Well, I did switch to a Nextel i870, and so far I am pleased. It paired with the BT non-nav system in my car (2005 X5) and works very well. I even hear my Direct Connect calls via the stereo, but of course have to push the PTT button on the phone to talk.

Sounds like your aftermarket BT actually works better than my OEM, in some ways. My phonebook will not transfer, even though I have less than 10 names in it so far. I am OK with that, but I am sure I will miss that little convenience I had become used to (with my prior Moto V710). The Voice Recog dialing works fine, so I will just have to max that out.
