Sorry if this has been asked already--didn't find it on any of these pages on this thread but I have the 1500 installed, had my BMW mechanic do it and the bluetooth for calling does work. It wanted to go through my android phone using Vlingo in car. My questions are this:
1) do I have to use a third party app like Vlingo for bluetooth to work?
2) When the radio is on and someone calls me, the bluetooth does not work--it didn't stop the radio and annouce the phone call. In other words, my phone rang but it didn't work through the bluetooth paired with the radio.

I have a 2001 330 convertible with the navigation. Any help would be most appreciated. I don't know if my mechanic did a software upgrade on the Dice. He mounted the module underneath my dash board underneath the steering wheel--close to the floor pedals but you can't see it. So I don't know how to access it to do the software upgrade. Is there a better place to mount it? The cables are routed through my ash tray.
Thanks.
