Thanks for watching this Mark's reviews and Tutorials video. Mark is not a trained mechanic. Just a car guy that loves to drive and work on cars. What I do here may not work on your car and I am not intending to give professional advice for you to work on your car. But if you do know a bit about cars then hopefully watching these videos will help you to sort out what is going on with your car. Mark is not liable or responsible for any damage you do or things that happen to your car or yourself.
Cars are complex and dangerous things and not only can you be hurt working on them but you can also do serious and expensive damage to your car.
Cars should be worked on by qualified people, don't over reach.
What impresses me most, is that you're banging out tutorials before 6 o'clock in the morning !
the dash said pm.
You’re quite the genius aren’t you
Thank you Mark ,I purchased a 2008 3 series and tried to pair my phone to it using the confusing Bmw instructions,no joy ,Your precise were excellent,thanks so much Hugh
Glad it helped
Thank you for sharing! First BMW picked up yesterday 328i coupe! Lots to learn since it doesn’t have the owner’s manual, so thank you!

Thanks for the video, I am seeking for buy a old car (immigrant life) and I was afraid something like that didn't have in the car so really thanks, now I can worry less about have a new car.
Work for bmw the last 2 nearly 3 years and I drive an e91 never tried it on my car and excited to try it out in the morning
👏👏Thank you Mark ! This video just helped me connect my iphone to my bmw after two years 😅
Thank you so much! I have had the car for 7 flipping months and didn't know how to do that 😂
Can you listen to music with this connection?
wow! thanks bro, I had this for 7 years I didn't know this
very well explained.
i like how you go through the whole process and show us every step.
Thank you
Thanks MRT
I've got a 2007 335i same radio as shown. Android phone.
Worked perfectly.
Thanks!!!
Can’t wait to try this out tomorrow morning I’ve been trying to figure this out for months now 🤣 I’ve only just also figured out the side seat button on my chair & what it was for 🤣
Lol how did you get through months without music?😭
@@yahyardh the bluetooth works only for phone calls, you can't listen music from your phone using that bluetooth radio
@@aLLemanio97 hey there 👋 just recently purchased a 2013 bmw x1 that didnt come with Idrive controller and Infotainment system, mine has Bluetooth but im not able to play music 😅 didint know the Bluetooth works only for making phone calls Which kinda sucks 🥶
@@sleepingwithesirens9397 yea i know 😂 kinda useless but for long roads, i guess you can use it 👀
@Pierre you gotta get an aux cord
I figured it out in the heat when i first received my 328i (June 5th 2023) but i'm going to get a touch screen DIN Radio with all the features. I'm not a fan of buttons
Did you have to install a Bluetooth chip or an accessory in the back of the car radio or in place of the CD changer?
No I didn't make any alterations t the radio or car. My car has the factory bluetooth built in for both the phone calls and Music. This was a dealer option so not all cars have it fitted
hello, can you play music from your phone through the bmw radio
This is a dealer fitted option. So some cars do and some don’t. MRT
we just bought an 07 3.0si and it has a port installed by ash tray but is not functioning, it looks aftermarket but not sure, we would like to play music through the factory radio if possible@@Marksreviewsandtutorials
Great video! Is this just for the phone or can you play music too?
I have a BMW 1 series 118d it has the BMW Professional radio system but I can’t seem to find the Bluetooth on it
Not all cars had Bluetooth from the factory. It was an option fitted at the dealer. MRT
So is this something that can be done?
thank you for this quick guide, do you know how i can switch from radio to my phone or is there no music compatibility :c ?
Need to know this too
@@ishdawgy7706 i figured out that you'd need some 100€ish converter in the trunk that has to get wired, kinda complicated. i just bought a bluetooth transmitter, works out pretty well
@@QQysosrs a Bluetooth transmitter? Do you mean that you bought that instead of doing the installation in the trunk?
@@FawkYouGuy yep, it's way cheaper
@@FawkYouGuy their at Walmart for like 30$ looks like a charging adapter for the phones to plug into
Hi,Can we play music as well on this?
