Press the button by the handbrake untill it bleeps. You will need the code, If its not in your paperwork get back to me and I will tell you where to find it.

 

Oh yeh ignition on while holding button

 

Wow - thanks for the quick reply. i'll check it out after work and get back to you. From your responses I assume it means I have bluetooth installed?

 

I can't tell you if it's installed but you will know if it bleeps. If you have a look on you tube it shows you how to do it. Look for BMW bluetooth. Getting the code is a little harder but easy.

 

If you have the phone option on the menu and the pairing button then you have bluetooth installed. A 2003 car is likely to have an early bluetooth module, unless it's been replaced, so it may not work with an iPhone.

The pairing mechanism is stupidly dificult to activate untill you've got the hang of it :

Ignition off
Press and hold the pairing button in the center consol
wait 2 seconds
Ignition to position I (accessory)
wait 2 seconds
release pairing button

In pairing mode you have to search for bluetooth accesories with your phone, pari to it and enter the 4 digit pass code that should have come with the car documentation on a card about the same size as the owners manual. If you don't have the card then the key is also printed on the side of the bluetooth module, but this is located behind the trunk trim on the left side near the Nav computer.

 

I tried it and it worked perfectly. Actually it didn't bleep.. With the ignition off I held down the button by the handbrake for 3 seconds... turned the ignition to position 2 let go of the button and 3 seconds later bluetooth pairing was displayed on the sat nav. Luckily I managed to find the pass key in my documentation. works great! Thanks alot for your help.

 

Pleeeeease help - I have the same problem, but I don't have my 4 digit code. The garage never supplied it and as I'm entering court action with them shortly over work they should have done but never carried out i can't talk to them.
I get the pairing indication on the radio but my phone (iphone 3GS) asks for a code and i don't have it. How can i get it. BMW say i probably need a new module and could cost me up to £600.
Thanks for any help.

 

Is this trunk trim easy to remove? Where is it?
Cheers

 

It's not too hard to remove the trim. The ULF is on the left side of the boot, the pass key is printed on the side.
