O.k...I own a 2000 M5 and a 2004 X5...Both with bluetooth. Both work. I'm able to pair a lot of phones with both cars.

A friend got an X3 yesterday. The Nav screen says ACTIVATE PHONE. He sets his handsets (Razor & i870) up to receive/pair and nothing happens with either phone.

I know this is how it is supposed to work in the abscence of a center console button in which to manually begin the pairing process.

Can someone give me some idea's as to what is going on? Suggestions?

Chris

P.S. The X3 has navigation and premium package
