Bluetooth pairing with Z4M with sat nav
Hi,
I've just got a Z4M and was looking for some instructions \ advice on how to pair it to my iPhone 3GS.
The manual has been next to useless and from the web searching I've done it seems a bit of a black art.
Any advice greatly appreciated
Cheers

Re: Bluetooth pairing with Z4M with sat nav
Hello, every time i need to pair a new phone with my M i just follow the instructions on the phone/nav manual and it works fine. I dont remember the steps by heart though.

Bluetooth pairing with Z4M with sat nav
Turn Bluetooth on on your phone. 1. Press the Bluetooth button on car for 3 seconds, 2. then turn ignition to position 1 (ignition on but engine off) hold the button for another 3 seconds and your phone should then "see" the car. 3. Once it does select the car on your phone. It'll say something like BMW 1234 then enter your Bluetooth code from the manual.
Done!
To be honest mine was temperamental and I had to turn the bluetooth on after just doing step 2 from above and it worked.
It did take several goes

Re: Bluetooth pairing with Z4M with sat nav
BTW On mine I had to hold the button on the phone cradle rather than on the steering wheel.

Re: Bluetooth pairing with Z4M with sat nav
Yay!
I've successfully paired the phone. Think I'll take some pics of the process as it's a bit weird (compared to the E92 anyway ).
Went like this
1) The button in between the seats in the drop down console is the "Bluetooth" button. Hold this for 3 secs
2) Turn the ignition key to position 1
3) At this point the NAV screen displayed the elusive "PAIRING MODE" message
4) Go to your phone, you should see BMW#### show up as an additional device (mines initially said headset then changed to BMW#####)
5) Pair device from the bluetooth settings on phone, you'll be asked for the Bluetooth Key that was provided with the car.
6) NAV screen will display "PAIRING...." followed by "PAIRING COMPLETE"
Hit the R/T button on the wheel and it scroll through your contacts.
Awesomeness

Re: Bluetooth pairing with Z4M with sat nav
Thanks for a handy thread. I'd spend a hour faffing with the useless manual. This routine is spot on.

Re: Bluetooth pairing with Z4M with sat nav
T1berious, could you kindly post a photo of the bluetooth pairing button...I always understood that the button was on the MSFW . I haven't ever got my car to show bluetooth pairing yet .
I have the iphone 3GS snap-in adaptor in my car as well. Don't know if this makes a difference?
I've tried numerous methods and none of them have made it say "pairing mode" nor has it come up on my phone .

Sorry about the delay
Here's the pic
So you hold this button down for seconds prior to turning the ignition to position 1

Re: Bluetooth pairing with Z4M with sat nav
I just tried to follow this process to pair my iphone, but it didn't seem to work straightaway.
Eventually I did get it working and paired, but only by pressing the blue tooth button for 3 secs (inside the centre console) with the ignition turned on (position 1) - if I started the proces (by pushing the button) with the iginition off (position 0) - as suggested above (and in the manual) I couldn't get any "pairing" messages up on the screen.
Thanks to Disca for the help here.
