Another bluetooth question

Sorry for yet another bluetooth related question. I did a quick search and could only find one slightly relevant post...

I've previously managed to get the car into pairing mode without any trouble, unfortunately I didn't have the correct code available.

Now I have the correct code, I can't get it into pairing mode at all. It's as if the button isn't working.

Is there any way to do a reset, or something I can do to prove there isn't a dodgy connection somewhere (or a dead TCU)?

Cheers :)
 
Insert key, hold button for 3, turn key to position 1 continue holding for 3 seconds then release.

And I've now lost telephone and bmw assist from the menu... Brilliant!
 
For pairing the instruction book I have says...

1. Press the button on the phone cradle for about one second and at the same time turn the ignition key to position 1

2. Release the button

3. "BLUETOOTH PAIRING" appears in the display or on the monitor if you have satnav

4. Your mobile phone should now react and ask for the 4 digit passkey

5. Enter the passkey on your phone

6. "PAIRING SUCCEEDED" appears in the display or on the monitor

You only need to do this once then it pairs automatically thereafter.
 
Went for a short drive and everything seems to reset itself.

Went into pairing mode straight away and connected with the phone at the 3rd attempt.

Strange, but glad it's working now :)
