Pair Up Your Bluetooth Phone on Your 2006 BMW 3 Series With CD Radio
If your BMW 3 Series is at least a 2006 or newer, and has the CD radio and the Premium Package, it's easy to pair your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone with it. See Step One for specific instructions.
Steps
- Enable Bluetooth on your cell phone, if needed.
- Place the Comfort Access remote control into the ignition slot, but DO NOT press the Start/Stop button.
- Press the knob in on the left side of the radio to power on the radio.
- Press the MENU button on the radio.
- Turn the knob on the right side of the radio and scroll to PHONE. Press in on this knob.
- Turn the knob on the right side of the radio to scroll down to the bottom of the screen, and press in on it to select PAIR.
- Go to the Bluetooth menu in your cell phone, and select your BMW (starting with the letters BMW, and ending with the last eight characters of your BMW's VIN).
- When your cell phone asks for a passcode, enter an easy-to-remember passcode from one to sixteen digits and confirm it.
- Enter the same passcode on your BMW'S CD radio using the soft keys, and press the soft key labeled CONFIRM.
- Your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone is now paired with your BMW 3 Series.
- Remove the Comfort Access remote control from the ignition slot. You are done.
Tips
- In some cases, the process is reversed, and you enter a passcode on your BMW's CD radio first, and then on your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone.
