Re: Can't connect iphone to e90 320i (2008)
Hi bro,
On my previous E90 (2009 model), there was no factory fitted built-in bluetooth feature. When I enquired at PML to get quote for instsllation, it was in excess of a couple of thousands including the adapter for iphone.
Above said, if you have a GPS setup eg Garmin etc, you can link your iphone via bluetooth directly to the device & it will function very similar.
Hopw it helps...cheers!

I just got my pre owned bimmer and trying to connect my iPhone to it. I can't seem to find the bluetooth setup option.
Can anyone help me? How do I connect? Is it possible that there's no Bluetooth capability in my bimmer?

If you are thinking of using your mobile phone in the car, you can also consider getting an in-car bluetooth speakerphone. There are many good ones in the market:
- Jabra Cruiser/ Cruiser 2/ Freeway (new)
- Plantronics K100
- Blueant S4 (new) - not available in SG and I have an order from Amazon coming soon
All priced between 100-198. Cheap handsfree solution, if you ask me.

Bro,
if you have a "aux" input (those that you plug in the aux cable to iphone) then you can can listen to your iphone music and also act as a handfree for calls. (although the voice quality is not that great.) This is a cheap option as you only need a aux cable. But the speech from the other party is broadcast over the speakers in your car so it's good if you are alone....

Thanks for the solutions and information guys.
Mohan, it's a few thousand dollars? For Bluetooth module and iPhone connector??? rip off.
Perhaps the agent in Malaysia do it for a more reasonable price?

1st step ensure your iPhone volume is maxed out.
Turn volume up on car stereo slowly
If still no sound .... It could either be cable problem or the aux jack faulty.
If car stereo volume is high, when removing mini jack from the aux connector u should hear some sounds... If no sound, the aux input is likely to be faulty.
Good luck

HI guys,
sorry to dig up this thread, as i am trying to pair it myself too. I googled and found the below video:
i have not had the chance to try it yet, will go home and try tonight.
Alternatively does anybody has any work around solutions to it?
Thanks for reading. Dew

Hi KhazamPC, alternatively, if your ride comes with the Garmin GPS, you can try pairing it with your iphone too. Cheers. dew.
