Activating phone

SuperGreg · #1 09-02-2005, 10:28 PM

I just installed the AA BT retro kit. I am now trying to pair up the phone with the car. Message on nav screen says "activate phone", and voice says "turn phone on".

Should I assume that this means that I need to take it to the dealer to have it recoded, and to have the phone functionality activated??

Thanks in advance,

Greg

i would guess you do have to get it recoded, the dealer told me that mine (2002 x5) would have to get coded if i put the bt module.

On my 2005, "activate phone" meant to pair it via Bluetooth. There was a 4 digit passkey that had to be punched in to make them connect. Did you not get a small slip of paper that has that number listed?

Thanks! Mine is also a 2002 (11/01 prod.) It was pre-wired for the phone though.

Yes I did, but where or how do I enter the passkey number?

It keeps telling me now to "turn on the phone" when I try to pair. So I'm sure the car's computer does NOT have the phone activated. Looks like a trip to the dealer is in order.

you need to do a bluetooth device search with your phone (V3 I assume). Then enter the ULF passkey into you phone when they ask for pairing code. Call me on the cell if you need help..

Thanks for the reply Josh. I did a BT device search many times with my V3. The V3 was unable to locate anything during it's search. I can't locate your phone number. Could you please PM me with it? I'll then call you later this a.m. Shouldn't the Nav Screen need to show "Bluetooth Pairing" or at least have the 3 led lights blinking before my phone will be able to "find" it?

Thanks in advance,

Greg
