My Ride: 2006 525i Jet Black on Black

I'm trying to setup my Blue tooth with my 2006 525i. It's asking for a password. Does anyone know what the pass code is?

Thank you

I think it's the last 5 numbers of your VIN. Almost positive on that one.

Now I can't even get to the part where it ask to enter the pass code....The device that the blue tooth had located is BMW78790. When tried to connect i get Connection unsuccessful. "<ake sure "BMW78790" is turned on and in range.

The passcode is whatever you want it to be I believe. I usually just put one 0 and that works fine.

You can enter any 4 digit passcode - then your phone will prompt you to enter the same code and voila - you'll be paired!

I just did this on mine, and this is correct. I believe that the password is just to make sure that's it's pairing with the right phone at the time. I know mine took a few tries...."connecting" with either the phone or the car first. Try different orders...and give it some time to pai.
