Vehicle Equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national and
special equipment provided in the model series.
Therefore equipment not available in a vehicle is
also described, for example the selected special
equipment or national version. That also applies
to safety-relevant functions and systems.
Principle
Mobiles or other external devices, for example
audio player, can be connected to the vehicle by
Bluetooth.
After single registration, these devices are au‐
tomatically detected with the ignition switched
on. As soon as they are in the vehicle, they can
be operated through iDrive, the buttons on the
steering wheel and by voice.
General
External devices can be used depending on
functionality of the device as a telephone or as
an audio source through the vehicle.
Up to four external devices can be registered. If
the rear telephone is registered, three more ex‐
ternal devices can be registered.
Notes
Using the telephone while the vehicle is in
motion
Only make inputs when traffic activity permits.
As the driver, do not make telephone calls with
the mobile phone in your hand while the vehicle
is in motion; use the hands-free speaking sys‐
tem. The vehicle occupants and other road
users could otherwise be endangered.◀
It might be necessary to have certain functions
enabled by the mobile phone or service pro‐
vider.
At high temperatures, the charging function of
the mobile can be restricted and no longer op‐
erate.
When using the mobile through the vehicle, fol‐
low the user manual of the mobile.
