BLUETOOTH PAIRING on a '05 X5

[LVR]

If you have Bluetooth installed, you will find that you have a button inside the lid of your centre console armrest that looks just like the call button on your steering wheel.

You should also have a telephone/bluetooth User Manual in amongst all your guides/service log etc. Open the cover and you should see a sticker with the security code for your Bluetooth.

Grab your phone and go to (depending on the model) connections>bluetooth>search for devices or whatever your instructions say and get it ready to search.

Press the button in the console for 3 seconds, then turn the ignition key from 0 to position 1, and hold button down for another 3 seconds, then release.

"BLUETOOTH PAIRING" will come up in whatever display you have whereby it will search for your phone. Activate the searching on your phone and the two shall meet.

Your phone will ask for the security code which you enter, then "PAIRING SUCCESFUL" should be displayed in the car. Turn the key back to 0 position and next time you start it up the car will automaticaly pair with your phone.

You should automatically have access to the phone book.

To voice dial, hold the Talk button on the steering wheel down for a few seconds until you hear a beep. Say the words "DIAL NUMBER" and then read out the number in small groups using a clear voice. If you get it wrong use the word "CORRECTION" which will erase the last group of numbers, then re-enter.

Say the words "DIAL" or "DIAL NUMBER" when the number is right and use as per normal.

The above supposes that a) you really have bluetooth, and b) that you have a compatible phone.

That is a whole 'NOTHER subject.
