Bluetooth is a new function of the
latest cellular phones that allows you to wirelessly connect your
cellular phone to other accessories such as a laptop or wireless
headset. BMW's Bluetooth system takes advantage of this functionality
to allow you to use your standard Bluetooth enabled phone in your BMW providing
safe hands-fee operation while driving, plus some additional features
such as voice control of your cellular phone and navigation system (if
equipped).
The nice thing about Bluetooth is
you do not need to physically connect your cellular phone to your BMW.
You can keep your phone in your pocket or purse and still use all of
the functions. Any of the pictures showing the cellphone phone in a
cradle are just illustrating the optional charging and the boosting of
your cellular phone antenna using the optional BMW snap in
adapters.
With the BMW Bluetooth
system
you can use the BMW steering wheel and radio controls to navigate your
cellular phone phonebook, dial numbers, increase volume, ect. The
system also allows for the voice control of your cellular phone, voice
control of your navigation system and notepad (to save a message to
yourself for later replay). The system operates just as your
BMW
factory installed phone would operate with the added benefit of
voice
recognition and voice control of phone and nav.
BMW Bluetooth Systems are for BMWs either
with Navigation or without
Navigation.
