Well I'm all for throwing in the towel.

I have just been and had my Nokia 8800's firmware updated to 3.78 ( showing dated 17/10/05) and am disappointed to say that the disconnection problem is still there with my 7th Gen ULF :-(

I've been out and bought a 6230i with firmware version 3.4 and this works perfectly and the really weird thing is that this phones software looks almost exactly the same as the Nokia 8800 !!!!!

Perhaps Jack is right and perhaps this phone will never work with our cars due to this Bluetooth 1.1 / 1.2 issue but I'm now at a loss of what to do.

I've spent £600 on retro fitting Bluetooth to my 01 540i Sport and now another £100 getting a compatible phone so I have to ask myself how much further I can go to get what I want :-(

Jesus, Why can't Nokia and BMW just sort this out !!!!!!
