Car owners who drive a BMW 3 or 5 series or X5 built between 2002 and 2006 and want a way to bring their car's sound system up to date often consider a BMW Bluetooth retrofit for their automobile.

What Is Bluetooth?

You've probably heard of Bluetooth, but may have questions on exactly what it is, how it works or why it makes sense to equip an older vehicle with a BMW Bluetooth retrofit.

Bluetooth technology (named after a rather despotic Scandinavian king of the late Viking Age) is really a type of electronic protocol an industry standard that allows different electronic devices such as personal computers, printers, cell phones, and a wide range of digital devices to connect to each other and exchange information without the need for cumbersome cables and wires. It operates in a manner that is similar to a short-range radio frequency.

Uses and Capabilities

Bluetooth is highly effective for small devices that are in close proximity (up to 100 meters apart, depending on whether the device is Class I, II or III). Because of this, a BMW Bluetooth retrofit is ideal for the small, enclosed environment of an automobile interior.

If you're like many busy people, you have a mobile phone with you and activated most of the time including drive time. However, use of a cell phone while driving is unsafe, and actually illegal in many places. By installing a BMW Bluetooth retrofit in your classic vehicle, you'll enjoy hands-free communication when receiving an important call while behind the wheel. You won't even have to remove your cell phone from your pocket!

Taking It To The Next Level

A BMW Bluetooth retrofit allows you to integrate your cell phone into your vehicle quickly and easily. One of the most useful aspects of this is the ability to activate your cell phone and dial a number using voice commands. Another benefit of the BMW Bluetooth retrofit is that it allows you to dial numbers automatically simply by speaking the number you wish to dial.

In addition, newer phones and navigation systems can display information right on your vehicle's own digital displays (i.e., the instrument cluster).

No More Missed Calls

You probably enjoy playing your radio or CDs while commuting. You'll be glad to know that the BMW Bluetooth retrofit automatically mutes the music or other audio programming when receiving or making a call.
