When you pair your car and phone, you are creating a secure personal network over which the two devices can communicate. I hope this helps anyone who has been struggling with this. On any other normal bluetooth paring I've ever seen, the side you're trying to pair with displays a passcode you should puch into your phone to pair, or vice versa. The iPhone 8 address book doesn't connect. When I go to settings, it only allows pairing a new phone, even recognizing existing phone is already paired. I am considering buying an 2007 530i but I really need to be able to play my music and audio books from my iPhone through the sound system.
You make up your own 6 digit passcode. It won't let me scroll to existing phone, seems stuck on pair a new phone. Once you enter the second passkey, your Bluetooth connection is established. All u have to do is go to the bluetooth screen and start the pairing process. I discovered how exactly to do this on my own after searching for over an hour online with no results on how to actually do it.
The iPhone was now connected and worked flawlessly. I have a 2006 X3 and 2007 530i that this procedure worked flawlessly on. Enable bluetooth on your iPhone and let the iPhone find the car. My 2008 335i and the 2017 iPhone8 won't connect follow the very clear directions with care. Ok guys I figured it out.
Will I be able to do that or is it just the call functions that I will be able to use once the Bluetooth is paired? I connected today using the cable in the console. It actually is a little more temperamental than the Gen1, but after messing around for a bit, it functions flawlessly. I can confirm it works on 2. Happened before, but eventually recognized existing phone. . I was experiencing the same issue with my 645ci. Will I be able to do that or is it just the call functions that I will be able to use once the Bluetooth is paired? Whatever four digit pin u put in the phone make sure u enter the same four digit pin in the bluetooth in ur car.
Rather u pick 0000 or 1234 its ur choice the car does not have a preset passkey. Access the Bluetooth menu on your phone and enable the Bluetooth function. Create a passkey and enter it on your phone. I am considering buying an 2007 530i but I really need to be able to play my music and audio books from my iPhone through the sound system. This can be any number up to 16 digits in length. I just chose 123456 and typed that into my iPhone. I had to load the number I was calling.
So far, the software in the 2008 335 is prehistoric. So this is what to do: 1. Before your phone and car can connect, they have to go through the Bluetooth connection process, called pairing. You make up your own 6 digit passcode. Good timing: I had no issues with my gen1 on my 05 M3. I just chose 123456 and typed that into my iPhone. .
