Bluetooth Connection

GpAevo · 01-14-2009, 07:44 AM

Does anyone know what new phones on the market will work with the bluetooth connection??? I printed the list off the BMW owners area and went with it too the phone shop for my upgrade.

None of the latest phones are on the bloody list

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

.

Any ideas anyone????? or what phones have you folk got that work

.
oh, and does a Nokia 6220 work??

Most contracts will allow you to return them within the 1st week
What phone did you want, once you know what you want, just ask others around here if they have any problems

GpAevo · 01-14-2009, 07:57 AM

More than likely a Nokia 6220

The only phones I have had problems with are Nokia N Series which pair for sound but don't transfer the phone book. I also had a samsung Omnia which when using the bluetooth made it sound like I was a dalek. Have now got a SE C905 and all works fine - although BMW could speed up a bit with getting snap in cradles sorted as the list is miles behind the current models!

FWIW My Blackberry 8100 works perfectly.

I mentioned the out of date BMW phone list a short while ago, and like you am looking for a new phone, the 6220 and the 5310 being on my short list.

So does mine. Just don't put contacts in groups. Otherwise you'll get a java exception error when pairing.

I had a Nokia 6230i that worked perfectly for eighteen months before BMW told me it wasn't compatible. Strangest thing about them telling me that was on their website the phone used in the photograph was the Nokia 6230i sitting in a snap-in adapter. Sure didn't sound incompatible to me. And the actual problem was the Bluetooth antenna connector was damaged.

My W810i works well and it isn't on the list of compatible phones

I have the nokia 6220, nice phone, and it works perfectly with the bluetooth.

Yes and an even better phone than the 6210. Works perfectly and the phones really nice as well... The 6210 is the one I am currently using.

You need to sweet talk them. I actually got an assitant to come half a mile to my car in a car park to connect a new phone 11 months ago.

At first the manager said its against policy, but i persuaded them

Anyone know if the I-phone connects with the Blueteeth?

I remember that day very well.

The iPhone 3G connects fine, syncs the addressbook & shows signal strength on the iDrive without any problem, as long as you have the latest 2.2 firmware.
