CactusGreen Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 the bluetooth on current 3 series - coupe and saloon? The list BMW has is so old it's just about useless!!! What have people got fully running with there cars - phone book etc to the car not just basic headset profile answer.... BMW just say the list is the list....despite the fact that most on it are only partially working and that almost none of them are even avaialable....then I read with fear the posts here about them blaming a bluetooth connection for stuffing up the modules in the car and now refusing to replace any more of them..... So lets see a list of what people out there have actually got working and how well... I've got 2 people needing new phones - and they want to use the carkits they had paid for.... I'm just glad I liked my Siemens S65 so much....and had a a few spares put by....probably the best one on this approved list that works fully?? with Audi being no better....in my case!

davyk31 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Nokia 6300 works perfectly with phone book etc in both my 3 Series and X3. Can also now get a cradle for it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza_g Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 My E61 works well for basic calling but the phonebook doesn't go through. My HTC Touch Diamond does calling and phonebook over bluetooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can also now get a cradle for it I think. hmm, and yet that one is listed as only limited function....what's it not do then i wonder? You'd think getting a more recnt list out of BMW would be easy....what are they all using..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuits Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Problem you have is the firmware in the bluetooth interfaces in the car change over the years, so different model years have different compatibility. Only with some serious persistance will a dealer update the firmware to the latest version, which normaly fixes incompatibilities. In the E92, my iPhone works fully with all contacts sync and phone reception display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 On my 57'plate E90 I have a Nokia 3110c and a Blackberry 8820, and can access phone book via bluetooth on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, so is there a way to find out what firmware is in the car? Still the list they put out has about 5 phones that are still available to buy...most are more like 4-5 years old now :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
