I have a 2003 E85 and previously had a iphone 5s paired with it and had no issues. I bought a iphone 8 and now I cant get it to pair. I can get to the pairing screen and can find the BMW ULF on the phone and it will connect but a second later it says "Not Connected".
I am still to try and clear the paired phones (it might have reachecd its max) but if this doesnt cure the issue, what are my options for getting handsfree working? I have the DSP amp and sat nav with music playing from my phone through an Intravee.
If I need to go third party I would be looking for something "economic" cos this isnt my daily drive.
Ideas?

Never mind. I cleared the stored phones and managed to get it paired. Cheers.

Sorry, back at this one.
Phone pairs and phone book is available. Phone will also ring through the car system when called and I can accept the call using the car but the voice of the caller won’t come through.
Anyone know what might be causing this? There are no stored phones - only this one.

Ok. Since the iphone 5 worked ok I can only assume that the bluetooth module isnt compatible with the iphone 8. Can I just buy a more up to date module from ebay and replace the one fitted to the car? Or should I be looking at a Parrot option? Ideally I dont want anything visible - is this do-able?.

Got a very similar issue with pairing two Blackberry phones. The Classic from about 4 years ago is fine, the KeyOne from18 months ago will only pair the same as the iPhone in the above post. Suppose it's a different type of Bluetooth protocol or something.
The stereo is only the standard Business CD system, so aftermarket Kenwood going in
