update: Storm was working great until last night.

I upgraded my 8830 to a Storm (previous storm was my work phone), and it wouldn't pair (device saw car and car saw device, but wouldn't connect after putting in a pin), so I deleted all of the phones from Idrive and the car from the work storm, and now nothing pairs.

Anyone have any suggestions on resetting the bluetooth module in the car?

I just bought a Blackberry Storm and cannot get it to sync with my 2005 BMW X5. It will not even recognize my bluetooth. Has anybody had the same problem? I read somewhere that you can get a different code for the Bluetooth through Blackberry, is this true?

1. pair phone with the car
2. go to settings on your phone
3. then options
4. then click on bluetooth, it should show the paired device (in this case for me it shows BMW49310)
5. high light the paired device (BMW....) and click the menu key on the phone (next to trackball in my phone)
6. then click on device properties
7. select Yes for "Trusted" option. this will allow your phone to trust your BMW all the time and connect to it right away upon detection.
8. if this change alone didnt work, you may also need to change bunch of other items on the phone...for example, at step 6, after you are done with device settings, go to options and make sure other options such as "contacts transfer", "connect on power up",hands free, etc are all set properly.
