Android and Bluetooth problem
 
I have an X5/2005 with NAV and BT . I didn't had any problem with pairing BT and my old phone. I bought an Android 2,2 phone with BT 2,1 protocol and I can't connect with the car. The screen says bluetooth pairing but nothing else after this.Any suggestion?
Thanks

Well like any adroid phone each is a little different, and the Modaco forum is the palce to go.

But in general the step are
1) "Root" the phone. This can be as easy as downloading a rooting app from the market, or more involved. It is an unlocking step to allow you to do the following:
2) Install a revised bootloader. This ~5MB program allows you to change the main system image. Kinda like MS Dos was for PCs, if you remember that.
3) Install Android. This ~90MB file is the main program. It will be specific to your handset.

I read all these (the Modaco forum) and I am very cunfused
If I do this (1) I will lost the warranty
2) Which bootloader (~5MB )?
3) Which android (~90MB ) ?
My phone is Hauwei Ideos X1 (or 8180) with android Froyo 2.2
Thanks

1) Yes probably voids the warranty, although it is possible to go back
2) Usually Clockworkmod
3) Usually Cyogenmod7 or Cyogenmod9

I had a similar situation, but in my case I could pair the Android phone and receive calls, but when I tried to place a call by voice dialing from the car, the phone would call the number but the audio remained on the phone, and the car thought the phone was idle.

I replaced the car's Bluetooth ULF (gen 5) with the latest (gen 13) one and everything is working well now. I suggest checking your ULF part number against this list to see how out-of-date it is. BTW, don't believe that list about newer parts not being available from BMW dealers - I got the latest 84-10-9-154-358 ULF from my dealer for $375 (Bimmernav wants $599).

The problem solved
1) I erased all phones from ULF.
2 ) Set the ULF to pairing
3) Switch on the phone's bluetooth and all are OK. I can see and the phonebook.
Thanks
