Thanks, #1 the car has the Motorola TCU so there is no pairing button, just the steering wheel buttons. King, your suggestion is appreciated but its not applicable to my X.

UCrewX5, Regarding the Motorola pairing procedure, i tried the procedure per your link shown and the procedure in SIB 841304 (essentilly the same). The Bluetooth phone does NOT discover the car period....you never get to enter the pass key. As stated, I tried several phones......

My guess is that its some sort of a coding issue, I'm printing everything I can find to bring with me to the dealer tomorrow.

If anyones had a smilar case of NON-Pairing that was resolved via dealer coding, let me know what your dealer tried.......

Any and all info welcomed

As a side note, it's unfortunate that BMW doesnt put together a manual or some sort of a full "how to" book for the dealers to use (or insure what they send gets to the floor). The cars are advancing but the personnel don't seem to get the training on how to apply the tecnology.
This trip to the dealer will be the third time for BT that I've had to bring in printed SIB's and web instructions to them to point them in the right direction. You know they've never seen the materials when the tech grabs the service advisors, shop forman and service manager and they all start reading and trying the stuff i give them. The tech that did my car grew up with BMW and used to work on my Tii and Bavaria, long before computers, he is there head guy and this is one of the largest dealers in RI.
