My Ride: 530i base model

Default Samsung gs3 not pairing

Hello folks, I done some searching on this but cannot find an answer or solution to this.
I have a 2006 530i and I had the HTC sensation android 4.1 paired to my car, I switched to the Samsung galaxy s 3 android 4.3 and this won't pair to my bt.
I go thru all the motions and follow the prompts then it says it can connect to bmw, ineed help on this or any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

It seems that it is 4.3 that is the problem. On the phone go to 'Applications Manager', then 'Running' and scroll down to find 'Bluetooth PB'. Click on STOP and you should then find that the phone book will pair and load.

Unfortunately you will have to do this each time you get into the car.

Still haven't found a solution to this, it's amazing how much trouble this is on an expensive car!

I have a Galaxy S3 mini and it pairs with my '07 530xi fine. It's possible it has something to do with the CCC programming. The electronics improved with each subsequent year but I agree, it shouldn't be this difficult with a luxury brand.
