BMW X3 2004 Bluetooth connection

[vladc77]

Hello all,

I am wondering if anyone can help to identify what should be done to connect phone to the internal Bluetooth interface. I located RMFD TELEMATICS CONTROL UNIT back in the trunk area. It is BMW Evedrest IBUS US / Motorola unit. It seem like it was installed at the production time since the made date of this unit is 20.05.2004.

I tried to find a way to connect the phone but no luck yet. There is no 'Activate' message (pairing mode) on CD unit display at start. There is no button under the armrest. I cannot find any buttons to click to initiate pairing. The button R/T on the steering wheel allows to access the Phonebook which is empty since I never connected the phone yet. I ran diagnostic with a primitive tool. It says the telephone unit is working with no errors. The simple task became really tough to accomplish. What I am missing to accomplish this task? Is that reasonable to think that I should have the Bluetooth connectivity if RMFD TELEMATICS CONTROL UNIT is installed. Please help to figure out what can be blocking to start using Bluetooth. Any help is highly appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
