Thank you Mark ,I purchased a 2008 3 series and tried to pair my phone to it using the confusing Bmw instructions,no joy ,Your precise were excellent,thanks so much Hugh
Thanks for the video, I am seeking for buy a old car (immigrant life) and I was afraid something like that didn't have in the car so really thanks, now I can worry less about have a new car.
I figured it out in the heat when i first received my 328i (June 5th 2023) but i'm going to get a touch screen DIN Radio with all the features. I'm not a fan of buttons
My issue is not that i can't connect but I hope you can help anyway. Recently my bluetooth is disconnecting during calls and i'm not sure if its a fuse issue or what. Do you think you could help me with this? Or at least point me in the right direction. Thanks for the video
hi can you help, i have e91 2006, when i press phone button it doesnt do anything, do that mean i dont have bluetooth radio. i dont have telephone symbol when i press menu, but i have bmw pro radio.

Hey brother I got it to work and connect but when I play my music it still plays the radio. I am a new driver 18 just got my car any help will be appreciated

Unfortunately this is only for calls, you need to have navigation to play music
Works for music too right?
pardon but i have a bmw z4 3.0si and it has a built in navigation system and i was wondering if it would work?
(its a US varrient)
In this case, Can you play music from spotify or youtube? Tnks !

God is GREAT
He certainly is. 😃
Think I know the answer, but this won't allow music to be played over Bluetooth though right? Only to make and receive calls?
It depends on what was purchased with your car. Mine did play music. Some do not.
