I could be wrong but I thought that the BT owners manual that came with my BimmerNav system said that you can't? use the steering wheel voice button that you had to use the armrest button for pairing. Maybe a call to BimmerNav
That process is not correct. that is for the assist module, which is not for the E39. You need to use the process shown in this video. As others have said, the steering wheel is not able to be used as the pairing button. The arm rest piece is required to pair the phone. It is also required to be connected on the E39 M5 built prior to 03/02. In an 03/02 or later M5 you can remove or not install as desired
$650 plus shipping - which is around $100 or more off Bimmernav's price - I have the upgraded mic with the kit as well.How much are you asking?

Could you please clarify if you need the console button to pair a phone if your car is built 03/02 or later? You seem to indicate you do for all at the beginning but you don't need to have it "connected" for the 03/02 or later. Does this mean you can install it to only pair a phone, then disconnect it and only use the steering wheel button until you need to pair another phone? I'm asking this because I have an 03/03 and I accidentally press on the console button quite often when I rest my arm which causes the system to wait for a voice command. I would love to eliminate that...That process is not correct. that is for the assist module, which is not for the E39. You need to use the process shown in this video.
