Connecting your phone to your 335i

WhyCry · 05-31-2012, 08:46 PM

Hey guys,
im having trouble connecting my phone to my car. I've searched the owners manual and used google. I can't for the life of me figure out how do it.

How do I go about connecting my phone? and once im done how do i use it to take calls and make them.

You have to go to the phone and hit the button for BT on the far right and search for devices at the same time you make your phone discoverable in the phones menu.

im sitting in my 335i right now and im doing exactly what it's saying but when i push the button nothing happens at all.

Do you have the bluetooth option? Check for SOS button on your roof console.

What phone are you using? Please verify that you actually have the Premium Package and BMW Assist with Bluetooth. The phone symbol may be there but it does not mean that you are bluetooth capable.

If you do have Bluetooth capability and no iPhone and you do not have the "approved" BMW phones, you could still use the Bluetooth feature, but you have to use a work around.

I dont know what's going on. should I take it to the dealer to get it checked out.

WhyCry · 05-31-2012, 11:48 PM

I guess I simply don't have blue tooth.
Why is the phone symbol there though? Is there any other use for it. because i noticed theres a mic in my mirror too.

To pair with a phone, you need to click on menu. From there you will see "PHONE". Click on that and you will see a BT pairing option.

Verify that you have the Bluetooth option. You can look up your VIN and see if it was an installed option.

They all do, you can still use the S-wheel buttons for radio volume.
It sounds like you're going to need (if you really want the option) to have the BT module installed and coded.

Search this site for the part #.
Search part # here : http://www.trademotion.com/parts/?ac...2&make=&model=

Then use the DIY on this site for the rest of the steps.
Finally, pair the phone and enjoy your wireless connectivity while driving lol
