I have a 2006 530d and the bluetooth contactable menu will not allow me to check the box to enable bluetooth pairing

it is so frustrating and I do not know what to do

has anyone had this problem and is there a simple solution

You might need coding done to activate the BT feature.

Either that or find an indy locally who can do coding for you for less.

You must FIRST make your cell phone "discoverable" ... follow the procedure EXACTLY as written in your owner's manual
