2010 BMW 528i Bluetooth Passkey - BMW Forum

All;

I just purchased a 2010 BMW 528i and I have been trying to pair my phone with the bluetooth in the car. I have failed. Where can I get the bluetooth passkey for the car without having to go to the dealer? I tried looking in the trunk but I am unable to find it.

Thanks.

should be in your owners manual, along with the instructions on how to pair a phone. if you cannot locate, try all zeros. sometimes works in my experience.

It is not in the manual. I also tried 4 zeros on 2 different phones as well as 1234. Both passkey's were rejected by the "BMW".

you can get the number off of the ULF module in the trunk. it is located under the trim panel for the left side wheel arch, or you can go to the dealer and they will do this for you. most dealers will not charge you for this.

I tried looking there but could not find it. Is there a photo/screenshot of the location?

I haven't been able to find one. depending on how it sits in the vehicle it may have to be removed and turned around to see the label. In this case i would suggest taking it to the dealer. unless anyone else can help. as i said before it is very rare that they would charge you for this at any BMW dealer.
