My MY04 April build came with a BT passkey card, but I don't find "Communications Settings" when I press on the CID. What does this mean?

I had a lot of trouble getting to the "bluetooth" screen because the posted instructions from BMW, and copied here above, are just not accurate enough (therefore wrong) I had two trips to the stealer over this very issue and got quite pissed before it got resolved.
There is one missing step that I will photograph for those of us that care. otherwise it paired up no problem with my Razr V3
I have attached a few flies that are helpful for bluetooth/voice/NAV some have see before

Hi folks,
Many thanks for the useful FAQ. Just like some other users I don't have a Bluetooth option in the communication settings screen. I have a 2004 545i. Does this mean I am out of luck and cannot use BT phone? I do have a printed card with a Passkey card.
Or is there an upgrade that BMW can provide? I must admit that I am pretty frustrated with the lack of guidance from BMW in this regard. I have recently had the car in for service for 10 days because I was told that the 545i is the "nemesis" of the service center because it is such a complicated car.
Anyway, if any of you can shed some light I'd appreciate it.
Cheers,
Mike
