I just got a new Motorola Razr with Verizon service and was wondering if anyone had successfully paired this phone with the bluetooth connection in the car. My preliminary efforts have failed, although I must admit I haven't read the instructions all that closely yet.

May well be the most used phone in an E60 although with Verizon as service provider it may be questionable. Really need to do a search over on our Bluetooth and Cell Phone forum. There you will find MANY threads/posts regarding your subject.

Razr from Cingular is one of the BMW approved BT phones. Verizon cripples their BT stack (so you have to pay their network fees), so not surprising it won't pair. But since you said you haven't read the instructions that closely, suggest you do!

yes, check out the Bluetooth and Cell phone forum - others have got it to pair. And oh yes, RTFM

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
Verizon disables some bluetooth functionalities in their phones.
Verison sucks.
Verizon is being sued.
Did I mention that I don't like Verizon?

Okay, it works! It even imported the phone book. I knew that with a little persistence I could successfully avoid reading the manual!
