BT & Idrive

TMP · 03-04-2009, 10:20 AM

Couple of things 'doing my noodle in' when using my phone with Bluetooth/iDrive

1) How do I mute my mic when on a call using the iDrive? I am sure I can do it on the 5er, by just pressing the iDrive and to get a menu - Mute or Hangup?) Its just hangup in my 330?

2) When I am on a call in the car and park up, how do I seamesly transfer the call back to my handset? When I turn the ignition off, the call stays on the car (iDrive stays on) until I walk out of range - but of course I cant hear the call at that point

Cheers.

Not sure about the mute, but as far as the audio selection, you do it on the phone to take the call back to the handset. At least, thats what the iPhone does anyway.

I had the same problem with the getting out of the car - but now on my blackberry I just click on "sound through handset" or something, and it cancels the bluetooth seemlessly without affecting next time.

Haven't worked out how to mute a call though...

So if you tab down on the volume button, does it also quieten your voice and well as the recipients

Good questions and I'd quite like to know the answers too

Maybe, will give it a go when I get back tonight.

That's the problem with these sort of niggles, you have to make time to sort -the Mway on a conf call isnt ideal
