BMW Communication System WCS-1

What is pairing?

Pairing 

Pairing is the process of ena-
bling two Bluetooth devices 
to communicate for the first 
time.

Any two Bluetooth devices 
have to be "introduced" to each 
other before they can commu-
nicate.

This applies to communication 
between two helmets equipped 
with the BMW WCS-1 commu-
nication system, and between 
a helmet with the BMW WCS-1 
communication system and 
some other Bluetooth device.

In the case of the BMW WCS-1 
communication system, pairing 
takes place in setup mode, in 
other words after the device is 
switched on.
