Very interesting!!!
I think you are the only one in this forum to get P900 series to work with your UFL. Is their anyway you can pull out your UFL out to see the model number? Sorry for asking, sure would like to know.

My P910i will not work with my UFL.

Thanks!!!


ps I just bought a P990i from e-bay; should be here by Thursday.

I managed to pair the p990 with the X5 tonight I did not get any phone book transfer or text messages, but did make a couple of calls and that all worked ok. When you get a incoming call did display caller number on the Nav screen.

p990 and bluetooth work in my 540i
 

my p990 works with my car the phone book transfer but so far not the sms. at first it wouldnt work but i had to edit the name of the bluetooth profile to p990 once i did that the phone book transfered. hope this helps. my ulf is i think 6th gen 384 i think

update p990 phonebook transfer
 

ok been driving around for a week or so with my p990 and it works great with the bluetooth in everyway except these two. phonebook transfer around 6 out of ten times dont know why it fails the other times maybe a certain program etc is running when i get in my car that prevents that. the sms messages so far have never tranfer and it still is retaining the ones from my old w800 that i have.

the phone is a great phone. i hope the can solve the software issues so it runs better and i hope i can get 3g to work here in the usa as i here the freq might be a little off for the t mobile network.

unfortunately, that's not going to work. the p990 is set to work with 3G on a completely different frequency than is available in the US (2100 in Europe, vs. 1900 in the US). believe me, i wish i could somehow "tune" my p990 to work in the 3G frequency here in the states, but i lack an electrical engineering degree, the know-how to re-configure the circuitry in the phone, and the coding skills to adjust the software to use the 3G signal on a different frequency... so, to avoid the need to go back to school, i just ordered a treo 680 and i'll just take EDGE for the moment. :thumbup:

actually, it's not even the data speeds that are bothering me the most with my p990 - it won't hold a connection to my X3's bluetooth (though my X3's bluetooth works with other phones i have). from a few other forums, i've gathered that it's not compatible with all bmw bluetooth modules - consider yourself lucky that it works with yours! i have to use a bluetooth headset in my X3. i didn't think that would bother me at first, but i really miss the handsfree calling in my X3 without messing with a headset. i've got my fingers crossed that the treo will work! and then my p990 will most likely take a trip courtesy of ebay.

could not pair my p990 with x5 ...car is 5 months old..i've tried 3 p990's still no good???? please can any one HELP!!!!

Have you managed to pair any phones with your car ?

Which UFL do you have in your BMW. My SE P990 works great with my UFL 6th generation. Well expect no phone book or SMS's. But it pairs up 100% each time I enter my X5.

thanx for threads..p910i works fine... what is UFL ?? please. p900 did not work??...

The 900 and 910 are not ment to work however the P990 does
