My 530i will be delivered in a few weeks, but I am very curious to find out if BT is functional on the car.
I went to my brother-in-law's car which was delivered just a few days ago. I tried to pair it on my phone, but it can't find anynew devices. Does that mean it has no BT on it? Or do I have to do something on the i-drive to make it detectable (if BT exists on the car?)
Thanks,

[/quote]Right, I would have noticed that if he had given his location. It is so difficult to help people on this board if you have no clue what car they have.

just as a guide if you do have bluetooth, this is where the manual is unclear, to pair the phone and car you need to be in that menu in idrive and then tell your phone to find a bluetooth handsfree device. The phone will then search and should come up with "BMW*****" you will now see that your I drive screen has changed and shows an alpha numeric display and you have 30secs to input your passkey. This is any number you think of 4 to 16 digits (the easiest is 1111) punch that into your phone key pad and again into the idrive. Voala your done!!! the i drive sceen will then show you phone type and signature
hope this helps
