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

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

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:

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.

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.

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

Should be four digits on a fone tho !

[Guest Mister Dabsy]

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
