E53 Bluetooth - Unable to pair new phones

Hi Guys,

I have an E53 4.4i (2005 Australian Upgrade model), and the Bluetooth seems to be malfunctioning. When I first got the car, I had no problems pairing both my Nokia and my Wife's Nokia, however as time has gone on, we've both bought new phones (I have an iPhone 3GS, and she has my old 3G), and we can't seem to be able to get the computer into the Bluetooth Pairing mode, which is outlined in the supplementary guide in the Owners Handbook.

I follow the guide, which says to turn the Phone on (which it is, and discoverable). Then I press the button inside the Centre Console for more than a second, and turn the key to Accessories (position 1). After that, nothing happens. I've started the car with the button held down, I've turned the Key to position 2, still nothing. I'm expecting to see "Bluetooth Pairing" on the dashboard screen, but nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to reset the Bluetooth Module (by pulling the fuse), or is the module itself faulty? Just for the record, my Nokia 6233 still pairs fine with the car when it is started. I just can't pair any new phones with the system.

Thanks guys.
