Telephoning

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 vehicle 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 several 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 battery 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 quality. 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 precaution, 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 with Bluetooth interface
are supported by the mobile phone preparation
package and which mobile phones are compat-
ible with the snap-in adapter. By virtue of their
particular software versions, these mobile
phones support the functions described in this
Owner's Manual. Malfunctions can occur with
other mobile phones.
