My Ride: 2005 BMW 545i, Silver Grey, Sport Package, R. Shades, Cold Pkg, Sat. Rad., Prem. Sound.
I bought a Razr V3 and paired it with the car fine the first time. Then, the phone broke after less than 1 month, I so traded it for another brand new Razr V3 (black). I have spend hours and hours pairing this new phone but it doesn't pair. Below is the issue:
1. I have deleted the old Motorola entry in the bimmer. There are no device on the list.
2. I have read every word carefully on pairing to the point that I can quote a line.
3. My V3 detects the BMWxxxx, but it is unable to connect despite entering all sorts of codes on the idrive screen. Tried 0000, 1234, 1111, 9999, etc. Nothing seems to work.
Here's what happened:
BT is On for the V3. I'm in the connectable screen of the bimmer. I look for devices on the V3. It finds, "BMWxxxx." On the phone, I select the BMWxxxx device (pairing begins). Then the bimmer ask to "add device." I select "add device." Immediately, the bimmer ask to put in the code. I immediately put in the code (1234) and press Enter. On the V3, it still says, "Seeking BMWxxxx." At this point, my V3 should ask me for the code that I put in the bimmer. It does not ask me. After about 20 seconds, the V3 says, "unable to connect." :'(
I can connect a H300 headset to the V3 just fine, but the BMW or the Motorola will not pair with each other. Please help me before I waste hours at the dealer will probably fine out they have to reset my BT. I've also tried to turn of the BT on bimmer and turn it back on. Tried turning of the car completely too. Is there a way to reset the Idrive with a NO Nav system?

Seems like your doing everything right, wish I could help.
I press the Return key (small arrow box) instead of the "confirm Password Key" box (window) after inputing the password on the CID. You know how the enter key on the computer looks like the return arrow symbol on the CID . . .
