I have a 2004 / so far the dealers I have called (Sterling, Crevier) can't help / maybe I'm just reaching the wrong person?

I have a v600 and I'd like to make it work...ive read all the posts on the subject...but it sure would be nice to have a local dealer that can help

What is your build date. If you have a post 3-04 production you can get the software upgrade and cable connected by BOB SMITH BMW in Calabasas

Thanks but even at 15 pages I don't think that post is going to steer me in the direction of a dealer in my local area that knows what the hell they are doing . And as I mentioned...at this point that's what I'm looking for...a dealer in my area that can help me...I'm not looking to help my dealer figure this stuff out. But again thanks for the link...I appreciate your attempt at helping

Call Bob Smith and schedule a vist. Arrange a time, where you can get a rental or a loaner. Loaners are free only if you bought from them so you may have to pay for a rental. Leave the car overnight. The Service manager to speak to is Giovanni. The service technician who did my retrofit is JT. He has a V600 so will be able to test his work. I would drop the car off on a Thursday evening and pick it up on Saturday morning. That way you won't suffer the traffic back to Huntington Beach on friday or any evening. And trust me its the best service center in Southern California. You will see what I mean when you get there.

The SW Version you need is V13.3. If you have it you will see a Bluetooth menu in the communications menu in I-Drive. Then the pairing process is as follows:

1. From the start menu press briefly down on the controller.
2. Scroll down to the "Communication settings" and select.
3. Select "Bluetooth" and press controller.
4. Select "Settings" and press controller.
5. Select "Bluetooth communication active" and press the controller to activate the connection.
6. Exit back to the start menu.

PAIRING THE HANDSET TO THE VEHICLE E60/E63/E64

Turn the key on.

From the start menu press briefly down on the controller.

Scroll down to the "Communication settings" and select.

Select "Bluetooth" and press controller.

Select "Phone" and press controller.

Once the message "Bluetooth connectable in this menu" is displayed the vehicle is in pairable mode.

Your handset should now be set to search for BT devices. See the Owner's Manual for your handset

In order to pair you must enter a random passkey both via the handset and via the CID. The passkey can be any number that you choose up to 16 digits long.

Via the CID select "Add device" and press controller.

Enter your passkey. Depending on the handset, you will have approximately 30 seconds to enter the passkey on the handset and the CID.

Enter the same passkey in the handset and in the display.

Select "Confirm passkey and press the controller.

After a few seconds your device will be listed.

Depending on the handset, the device will ask you to accept connection.

You must exit this menu in order for the handset to operate correctly.

Turn the key off. When the key is turned on the handset will connect and transfer the phonebook entries from the handset. This may take several minutes depending on the size of the phonebook.
