Hands-free calls
Comfortable hands-free calls via Bluetooth with high voice quality. Stable Bluetooth connection. Quick, reliable reconnection. Mobile telephone control via the vehicle user interfaces. Problem-free Bluetooth coupling of the mobile phone with the vehicle. Display of current signal strength Display of Roaming status	Independently of the mobile phone involved, the indicators are generally not supported in X3 models.	Sporadic, temporary interruption of the Bluetooth connection (e.g. during call setup), especially with some Nokia models. Depending on your mobile network, mobile phone model and location, the voice quality may be impaired. Pairing with the Apple iPhone only possible with a 4- to 16-digit passkey. iPhone volume. It might be necessary to make a once-only adjustment to in-car volume by means of the rocker button on the side of the iPhone. If the iPhone is running software version 2.2 or higher the volume at the landline end is very low, which means that the landline user might have difficulty understanding what the driver says. Activation of WLAN in the Apple iPhone can lead to impaired voice quality (e.g. acoustic interference). In the case of some mobile phones (Apple iPhone, HTC, RIM), the passkey must first be entered on the mobile phone. In the case of some of the Nokia 6230i models, problems were observed with reconnection and stability of the connection, depending on the mobile phone hardware and software. In this case, please update the software of the mobile phone, delete the Bluetooth device list in the mobile phone, repeat pairing procedure and then briefly switch off the mobile phone. Some Nokia mobile phones ignore the local setting "Transmission of own call number" with calls made via the Bluetooth interface; in this case, the setting selected by the service provider is used as the default setting. With some Sony Ericsson mobile phones, the Bluetooth connection may break down when the energy-saving function is activated. If this happens, deactivate the option "Save energy" in the Bluetooth menu of your mobile phone. With some Motorola mobile phones, a call terminated via the mobile phone may still be displayed as active on the vehicle screen; if this happens, switch the mobile phone off for a few seconds. With some Samsung mobile phones, the Bluetooth connection must be explicitly confirmed on the mobile phone or it must be explicitly authorized in the settings of the mobile phone. With RIM Blackberry phones operated in Enterprise mode, functionality in the vehicle depends on the access rights conferred by the company: The setting within the "Bluetooth Policy Group" must correspond to the standard ettings specified by RIM. On some mobile phones, a call is terminated immediately if the called number is engaged or does not exist. Some mobile phones only update the signal strength status with a time delay There have been isolated reports of pairing problems with Nokia N and E series mobile phones. In most instances the problem can be solved by switching the mobile phone off for a few minutes and then on again; it might also be necessary to run through the pairing routine again.     Changes compared to the last version dated March 2009.
Contacts, transfer from mobile phone
All contacts in the mobile phone contacts list with at least one number are transferred. All numbers in a contact entry in the internal phone contacts list are transferred and displayed. The number type (home, work, mobile) is also transferred for internal contact entries and displayed.	Display of the number type ("home", "mobile", "work", "other") is not supported in X3.	Some mobile phones only transfer one telephone number per contact list entry. On Nokia mobile phones, the number to be transferred can be labelled as "Standard". Depending on the phone involved, transferring the contacts can take several minutes. Depending on the mobile phone, special characters of text may in some cases, sporadically, be displayed incorrectly inside the vehicle. With some mobile phones, the contacts are only transferred if the mobile phone is ready for operation (i.e. logged into the network) at the moment of ignition. The transmission of large phone books is not supported by all mobile phones: Depending on the mobile phone model, the phone book is transmitted partially or not at all. Mobile phone resets were also partially observed. On some mobile phone models (e.g. from Apple, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, RIM and Motorola), the sort sequence displayed in the vehicle (e.g. "Sorting by last name") can be influenced by the sort sequence adjustment on the mobile phone. A precondition here is that the constituents of the name in the mobile phone are correctly assigned to the first name or last name field. If the mobile phone only supports one field for the complete name, ensure that the commas are place correctly on entering a name, i.e. either <last name>, <first name> or <first name> <last name>
Contacts, transfer from SIM card
All numbers on the SIM card are transferred and displayed.		With regard to the sort sequence, SIM card entries on most mobile phones are displayed in the vehicle in the same way as they are stored on the mobile phone. Some mobile phones interpret the first name / last name depending on a comma - this mechanism is also used frequently when importing SIM card entries into the telephone book of the mobile phone. Example: With a SIM card entry "Smith John" (without comma), "Smith" would be interpreted by the mobile phone as the first name and "John" as the last name.
