Universal BluetoothTM Hands-Free System (ULF)
Introduction
The BMW Universal BluetoothTM Hands-Free System (ULF) utilizes BluetoothTM
wireless technology to enable a wireless connection to be established between a
BluetoothTM enabled mobile phone and the ULF Control Module installed in the
vehicle. The combination of these components results in a new generation of invehicle phone system.
The ULF Control Module forms an interface that allows a mobile phone with the
embedded BluetoothTM wireless technology feature to be wirelessly integrated into
the vehicle. For the first time BMW is introducing a new generation hands-free
telephone system kit that provides the customer with the option of using various
BluetoothTM enabled mobile phones (a list of recommended phones is available
from your BMW Center).

What is BluetoothTM?
The name BluetoothTM is derived from the Danish King Harald Bluetooth who lived
in the 10th century. He was well known for his ability to unify his kingdom and
today lends his name to a wireless technology standard that can connect/unify
various electronic devices that are BluetoothTM enabled and located within a short
range (approx. 10 m or 32.8 ft) of each other.
BluetoothTM wireless technology is a short-range radio frequency technology
standard that allows several devices to communicate with each other
simultaneously. The standard indic ates that up to seven simultaneous
connections can be established and maintained at one time, as long as the
connected devices are within a range of 10 m (32.8 ft).
Note: The ULF system will allow four phones to be paired to the system at a time
and only allow one phone to be connected at a time.

Wireless Communication
Communication/Security
The system uses the license-free, global Industrial Scientific Medical band (ISM)
at 2.45 GHz. This frequency range from 2.402 GHz to 2.480 GHz is subdivided
into 79 channels with a 1 MHz bandwidth.
Signals transmitted through the airways can be scrambled and unscrambled to
enhance communication security. With BluetoothTM technology, communication
frequencies are changed 1600 times per second to reduce the risk of
interference or interception of the transmitted signal. The relatively small
operating range of approx. 10 m (32.8 ft) also enhances the security of this
technology, since tampering with the transmitted data is only possible when
inside the 10 m (32.8 ft) wireless “network”.
To further enhance the security of this short-range wireless network the ULF
system requires a pairing procedure to be carried out for each device that will be
introduced into the network. As part of this procedure a required passkey must
be entered once (during the initial pairing procedure) to establish a secure
connection between the phone and the ULF Control Module.
Data and Voice
BluetoothTM was developed for the transmission of both voice as well as data. A
bandwidth of approx. 1 MB/s is available for this purpose.
BluetoothTM Enabled Phones
Ideally all phones that are BluetoothTM enabled should work with the ULF
system, however not all phones utilize the same profiles and therefore may not
be recognized by the ULF System. A list of recommended BluetoothTM enabled
phones is available from your BMW Center.
