Multiple Bluetooth coupling

2010 BMW X5 35dSECTION Multiple Bluetooth coupling

With the introduction of the Combox, multiple devices can be coupled via Bluetooth simultaneously. Thus the audio player of one device and the telephone function of another device can be used at the same time.

Another benefit of having two phones paired at the same time is that one will have full functionality through the iDrive while the additional one is used just for incoming calls.

The respective function used appears in the form of a symbol behind the device name in the "Add new device" display.