USB audio player
Use of the audioplayer integrated in the mobile phone parallel to telephone operation via Bluetooth. Selection / Start / Stop titles via the vehicle's control elements.	Only in combination with option 6FL USB Audio Interface. Option 6FL USB Audio Interface only available on selected models.	After connecting the mobile phone with the vehicle via USB cable, please consult the display on your mobile phone. Some mobile phones only support one storage medium in combination with the USB audio interface , i.e. the memory must be stored in the mobile phone or on the smart card. With some mobile phones, the mode "Media" (MTP / Media Transfer Protocol) or "File Transfer" (MSC / Mass Storage Class) must be selected when connecting the USB cable. If "File Transfer" is selected, some mobile phones will deactivate the telephony feature. It is recommended to complete the Bluetooth pairing feature before the mobile phone is used as audio player.
Call Waiting
Acoustic Call Waiting signal. Depending on the mobile phone model, the following scenarios are possible after operation of the button on the multifunction steering wheel: − termination of the present call and immediate acceptance of the Call Waiting. − termination of the present call and rejection of the Call Waiting.		If the Call Waiting function is marked with "-" in the compatibility table, we recommend that you deactivate the Call Waiting function on your mobile phone. Some mobile phones do not display the number of the incoming caller correctly inside the vehicle when the current call is terminated. On some mobile phones, the call time display is not reset when switching to an incoming Call Waiting.
Privacy mode
Telephoning direct from the mobile phone.	In X3 models without a BMW navigation system, Privacy Mode is supported independent of the mobile phone.	If the function "Privacy" is marked "-" in the compatibility table, telephoning direct from the mobile phone is not possible unless the Bluetooth function is temporarily deactivated. Typically, a call will be transmitted via the hands-free unit again after a short time.
Call Holding/Conference
Toggling between a maximum of 2 parallel calls via Vehicle controls. Conference switch.	Only in combination with Professional Multimedia Navigation System.
Text message display
Display of new recieved Text message and also stored in the mobile on the Vehicle controls.	Only in combination with option 609 BMW Professional Multimedia Navigation system. Excessively long SMS will be split during transmission and displayed in chronologically reversed order. The SMS download begins with the switch to the news menu. After the SMS download, the status for all downloaded SMS will switch to "read" in the mobile phone. The number of the maximum of downloadable SMS is limited.	Umlauts and special characters may not be transmitted correctly on some mobile phones. On the Sony Ericsson C702, C902, C905, W705 and W902 mobile phones, SMSs are not displayed in the vehicle unless "phone memory" is selected in the mobile phone settings as the storage destination. It might take a considerable time to download text messages, depending on the number of messages stored in the mobile phone.
Address import
Display of addresses stored in the mobile phone in the vehicle under "My contacts". There is also an option to use the address as a navigation destination.	Only in combination with option 609 BMW Professional Multimedia Navigation system.	With some mobile phones, the addresses will not be transmitted correctly and can therefore not be used as a navigation destination; these devices are marked with ("Function limitations").

As the application of the Bluetooth standard differs considerably from one mobile phone model to another and can also vary over the course of the product lifecycle, BMW UK cannot accept any responsibility for any impaired performance. BMW UK recommend the use of a snap-in adapter to ensure that the mobile phone is secured safely, that it is charged and connected with the external antenna.
