Introduction
The BMW Universal Bluetooth TM Hands-Free System (ULF) utilizes Bluetooth TM
wireless technology to enable a wireless connection 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
embedded 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 technology
standard that allows several devices to communicate with each other
simultaneously. The standard indicates that up to seven simultaneous
connections can be established 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 connected at a time.
