Pairing iPhone

So my iPhone was paired just fine and working great, however, the phone crapped out due to other reasons and I just got a replacement. The replacement iPhone is not pairing with the F10. When I try to connect, the iPhone can see the BMW but it keeps scanning and doesn't spit out a code that I can use to enter in the BMW. Then the phone and the car just time out.

Anyone experience this and can offer an tips?

Thanks

Try deleting the old phone and adding the new one. Are you in discoverable mode? Is the Bluetooth switched to " on"

Yep did that but no luck. Anyone know a way to reset the Bluetooth settings in the F10?

check the software version in your car and the iphone IOS version, maybe your issue is down to your replacement phone running on example ios5 version, and your car software version is way behind, a number of treads exist like this one http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthre...&highlight=ios, mind you if your car is a 2012 the gap should not be an issue.
