The principle
Your BMW is equipped with a mobile phone
provision. As soon as you have performed a
once-only logon procedure in the vehicle with a
suitable mobile phone, you will also be able to
operate it via iDrive, the buttons on the steering
wheel and voice control
*
.
A mobile phone that has previously been
logged on is automatically identified again as
soon as it is brought inside the vehicle if the
engine is running or the ignition switched on.
The logon data of up to four mobile phones can
be retained at any one time. If more than one
mobile phone is identified at the same time,
whichever mobile phone was logged on most
recently can be operated via the vehicle.
Phoning from inside the car
Use of the snap-in adapter*
The snap-in adapter, a type of mobile phone
holder, enables you to recharge the battery and
connect the mobile phone to the external aerial
of your vehicle. This will assure better network
reception and consistent sound quality. BMW
Service knows for which mobile phones there
are snap-in adapters available.
For your safety
A car phone provides many services, and can
even save lives. You will find safety instructions
in the separate Operating Instructions of your
mobile phone, but please comply with the fol-
lowing additional instructions:
Only make inputs when it is safe to do so
without risk to yourself or other road
users. Do not hold the mobile phone in your
hand while driving; use the hands-free unit
instead. You could otherwise be distracted and
put both the occupants of your car and other
road users at risk.<
Suitable mobile phones
Ask BMW Service for details of which mobile
phones with a Bluetooth interface are sup-
ported by the mobile phone provision and for
which mobile phones there are snap-in adapt-
ers available. These mobile phones, in conjunc-
tion with a specific software status, support the
functions described in these Operating Instruc-
tions. Other types of mobile phone could mal-
function.
