iPhone 4 integration- anyone else had issues?

[TowX]

Just did a quick search but it looks like I may be the only one with a problem.

My old Blackberry and Moto Razr worked just fine with the Bluetooth in my '04. Everything worked like a charm. But since I got my iPhone4 back in early July, I've struggled to make most of the Bluetooth features work.

When a call comes in, the number or name of caller does not display on either the instrument display or on the nav screen

Voice tags do not work at all, I have to physically scroll to the number I want to call on my nav screen then select it to make a call. Sure, I can say the name into the iPhone, let it dial and connect to the bluetooth, but that completely defeats the purpose of hands free.

When I pull up a name on the nav screen, the first 4 characters of the name and number are gibberish, every time.

So am I doing something wrong or is this just another one of Apple's glitches?

your not alone.....i dont get caller display when i get an incoming call either. As for the voice tags you need to do things a liitle differently....see the reply i got from another member below.....by the way, do you have voice activation?

You have to STORE voice-dialled contacts in the BMW phonebook before you can use them. This phonebook is stored in the Bluetooth ULF, it's not the same as the phone's phonebook. Say 'help' after the VR beep, and it will read you a list of commands because I can't remember the syntax/command used to store VR contacts - you may just have to say "store number" ... it then responds with "please speak the number" followed by "please speak the name" and then "stored". You can then say "dial name" etc.....

I do. I can tell the system to dial a number. Just missing the caller display, and I don't like the gipperish on the display. For example:
instead of the display reading " Ed Home" as it should
it displays "[#Ed#Hom" and most of the rest of my iPhone contacts are displayed the same way.

I may have figured out the problem though, still trying to confirm. Because the iP4 lets you store multiple numbers and email addresses for a contact, I don't think the BMW BT knows how to pull them up. On occasion I'll get a number pop up on my display, but it's a number that's not in my iP4 contacts. And some of the contacts are displayed without the gipperish, but those are contacts with just a single name and phone number. So I think the BT is confused by the iP4 contact software which allows multiple numbers for a single name.

Go into Settings on your iphone4 and remove all the bluetooth connections already paired. Go into settings and allow bluetooth and then restart the X5 and it should pair. This worked on my 6/05 production 4.4.
