Have a 07 328xi new to me. It is non-idrive. It says BMW Professional on the head unit.

I Was trying to pair my phone to Bluetooth and nothing comes up to begin the process. Is it possible that even though it has the buttons on the steering wheel and radio that the phone feature is not included? Or is it just broke?

Also, was setting up the radio and I do not seem to have access to equalizer settings like I have seen in videos or read about here.

What gives?

it may or may not have had those options in your vehicle...

in 2007, BT required a TCU (option 644) (or MULF (option 6FL) with a slight modification)

Equalizer is only available with Logic 7 (option 677) / Harman Kardon (option 688)

All cars get the buttons but not all have bluetooth.
You can run a Vin check on one of the BMW VIn checkers
and see whats installed if you don't have the original paperwork.

Can you point me to one of the VIN checkers?

Also these wouldn't happen to be easy upgrades if I don't have them would they?

Not particularly EZ if you don't know what you are doing, & parts are of course expensive

Do Search on forum for BT retrofits, there are many threads detailing the various ways of getting BT on a car that doesn't already have it...


Or you could just go out & buy the new Dynavin N6 Radio which incorporates BT functionality that works with OEM steering wheel buttons along with a lot of other features including Navigation, Ipod USB, 7" Touch Screen, Back-Up Camera capability...

google bmw vin checker
there is a few some of them give more info
can't tell you which ones so try several.
The cars before 2010 came prewired for options
so its not as hard in those. There is a bluetooth sticky at
the top of the page . The trouble is there are a lot
of versions of the bluetooth module I would try to get
a mulf that will allow you USB at least if you the OEM route.
The modules can be found used on ebay and the forums
the car must be programmed to see them and work with them.
If you have Hi Fi you don't have an equalizer
only the L7 = Top Hi Fi
has that.

See description in third link(and first link)
read the other links to become familiar with what you have
and what is possible.
