Noob question

Hey guys,

This may sound dumb, but I have no idea if my car has bluetooth capability. There are buttons on the steering wheel and a button on the radio unit. User manuals aren't helpful as well.

Its a 2008 BMW 135i. (E82) Can someone help me please?

Thanks in advance.

The phone buttons is a standard feature on the car.
My car didn't have the factory fitted car kit. Got a Nokia one installed, it operates with those buttons.

Have you done a Bluetooth scan with your phone to see if it detects the car kit?

Are you in Cape Town? If you are, are you coming on the run tomorrow?

Sorry for a hijack, but are there kits that work with the steering buttons?

Your car will not have the capability if it was not chosen as an extra. The M-Sport steering wheel and I think the normal one as well have the buttons there in anycase as a feature 'if' the option is chosen.

My parrot kit does.

Yep, I have a Parrot one that does, but nothing beats the OEM one for decent integration, especially if you have iDrive.

Cool, thanks for the responses, will look into the parrot kit.
