That depends on if you have bluetooth built into your TCU (telephone control module) of if it is an added accessory. If it is built in then the passkey is on the label of the TCU, or can be pulled from the module in diagnosis using the GT1 at the dealer.
If it is added afterwards, the code can usually be set. What ever code it asks for, enter the same code on both the car and phone and it just remembers.

I had to dig my module out of the left rear access cover area. It was the outermost module, but to get to, to see the passkey I had to remove the spare tire cover and the plastic form on the left side to see the module. The module had a sticker and the four digit passkey was on that. Something like PK 1234. Then the standard paring instructions found here or on the BMW website should get you up and running.

I'm pretty sure the Bluetooth is already in the X being that it is an 05 with premium and the assist package. I took the car to the dealer today for some other small maintenance and asked them to provide the PassKey when I pick it up in a day or two. I guess my next question would involve the pairing of the phone.
The first step I took was to place the phone is search status then I pushed the R/T button on the wheel -- when I did that the dashboard read Activate Phone however, the phone could not find a BT signal. ..Am I still doing something wrong or is there another way to go about this process. I really appreciate your help (both posts)... Thanks again... |

I just worked on an 05 today with bluetooth and had to test it... all it took was hitting "find devices" on my phone then putting in the passkey in the phone as well. Worked perfectly.

I just followed the instructions in the Bluetooth Manual that came with the car. The pairing worked like they said. I don't have it handy to recit, if you don't have it.
If you sign up at bmwusa.com, and put in your vin, they come up with an owner's manual, and a interactive video type thing on pairing your device with your vehicle. |

My tech called today and they need the X until Friday...only had it a week and it has been in the shop for half of my shelf life...Hopefully when I get it back they'll have everything fixed. I hope the BT works...

Thanks for the help -- worked fine for my blackberry storm but didnt work at all for my wife's phone -- she has an LG VX8700. dont know if that's a phone that works with the system or not. I was able to pair the LG, however, it tried to load the phonebook for 5 minutes and I gave up. Needless to say, now my wife is demanding a blackberry...ugh! I'd rather spend the extra $ on mods...oh well as they say, "A happy wife leads to a happy life" right?
