Jsears, how do you "Delete" other pairings.... how do you even get into that mode? In regards to having your iPhone in paring mode, you mean just go into settings then general then bluetooth and leave it on that screen?

Thanks
In the X5 you do not delete any pairings. From my understanding the X5 B/T can make up to 4 pairings. Once the 4 pairings have been met the next time you pair a device with the X5 it will delete the 1st pairing that was created.

When I said I had to delete the other pairings I meant on my iPhone, also make sure there are no other B/T devices around when you pair. When I got my X5 I paired my phone at the dealership and I was confused of which car was really mine since I got 10 BMW's in discovery mode. But it should show up as BMWXXXXX where the X's are the final 5 digits of your VIN number.

Make sure you are on the B/T screen on your iPhone, this will tell you if you are discoverable and also that it has located the car's B/T. Once I figured out the flow of directions I had no issues connecting.

If you press 'Menu' on your navigation and go into the Phone menu does it list your iPhone's name in there? If so, that means your B/T is already paired. It took a while for the phonebook to sync to the X5 for me, but while it was syncing I could make calls by dialing the number.

I find it odd that the dealer checked out your B/T but did not help you establish the pairing with your iPhone.
