bluetooth help needed w/ passkey

kimandsmith · 03-22-2006, 01:57 AM

I've just purchased a 325I / 2005 used. I'm trying to connect my Treo 650 with the bluetooth already installed in the car. The Treo discovers the device form the vehicle, it's just that I don't know the password. The manual says that I should have it in the manual but is no where to be foud. I tried the last 4 and 5 digits of the VIN, but still did not work.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you, Kim

try "0000"

kimandsmith · 03-22-2006, 02:15 AM

I did and it's not working. the 0000 did work for my ear device from Motorola. Any idea what code can I use?
Thanks,
Kim

huh..try "1212" usually thats what i use for Lexus cars.. but yours should be 0000 unless the prevous owner changed it but i doubt it...

GoRomeo · 03-22-2006, 02:28 AM

also try to get the latest software patch for your Treo. go to Palmone.com under support try that too..

kimandsmith · 03-22-2006, 02:38 AM

I tried the 1212 and still did not work. It may be because I have already my Treo paired up with my ear bluetooth (Motorola) and already exhausted the 0000 passcode?
I did not buy any software from the dealer...it's just that when I got in the car with my Treo it did discover the bluetooth, just can't connect because this passkey.....
Thanks,
Kim

the 0000 passcode shouldnt be exhausted. i used it for the headset and for the car. i dont know what to suggest. maybe call up your CA?...

Pretender · 03-22-2006, 03:18 AM

As far as I've known, you can enter any 4 digits. Make sure you also enter the same number on the car keypad. 1 2 3 4 are good digits too.

hunt55 · 03-22-2006, 07:37 AM

Check with a BMW dealer. On the new E90 the passkey is any 4 digits. However, when I was having BT issues before BMW issues a software fix, I saw on a thread that in the past each car required a unique passkey and if you lose it, you can find it on the BT box in the car.

kimandsmith · 03-22-2006, 11:32 AM

What do you mean by the car "keypad"? I don't know exactely what I need to do on the car side....the bluetooth came installed. I didn;t have to do anything, so I don't know how to proceed to this "keypad". Please advise. THanks, Kim

puck724 · 03-22-2006, 11:26 PM

so ya fix it?

GoRomeo · 03-23-2006, 12:55 AM

no fix yet..i am the guy who checked it out.. i have a cell phone store. Seems like BMW has to do an BT update on Kim's Car cuz i tried to pair my razr and still did not accept the passkey of 0000 which i know it works flawlesly on my car. She took it to the dealer to have it checked she said. I hope the dealer can help her...

PS Kim keep us posted... thanks

puck724 · 03-23-2006, 01:20 AM

gotcha.

zyxplitz · 03-23-2006, 01:44 PM

As far as I know, the default password is 1234

Username18 · 03-26-2006, 03:09 PM

I think this may be your problem....to pair phones it will ask for a passcode (either on your phone or car) when it does enter any number you please (i usually use a 4 digit number; ex 1234) next enter that same number on either the phone or the car. i never had a special car passcode to start, the passcode you make up just has to be entered on both your car and phone. hope this helps.
