Hi,



You will need to turn bluetooth on for your phone and set the car's radio to pair/find phone mode. I am not sure about your vehicle, but you will need to create and enter the passkey quickly and confirm it or else the whole operation will abort. (I have a 2007 525xi)

The car's bluetooth system will go into pairing mode automatically everytime you start the car. Turn on the %26quot;discoverable%26quot; option on your phone's bluetooth option and if it connects put in your code to pair it. Otherwise you can pair it through the radio buttons or iDrive.



If it does not connect when you try any of these, your car does not have bluetooth. I have these buttons too but unfortunately they don't do anything.
