Why can't I find Bluetooth in the old BMW 5 Series?
2 Answers
The Bluetooth function in the old BMW 5 Series is located on the car navigation system, and there is also a Bluetooth activation function on the steering wheel. Here are the specific details about the BMW 5 Series: 1. Exterior: The overall design features BMW's iconic elements, with a sleek and elegant body, bold and dynamic appearance, and smooth lines. The front fascia resembles that of the new 7 Series, giving it a similar look. The body is elongated, and the exhaust pipes on the 535 model are dual on both sides. The seams are evenly and tightly crafted, the air conditioning performs well, the sound system is average, the steering wheel offers a good grip, and the display controls are user-friendly and convenient. 2. Performance: The BMW 5 Series is equipped with a newly developed six-cylinder engine.
I also encountered the issue of Bluetooth not being found when driving an older BMW 5 Series. There are generally a few common reasons. First, check if your phone's Bluetooth is turned on and in discovery mode, and ensure the car's infotainment system has Bluetooth functionality activated. Some older versions of the infotainment system may not support newer phone protocols, so try re-pairing: delete old devices from the paired list in order, then attempt to add the new device again. Additionally, unstable car battery voltage can affect the Bluetooth module's operation—start the car and let the system stabilize for a few minutes before trying again. If it still doesn’t work, the Bluetooth hardware module might be faulty, as electronic components in older cars are prone to aging. In such cases, it’s advisable to visit a 4S shop for inspection and repair, as they can diagnose the issue more reliably with professional tools. During regular maintenance, pay attention to the car’s electrical circuits to prevent minor issues from escalating.
