How do I pair a game controller via Bluetooth in my 2025 BMW X3 30 xDrive or 2025 BMW X3 M50 xDrive?

Up to two game controllers can be connected to the vehicle at the same time in order to control certain game apps. The corresponding apps can be downloaded from the ConnectedDrive Store. If attempting to pair an additional game controller, a paired game controller must be unpaired first.

 

Perform the following to pair the game controller with the vehicle:

  1. Turn on the game controller and enable Bluetooth pairing.
  2. Apps menu
  3. "All"
  4. "Game controllers"
  5. "Connect device" or "Connect new device". The list of game controllers detected by the vehicle and ready for pairing is displayed.
  6. Select the desired game controller. The selected game controller will be paired and connected.

 

Please Note: It is recommended to use game controllers of the same type. This function can only be used when the vehicle is at a standstill.
