What Is Bluetooth - BMW E85 Manual

Advantages of the ULF:
- Thanks to automatic configuration of the wireless connection
in the vehicle, no operating functions whatsoever are required
for daily use. A cordless connection is established automati-
cally while making available the familiar comfort functions
(handset pick-up, telephone book selection).
- The control function of Bluetooth mobile phones are stand-
ardized irrespective of the manufacturer and therefore allow
connection of the telephone of different manufacturers and
types to the ULF in BMW Group vehicles.

- What is Bluetooth?

The name Bluetooth is derived from the Danish king of the same
name who lived in the 10th century. He united and unified his
kingdom and today lends his name to a technology that
connects devices in the short radio range.
Bluetooth is a new short-range radio standard that allows
several devices to communicate with each other simultaneously.
In contrast, only one connection can be set up simultaneously
between two devices operating on infrared interfaces. Commu-
nication can therefore only take place "point to point." The
distance between the devices must not be greater than 1 meter.
