Update 11/2025: The BMW Bluetooth adapter is finally back in stock again .

BMW Bluetooth Adapter

Product description

This Bluetooth adapter is easy to install, and adds Bluetooth music playback to the original radio of selected old BMW models before 1996 and IBUS by emulating the CD changer. The adapter is compatible with BMW E30, E31, E32, E34 and E36 models, depending on the head unit. See the list below.

The adapter can be installed behind the dashboard and plugs into the CD changer connector of your radio. This also means that if present, the CD changer can no longer be used.

Features

  • Radio buttons can be used for play, pause, and next/previous track
  • Bluetooth volume can be controlled with buttons on the radio
  • Adapter remembers and tries to connect to the last connected phone
  • Some basic status information is shown on the radio display

The adapter does not support showing title or artist information on the display. The adapter does not support hands-free calling. It is for audio playback only.
