Telephone Bluetooth option Greyed out 'Please wait' screen E92 2011 CIC Idrive LCI

Hi All,

Just purchased an LCI 2011 325d with high spec (or i thought) not yet called BMW or done Vin deoder to see if the telephone bluetooth option is enabled, i'd think it is as it actually shows up in Idrive, but....
I try connecting my Google Phone to the Bluetooth to make calls, but all i get when selecting telephone in Idrive is a 'please wait' message and nothing moves on from there, when in the 'please wait' screen i press OPTION and on that screen the bluetooth box and writing is greyed out so not allowing the selection to turn it on.

The car has a phone cradle in the arm rest, Aux works, radio and Satnav all work, but the telephone screen states please wait, is there a hard reset that can be done of the Idrive or does anyone know a solution to the issue ?

I've looked on this and other forums and people have the issue but there is no real answer on the fix that i can see, wonder if anyone can help me out?

I am aware there are other threads, i just cant seem to find a definitive answer on the telephone screen saying please wait issue.

I did state that in my post... 3 hours of browsing led me to posting the question.

I had a similar issue when I did a combox retrofit.

It was solved by resetting the module using NCS expert.

BMW UK have advised me to download a software update and update in the car via USB so i'm going to try that, failing that im assuming NCS expert is a coding device and i'll have to look down the route of purchasing and learning the coding options.

More forum trawling for coding from here...

You can only update the software via USB if you have a USB port in the armrest, AFAIK
