Newbie Advice.
Hi. I'm new to this site and bmw ownership and would appreciate some advice. I've recently bought a 2013 116d efficient dynamics business.
My understanding was that this comes with the bmw business advanced media package which has voice control activation. I can't get the voice control to work. Pressing the button on the steering wheel doesn't do anything. So questions: 1. Should voice be enabled with this media package? 2 if yes, do I need to do anything to configure it? Any advice would be appreciated. |

1. It looks like it takes either Professional navigation or (6NS) "Enhanced Bluetooth telephone with USB & Voice Control" to have this feature.
2. Say "Please!". No you don't (the language you speak is presumably set, but that does not add it): the button you noticed is all it takes, provided it's there (according to the manual, page 21). |

I tried "please" an when that didn't work I tried a load of expletives. Funily enough that didn't work either!
How can I tell if I have enhanced or not, and if not can I upgrade to it? Thanks for your help. |

A few links regarding upgrade: 1. Retrofit USB - Help; 2. Enable Enhanced Bluetooth (EBT) Package on BMW 1-Series F20/F21; 3. Combox Media Retrofit. Last edited by No one; 03-16-2016 at 07:21 PM.. |

Thanks again for your help. The VIN website is useful, and I'll check that out over the weekend.
It's a "nice to have", but if it costs £3000, as iBeech quotes in one of your links, I think I'll learn to live without it! |
