Overview
Note
Your BMW is equipped with a full preparation

The concept
Mobile phones can be connected to the vehicle
through Bluetooth.
After a suitable mobile phone is paired with the
vehicle once, the mobile phone can be con-
trolled via the radio, the buttons on the steering
wheel, and by voice.
Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Blue-
tooth® SIG, Inc.
Only make entries when traffic conditions
permit. 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 di stracted can endanger
vehicle occupants and other road users. <
Snap-in adapter
The snap-in adapter, refer to page165, makes
it possible to:
> Accommodate the mobile phone.
> Recharge its battery.
> Connect it to an exte rnal antenna of the
vehicle. This assures a better
network connection
and constant sound quality.
A mobile phone that is connected to the vehicle
should not be operated via the mobile phone
keypad; otherwise, ma lfunctions may occur.
