Hi All new to the forum having purchased a E53 2005 X5.

I was reading through the above and have a similar issue where I cannot pair the phone to the car (iPhone 4s). I have read you hold down the button under the arm rest and turn the ignition to 1/2 and the display should read pairing. However mine does not just says activate phone. I have used PA Soft and deleted the existing paired phones which was 4 since this is the limit and also via the software tried to pair but nothing happens and the phone detects no Bluetooth visible devices.

Does anyone have any experience with this type of issue.

Many thanks in advance
