same thing happens in reverse when leaving the vehicle...

it's actually a nice feature....especially if i don't have to hit any buttons to make the transition...

not sure about call waiting...haven't received a second call to notice whether it supports it or doesn't...

but if you guys say it doesnt support it... well can't do much about that..

i'll test it this weekend too!
I had it with few other BT, you get in the car, BT turns on, and just takes over the call without putting anything in silence.
I hate to tell people to hang on before I start the car, What if you are in a heated conversation that you dont want to pause. X5 just takes the call into bluetooth and holds it, you ether have to transfer it back to handset or wait it out... I find it P.I.A.
I am now designating a separate phone for the X so that I can use my regular phone as is and if I need to keep it on speaker, I move it up in pairing order once I am on the road. I use the other phone for most calls in the car.
BTW Armani phone fully integrates with X5 as well, just tested it today. (not on compatible list)
