Bluetooth devices
Cell phones and audio players can be connected to the Combox via Bluetooth. To provide the customer with a simpler, easy-to-understand overview of the currently "tested" devices, the website at http://www.bmwusa.com/bluetooth is being constantly updated. Customers are able to use the website to determine which devices and functions work and which do not with their specific BMW model.
The following information is available:
- The tested phones are organized based on BMW model and wireless carrier.
- Detailed information regarding individual functions is organized based on phone manufacture and on which functions the specific phone can perform
- Information about how to improve cell phone to vehicle compatibility (by means of a downloadable Bluetooth profile software updates will be available 04/2011)
