Just bought the car.... Has full Comms pack.....

BMW-GB says that my car was specced with Bluetooth from new.
The guy that sold me the car said it has Bluetooth although he has never worked it.
I also have the silver box in the boot to indicate I have it.

I JUST CANT GET IT TO WORK AND ITS DRIVING ME MAD.

Everyone (including the owners manual) says I should press a button just above the storage compartment. Where is this button? I dont see any buttons. The only button in or around the armrest is the Bluetooth Logo button which just ejects the tray and nothing else.

People talk of a button that looks like the profile of a human face etc. Yes I have one of those buttons but its on the steering wheel and I have tried using that one for the pairing procedure and no joy at all.

Can anyone shed any light...?

I have posted some pics to be sure I have the buttons I am supposed to or just put me out of my misery and tell me I have bought a car without bluetooth.

All help greatly appreciated.

Although that button ejects it if you hold it down while following the key on off instructions in manual should get you into pairing mode... I think I youtubed it when I first got mine

If you weren't such a dirtymonkey I'd kiss you!!!!

I got outta bed at 1.40am ie. Right now to try your advice.

And it works!!!!

The manual shows a button of a face. Doesn't say that is the eject button that doubles up.

Anyway. I am eternally greatful. I have tested it by ringing my friends and family to tell them the good news.

Pmsl... At least they can have a lie in.... It's what Sunday's are for....on that note I'm off to bed

I love a happy ending.

You see the "face" button on that location if you had a phone cradle

I have an iPhone 3G cradle and that has the bluetooth icon

So what exactly is the cradle for apart from charging?

Uses the external aerial, so better reception.
