Bluetooth check for mobile end devices with a Bluetooth connection

The Integrated Measurement Interface Box (IMIB) makes it possible to carry out a Bluetooth check in the vehicle. The IMIB acts in a similar way to a mobile phone, and can be connected to the vehicle to checked in this way. Please refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the procedure for establishing a Bluetooth connection to the vehicle, also known as Bluetooth pairing. A procedure for carrying out the Bluetooth check is available in the ISTA diagnosis system.

NOTE: It is necessary to connect the IMIB to an ISID via the network in order to carry out the Bluetooth check. The result of the Bluetooth check is recorded in the diagnosis report. The Bluetooth check must be used as an additional tool for performing diagnoses on BMW group vehicles. If the check has not been performed successfully, a vehicle diagnosis must be performed using ISTA! Warranty-related invoicing can only take place after a full diagnosis has taken place.

In order to carry out the Bluetooth checks successfully, the following general conditions must be taken into consideration.

The latest software must be installed on the IMIB.
Battery charger connected.
Ignition turned on.
During the Bluetooth check, the IMIB must be on the driver's seat of the vehicle being checked.
Determine the Bluetooth passkey if necessary.

NOTE: The Bluetooth passkey to be used can be found in the vehicle documentation or on the label on the telephone control unit for vehicles E46, E83, E53, E85, E86, E65, E66, E67, E68 and RR1, RR2, RR3 (depending on equipment). This can additionally be read out via diagnosis and the control unit functions of the telephone control unit.

The examples listed in the description refer only to connections with BMW vehicles. The system behaves identically for vehicles of the type MINI or Rolls-Royce.

Follow the instructions in the procedure when performing the Bluetooth check.
