Where is the Bluetooth in the Old BMW 1 Series?
2 Answers
Here is the relevant introduction about the Bluetooth location in the old BMW 1 Series: 1. In the car's central control: First, click on the phone to bring up the options. Then, click on the Bluetooth system and check to turn it on, setting it to visible mode. Bluetooth hands-free can also be called car Bluetooth or car hands-free, which achieves wireless audio transmission from the phone to Bluetooth headphones or Bluetooth speakers through Bluetooth wireless audio transmission. 2. The function of Bluetooth hands-free: It automatically identifies mobile phones. It can connect to the phone without the need for cables or phone holders. The owner can control the phone without touching it, even keeping both hands on the steering wheel, and can use voice commands to answer or make calls. Users can make calls through the car's audio system.
My old BMW 1 Series is a 2008 model, and the Bluetooth function is located in the iDrive control system. For daily use, I start the car first, then sit steady, rotate the large round iDrive controller on the center console, and the screen turns on to enter the main menu. There, I look for icons like 'Phone' or 'Communication,' click into them, and usually find an 'Add Device' or 'Bluetooth Pairing' option to proceed. Turn on Bluetooth search on the phone, pair the device, and it will be saved in the system, automatically connecting the next time I get in the car. The function isn’t on a physical button; most operations are done through the screen menu. When I bought the car, I forgot to check this and almost struggled for a while. Later, I found a small phone symbol button on the roof panel that can also activate the Bluetooth phone function, making it convenient to use while driving. However, the Bluetooth in older models isn’t as flexible as in newer cars, and the signal can sometimes be weak. I recommend pairing before driving and avoiding changing settings randomly to ensure safety and convenience.
