There are many things you want to do with your smartphone while you have to focus on driving — check out a new Spotify playlist through the car’s stereo system, or accept calls hands-free without breaking your focus on the road. And with BMW Enhanced Bluetooth Update & USB Port Activation you will be able to do much more than that.
What is “Enhanced Bluetooth”? The most obvious benefit of adding this feature to your car is that audio streaming won’t just be something you’ve read about online anymore. You’ll be able to play your favorite tracks through the car’s speakers via Bluetooth. In terms of BMW smartphone integration, you’ll also have the chance to connect your smartphone via a USB port, giving much better sound quality (this activation adds support for Apple white cable meaning you don’t need a BMW Y cable adapter
This is a cable that splits from an iOS device connector to USB and Aux (3.5mm stereo jack) thus using both ports in your arm rest. It is required to connect an iOS device to your car when Enhanced Bluetooth/USB port is not unlocked in your vehicle.
). With Enhanced Bluetooth package activated, it’s also possible to pair up multiple devices simultaneously. Listen to music from your passenger’s phone and receive calls from your own!
Apart from media streaming, if you have the Office Menu available in your car, you will get to see SMS messages, notes, emails, calendar or reminders from your phone on the iDrive screen. Please keep in mind that you can only read them, and there is no possibility to edit or send new messages through the car’s system with this BMW Bluetooth update.
However, in vehicles with BMW Enhanced Bluetooth with USB and Voice Control
It lets you manipulate the car’s system with voice commands. Pressing the voice command button on the steering wheel you can navigate to any menu section, manage calls and text messages when your telephone is connected to the car via Bluetooth.
feature you’ll be able to dictate new text messages and send them without taking your hands off the wheel. Making hands-free calls is also supported.
IMPORTANT: The range of functions available after activating Bluetooth strongly depends on your smartphone as well as the BMW hardware and software in your car. For example, if you can’t access calendar or read text messages after our activation, it means that your smartphone is not compatible with the factory pre-set configurations of your BMW, and this doesn’t let this particular feature work. Visit bmwusa.com/bluetooth (for North America) or bmw.com/bluetooth (for other locations), and check which features you will get for your device and vehicle after unlocking Enhanced Bluetooth and a USB port.
Depending on your vehicle, Enhanced Bluetooth will be activated either via cable or with our innovative USB coding process. To find out which is available for your vehicle, identify your car with your VIN.
We'll confirm pricing, compatibility and product details for your car:
