Where do I start - pairing etc?

Okay I have a RAZR, and I have my MINI. I have NO idea how to get started. Can someone give me step by step direction on how to make it work? I dont even know what the first step is. And then is there something I have to do on my phone to make it work or do I only change things in my car. In case it matters, I dont have a MFSW.

Please help, Im sad. Ive had my car for 3-4 months and I haven't done it yet because I tried a couple of times but I dont know where to begin and I dont really get the manual. Please help!

Thanks.

There should be some good instructions with the manuals for your car. I got them and they stated how to do the mini part very easily. If yo can not find them let me know and i will the the manual out to night and post the directions off of it here on the forums.

Edit:
BTW the list from Mini on the website only shows the phones they tested and that is very few of the phones that actually work. There is a forum member here that has a spread sheet that lists the functionality fo the phones that members have reported about. Check it out here
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?k...HjCm-AfA&hl=en

There very well may be phones that also work that are not on the list as they have just not been reported on. It does list many of the Razr models and some of the limitations. So try it and report back to us to let us know how it worked for you.
