Phone connection

Hey guys,

Recently joined the X5 family with a lovely 4.8is, so take it a bit easy as I'm new here.

One of the first things I noticed when I sat in the car is that the steering wheel and radio unit have buttons for use with a phone. So, obviously, I started looking into how I could connect my phone. I found the settings and tried to connect my phone, but for some reason my phone didn't see the car (it's an iPhone 5).

After a quick search, I found that my car has the following
S644A Preparation f mobile phone w Bluetooth

Is this the correct thing for what I'm trying to do? Do I need anything else for it? Or is there a possibility that something might be broken?

Haha fair enough! I don't have many with me right now, I'll try to dig some up. You guys got a thread for pictures or should I just spill them here? :D

Early 04's had a Telematics/Bluetooth module that only speaks with the BMW assist.
I don't recall the exact date that 'real' bluetooth support started, but I believe it was Sept/Oct of 2004. If your build date is earlier than that, you can't pair your phone with the existing hardware.

Great place to start, the official thread. Start a new thread as well, like, ''NEW MEMBER PICS'' etc, etc. That usually grabs everybodies attention...

Always remember that model/model year/build date is real important to answer questions sometimes...because there are many changes that occurred during the production run from 1999-2006. Cponsider creating a permanent signature that includes that info. :) Welcome :welcome:

I have - Produktionsdatum 09.03.2006 - so I believe it should work.

My car is currently in another country, so I'll try it as soon as I get to it. One thing though - I don't have a 'bluetooth passkey'. At least I don't believe it was in any of the papers I have with the car. Any way around this?
