I\u2019m returning the car, but I want to unpair it. How do I delete my phone from BMW Bluetooth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer:<\/strong> So you borrowed a car for a few weeks and connected your phone to the vehicle&#8217;s Bluetooth. What\u2019s a drive without a phone call or your favorite tunes anyway? Now you have to hand the car back over to its owner, and in turn you also need to disconnect your device from the Bluetooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the steps to unpair your device:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Turn your vehicle on if it is not on already.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From your iDrive menu, select \u201cCommunication,\u201d then \u201cManage mobile devices.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scroll through the list of available devices, one of which should be your phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the \u201cdelete\u201d or \u201cremove device\u201d option and the car will forget your device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedure may differ depending on your vehicle or the version of iDrive it is currently using.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Adding-a-phone-to-BMW-Bluetooth\">Adding a phone to BMW Bluetooth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What about the other way around? You may need to borrow a family member&#8217;s BMW or rent one while on a trip and want to connect to the car&#8217;s Bluetooth. This is also a straightforward process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Start your car and ensure Bluetooth is turned on, on your car and phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From your car\u2019s iDrive menu, select \u201cCommunication,\u201d then \u201cManage mobile devices,\u201d and lastly, choose \u201cConnect new device.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will then see multiple connection options. Choose the option you want to connect your device for, i.e. \u201cTelephone.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Bluetooth name for your BMW will be displayed on the screen. Find that name on your phone\u2019s available devices and connect.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At this point a number will display on both your iDrive and phone screen. Check to see if the number matches. You may also be asked to enter your passkey to connect instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your phone is now paired with the car and will appear on the list of available devices. Keep in mind that you cannot connect to the car\u2019s Bluetooth while driving. The car must be in park to connect to devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may also be asked to enter a Passkey, depending on the model and version of iDrive it has. If you\u2019re borrowing the car, the owner will likely know this number so go ahead and ask for it. If not, the number can be found in the owner\u2019s manual, in your settings menu within iDrive, or inside the rear panel of the trunk printed on the car\u2019s Bluetooth module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jerry-meet-experts\" data-wp-interactive=\"jerry\/meet-experts\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;modalVisible&quot;:false}\">\n  <div class=\"font-circular text-2xl font-extrabold text-slate-900\">Expert-driven.
