picked my bmw 3series tonight , well impressed part chopped a freelander like driving a tank in comparison to my BMW , need 2 sort bluetooth out got a passkeycode but no instructions , any help appreciated (male it idiot proof lol)

Im in the same boat as you mate.but I dont even have a a passcode...where did you get this from?

If you dont have onboard computer I think you can "Pair" by holding the phone button... A guess !

BMW passkey should be with owners manual Gav, other wise the dreaded dealer :angry:

Whats an owners manual?

Ring a dealer and give them the last seven digits of your VIN and they should be nice enough to give it you there n then... Also ask how to pair ;)

Choose phone from the car menu,

Turn on phone's bluetooth,

Hit search,

Your phone should find cars bluetooth signal,

Enter the code when asked. I think the car & phone needs the code.

RESULT ... If you have the code :rolleyes:

Hey guys, I've used '1234' as the default bluetooth passcode for two different cars.

Worth a try.

Ill try that thanks

You don't need a passcode

YOU set the passcode....choose passcode as 5 zero's on the sterio

your phone will then ask for a passcode....use 5 zero's

Done

This is a security measure to ensure you get the correct phone paired for example if there were two iphones in the car both named iPhone you ensure you get the correct phone paired by correctly inputting the code into the sterio and one of the phones.

Should be four digits on a fone tho !

Four Zero's is good UNLESS the previous owner was a c*ck !

doesn't matter the code is ONLY used for the first handshake to get the phones Bluetooth chip Mac address so that future connections can be automatically made

the codes are never stored on the sterio or the phone

bluetooth authentication codes can be upto 7 digits
