Bluetooth connection to BMW 5 series

I cannot get my new Q10 to hold the pairing with my BMW 5 series for more than about 5 seconds.  Is there a fix for this, please?

Yes change your car to an Audi.
What OS are you using as I believe there were some earlier OS problems with Bluetooth?

  • Bluetooth connection to BMW 5 series since update to 10.3.1.1565

    Since i updated my Z10 to 10.3.1.1565 the bluetooth-connection to my BMW 530d GT (Modell 2013/2014) failed.
    The Z10 recognises the car bluetooth system, but the connection fails. The infoscreen in the BMW asks for OK to a ID number on the screen. But the Z10 does not have a popup with this number.
    Before the update i had a good connection and the activation process worked.
    It whoud be nice if somebody can help, because i need a phone connection in the car.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    BB has released 3 updates in the last couple of weeks, so I recommend you update to the very most recent, and do so via AutoLoader. Otherwise, fall back (also via AutoLoader) to the version that was functional for you (and be sure to turn OFF automatic updates).
    Good luck!

  • Occasional loss of bluetooth connection with BMW or will not sync sometimes

    there have been numerous times that my iphone either would lose it's bluetooth connection or will not sync with my bmw's bluetooth system. it has been necessary to turn off my iphone and turn it back on, then the bluetooth link syncs. does anyone know if this is a glitch in the iphone awaiting an update

    I'm having the same problem except, I am using the iPhone and the new Bluetake bluetooth headset. Both the phone by itself and the headset by itself are fabulous however, I continue to lose the sinc between the two. Is anyone else having this problem and can help?

  • Spotty Bluetooth connectivity in BMW after 3.0

    iPhone hardly ever syncs up with car ever since upgrading to 3.0... let me know if anyone else has noticed this.

    I know this thread has been going for a while but I just recently upgraded my Iphone to 3.0 and lost my ability to use the Ipod function of my Iphone. My regular Ipod works fine when plugged into my BMW 335i with Nav unit. However, when I plug in my Iphone I receive the "No External Devices" message. I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting with no joy. Similar to what others have written, I had perfect function prior to the upgrade. On a positive note, the echo that used to be present during Bluetooth phone operations has gone away and become perfectly clear. Also, why do I get a "Device not supported. Do you want to use Airplane Mode?" message when I plug in the Iphone and is there a fix for it either from Apple or BMW?
    Thanks,
    Alan

  • Connection with BMW car Bluetooth Problem. Curve 9320

    I have a problem with the connection with my BMW car (series 3 model 2012). I have a Curve 9320 BlackBerry with 7.1 bundle OS (V7.1.0.907, platform 9.49.0.98).
    When I connect the Blackberry to the BMW bluetooth everything works fine. After this though the Blackberry cannot  open anymore the files attached to the e-mails. If I reset the device by disconnecting the bactery and restart it soon after that the Black berry can open the files attached to the e-mail. It work fine until it connects again to the bluetooth of the BMW. So far this is the only problem I found, the other functions work just fine.
    Someone can help me?
    Thanks

    Yup, same issue.
    I have to disconnect the lead from the phone before answering a call.  Somewhat hard sometimes when driving...

  • How to connect my cannon mx470 series printer with bluetooth to my mini mac?

    how to connect my cannon mx470 series printer with Bluetooth to my mini mac

    Does the printer actually support BlueTooth? If the printer is wireless, then most likely it uses Wi-Fi. Did you read the user guide that came with it? Or contact Canon tech support at their website.

  • Compatible Nokia with bluetooth BMW 3 series

    Can anyone confirm me wich Nokia model is completely 100% compatible with the original bluetooth device of a 2007 BMW 3 series. I know that with the 6230i there's no problem, but are there others...
    Same question for a 2007 Volvo S80. With Nokia N72 there is no compatibility.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi pawally
    There are only three Nokia models fully compatible:
    6230i, 6233 and the old faithful 6310i.

  • Blackberry 9300 bluetooth not connected to vaio E series bluetooth

    My blackberry curve 9300 bluetooth device not get connected to vaio E series with windows 7 (64 bit). Kindly help me how can i connect my blackberry to my laptop.

    Ah I see.
    Thanks for the reply..
    Then I guess the problem is not the "Connected" part but the fact that I get this message..."The Device doesn't have the necessary services" after I select the file to be sent to my bluetooth device. I had thought that because there wasn't a green light connection that they weren't talking to each other. There must be some setting in my phone I need to activate or something?

  • BMW 3 SERIES

    I just got my iphone 3G. However, I haven't managed to connect it to my Bmw 3 series, neither a Mercedes GL550 (yes I have to cradle for it). My major concern is the Bmw, so does anyone know if the iphone can actually connect to it?

