Pairing Blackberry to Mini Stereo

[snibboh]

Hello all, i am fairly new to this... I just purchased a used 2006 Mini Cooper S, and it didnt come with the instructions on how to pair my phone to the cars stereo... My steering wheel has the controls to answer calls and the R/T button, but to be honest im not even 100% sure it has bluetooth in it or not. Is there a way to find out if i have bluetooth, and if i do how do i pair my phone to the stereo? I believe it has a mic on the roof just beside the sunroof controls... mb thats just a small speaker.... any help would be great!!!

IF you have bluetooth then your car will have a centre console armrest with a dock for the phone......
If not them you do not have bluetooth, it was a very rare expensive option.

i dont think theres a dock, my center armrest opens and i just store change there lmao! I have a new stereo i could install into the mini that has bluetooth, i was just hoping i wouldnt have to.

If you have BT it will show up when you push the Audio select button.
My shows Radio, CD, Phone(BT), AUX(Mp3 & iPod) input.
If you have it go to MINIusa.com and there's downloadable instructions.
Works great once you get it paired...

hm, mine goes radio, cd, and then ipod, no phone... but then why the controls on the steering wheel? and is that a microphone on the roof beside my sunroof controls...? i cant picture it being a speaker... just so i know if i need a microphone or not when i install the new car stereo with bluetooth in it.

The steering wheel controls are on all MFSW with/without bluetooth.
Its a grill for a microphone, no mic its empty.
