Picked up my new (05) 530i today, and after 10 years of driving benz E classes, I have to say, this may be the nicest car I have ever driven! I mean, it is a special feeling....now, the only problem I am having is bluetooth... I think my sales consultant was a little afraid of the bluetooth control as he kept telling me that I would need to contact Cingular to get it running as my phone was likely not compatible.
I have Nokia 6230 and I have seen posts that discuss this phone and that it does work pretty well.
I think my problem may simply begin with the fact that when I go to 'communications', 'bluetooth' is not coming up...I can drill down through other menus and find it, and it says its active (chec box), but when I try to get it to pairing mode, I get nowhere. I am using the instructions found here on the forum, from BMW.
Any ideas for this newbie?
Thanks!

You configure BT here. Then go to the blue Com menu for using the phone. If you cannot find the Bluetooth then maybe you car needs to be coded.

I too spent a while working out how to add my 6320.
I haven't had a connect/disconnect problem though. Check yr mobile phone, to make sure that the BMW paired device is set to "Auto Connection without confirmation"
It is under SETTINGS then CONECTIVITY then BLUETOOTH then PAIRED DEVICES and then highlight the BMW pairing and hit OPTIONS and then scroll down to AUTO-CONN WITHOUT CONFIRMATION.
You have probably tried all this though! Good luck.

I am going to check with Nokia again tomorrow, but if I run into the same problem, I will need to switch phones, probably to a V551...I understand it works well, but it has a lowly VGA camera...Thanks Again!
