Thanks for your reply. When I first got this car the iPhone 5 paired up without my doing anything and it worked perfectly. All of a sudden it stopped working, after a visit to the dealer, and I can't get it back working. I've tried to pair it up but it won't work. It is registered as the phone I have in the settings. Any suggestions would help. Thanks, Retperio

Thanks for your suggestion. I did go back and clicked on Forget This Device in Settings>Bluetooth>Forget This Device and then it seemed to go ahead and reconnect but I don't know if it will connect the next time I get into the car. I hope so. When I first got the car it hooked up and I didn't do anything but get into the car with the phone turned on. I'm not ready to deal with transferring the contacts into the car until I get this working. Thanks, Retperio

Thanks for the help. After I pushed Forget this Device and reentered my phone it asked for the passkey, which I put in and it is now working again.

I just picked up an 04 430 with nav today and paired my iPhone to it. I was surprised at how many phones were already paired by the former owner(s). FWIW, my older/newer IS250C (older car that I no longer have, but newer model) would every now and then my iPhone and ISC would just mysteriously disconnect and deleting the device and repairing is the only thing that would work

Thanks for the info. I did the same as you did and it worked. So far it's' working well. I'll remember what I did the next time it disconnects. Retperio

Does anyone know if there's a way to turn off the on screen alerts that say Bluetooth was either paired successfully or it hadnt? I wish mine wouldn't let me know every time.

I don't know the answer to your question. It may be in the hidden screen I see other members talking about. Personally I like to see if my phone paired successfully because there's no other way to know unless you don't receive any calls thru' the car's speakers. I recently had it say the connection was unsuccessful. So I had to figure that out and that was difficult but I got it to working again by clicking on Forget This Device and starting over again with pairing. Retperio
