2006 R 50 auto blue tooth ready ?

I have heard that the car is " bluetooth" ready with the controls on the steering wheel??

Is this true ????

Be nice to have.......but not interested in doing a major rewiring..

Appreciate any and all comments

Usually not, and the factory Bluetooth module for the steering wheel button was some ridiculous price, like around $500. The wheels were just configured and pre-wired for the option.

I bought an aftermarket one off eBay for 88.00 that you hook up to your factory radio and it works amazing! Steering wheel controls work also with you Bluetooth device.

They have some options for the Bluetooth ready MINIs here:

I have the full Bluetooth kit on my R52.
