Depending on the mobile phone type, the
power-saving mode setting, for example,
may result in a paired mobile phone not
being detected by the vehicle.

For pairing purposes, define any 4 to 16-
digit number as a Bluetooth passkey,
e.g. 25081107. A long and complex number
offers the best protection against unautho-
rized access. This Bluetooth passkey is no
longer required after pairing is successful.

The ignition is switched on.

Pair the mobile phone with the vehicle
only when the car is stationary, to avoid

endangering the car's occupants and other
road users by being distracted.

Switch on ignition

Insert remote control all the way into the
ignition lock.

Switch on ignition without operating the
brake or clutch or pressing the start/stop
button.

Preparation via iDrive

"Telephone"

"Bluetooth (telephone)"

"Add new phone"

The Bluetooth name of the vehicle is dis-
played.

Preparation via the mobile phone

Further steps must be carried out with the
mobile phone and vary depending on the
model. Please refer to your mobile phone's
operating instructions, e.g. under the topics
of Searching for a Bluetooth device, Linking
or Pairing.
The Bluetooth name of the vehicle appears
on the mobile phone display.

Select the Bluetooth name of the vehicle on
the mobile phone display.

Pairing

Depending on your mobile phone, you will see
messages, first on the mobile phone display or
on the iDrive, requesting you to enter the same
Bluetooth passkey previously determined by
you.

Enter the Bluetooth passkey.
Depending on the mobile phone, you will
have approx. 30 seconds to enter your
Bluetooth passkey on the mobile phone
and the Control Display.

If the pairing was successful, the mobile phone
appears at the top of the list of mobile phones.
