I have recently acquired a 2003 E60 5 Series.

It came with a mobile snap in adaptor in the centre arm rest, looks like it fits a Nokia 6310.

I have tried with a couple of phones to hook up via their bluetooth but to no avail - they have found no device in the car.

My questions are:

- How can I find out if my car is bluetooth enabled?
- Assuming the snap in adaptor is for a Nokia 6310, is it guaranteed to work?


Many thanks.

If, with the ignition on, you press and hold the steering wheel button (phone symbol) for a couple of seconds, do you get a tone/beep?

If you do, then there is a very good chance you have the bluetooth option installed. The very fact you have the snap adaptor is a good sign.

Also, if you look in the boot area (left hand side behind carpet on a 320), you should ahve a module called a bluetooth MULF module. I will try and find where they normally install these on your vehicle.

Check your I series communications (I think it's north direction!).

Go into communications and check for pairing options. I think you can do it from the main screen and pushing down too (ie settings).

Nokia 6310 only partially compatible. Won't show full details on screen, however, 6310i is fully compatible.

I have used both in mine, much to the amusement of my 11 year old son who says it is a 'rubbish phone'. Times like this you realise age is creeping up on you.

I went through the I Menu to communications and had my phone (Sony Eriksson W910i) set up in less than a minute. Contacts downloaded too!

Again - many thanks for the advice/help above.

Actually, now I come to think of it...how do you take out the snap in adaptor? I wont be using the one I have so would like to take it out so I can use the space for storage....

simply push the button mate and it pops out,

it's the button with the white (what looks like a USB symbol) in the centre of this picture.

May want to offer the adaptor to someone on here or ebay it, they have a value.

Snap in Adaptor

I am new to the forum, so excuse my numptiness, but I have a just purchased a 535d which belonged to a friends deceased relative. The car seems to be very highly specified with so many buttons and gadgets that I have only been able to scratch the surface with the manual and wondered if someone can tell me the following:-

it has a snap in adaptor in the centre counsel - is there a simple way of identifying what phone this will fit?

how can I tell if it has "speech" operation, I have pressed the button on the steering wheel but nothing seems to happen, so I assume it does not - I can get my phone to work via bluetooth and it all connects and I get phonebook etc, so the snap in is not essential.
