Default Pairing iphone 5s with idrives bluetooth problem

Has anyone managed it? Or is the phone too new? All my phone says is that the cars bluetooth is off or out of range, even though i'm sat in the car
Any help is appreciated

Have you ever paired a BT phone with your car? You didn't indicate that, so I don't want to assume you know that routine...

You tried deleting all the existing BT phones from the car, and retrying?

They are very unreliable units. Mine doesn't work at all.
