Blackberry Tour Smartphone Kit Integration??

[vpaul2]

I just got my new 2010 X5 35D, I ordered the car with the smartphone integration but it seems like there isn't a kit for the Blackberry Tour yet, anyone know of when or if there is one coming out for the Blackberry Tour??? I have the bluetooth working but want to be able to put it in the cradle to use the antenna as well as charge the device.

Anyone?

These are the most current supported phones by the BMW system. Isn't the Tour similar to the 8900?
Hope this helps.

I just got the Tour 3 weeks ago and it paired flawlessly for 2 weeks then I had to do a battery reset of the phone after the iDrive kept thinking I had an active call when I didn't. I know this doesn't answer you question, but maybe you don't need the kit as long as the Bluetooth is working properly?

You do not need to have the smart-phone cradle to utilize the system. Any blue-tooth capable cell phone will work just fine.

BMW only supports certain phones for the cradle in the smart-phone option. I personally have not sprung for the $124 cradle for my BB 8900. I have zero issues with it's operation in the car. The only thing the cradle does is charge your cell while you drive and connect you to the the cars antenna for maximum reception.

I have bluetooth working fine, but I am in my car for sometime 2 hours a day so I need to be able to charge and use the antenna with the cradle, just wondering if anyone has a TOUR working with a cradle or not.

the tour is a relatively new phone, although given its a big enough market share of blackberry and shares the same dimensions as the new at&T 9700 bold, we should see a cradle eventually

The 9700 is smaller, slightly thinner.
