Folks, I picked up an 05 X5 with Bluetooth and BMW assist a few weeks back but cannot get the Bluetooth to work. The screen only ever says activate phone. I've tried all the pairing methods documented online, but to no avail.

I tried pairing through my Intravee but again no joy. Turning the module off and on via INPA doesn't kick start it either, and I don't see a specific pair option there. There are no fault codes in INPA for it either.

Is there any other methods I've overlooked? Can DIS be used to activate/pair the module? I have a copy of it but have never used it so don't know where to start.

I would expect if the module was goosed it would've thrown up a fault code in INPA, but is that not necessarily the case?

Thanks in advance for any help.
