Voice dialing through the Bluetooth system 2005 & 2006 X5

Spent a large amount of time with the dealer to find out why the BMW voice command system would not see my phone book.

It turns out that the voice command system has its own phone book that you must load separately. It does not see the phone book from the phone & on the radio/dash display.

After spending some time loading that phone and following the very limited command language the system understands; the voice dialing through the button on the steering wheel now works!

I have a Motorola 815 phone that pairs with the Blue tooth system on my X5
