BMW 530d Communication Problems

Patelv5 · 02-19-2009, 11:49 AM

Hi,

I've just bought a 2005 530d. I am having issue with the phone. I see that it has been wired up for a phone since in the centre console I see the phone adapter. However when I go to IDrive I don't see an option for Bluetooth. I just get the message Activate Phone. Does anyone know how I activate it and whether it would be possible to have the phone connection in the centre console but not have bluetooth? Any help would be much appreciated Thanks.

I guess you should pair your phone, search in options for BT setup.

Are you in the communication menu (up on the iDrive)? You have to pair the phone through the main menu (push down on the controller). I don't know which interface you have, but there should be a communication setup option somewhere.
