I cannot understand why is it taking so long for BMW to fix these bluetooth issues that we and many other have. And the snap in adaptors are limited to older phones like the T39M. What an antique that one is. I'm using the T39M I found in my draw. Battery is shot and I'm not about to buy a new battery for it. It just works and I cannot see my phone book in the NAV display.
I would rather one of the newer phones with a snap in adaptor if we can never get the 8800 going. I'm lost at the moment and probably frustrated with the incompatability the 8800 has with my BMW.
Over to you guys for your comments.

Jack I suppose it's like anything a dealer tells you, you always have to take it with a grain of salt. I think as technology increases things will improve. As indicated I think the issue is BMW built such a restrictive system to start with, hoping they could benefit finacially out of it worldwide. I suppose to the same sort of agreement with ipod?
Anyway I would suggest from an Aussie perspective write a letter to BMW highlighting how far behind there system is with other manufacturers, and if they get enough complaints they may push some action further. I think that all it will really require is a major software upgrade. With the new X5 on the way, whether they decide to rectify existing bluetooth systems or just have a better product for the new model onwards will be the question.
