So I just picked up my '05 530i yesterday and I can't and don't know how to connect the BT. I go to the i menu and set the BT and my phone is able to find the BT and asks if I want to add it, then it prompts me for a password on idrive AND my phone...so my question is where are these passwords? I looked through the entire owners' manual and driver reference guide and not one mention of BT. Any suggestions?

Just pick your own password and enter it on both devices...

Any four-digit password. I suspect that most people choose 0000

Cool! Thanks for the input. I'm going to try to pair them on my lunch break and see if it works!
