IPhone Bluetooth won't sync with bmw? - 1

I have a 2006 bmw 3 series and my iPhone 4S with the ios7 will not sync with my car. What should I do?

My first step would be to see if a different iphone 4s will sync up with it.

If it does, then you know it isn't the car… It is the phone.

If neither phone pairs up, I would take it to the BMW dealer and have a salesman troubleshoot it with you, because maybe you are doing something wrong. DON'T call them over the phone and expect them to be able to help you much. If you still have a problem after they help you… You may need service to take a look at it and see if there's a problem with the car.

2006 systems don't always play nice with a new phone… So be prepared for that answer.

  • Where will the iphone adaptor fit in my BMW? I have a BMW 116D Sport. Its a 2009 (59) plate. The steering wheel has a load of buttons for a bluetooth mobile phone connection. I was planning on buying an iphone 4/4S SnapIn adaptor so I can use my phone. The only thing is I've seen the adaptors and I can't see where it would fit in my car. In many other BMWs there's a space near the handbrake where an adaptor can fit nicely. Mine doesn't have this. Does anyone know where it would go?
