, and of course you can't try the dam things before you sign the contract:

Do what I did, find an out-of-town Carphone Warehouse or similar with a car park right outside then grab a salesperson with the sample phones and take them to the car and try it.

I now do it every time I change the phone as even firmware upgrades on the same phone can effect the operation.

Then buy the phone from elsewhere if you like of course.

Hiya,

If you go to your bluetooth settings, there will be a list of paired devices. Find the car kit in the list, under options there will the option of set as authorised.

It will then connect without the confirmation

What phones connect to your bluetooth????

Anyone managed to get a 3g iphone to work??

Still trying to find an upgrade phone that will work in the dam car

threethirty · 01-28-2009, 04:20 AM

My Nokia 6234 connects fine, although it's not a very modern phone.

coodem · 01-28-2009, 07:31 AM

My 8Gb 3G iphone works without any problem

Dawsey · 01-28-2009, 08:03 AM

My LG Viewty won't connect but my Crackberry does.

swanseahammer · 01-28-2009, 08:22 AM

Make sure your Bluetooth software is up to date otherwise 3G iPhone doesn't connect properly / keep connection.

rogerxp · 01-28-2009, 08:38 AM

My N95 is very hit and miss. Have had to download software for the Nokia Hands Free Kit (so my phone thinks it's a hands free kit) but works 50% of the time.

My business partners 3g iphone seems to work a treat; I have no idea which version of software he has though.

I'm using a blackberry curve. It works fine. Address book synchronisation took a while first time, but it connects very quickly now.

brett23 · 01-28-2009, 09:17 AM

Just got my e51 to work with the latest firmware update. Cant say about other nokia`s but the latest firmware is a must fella

You still thinking of a remap Simon. I see evolve are coming over to dublin soon. I am thinking of heading down.

<-----

16gig iPhone 3g fully connected to 2006 non i-Drive (Professional / hi fi ) first time and without any problems, full phone book sync etc.

Whats the prob bro?

biscuits · 01-28-2009, 09:23 AM

The iPhone software (pre-v2.0) didn't work in my wife's 130i (Nov05), I was going to get the car updated, but the stealers wanted an hours labour and couldn't guaranty it would fix it. However Apple have obviously changed the bluetooth firmware in the iPhone recently because now I can connect, call, receive and get phonebook as I can in the M3 without any problems.

When the 130 goes in for a service I'll get them to do a full update of all xCAN modules while they're there, for future bluetooth changes.

MEGA · 01-28-2009, 09:37 AM

Make sure you have firmware 2.2.0

I seem to hear it being positive re: this..

Budgie · 01-28-2009, 11:46 AM

Never had a problem.3G from the start...Roger N95 is just such a good phone but for a BMW owner its the most frustrating.

EuRoTUneR · 01-28-2009, 11:50 AM

blackberry curve works great

Yes mate. When are they over?? Do you know how much they charge in comparison to DMS etc

. If the price was right i'd head down for sure

trixman · 01-28-2009, 06:35 PM

3G Iphone and Blackberry all have worked fine in all iterations of bimmers I've had. As has been stated, they prefer the 2.0 version... (though there's a new update out, 2.2 I think... which stops winterboard working... booooo)

tisme · 01-30-2009, 06:37 PM

Yes, 3G iPhone works very well indeed. Only thing that does not work is text messaging. You cannot send or see received texts (could on the e46 with a Nokia 6230i).

GpAevo · 02-01-2009, 02:12 PM

Just got a Samsung M8800 which works brilliant, and of course it is not on BMW's old or new list

. Idiots

SoYank · 02-01-2009, 02:47 PM

I have a Nokia 6230i with cradle you can have for £15. It's fully compatible on the 2006 UK/Euro vehicles but BMW says it doesn't on a US spec but only after 18 months.
