Anyone having Bluetooth problems?
 

Hi everyone!

I have a 2005 X5 with the newer BT module (voice activated). The module was replaced by the dealer as the original module (non-voice) that came with the car went south.

I use a Sony-Ericsson T673 and my phone constantly gets stuck! Here are a few examples of what will happen:

- I dial a number via voice-command. Call goes through OK. I hang-up, try do dial another number and "nada." The phone is stuck and I have to hit the dial button 5, 6, 8 times before the phone will "catch on" and dial.

- I am driving and want to look up something on the phone. The phone is slow down to a crall. I press a key and the phone will take 20 or 30 seconds to respond to each key stroke.

- A call comes in, I hit the answer button on the steering wheel and nothing, the phone keeps ringing and ringing until I hit it three and four times. Then it answers. Same thing happens if I try to answer through the button on the dash.

Originally, I thought this was a problem with the car phone, but it has persisted after the BT module was replaced. I have also done several hard resets on the phone and nothing... The problems happen about 70% of the time. Nonetheless, there are times where the system works like a charm.

I am curious to know if anyone has had any issues like these either with their BT module or the Sony Ericsson T673.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Jose, :welcome: to X5world

One suggestion would be to try using a different phone to see if the problem is specific to the phone or the vehicle BT module.

Hi UCrew, thanks for the quick reply! I have thought of using another phone, but it would entail buying a new phone just for testing...

I hope someone else might be able to shed some light. Again, thanks for your reply! :)

I am having the same problem and I use a motorola RAZR. Seems to happen more when my radio is off than when its on. I have a 2005 with voice control also. I hope someone could shed some light on the problem.

Bennych, thanks for your post! I was planning on replacing my phone with the Razr. I guess that's out now... :rolleyes:

josejb70, I have a SonyEricsson T637 as well, and have experienced the slowness with the phone on occassions. I have not had any problems with receiving and dailing using the T637, but have noticed the slowness when pressing the talk bultton on the steering wheel and nav unit.

What I have learned is that pressing the talk button on the steering wheel or nav unit normally takes a second or two for it to work. Just have patience and the call will go through.

so, there are bt systems with voice control and bt systems without?! is that so?

how can i find out whether i have voice control? the car is 04-05, uk specs

Hold down the button on the steering wheel that looks like an icon of a speaking face for a few seconds. If you hear a "beep" then say the word "help". If it comes back with a verbal listing of available commands then you have the voice recognition functions.
