ive printed out about a half dozen guides for the iphone connection routine, with WLAN off, with WLAN on, so im at wits end at the moment.
thoughts?

My 1st gen iPhone works perfectly in my 05 X5. Except once. It turned out that iTunes was playing in the backround. It was after I had turned iTunes off using just the top button, not with that silly two-button technique.
I discovered this because the phone was mysteriously hot. After turning it off and restarting it, all worked well.
If iTunes is playing normally, through its own speaker or through an Aux connection, the phone works fine. It must be when it is in limbo that it screws up.
Perhaps your phone was in iTunes, not all the way off, but was when you tried it in another car.
I asked questions about all this on iPhone forums and got no good answers. So, the limbo mode is the only answer I have. I should test my theory and turn a guess into science. Maybe later...
I have heard that in some cars you have to do the BT connection thing more than once for it to "take".
Hope this makes sense and helps.
