No need to hack the V710.
Just go to Verizon Wireless and upgrade the V710 firmware to 1.40OR. However, all the newer V710 come with 1.40OR.
If you have a 2004 X5, you probably can retrofit the -993 BT/Assist module which works perfectly with the V710 with 1.40OR firmware.
If you have a 2005 X5 with Assist, then you probably already have the -993 BT/Assist module. You just need a V710 with 1.40OR.
I've retrofitted my '04 M3 with the -993 and the V710 works perfectly.

Ideally, I want a CDMA bluetooth phone which can transfer address book info into the X5. Looks like I have two choices :
1) go for the hard to find SE T608 (rangerfan had good experience); but not sure that the text messaging works on Verizon. I need text messaging.
2) Mot. 710 (and hack its software, yikes)
Not much of a selection 
I have a further Q for the bluetooth experts. Since the standard issue V710 does not transfer the phonebook; can you manually add phone #s to the X5 address book and then make use of the nav. screen dialing and voice dialing ?
Thanks for any input. |
