iPhone and X5 Bluetooth . . .

Everyone-

I've tried searching, but noticed that there are no posts on Apple's iPhone and the bluetooth kit in the X5. I was curious if anyone has had any experience with it.

I'll share my limited experience. I have a 2006 X5 with the factory-installed bluetooth kit without nav. The iPhone pairing went easy, with no issues. Initial calls out from the BMW headunit, out from the iPhone, and into the iPhone went well with no problems. Addressbook from the iPhone transferred completely and was accessible from the headunit. After all that, I figured it was working great and should have no problems.

Well, advance about a day later. When entering the vehicle, the iPhone and X5 are having trouble finding each other and establishing their connection. I've had a few different issues. One time, the X5 continually stated "Downloading Phonebook!" and never left that screen. However, the most common problem seems to be that when a call is initiated from the iPhone, the X5 head unit shows the call, the person being called can hear what's going on inside the X5, but the person in the X5 cannot hear anything.

I was hoping that since the iPhone was stated to work flawlessly with the new X5 and 3 series that it would work with my X5. As a side note, it does work flawlessly with my E90 325xi.

Any other experience out there or possible fixes?

Thanks a lot.

Alright, I'm an idiot. Thanks for the help. I'll repost on one of those threads.

I have the same problem. I have Nav also, seems you have to force the initial connection then the next time you get in it doesn't work.

Took car to dealer yesterday to have them look at inability to consistently use the phone. They "confirmed" the iPhone is on there acceptable phone list (I haven't seen this list). The dealer was unable to get it working any better than I did. They spent 4 hours on it.
