Telephone
The concept Your BMW is equipped with a full mobile phone preparation package. After pairing a suitable mobile phone with the vehicle once, you can operate the mobile phone via iDrive, the buttons on the steering wheel or via voice commands. Once a mobile phone has been paired with 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. You can store the pairing data for up to four mobile phones simultaneously. If several mobile phones are detected at the same time, the mobile phone last paired can be operated via the vehicle.
Using the telephone inside the vehicle
Using the snap-in adapter* The so-called snap-in adapter, a holder for mobile phones, allows you to charge the mobile phone's battery and connect the mobile phone to your vehicle's outside antenna. This ensures better network reception and consistent repro- duction quality. Please contact your BMW center to find out for which mobile phones there are snap-in adapters available.
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-
168
tracted can endanger vehicle occupants and other road users.<
Suitable mobile phones Please ask your BMW center which mobile phones with Bluetooth interface are supported by the mobile phone preparation package and which mobile phones are compatible with the snap-in adapter. By virtue of their particular software versions, these mobile phones sup- port the functions described in this Owner's Manual. Malfunctions may occur with other mobile phones.
Operating options You can operate the mobile phone* using: > Buttons on the steering wheel, refer to
page 10
> iDrive, refer to page 16
> Voice commands, refer to page 175
> Programmable memory keys, refer topage 20
Avoid operating a mobile phone recognized by the vehicle via the mobile phone's keypad, oth- erwise malfunctions may result.
Start-up
Pairing the mobile phone with the vehicle The following prerequisites must be met: > Compatible mobile phone: the mobile
phone is supported by the mobile phone full preparation package. You can obtain infor- mation on the Internet at: www.bmw.com
> The mobile phone is ready to operate. > Bluetooth is activated in the vehicle, refer to
page 170, and on the mobile phone.

> Certain presettings may be necessary on
some mobile phones: e.g. using the follow- ing menu items: > Bluetooth switched on > Connection must be allowed without
requiring further confirmation
> Reconnection
> 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 has been suc- cessful.
> 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 1.

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 vehi- cle also appears on the mobile phone dis- play.
7. Select the Bluetooth name of the vehicle on
the mobile phone display.
Logging in 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. 8. 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 pairing was successful, the mobile phone appears at the top of the mobile phone list. As soon as a mobile phone is detected by the vehicle, the phone book entries stored on the SIM card or on your mobile phone are transmit- ted to the vehicle. This data transfer depends on your mobile phone and can take several min- utes; please refer to your mobile phone's oper- ating instructions, if necessary. If not all phone book entries are displayed:
