Code in Enhanced Bluetooth?

RalphyBMW · 03-31-2014, 04:55 AM

We looked at an i3, ended up ordering a 330d, but still find the idea of the i3 quite appealing.

I know on the F30/F31 that the Enhanced Bluetooth can be coded in if the car has connected nav, as the i3 has connected nav as standard, does anyone know if you can recode to activate the features of the enhanced BT? This was the only extra we were considering specifying, but on a personal lease you essentially end up paying for it over the term.

TIA

Not sure if anyone here has got an i3 yet... Good choice of a 330d... Same price to finance?

£75/m more than bog standard i3 w/BT.
Though granted the 330d will need diesel adding.

I have ordered an i3 and also contemplated ordering the enhanced Bluetooth but after much deliberation I thought that it doesn't warrant the £350 price tag. I felt that the upgrade had nothing to do with hardware but a software change and was also hoping that a new download would adjust the Bluetooth to read texts and I messages.
If anyone can enlighten us then that would be greatly appreciated.

It's not an option in the US.
