BMW Announces Bluetooth
Availability for the 2005 Model Year
by Jenny McLane
BlueTooth technology is now available for almost all 2005 BMW models providing a
new standard of convenience for in-car hands-free calling. This is BMW's second
major in-car communication/entertainment initiative for the 2005 model year.
Likewise, Sirius satellite radio as a factory-installed option can also be
availed according to the carmaker.
With a compatible Bluetooth cell phone, drivers can place calls, answer calls
and select numbers from the phonebook by simply using the multi-function
steering wheel or dashboard controls. It provides wireless connection between
select compatible cell phones and the vehicle for hands-free calling.
A compatible Bluetooth phone is required once and the owner must complete an
initial pairing procedure in order to create a private wireless connection
between phone and vehicle. All subsequent connections occur automatically. Up to
four pairings may be held in memory. Shipped fully activated, Bluetooth equipped
vehicles needs no further activation or installation.
BMW conducts a variety of compatibility test on all available Bluetooth phones
on the market to ensure utmost customer satisfaction. It must be noted that not
all available Bluetooth phones are compatible with BMW’s Bluetooth option. A
complete list of all approved phones for every major cellular service provider
will be available on all BMW centers
Standard equipment on the 2005 5 and 6 Series models as well as the M3
Convertible and X5 4.8is, Bluetooth technology is included in all other vehicles
equipped with BMW Assist or a Premium Package. It is not offered on the 7
Series, which comes standard with a fully integrated portable cell phone. Some
early production 2005 model
3 Series
cars are not equipped with Bluetooth.
Consult a BMW center for specific availability.
