Just the the new Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.02 and 3.0 Bluetooth- it paired the quickest of any phone I have tried, using 0000 as suggested with other Samsung Galaxy phones. I have a 2008 Mini Clubman S.

 

I have not yet been able to download the address book, will try to re-pair and see if that works. No option on the phone to download it as far as I can tell.

 

Paired the Galaxy Nexus again, and noticed this time that the phone asked permission to download the address book, I selected yes and don't ask again,and immediately the address book downloaded. It seems to me that Bluetooth 3 is so much faster than any other phone I have paired.

 

No problems pairing a Motorola Droid RAZR. Bluetooth seems to work quite well with the MINI.

 

Couldn't pair my Galaxy Nexus with a 2012 Roadster yesterday. Rebooted the phone this morning, tried again and it worked perfectly. I used 0000 as the passcode on the car. It also asked to download the phone book and that worked first time too. It did seem very quick as mrdunn says.

 

 

Sorry to hear of your frustration.

Yes the MINI provided list is very poor on accuracy.

Check this list it is much more compete and accurate. These are realy world tested not shop tested as MINI does with a limited number of phones.

DO NOT get an LG phone they are notorius for NOT working with the MINI.

By my look up at Verizon Wireless you have a number of phones that should work. Of course none have been tested by MINI USA but from past experience there should be no problem with the m working with the MINI bluetooth.

Motorola Barrage - every motorola phone i have ever had has worked with both my BMW and MINI.

Samsung Intensity / Gusto / Brightside / Convoy - Most Samsung phones work well with the MINI bluetooth.

Pantech Hotshot / Jest 2 / - Most Pantech phones work very well with MINI's

Ther reason I say DO NOT get an LG phone is that LG has thier own proprietary bluetooth software that does not meet the bluetooth standards and thus does not work well with many auto manufacturers OEM systems.

 

I have a Samsung Stride SCH-R330 - paired and phonebook synced just fine!

 

Good to know... I'll be connecting a Razr Maxx in a couple weeks and test it... should work since it's the exact same ROM.

 

Also have SGH-I896 on Rogers running 2.3.3. Gingerbread. Fone discover mini but passkeys: 0000 or 1234 fail to pair. Any ideas or tips is appreciated!

 

Simple phone that paired up nicely with my 2011 Countryman.

 

Pairs with Motorola Droid X2 and syncs to address book. Works well.

thanks to whomever maintains this list!

 

anybody else having issues pairing an iPhone 5? Mine doesn't want to connect. I can see MINI BT on my iPhone, but my iPhone won't display the pairing code I need to input on the screen in my MINI.

 

I have since upgraded my that same phone to 2.3.3 and it still works fine. Have you gone through the pairing steps in the Bluetooth and Multimedia manual included with your MINI?

 

it works fine I needed to input code on the MINI connected first then input same code on the phone.. not the other way around

 

Is there a way to play music from iPhone wirelessly? I'm able to do it through my Sony car stereo. It won't play navigation voice through stereo either :(

Will then lightning cable ever be compatible with the mini stereo to play music?

Have you found a good dock for your phone in the mini?

 

cant seem to get my EVO 4G LTE to connect. any way to make it?

 

Did you try using the 0000 as the password?

I just paired Samsung Galaxy S2 running Jellybean 4.1.2 (rooted)with my 2013 MCS.

I don't have Nav or Mini Connected. So far making / receiving calls works well.

Streaming music via Bluetooth does not work. Appears that you need to have MiniConnected to do it. I can play music via USB by setting up my phone as MASS STORAGE.

 

Paired nokia 6790 with my 2008 justa cooper clubman. I read on here (post 902 I think) that the 6790 would not pair but I tried it anyway and it worked. I can make and recieve calls. Haven't tried anything else yet.

 

My wife paired our i5 phones in a matter of minutes - work great!

 

CA94960 do you have the ability to see/receive text messages as well? I have a 2011 MCH with the connect/no nav and am on the fence about buying the iPhone 5 versus the 4 or 4s.

 

I'm not sure; my wife drives the car all the time. we have a '08 with blue tooth and no navigation, but the i5 connected very fast. I will ask my wife about text messages when she gets home.

 

Thanks that'd be great! I have been going nuts trying to make a decision. I have a 15 year old who can be sitting in the car with me and will still text me rather than speak... LOL the texting info will be the dealbreaker.

 

I'm not advocating child abuse, but if my son kept texting and he was within an arms distance in my car he wouldn't be doing that for long.

 

LOL CA94960. It's ok, I return the favor by texting her when she asks me for money and telling her I'm IM'ing it to her :D
