i cant seem to connect my phone
can anyone help.
E64 , nokia 6300 with bt phone in the cradle
if i enable bluetooth, search for the phone and the car they find each other and my phone comes up on the list of devices. but thats as far as it goes , i think the next thing on the idrive is that its looking for a connection.
anyone know whats happening ?? or if i'm doing something wrong. surely if they pair with each other shouldnt they then connect ??

I was having some problems too. When the display recognizes the phone, instead of pressing the iDrive controller down to accept, try moving it down to the 6 o'clock position. For some reason, that worked for me.

in a word .. no .
when i have entered the password on phone it then asks for the password on idrive. i move down to 6oclock so it highlights confirm password and then clik it. it then says (straight away) something like (paired , please wait for connection) or something along those lines. but it dont connect.
could it be something to do with the bt phone in the cradle in the armrest ? helllllp !!! i'm pulling my hair out here

I once had a BMW loaner car that I paired my phone with after having done the same thing with my own car. After I got my car back, the connection no longer worked, so I had to pair all over again.

Sounds like you're almost there. Try disabling ALL bluetooth devices and go through the routine again.

still a no, tried my phone and the wifes. it pairs both phones , but after you confirm passkey. it just says looking for a connection ?? and thats as far as it goes

sorry i probably wasn't very clear.
the standard bt phone sits in the cradle. the cradle isnt for the nokia, i can put my sim in the bt phone and that works /pairs and connects no problem. but the problem is with my nokia 6700. it pairs with the car but then once you confirm passkey to pair them , i just get the "waiting for connection" notice.
cheers