    Hi, I have a BMW 5 series and my iphone connects to the bluetooth. Although, I don't have a cradle. I connect the phone through the idrive counsel. If you click on the "i" in the center, go to settings, and find the option that says "bluetooth." Then turn on the bluetooth on your iphone and it should connect automatically. Both the phone and the car are going to ask for a password. Just enter the same 4 digit number for both. It should work after that.
    I hope this helps

  • Ios 5.0.1 + Iphone 4 bluetooth connection issue with car stereo

    My Iphone 4 will not connect with my new JVC car stereo I have spoken to JVC customer support and they say its an Apple issue that they need to fix (changed something with the bluetooth connection scripts in the latest update update, as they have done before).
    The phone finds the stereo and then tries to pair with it, however half way through the pairing process the phone losses connection with the stereo and the pairing is then deleted.
    I have deleted all the existing pairing in the phone memory and ensured that the stereo has been rebooted to ensure no conflict of previous installs would effect the process
    Does anyone know if Apple are going to fix this glitch in a new softwre update (and if so when is it being released) as at the minute i have an expensive stereo which is cant use to its full ability?

    Similar problems occured when Apple released iOS 4 last year. It was NOT fixed with an update from Apple. It was fixed by the system vendors and automakers releasing updates for their equipment. There are ongoing complaints from people with some Toyota built cars (Toyota and Lexus) with some systems as well as some BMW drivers.
    I'm willing to bet money that the head unit you have is not fully standards compliant. Unfortunately, getting JVC to admit that is going to be nearly impossible. I suspect they will just quietly issue an update sometime in the next few months. Assuming the head unit can be updated by the end user at all.  You may have to resort to an inexpensive visor mount speaker phone in the mean-time.

  • Bluetooth connection between car & iphone stopped; won't reconnect

    The bluetooth connection between my car (BMW) and my iphone just stopped one day. Had it back to the dealer to reset connections, and it wouldn't reconnect - altho' the service guy's iphone connected just fine. Any idea how to rectify this? service guy said the problem is with the phone software, not the car's.

    One possible solution is that you have multiple devices connecting at the same time.
    I have both my Blackberry phone and my iPad paired. If my phone connection is active, I can't pair my iPad.
    This isn't usually an issue for me because I usually only listen to my iPad on my way to work when my phone isn't liable to ring anyway.

    I have installed the latest software updates on the nano an followed the connection instuctions in the BMW manual.
    Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Try resetting the iPod by holding down Menu and Select for 6-10 seconds...
    Resetting iPod
    It may take several attempts. The above link also has "tips" if your iPod does not seem to be resetting.
    Also, I may not remember correctly, but I though that the iPod was supposed to display OK to Disconnect when connected.
    Certainly looks that way from the video on this site...

  • Can't pair Nokia 6700 to BMW 5 series (E60)

    Hello,
    Some days ago I've bought a Nokia 6700, now I have a problem to pair the phone via bluetooth to my car (BMW 5 series - E60). The phone just doesn't detect the car at all...
    I've tried to pair the phone with another car (BMW X5), this worked without any problem.
    Can anyone give me advice to solve my problem?
    Thanks!
    Beem

    Cant give you advice but for info, today purchased a Nokia 6700 paired up with 57 plate 530d m sport no problem works just fine shows full contact list, previouse phone N95 8gb paired up but no contacts info. 6700 is on the latest BMW compatiable list.

  • IOS8 Bluetooth broken for BMW and VW factory handsfree

    Since upgrading to IOS8, both iPhone 5C and iPhone 4s have issues in both BMW and VW handsfree, that worked perfectly under IOS 7.x - other iPhone 5c works fine under IOS7.
    Phones connect and sync phone books, then drops connection.  Attempt to make or receive call - no audio, must revert to handset or speaker mode.
    Doesn't seem to be car manufacturer specific based on posts, Apple may need to review if indeed IOS8 has broken something in the BT specs.
    I think I will revert to IOS7 if possible, safety is my concern for the family.

    The way I fixed my issue -
    Backup your iphone to your PC/Desktop/Laptop.    
    Reset your iphone to Factory Defaults   (General - Reset - Erase All Content & Settings).
    This will bring you back to the "Welcome" screen.
    Tap through all the welcome screens - but when it asks you if you want to restore your phone or setup as a new user.    Choose the option to setup as a new user (DO NOT restore from your icloud backup).
    This will leave you with a brand new setup of your iphone with no data or apps (except the default apps).
    Then go out to your car and pair it with your car and test.    It should work fine.
    then go back in the house and hookup the iphone to your PC/Desktop/Laptop using the USB cable and you should be able to see the apps that were loaded and click on them to reinstall them back to the phone and then add your contacts, calendar, etc.
    The bluetooth connectivity was very important to me to get working, even if I had to manually type my contacts back into my phone.   I use Exchange for my email so my contacts, appointments, etc loaded the minute I added my mail account back to the phone.
    Good luck.
    This is what I found worked for me.    Hope it helps.
    Worst case - if it doesnt work - wipe the phone to factory defaults again and then restore from your last icloud backup.