It depends on the system that you have, but mine could
can we play music via blutooth with that system???
or does it only allow phone calls!!
Hang on mines different. Doesn't have a Bluetooth setting. However when the aux is in anyone else's phone, the bmw connects to my phone and I can control the music !
me too
@@moarli6369 Basically I found out that mine just simply didn't have Bluetooth. I fit a screen in mine about a year ago with built in Bluetooth, but it was mostly to spice up the interior 😏
@@bradmace6144 which one did you buy? i own a 2009 328i and no bluetooth.
@@bradmace6144 you can buy a tcu/bluetooth antenna/mic to set up bluetooth factory style, bmw prewired most of these cars so everything is plug and play
@@bradmace6144 price of the screen u installed?
Mine connects but doesn’t allow me to play music via bluetooth is this normal? 328i 2007
Bluetooth was a dealer option so it depends on the car. Some have no Bluetooth. Some only do the phone calls. Some do the phone calls and music. Mark’s reviews & tutorials
Does this work for BMW X3 2004?
G'day Mark, cheers a lot dude!
Think I know the answer, but this won't allow music to be played over Bluetooth though right? Only to make and receive calls?
It depends on what was purchased with your car. Mine did play music. Some do not.
MRT
can u listen youtube from this option?
Can music be played through the phone with the Bluetooth?
Finally off today, can’t wait to try out later
I managed to pair . Thanks but why is the music from TH-cam not steaming ?? Thanks
Wow! Amen God is very good brother, I was saved a year ago, I used to be a rapper and God spoke to me whilst I was in the studio making a song and I repented the next day and ever since then I’ve been saved!!!!
Is that on all professional bmw radios as I can’t find the phone option on mine
Look for the button with the image of the phone.
Mine ether when I press the menu bottom I don’t get the phone option
I tried mine and can't be connected too... I pressed the phone button on the player and the stering too n don't get it... Is it on all the players... Mine is a E90 2007
Me too.... Mine is e90 2008.... N52
Works for music too right?
How do u make it play music? I have the x1 2014 and connected it via Bluetooth but how do I play music off Spotify to the speaker
Unfortunately this is only for calls, you need to have navigation to play music
I've got the professional, it's got the phone symbol on the radio and steering wheel but when I click on the menu I only get COMP, CONFIG & PARKED with the fan symbol?
have you figured this out yet?
@@Newt-vs3cg i‘ve got. the Same Probleme
Hey I got a question. In my BMW E90 it doesnt show the phone option in the menu. Any idea why?
Yes. It wasn’t standard. It was a dealer fitted option. So not all cars have it. MRT
@@Marksreviewsandtutorials thank you so much for the quick response. I think I will just buy a Bluetooth/phone adapter
Hi there, I whenever I press the telephone option to search for Bluetooth connection it doesn’t do anything. Is there something wrong?
Im having the same problem. Did you figure it out?
@@euniceayala2958 After watching several different videos on this subject, from reading the comments I don't think all models have bluetooth, in which case you're nobbled from the get go...
Hi Mark. Thank you for the video but can you please say how to play music? I'm struggling to do so using Bluetooth connection. Thanks in advance
Hi just wanted to ask whether you were able to play music via bluetooth or not? Please share the solution:)
@@shivnsh5163 hi,I also want to know
I think some cars come equipped with the option to play music via Bluetooth and some don’t, mine doesn’t, I can only receive calls via Bluetooth. I’ve bought an aux Bluetooth piece which is gonna arrive from post soon so hoping that does the trick.
@@TheSgtOzzy does it work? I just ordered one as well
@@raight830 Just got it yesterday and it works perfectly. It has about 5 hours battery life though so I’m assuming I’d need to charge the Bluetooth piece for like 30 mins each weekend which is do able! Would recommend
Omgg thank you for the helpful guide ! Gonna try it out soon
Thank you so much, I’ve had my car a week and couldn’t figure it out.
