You also need to have the car search for the phone and enter the "passkey" number -- which should be in your owner's manual. FYI: The 8300 isn't on BMW's "approved" list. In my '04 530i it pairs and works, but the phone book didn't download automatically. After a whole lot of time messing around with different options, I was able to send individual phonebook entries as "vcard" to the car and they are now displayed.

Thanks, Once I figured out how to get the car in discovery mode, it worked. It even imported the phonebook.
