I have just bought an r53 Cooper s (2006) & may have a feature that I can't seem to find anything on in the manual.

I have the multi function steering wheel & the CC definitely works so it is connected & functioning.

On the left "thumb-rest" there are 6 buttons, 2 of which are described as "used to switch between radio/telephone mode" or something similar & "open/close phone call" which makes me think I have bluetooth, alas I can find nothing in the manual about pairing or anything else.

Am I missing something?

I have done the vin check myself & it does say multi function steering wheel in the spec, but there is nothing mentioning bluetooth that I can see.

That in itself is helpful, I have now gone down a different route that hopefully will end up with a similar end result.

I have bought a bluetooth adaptor that plugs in there the CD changer input is that allegedly will give me bluetooth, it is encouraging that you find the buttons work hopefully mine will too.
