctions can occur.
Placing phone calls with BMW Assist
system*: BMW Assist calls
You can use the BMW Assist system via the
hands-free unit for BMW Assist calls.
When the status information "Communication"
or "BMW Assist" is displayed in "BMW Ser-
vice", only BMW Assi st calls are possible.
