To use Enhanced Bluetooth with Wireless Charging, you first need to pair your device with the vehicle and download the BMW Connected App. The app adds extra features to your Car-Net accounts, such as internet radio and remote access. Just download the app from the iTunes or Google Play store and sign in using the same credentials that you use for BMW Car-Net.

Once your device is paired, you can use it to make and receive calls, listen to music, and navigate using the car’s built-in navigation system. The audio will play through the car’s speakers, and you can use the steering wheel controls to adjust the volume or skip tracks. You can also use the voice commands to control your phone’s music playback.

The built-in charging pad is located on the center console and it supports Qi-compatible devices. Just place your device on the charging pad and it will start to charge. The charging pad has a light that will indicate when your device is charging. The light will turn off when your device is fully charged.
