Does the 2004 BMW 530i have Bluetooth?
I recently acquired a 2004 BMW 530i and wonder whether it has the technology to support wireless phone pairing. Does the 2004 BMW 530i have Bluetooth?
Andrew Biro · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Your 2004 BMW 530i might not have Bluetooth if it was built before March of 2004 due to technological limitations in the telematics control unit (TCU).
If, however, your 2004 BMW 530i was built in March or a later month, it likely has the physical capabilities to support Bluetooth. Still, it would have required a module and software update from the dealership to activate it.
If the original owner did not choose to pay extra for these upgrades, it is unlikely you will be able to enable Bluetooth in your 2004 BMW 530i, as BMW discontinued the specific module needed for this model several years ago.
Trying to find a Bluetooth module compatible with an older vehicle can be a hassle, but reducing your
BMW 530i’s insurance costs
