Newbie here, great forum I've used for past issues. Thought I'd join rather than just read.

My issue...

I had my iphone paired with the car no problem, self explanatory to do and had no issue. Went to make a call this evening driving home and it didn't pair the call with the car. Thought it was odd so checked in the settings to make sure the phone was in there, it was, checked on phone and in the settings 'BMW' was in there, but it wasn't connecting. I thought it must be my phone and luckily a Land Rover pulled up at that moment and my phone picked that up, so I know its not a phone issue. 

I deleted the BMW from my phone in a hope I would just set it all up again but my phone just wont pick the car up anymore. I'm confused!!!!

Anyone have any ideas???

Cheers.

Hullo.
 
Yip that is what's known as an a BMW electrical gremlin.  Very very occasionally my phone wont pair with my car.  Get out the car.  Lock it and switch it back on and the phone re-connects.
