How do I connect a game controller when my game controller doesn't pair automatically in my 2025 BMW X3 30 xDrive or 2025 BMW X3 M50 xDrive?

Perform the following on the iDrive screen if a game controller does not pair automatically:

  1. Apps menu
  2. "All"
  3. "Game controllers".
  4. Tap the "game controller" icon on the desired game controller or select the desired game controller from the list. The selected game controller will be connected.

 

If the game controller does not pair after completing these steps, proceed as follows:

  1. Enable Bluetooth pairing, on the game controller
  2. Apps menu
  3. "All"
  4. "Game controllers".
  5. Tap the "game controller" icon on the desired game controller or select the desired game controller from the list. The selected game controller will be connected.
