Thanks for the update bigx5er. All seems to indicate that I'll have to take it in and wait, wait, wait...

same thing has just happened to me cant pair any of my phones anymore treo or v3i and sos and assist does not work ion my 06 should i make a service appointment or is there something else i can do?

nahh, you have to take it in. In my case they replaced the box and it all worked fine afterwards. These things seem to be a bit fragile.

that really blows............lol...but thank you!

Bad news. Had mine in for A WEEK and they reprogrammed the TCM and messed around. It worked when I left and broke again two weeks later. Now they want it back for another multiple day visit. BMW is lousy at dealing with this problem.

great here we go they better have a nice loaner for me!!!