Great info. But tell me can I play my music playlists via Bluetooth to this type of bmw stereo?
Yes that works in my car
@@Marksreviewsandtutorials Thanks for the confirmation
@@Marksreviewsandtutorials Still can’t make it play music through my Bluetooth. Is there something I’m missing?
@@ironwarrior73 The music and the phone BT were both dealer options. So you may well be missing something that your car was never optioned with those features. MRT
@@Marksreviewsandtutorials That must be the case. Thanks again for your help.
is it the same for bmw e90 lci ? im getting one when turning 18 and wanna know how to use bluetooth on it
My issue is not that i can't connect but I hope you can help anyway. Recently my bluetooth is disconnecting during calls and i'm not sure if its a fuse issue or what. Do you think you could help me with this? Or at least point me in the right direction. Thanks for the video
I don't have that on my m 320i , don't have the telephone feature in the menu
Lol 320i
When i do this Can i only call or also Play music with it
Only call
Is there no way to play music thru the iPhone another way?
@@alinamarie1195 in some bmws there is an aux cord underneath the radio close to the gear stick
@@alinamarie1195 I’d love to know how to play music via my Bluetooth aswell
BMW missed with that cuz like danm , no music just answering phone calls?
Can I play music after connecting through Bluetooth?
Just read the comments and found the answer. Great vid btw!
Thank you thank you thank you I just found this video and it was a big help 😁 you explain very well
can i listen music trough BT?
It was a dealer fitted option. So cars can some cars cannot. MRT
How do I listen to my music I’m struggling to get it connected once Bluetooth is connected?
Ye read through the comments, a few things could be happening
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much 😊
Mine doesn't have the function in the menu, do you think I could code the function in with ncs expert ? Cheers
Ahh, some of these professional bmw radio's don't have Bluetooth, the label on the radio will verify by the Bluetooth logo, big difference in price also
Thank so much for this video 🎉
Can you listen to music with this connection?
Mine won’t find my phone anymore. I tried numerous times. Any ideas ? It’s been connected before?
Hi there, will this work on my 2006 BMW 325 ci.?
Hello I don't see this function on the radio at all, does anyone know what I need to buy or install so that I can have this function on the radio?
Hey bro can we hear muzic if i connect phone with bluetooth
Can you listen music by phone?
It depends on what was set up by the dealer at purchase. You’ll have to try yours to see. MRT
@@Marksreviewsandtutorials Is BMW professional, the same in the video, i cant try because i have to buy the car
Is Bluetooth connectivity available in 2006 e90?
Yes. But it is a dealer dot option. So you may or may not have it. MRT
I was able to pair mine but can only use the telephone features. When I use Spotify, it’s still not able to play through Bluetooth. I just get the telephone menu you showed at 3:20. Anyone know how to resolve?
I believe you can't do with Spotify. In order to solve this, you would need an adaptec which connets via USB and 3.5mm jack
@@TRusty394 disappointing but thanks. Figured a 2014 would be new enough to have that ability
@@travis8947 very true man. I was stunned myself!
@@TRusty394 sounds like that’s what I need. What is the price on that?
@@TRusty394 I tried searching for adaptec but think I was getting something different
in my BMW my radio is Called "BMW Business" so i can't listen to music right?
The Bluetooth phone and music were both dealer fitted options so it depends on what your car was fitted with.
I connected successfully. Can someone tell me what button I could press to listen to my phone music ? The radio always comes on. I have a 2011 bmw 328i xdrive
Having the same problem
@@bluex2639 did you figure something out ?
@@Cench123 Bluetooth is only for receiving and making phone calls, unfortunately you can't play music through it(you'd need a Bluetooth USB for that)
hi can you help, i have e91 2006, when i press phone button it doesnt do anything, do that mean i dont have bluetooth radio. i dont have telephone symbol when i press menu, but i have bmw pro radio.
Doesn’t wok with idrive does it?
