Hi, my 8700g paired up straight away with no probs...

Did you turn the ignition key to pos 1 before you pressed the pairing button? The instructions aren't clear in the post about this and if you didn't the car system thinks you are trying to make a call, and of course the phone isn't there so it asks for you to activate it...

Cheers
