Another Bluetooth pairing question

My wife just replaced her older Blackberry with a new model 9900. Has anyone sucessfully paired this model with the MB Bluetooth system in a 2010 E Class? I tried last evening for several hours and could not get it to do it. On the Blackberry the Bluetooth was on and discoverable was on. I tried both search and listen modes. The model number showed up on the screen in the car but didn't seem to be authorized.
Any ideas for this??

Was there a PIN number called for either by the car or the phone during the pairing process? If so I think that four zeros is pretty much the standard one.There's another issue that *I* had (and only recently resolved) but I think it only applies to androids.

Yes I used 4 "1's as I always have in the car, however the Blackberry never asked for a Pin.

My 9900 paired easily. Go into the BT setting on the phone and turn "dicoverable" on to "2 minutes" then begin the pairing process from your car.

Make sure that you've deleted all old phones from the car first and any old cars from the phone.

Got it done!! I had missed the OK button after putting in the PIN in the car.

Thanks to the guys that made suggestions!