Watch this video. th-cam.com/video/LuerHmrNdo0/w-d-xo.html
Even I am not getting phone option
You know the problem?
Now?
Me too
Can you do it on 2009 bmw 323i
What?!😮 TY for sharing
Nooo unfortunately I have exactly the same radio but it only comes up with : comp/ co fig&bmw with just dealership numbers in 😕 looks like I’m back to the aux 🤣
Same here! Is there a fix?
@@jaedenschupert pleas tell me if you found something. Need to fix it too
Can i connect my Android?
I had no problem with this, my problem is getting the car to play music from the iPhone. Specifically, Spotify but I've also tried iTunes or whatever they call that now and neither works. If it can send and receive an audio signal through the telephone it seems it should be able to do this but I've tried many times and ready to give up on it. Any idea what I'm missing?
The phone calls and music are different Bluetooth options. Not all cars came with both. They were an option turned on at the dealer and you need the right Bluetooth module. MRT
@@Marksreviewsandtutorials does both options connect the same way? I got my phone to hook up but couldn’t get it to the radio to play my music
Does this work on the 7 series
If it has the same head unit yes
Hi is that possible this car don't have Bluetooth bcz my car not showing phone sig
Yes it was a dealer fitted option. Not all cars have it
Does this radio have music streaming from the phone?
Some do some don’t. It was a dealer option.
My radio don’t show the phone symbol on the radio
How do play music from the phone thru the car
Let a friend borrow my car and now the radio looks like how it did in the beginning. Blank with only time what does that mean ? And how do I bring it back to normal
Will Apple music play through the speakers?
No, music at all will not play you can only make phone calls
Thank u. Took me 30 seconds
But does it play music from phone?
@@JustinAzeiMusic have you tried it yet?
I would imagine it would work... through Bluetooth, right!?
@@DogOfWar9167 no it only works for calls
Does this work with the Iphone 11? In the BMW official website IPhone 11 isn´t in the compatibility list i believe
Yes it does, it works with any phone with bluetooth
My 2008 335xi has a bluetooth module in the trunk yet the phone symbol doesn't appear in the radio. I can't get any BT request or anything. I owned a different 2008 335i before and it worked fine. What's going on?
The Bluetooth phone option was an option often fitted at the dealer. Not all cars have it. MRT
If you just see 2 dashes where it says “TEL” you have Bluetooth but the module is faulty, if you replace the module it should work fine
Hello i can make calls and access to my contact but i can't reproduce music I'm using android phone
Thank you so much!!
so i connected it how do i get my music to play?
So can I play music through that without hooking up a cord
Nope just phone
Merci. Mais pourquoi moi avec ma 120d je n'ai pas TEL ? Merci par avance
I got my phone connected to Bluetooth but the music is still coming out of my phone instead of the car speakers. What do I do?
Not all units can stream music. It was a dealer fitted option.
@@Marksreviewsandtutorials yeah it says headset when it's connected which is weird. I have a Motorola phone instead of an iPhone so that might be what it is. At least the aux cord works
does it work in america?
So when I click the menu button in my 07 bmw 328i sedan it only show to selections “BC” and “Config” is there something else I need to set up?
we in the same boat i dont think we got that feature
In this case, Can you play music from spotify or youtube? Tnks !
How do I clear memory if full?
When I click the menu button, I only have the other 3 options, no Bluetooth...?
same any idea to fix it
How I can connect TH-cam with the car by Bluetooth ??
thanks dude
hey mark
mine doesnt show the tel or phone option what do i do?
Not all cars have it. It was a dealer option.
Hey brother I got it to work and connect but when I play my music it still plays the radio. I am a new driver 18 just got my car any help will be appreciated
Have a read through the comments. Not all cars have these features, they were options at the dealer
I don't have telephone option!
Can you play music through your Bluetooth?
No
Thanks for the video! I'm going now to try this! 😊😅
Omg had my bmw for 3 months and I didn’t no that 😂😂😂
