I have an F4MC, but I thought the menu settings were the same. On mine when I go into set up I don't get a choice of Intercom or Anycom when I go into pairing mode. As I scroll through the options I get options to do an "Anycom Search", followed by an "Intercom Device Search". The next option is "Pairing Mode", when I go into this mode it says "From phones Bluetooth menu, search for devices, and select Interphone", this mode is for connecting either a phone or a GPS device.
It sounds like your menu options may be different or you've not gone to the correct menu option.
One word of warning, since updating the software it seems I have lost the ability to hear sound from a BMW Nav V when playing music, I suspect the A2DP driver in the new software is not compatible with the Nav V, it appears to connect to the Nav V OK and I can start the music I just can't hear it! I can still hear camera warnings and Sat Nav instructions though (I don't think these use A2DP).

Hmmmmmm, I have now completed the Firmware Update from Interphone on my F5MC.
Went out filled with optimism and switched on the bike, scrolled to Settings - Connections - add Helmet (and I can see F5MC on the screen) and thats as far as i can get! it doesn't seem to matter which pairing option I go for it simply won't have it.
Next step....
Call the dealer (Cotswold Motorrad); "Is your helmet paired with your phone?"
Me: "Yes!"
Dealer: "Delete it and try again."
Me: "Oh! Ok. And if it still doesn't work, can I bring it in for a software update?"
Dealer: "Well you can but it'll cost you."
Me: "Really? Whys that? I thought that if there was a problem it should be free!!?
Dealer: "Er' no. BMW only guarantee the TFT with BMW kit."
Me: "Hmmmm, let me try and follow what you've suggested and if it doesn't work, we can argue about the cost etc after."
Next Step - Delete phone from interphone connection. Result - Won't Pair!
Nest Step - What about if I delete the phone from the TFT and then try to pair the helmet. Result - SUCCESS! F5MC paired.
Next Step - Try and re-pair phone to TFT - Result - SUCCESS!
Next Step - Check phone makes calls - YEP!
- Check Helmet plays music - Yep!
- TFT Nav voice prompts - Yep!
So far so good. Havent tried with my Nav V yet but TBH if it does - Bonus. If it don't I'm still a very happy chappy.
