BMW Universal Bluetooth
TM
Introduction
The BMW Universal Bluetooth
TM
Hands-
Free System (ULF) utilizes Bluetooth
TM
wire-
less technology to enable a wireless con-
nection to be established between a
Bluetooth
TM
enabled mobile phone and the
ULF Control Module installed in the vehicle.
The combination of these components
results in a new generation of in-vehicle
phone system.
The ULF Control Module forms an interface
that allows a mobile phone with the embed-
ded Bluetooth
TM
wireless technology feature
to be wirelessly integrated into the vehicle.
For the first time BMW is introducing a new generation hands-free telephone system kit
that provides the customer with the option of using various Bluetooth
TM
enabled mobile
phones (a list of recommended phones is available from your BMW Center).
What is Bluetooth
TM
?
The name Bluetooth
TM
is derived from the Danish King Harald Bluetooth who lived in the
10th century. He was well known for his ability to unify his kingdom and today lends his
name to a wireless technology standard that can connect/unify various electronic devices
that are Bluetooth
TM
enabled and located within a short range (approx. 10 m or 32.8 ft) of
each other.
Bluetooth
TM
wireless technology is
a short-range radio frequency tech-
nology standard that allows several
devices to communicate with each
other simultaneously. The standard
indicates that up to seven simulta-
neous connections can be estab-
lished and maintained at one time,
as long as the connected devices
are within a range of 10 m (32.8 ft).
Note: The ULF system will
allow four phones to be paired
to the system at a time and only
allow one phone to be connect-
ed at a time.
