im new as well but i have the same rig. are you sure you have the blue tooth option i know mine is wired for it but i still need to purchase more parts to make it work. that's the best i can do lol unless you haven't check your phone to make sure the blue tooth is on.

Not sure why you are having problems in other markets. The 1998 model X3 sold in Australia pairs beautifully with iPhone 4.

That should have read 2008 model X3 - time flies !

I had the same problem with pairing an iphone 4 with an '06 X3.
I ended up taking it to the dealer--the instructions on the web are incorrect.
Here's the deal:
--start the X3
--push the R/T button (not the voice activation button!)
--the radio should indicate that the system is "Searching"
--make sure that the BT mode on the phone is active
--enter the passkey # for your vehicle's (it's located on the unit, remove the drivers side rear panel at the liftgate to see the ####.
--the pone should then be paired.

good luck
