if it is a 9000 phone cradle module, the pairing code (BTKEY) is on the backside of the module itself. remove the module from the cradle & write it down. replace the module. to reset the module, hold down the blue light for at least 30 seconds until it starts flashing rapidly. you might have to either power down the vehicle or remove the module for a minute or 2 for it to clear. after that, hold down blue light for 3 seconds to activate BT discovery. you can then pair to your phone as normal. it should go this way, in a perfect world...

What year is your car?

Anyways, in the back ot the BTUM you'll find the passcode to connect to your cell phone. Plug in the BTUM in the center console and hold the bottom for a few seconds until blue light start blinking, search for bluetooth devices in your cell phone and link to the BTUM using the password.

Use this link if you have a '02:

Try to search for "btum" or "bluetooth" if you need more help.

I'm assuming that since you say you've been able to pair the BTUM with your phone that you've typed in the correct code. If so, and you're still getting this message, you might try deleting the BTUM's settings from your cellphone (e.g., in my iPhone there's an option for "forget this device") and then repeating the procedure again, making sure to follow all of the steps.

I've attached the BTUM manual, in case you don't have it.

Good luck!
