E53 vs iPhone 4

Post by ArthurSleep » Thu May 31, 2012 10:13 pm

Right, with my E53 finally here, parked outside & newly serviced it's time to start jumping through my first hoops.

Top of the agenda is to get my iPhone 4 synched up to the in-car Bluetooth.
I've noticed a few thread on this but none of late. Have any iPhone 4 owners succeeded with this recently? Any advice?

Tried a quick turn to Position 1 / Position 2 on the ignition whilst pressing the phone button in the vain hope it would just work.
No lights. Nothing. :headbang:
Next is to check the wiring inside the front arm rest to see if anything has become detached as there wasn't even sniff of it trying to sync. :thumbsdown:

Where's next to go from there? Would there be a particular fuse to check in the back in relation to the Bluetooth?

My wife and I have both synched our iPhone 4 without problem just by following the instructions in the manual. Have you cleared all previous phones from the memory? If that doesn't cure it then you may be looking at a HW fault.
I have it in iBooks, I got it from http://www.bmwmotorsports.org/pdf/bluet ... Manual.pdf.
