How to Connect a Huawei Phone to a BMW 5 Series?

You can connect via a phone data cable, with one end plugged into the phone and the other into the car's USB port. The car needs to enter the Carlife connection system, requiring all permissions to be granted for a successful connection.

As an average BMW owner, connecting my Huawei phone to a BMW 5 Series is quite convenient: After starting the car, open the central control screen, go to the settings menu, and select 'Connect Device.' On the phone, ensure Bluetooth is turned on and the Android Auto app is downloaded, then search for the car's name to pair. Once connected, navigation and music are directly displayed on the car screen, making operations safer and less distracting. Sometimes, a USB cable connection is needed to authorize debugging before switching to wireless for better stability. I recommend regularly updating both the phone and car system to maintain compatibility, as both new and old Huawei models can affect connectivity. If issues arise, checking Bluetooth permissions or restarting the devices usually solves the problem. This setup allows efficient hands-free control of music or real-time map updates while driving, making things much easier.
