I have a motorola e815, i have paired the phone to the car. The only problem is the car and phone only recognize each other about half the time. Is there something i am supposed to do to "turn it on" everytime i get in the car?

did you make sure the recognizing will be automatic. i have the razr and the first few times i had to accept the pairing on the phone. then i changed it to pair up automatically so now whenever the car is on and the phone is within range it connects.

this has been happening to me (I've got a RAZR) ever since I got the car...

I;ve read in other threads that I need to have the firmware on the phone updated...

i got my phone paired at the dealership, i remember when she did it that the car asked for a passcode, just enter in a 4-digit number and make sure you remember it. once that part is done your phone will also ask for a passcode, at this time enter in the same 4-digit code you had entered before. that should complete the process.

i have iDrive and i am not sure how to do it if you dont have the navi screen.

hope that helps buddy.

Same issue for me... I have to select phone > BT > search ...then back out of the menu on the radio to connect my phone about half of the time. I wonder if the Sept software update will address this????

I have to do the same thing with my Verizon Motorola V710 almost all of the time. The phone and the bluetooth module do not automatically find each other. I have to manually get the bluetooth module to search for my phone each time I enter the car. When they find each other, I have to exit out of the phone menu on the radio screen, or else the phone will disconnect from the bluetooth module.

I apprised the dealer of this, and they told me that they could not find a problem with the bluetooth module. So, I had Verizon replace the phone with another V710. This didn't fix the problem.

While not the end of the world, it is a bit annoying to essentially have to pair both devices each time, and it is not how BMW advertises the functionality of Bluetooth.

I have V710 and works perfect all the time. Not single problem.
For sure something is not right?
Maybe u can delete info. in phone menu Motorola Phone...
& start from beginning pairing phone & car.
If u never entered 4 digit code in car + phone, that's your problem.

hi. sorry but how come i'm the only one coming up with the "passkey" problem??


i thought it was just a random number but everyone here apparently has been able to do it without explaining the passkey part.

when i'm pairing i get the bmwxxxxx on my phone, then i hit select. my navi screen asks if i want to ADD the device, i click on that and then it asks me for a passkey. i've entered 1234 but nothing happens, i've tried 0000 and nothing. after like 30 secs my phone says it can't connect.

any help would be appreciated.

Should be able to pick any 4 numbers u want.
I believe u have to hit enter after all 4 numbers?
You have to enter same exact 4 numbers in handset to.

[puck724]

yeah thats what i said. barry626 might be more clear though. lol

[kronzprinz]
