BMW 540iA 1997 Integrated Phone Trouble

[BishyBish]

Hey guys, I just joined the forums and I can see this is like one big community and everyone helps each other out when someone is in need. lol So I kinda have a problem with my car thats starting to become a painnnnn.

I have an integrated phone installed in my car and I don't have the six-digit security code. The owner never gave it to me when selling the car; but then again, I didn't know I had to ask.

My phone blinks on and off from time to time when I begin to drive and it says Locked. I've tried to go to the manual to see if I could reset it, but nothing works without the six-digit security code. This keeps me from even playing the radio or listen to a CD. After a while, it just turns off and doesn't come back on, but I need a way where I can just completely reset it without a six- digit security code.

If anyone knows how I can completely reset my phone system without any type of code (because I don't have any) that would be great. Thanks for reading my thread and I will greatly appreciate any kind of help.

One thing you could do is look for the manual for the phone. Usually, most people leave the security code alone in the default code that it came with, which I guess would be a 6-digit number: 123456 or 000000
Worth a try, good luck!

Wow, it actually worked. I've been trying to fix this for a long time and was about to go to the dealership to get it fixed (definitely not under $100) haha. Thank you soooo much and good luck with your car.
