For refresher, I just installed the V710 snap-in adapter onto my '03 X5 and it appears that it was charging and received full signal strength for the antenna.

This morning, I found time to pair the new V710 phone with my X5. Pairing went very well. Within seconds, I was able to get to input the passkey into my V710 phone.

Mine you, this V710 phone is my secret gift for my wife (she doesn't know yet) and therefore has not been activated. I had not moved her Verizon service from her T720 over to this new V710.

So, while I was preparing to sign off from my X5, I noticed that the V710 displayed 'Disconnecting BMW ULF'. I checked the configuration on the phone and I had it set to 'Power ON' for the BT. Further observation indicates that the V710 displays cycled between 'Connecting BMW ULF' and seconds later, 'Disconnecting BMW ULF'. This goes on forever.

I went ahead to selected BT to 'Power OFF' and dug up my original installation instructions. On one of the page (I think pg 9) of the BMW BT installation manual, I read the topic of F-Coding ULF Control Module to Vehicle. When I installed this unit late last year, didn't recall having to Code the ULF module. I even recalled pairing my old V600 phone and it worked at that time. I also recalled a set of instructions listed within X5World by one of the forum users that coding ULF is not needed (though I cannot find that article anymore).

So, long story short, I hope my situation is caused by the V710 not being activated. It is running the new code 8700-1.40 (I think)

Any ideas here???

With the Visteon module, the V710 is compatible with 1.3 Software and 552 Module or 1.4 Software and 522 Module but no phone book pairing either way.

The V710 is not compatible with the 089 or 387 Module

Here's the full part numbers - http://www.xoutpost.com/articles.php?...icle&artid=171

My ULF is 552 (1st generation). When I purchased the unit from Vaheh of Crevier, he indicated that 552 was the only unit he had in stock.

In any case, after installing the 552, I had it working with the V600. I had heard that V710 had problems but if I recalled correctly, Rangerfan had indicated that with 1.40 s/w, the problems with the V710 were fixed and the phone now pairs and the address book does transfer.

I am kinda lost and hopefully when I activate the V710, this problem goes away. Hopefully this is not just wishful thinking

I don't think I ever said anything about address book transfers, other than to reiterate that they DO NOT transfer on the V710 with the -552 module. If I did say otherwise, I am sorry for the confusion.

Hi Rangerfan

I must have read it wrong. If the V710 does not allow the transfer of address book with the 552 module (even with the phone with 1.40 sw), will the V710 transfer the address book if the ULF is upgraded to the 522 module?

If the 522 works, I will pursue upgrading my 552 to the 522.

Any help here???

The answer is NO! The V710 with 1.40OR firmware and -522 does pair and you can make and receive calls handsfree but no phonebook transfer.

The only module that works with the V710 in BMW are the BT/Assist module made by Motorola which comes with the 2005 BMWs.

The phonebook on the V710 with 1.40OR firmware will transfer with that BT/Assist module. They have a part number that ends in either -993 and now recently replaced with a part# that ends in -119.

Hi Kewl X5

Thanks for that bit of info.

Since the 993 BT/Assist module works, can I actually replace my 552 with the 993 but I will not use the Assist. And if this is possible, is the 993 a one for one replacement ... i.e. take out the 552 ULF and reinstall with the 993 with the same wiring

Thanks again

Hi Kewl X5

Another question. Since now we know that the V710 with 1.40 firmware pairs with the 522, is the V710 with 1.40 suppose to pair with the 552 (the unit I have) ?

I am wondering if I am just running into an abnormal situation. Based upon Jeff's previous comments regarding that V710 with 1.3 working with 522, to minimize any challenges, I may even look into down rev the firmware from 1.4 to 1.3 if it is possible.

Any ideas to my 1st point ?

Thanks again
