BMW Coding for Enhanced Bluetooth / USB Activation

BMW Coding for Enhanced Bluetooth / USB Activation

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).
With the 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!

BMW Coding Features

• Extends the multimedia capabilities of your BMW
• Lets you stream audio from a smartphone or MP3 player via Bluetooth/USB port
• Allows pairing up multiple devices via Bluetooth
• Gives read-only access to SMS messages email reminders etc.
• Provides USB audio playback through the BMW stereo system
• Enables you to use Voice Control to make calls without taking your hands off the wheel

Apart from media streaming if you have the Office Menu available in your car you will get to see SMS messages notes emails calendars or reminders from your phone on the iDrive screen. Please keep in mind that you can only read them
However, in vehicles with BMW Enhanced Bluetooth with USB and Voice Control 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 the 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.

Installation

The price and the type of BMW Enhanced Bluetooth Update / USB Port Activation strongly depend on the configuration of your vehicle. In order to find out how we will enable Enhanced Bluetooth and the USB port in your specific car (via USB or during a remote BMW coding session) please identify your BMW/MINI.
