Help and advice wanted/needed
Hi everyone
I've just got a 2008 525i Touring. It's the fasteest doggie transport I've had
Just got a couple of questions -
How do I turn on Bluetooth so I can connect my Samsung s10 to the car ?
What is the make/Type of multi CD Changer that lives in the glovebox because I want to get one
Tony

What say you read the owner's manual (downloadable from bmw if you don't have a paper copy) for that info, then once you know you can verify whether or not it all functions correctly?

I have my PDF manual in front of me and a simple Ctrl+F keystroke and quick search of "bluetooth" or "phone" or "CD" yields a billion good results with screenshots. I suggest you try harder.

to the forum, Tony! Bluetooth is activated in the iDrive. Communications Settings --> Settings --> Bluetooth. As for the CD changer,
it. "E60 CD Changer" turns up lots for sale on eBay.

I go to settings and the last thing displayed is Time& Date It doesn't offer ma a bluetooth option
Then on reading the manual for the 2007 model iot says Bluetooth can be disabled for certain countris so I want to know how to turn it back on !
Unless, of Course, it was an option and it's not fitted

Generally, options disabled can be re-enabled by coding. Coding can be performed by a dealer or someone with the right tools and know-how.
