Bluetooth Manual for 2005 325i

I've just discovered that my Motorola v551 Bluetooth enabled phone
works with my 2005 325i. BMW has done a really poor job letting new
customers (like me) know that Bluetooth is built in and available for
use. I've only been using it for a short time, and I've not had any
problems.

A couple of questions:

1) Is there any way to have the car recognize voice commands in
addition to having my phone book scroll on my radio display?

2) Does anybody know where I can get a User Manual? It didn't come
with my car's documentation. The only thing I received was the Pass
Key.

Feel free to post here or e-mail me directly. Thanks in advance.

Hi!
I have an '05 325i, but I have not got my sony-erricson t637 to 'find'
my car. I have assist and a bluetooth pass key.

Is there any kind of 'paring' procedure you had to do? Certain buttons
or anything? Or did your phone just find your car? Did anything
regarding bluetooth paring appear on your NAV or cd player?

thanks for your help!!

if the bluetooth modules are actually installed in your car then a bluetooth
manual should also be in with your car
manual kit. if your car is only "pre-wired" then you do not have bluetooth,
just the ability to add it.

I called BMW Corporate, and the said that the Manuals are "on the way"
to the Dealerships. I do have the PassKey, and the Bluetooth works
really well with my Motorola v551 phone. I am just wondering why the
Voice Activation doesn't work. I'm still also trying to get my hands
on a Manual as soon as theu are available. I'm suprised that BMW
doesn't post it (in a .pdf file) on their website.

you must be in the US

in Canada the manuals are currently being supplied with the vehicle

i would suggest you get the dealer who sold you the car to get the info for
you
it is available and his responsibility

Then my question is this: Why would the car have a 4 digit bluetooth
Pass Key printed on a bluetooth card, if the car had no bluetooth
capability? The Pass Key is associated with a device, not the ability to
add a device.

Doesn't that make sense?
