How can you tell whether you have Blue Tooth activated? I have just updated the software when I had an aux jack installed so that I could use my iPod.

Thanks

We were just talking about this at our meet this weekend. It seems like there should be an entry in the communications menu in iDrive if bluetooth is active.

That would be communications as shown below, NOT the blue menu that comes up when you slide the puck towards the dash.

Sorry, many people just slide the puck towards the dash and look for BT there. I guess your car needs to be coded for BT then.

It's OK really.... I was thinking about the puck to the dash thing but that is totally wrong and it is in the info menu like you said.
