Pairing e70 w/ KRZR

Nevermind.. I'm a noob.
I'm generally not that technically challenged, and my only defense is that this is my first time w/ an iDrive System.
I should have read the manual word for word vs. skimming it and looking at the 'pretty pictures'.

My mistake:
After entering a passkey, and since the right arrow (which points left) is 'backspace', I kept selecting the top left arrow as "enter" not realizing the phrase "Confirm Passkey" was an 'option' vs. a statement/direction.
The eureka came to me as I remembered doing something similar w/ the address book and wondering why it wouldn't save.

Anyways, if this helps another noob, then great.... but if it's painfully obvious, then just delete this dumb post.


----original post-------
Hi,
Been lurking for awhile during my wait on delivery. Now that I have the vehicle, I've had quite a bit of difficulty in pairing my KRZR w/ the e70.

Generally, the steps I've taken are as follows:
- w/ the iDrive menu at the Bluetooth/Phone menu
- I search for devices on the phone
- "BMW#####" comes up as being detected (where # is a digit.. can't remember off hand now)
- I try to connect to this 'device'
- the vehicle recognizes the phone trying to pair and asks to accept or reject
- once accepting, I am required to enter a 'code' through the iDrive system
- this is where the problem occurs... I have no idea what code I should be using. I know there's the phone's default code of 0000 but that doesn't work (it is a new out of box phone so I haven't changed a thing)

Previous BT pairings on other devices (past experiences) generally requires one device to choose a code and the connecting device to match the same code. However, on the phone, there's no place to "set" the code....

I'm at a loss... and I'm not sure whether this would be better suited on a cellphone forum, but.. whatever you guys can help with, is much appreciated.

Thanks
