BMW Professional RDS Radio Bluetooth Upgrade Service

This software is currently in the final testing phase and the service is not yet available.

It is being tested in everyday use in real vehicles to ensure OEM-level reliability and to eliminate any remaining issues before the release, which is planned within the next few months.

If you’re interested, feel free to contact me to be notified when the service becomes available.

For the following services you would need to send your Professional RDS (BE2450/BE2455) to Estonia.

In this conversion, the AM function is disabled and replaced with a high-quality Bluetooth module. All other radio features continue to work as usual (FM, cassette and CD-changer). To activate Bluetooth mode, simply press the AM button – the sound quality is crystal clear.

The next/previous track, play/pause, and call answer/reject/end functions are all operated directly from the radio’s and steering wheel buttons – no need to touch your smartphone.

Contact

Custom text(s) and image(s) for the Bluetooth mode. You can choose what is displayed on the screen:

1️⃣ WELCOME MESSAGE (shown only once every time Bluetooth mode is selected)

You can display your own custom texts on lines A (top) and/or line B (bottom) and/or image(s)/animations when the radio is switched to Bluetooth mode. All welcome elements (texts and images) can together be enabled or disabled in the settings menu:

MUSIC INFORMATION

The music title is displayed on line A (this can also be disabled). The artist name can be shown immediately after the title on line A, on the bottom line B, or also turned off separately.

2️⃣ CUSTOM TEXT AFTER MUSIC INFORMATION

You can again set your own texts on lines A and/or B that appears after the music information (track / artist) has been shown. These can be different than welcome texts. If you leave both lines empty, the display will only show the music and artist information if enabled (and/or screensaver, if enabled).

3️⃣ SCREENSAVERS

Screensaver images (if enabled) appear after the music information is displayed. You can choose from the existing examples below or request a custom design to match your exact car — model, wheels or other personal details. Different elements can also be combined (for example, a car silhouette from one image and text or effects from another). Previews will be sent for your approval before the radio is shipped.

You can choose multiple screensavers, but to keep the preparation time reasonable, please limit fully custom designs (custom text, new layouts or special requests) to only a few selections. Combining elements from the existing examples is quick and easy but more complex custom designs may take additional time and depending on the complexity, may also involve an extra fee.

Selected screensavers are saved as presets, allowing you to easily switch between them later from the menu:
