connecting cell phone to 2012 Coupe

HELP!!!
I have searched through the Navigation and Audio threads and can't seem to locate IF
1. MY 2012 COUPE HAS BLUE TOOTH (IT MUST? IT ASKS FOR PHONE COMMANDS)
2. you have instruction on how to link my phone to my car. Can you please take pity on a Mini Sister and SHARE THEM please?? The manuals that I received as a used car purchase were incomplete and can't find any information on how to do it. I wave and park next to Mini's and compliment Minions on their stripes and their MTTS stickers and all. I'm following the rules....

My MINI has the navigation screen which basically guides the user step by step to linking their phone. I'd assume yours doesn't come with the big screen so I can't help you much. However, all your questions can be found using one "sticky" thread here on NAM:
Information Sources - manuals, parts, repairs, and more!

(i.e.: links to full owners manuals by MINI USA and VIN decoders)

PS.: How does your car "ask for phone commands"?

The Bluetooth will only work for phone calls, not music, if you weren't already aware. Here's the instructions for connecting your phone to Bluetooth:

Was wanting to do the same.
Found this article which has a Bluetooth link device that may work for you.
