Why Use www.bimmernav.com for your BMW Bluetooth installation?
BMW's Bluetooth system is a BRAND NEW system from BMW
that allows you to use most any
Bluetooth compatible cellular phone in your BMW.
Bluetooth is a new function of the latest cellular phones
that allows you to wirelessly connect your cellular phone to
other accessories such as a laptop or wireless headset.
BMW's Bluetooth system takes advantage of this functionality to
allow you to use your standard Bluetooth enabled phone in your
BMW providing safe hands-fee operation while driving, plus some
additional features such as voice control of your cellular phone
and navigation system (if equipped).
The nice thing about Bluetooth is you do not need to
physically connect your cellular phone to your BMW. You
can keep your phone in your pocket or purse and still use all of
the functions. Any of the pictures showing the cellphone
phone in a cradle are just illustrating the optional charging
and the boosting of your cellular phone antenna using the
optional
BMW snap in adapters.
With the BMW Bluetooth system you can use the BMW steering
wheel and radio controls to navigate your cellular phone
phonebook, dial numbers, increase volume, etc. The system
also allows for the voice control of your cellular phone, voice
control of your navigation system and notepad (to save a message
to yourself for later replay)
What is Bluetooth? And how Does it work?

Bluetooth Phones approved by BMW
Although this is the
"Official" list of US phones from BMW, most all new US
Bluetooth phones work fine
Bluetooth uses a short range wireless (30
ft) system to communicate between your compatible Bluetooth
phone to the BMW phone system allowing you to place and
receive calls, initiate voice recognition commands for phone
(such as voice tags or numeric entry), navigation (if
equipped), and notepad. Complete phone and navigation
controls are detailed
HERE. The system will fully integrate into your BMW
without the need for a wired connection between the phone and
BMW. Images such as shown above are with optional "snap in
adapters" that charge and boost the antenna signal to the roof
antenna. BMWs Bluetooth system shows your Bluetooth Phone's
phonebook, last numbers dialed, SMS and call details on
Navigation screen, Radio Display plus phone book on the
instrument cluster if the proper hands-free protocol is
supported by your Bluetooth phone (some older Bluetooth phones
do not include all of the Bluetooth profiles. Since this kit
uses BMW Original Equipment, your Bluetooth phone will be
fully integrated into your BMWs system allowing you to place
and receive calls via the steering wheel or other BMW phone
control buttons. Our BMW Bluetooth system will work in your
BMW just as it would if the car was manufactured from BMW with
this technology.
The system uses most of the new Bluetooth
phones available from your cellular carrier. BMW approved
phone details can be found
HERE.

1st generation ULF module, and stick with the more recent versions.

by itself or on the Bluetooth eject box. The steering
wheel button does not function as a pairing button, but does
operate the Bluetooth voice recognition.

Our BMW Bluetooth retrofit kits have been available for over 2 years and
installed and tested in most any BMW configuration from 1995 to 2005. Our
kits are different for each model and build date of BMW, as they are
specifically designed to the specific configuration of each BMW and each year
model. If you know someone who has put Bluetooth in their 95-2001 BMW, it
is highly likely that they used this retrofit kit. Others may have copied
our Bluetooth kits to some degree, although no other vendors spend the time or
effort to get the latest parts available from BMW, and use all Original BMW
parts in their kits. See
HERE for details on other vendor solutions.
