  • Hi, this 'How To' video shows you how to connect your Apple iPod, iPhone, MP3 or mobile phone to a 2013 BMW 3 Series (E92) to allow you to play your music through the cars speakers. Others cars will have a similar setup.
    Many thanks Vince

    Many thanks. My 2007 3 Series was not fitted with Bluetooth (I bought it second hand). So being able to play my music from my iPhone is a bonus.

      where did you buy the second hand Bluetooth? And how did you install it?

      @@colearmourr This might be an old comment, but there are straight Bluetooth Audio-to-Aux devices. They are battery-powered and usually charged through a micro-USB cable, which you can connect to your cigarrete lighter port to charge once in a while. Then, just have your phone directly connecto to this small device. The device itself will not fit if you directly connect it to the aux port, so you need to use a short Male-to-Female aux cable just for the flexibility.

    They should have made a way for the cable to be inserted elsewhere...or made a hole that allows one to close the middle cover

    I have a bmw320d i have been using aux for 2 years now but suddenly i cant switch it to the aux no more. When i press audio it goes from radio to CD and back to radio. Anyone know how i can fix this?

    • @eddies.8314
      @eddies.8314 Před 6 lety

      3 months late to answer this, but maybe you're still wondering - mine disappeared after the car was disconnected from the battery (I was putting a new one in), so now you need to "code" it back. I haven't done it myself yet, but there's lots of tutorials everywhere on how to code and simply set AUX to "active".

    I tried doing the same with my 2009 facelift E91 'cause how hard can it be to plug in a wire from your phone to your car's jack, right ? Well, it doesn't work, it's like the jack in the car isn't connected to anything. And I saw a lot of BMW owners complaining about this.
