Bluetooth Installation

KAL M4 · 06-07-2013, 08:45 AM

Now I have a BMW professional stereo but no phone option in the menu.

I want the car to have bluetooth as I am on the road often and my work involves using the phone whilst driving.

Is there any way of telling if my stereo has bluetooth and I just need to get the missing bits and coding done or do I have to buy bluetooth car kit.

I have been looking into the parrot ck3000 kit with the steering module which enables me to use the controls on the wheel as they are redundant at the moment.

All my previous BMW's have come with bluetooth so I guess I took it for granted when I saw the controls on the steering wheel I was expecting bluetooth!

Picture of my head unit is below.

All help will be appreciated.

Its better to buy HU with built in BT.
Check classified as there is one going at reasonable price. You just need a mic other than that HU.
That HU also gives you option to add 6FL (iphone / ipod direct contact).
And sell your current HU.
