I just got bran new 2006 530i our company fleets and comapny use attws Moto V600.
However I can not connect to the bluetooth, so does my sales guy. He told me its automatically connect if I pairing the phone. But can not.
I went through all bluetooth infor available on the web but can not figure it out.
There no Bluetooth menu on Idrive as well so go figure that.
Turn on the car, accept lawer message then go to communication,
next went to click the phone menu. last least pairing the phone.... nothing.
Also there is indication for mobilephone signal strength icon.
But now my sale guy told me my V600 is older model and firmwear is not compairble to BMW.
Anyone have any clue?

Once you check the Bluetooth screen from the communication option seen on the default I drive screen, you will need to acess the I Drive screen the takes you to car communication settings (just press the idrive down form the default screen) and then to the screen that gives you communication settings for the vehichle select the Bluetooth option form the top menu. Once you are on this screen bluetooth devices can be discovered.
I believe that the bluetooth discovery is only turned on if you are on that particular screen otherwise the phone doesn't recognize any bluetooth devices.

NOT True... V600 is not old enough to "not" be supported... I dont buy it. I dont have proof but my sister has a V600 and it pairs fine, and its one of the first ones that came out... here try these instructions.

Your vehicle needs to go back to dealer to get properly set up for Bluetooth use. It comes on all 2006 models so they got to get it available to you. Then the procedues EBMCS03 gave u will work for ur phone.

Don't forget, you have to set it up initially NOT from the COMMUNICATIONS screens, but rather from the CENTER/MAIN vehicle controls screen (when you press down the puck from the initial screen after the 'accept responsibility' is ok'ed). It's as it was described by EBMCS03 above.
If that still doesn't show any ability to access phone/bluetooth functions, then others are correct, that the dealer needs to enable the bluetooth functionality for you first. Then the other steps will work fine.
And Motorola has always worked with Bluetooth very well, they abide by the standards better than the other hardware manufacturers. Your phone is not the problem.

A 2006 model should definitely have BT.
I recently took 2005 car in to dealer to have audio aux input installed. As part of process, they had to upgrade software. Technician mentioned that he did not have time to add the BT option. I explained to him that it was already on the car. So, it may be that your car has not been programmed for BT while it is capable in all other respects. Your dealer should be able to get this straightened out. Try to deal with service people instead of sales. The sales guys really know nothing about what they're selling.
Good Luck
