Update for communication and entertainment.

The number of mobile devices on the market, e.g. mobile phones and MP3 players is growing daily. To enable you to use a selection of the latest devices in your BMW, our specialists continuously check the compatibility of these devices with the connectivity products offered by BMW:

- Bluetooth telephone preparation (optional equipment, code 644)
- USB audio interface (optional equipment, code 6FL)
- Bluetooth connectivity and USB audio interface (optional equipment, code 6NK)

Software updates allow part of the vehicle software to be updated, to enable compatibility of the latest tested Bluetooth or USB devices in the vehicle. You can perform this software update yourself. To do so, all you need is a standard USB memory stick with sufficient memory capacity. If required, your BMW Dealer will also have a USB memory stick for you to purchase.

To perform this software update, you will require the USB audio interface (included in optional equipment codes 6FL and 6NK) as well as the Control Display and iDrive. Your vehicle can be updated provided that you have the 'Software update' option on your 'Settings' menu in the Control Display.

The software updates are specifically provided to support new mobile devices. Refer to the most recent set of software update release notes, to find out if the updated software is also available for your vehicle and your device.
