Blackberry 7290 and 2005 X5 4.4

chipx5 · #1 05-06-2005, 06:32 PM

I managed to get my new blackberry 7290 paired with the X5, however I can't answer or dial with steering wheel controls or voice recognition. Anybody have any suggestions?

Unfortunately I was never able to get my BB 7250 to do more than what you have (the 7250 is just the CDMA version of your 7290). I have a 2005 X5 with BT/Assist. I finally gave up. According to the RIM site, it is a known issue with BMW/BB incompatibility regarding implementation of bluetooth. Good luck and post back if you ever get it working...

The blackberry 7100 is one of the listed "compatable" phones, but it says that you have to manually transfer the phonebook and I have no idea how to do that. If the 7100 works the 7290 should.

that's about as far as I got with my HPC PocketPC 6600. It paired, but I couldn't dial or receive calls from the car and if I dialed manually on the phone it wouldn't transfer the call.

I have got the 7100 working with X5 2005 however don't know how to up load phone book. Salesman fot voice activated calling once but I am not having any luck. Where do I find a list of commands voice activation understands.

Voice commands for the BMW VR system are

Dial number
Dial name
Add name
Delete name
Play phonebook
Clear phonebook
Redial

If you are talking about voice commands supported by your particular phone, you'd have to refer to the phone documentation for this.

Hope this helps.

Many thanks. Tried adding number, seems to respond but don't know how to terminate the number. Tried end and then it thought I was saying 59 then terminated. Save?
Tried adding name and it said sorry and terminated. I guess I need to have some detailed instructions on how to use the system. Any idea where I would find them.

Follow this sequence:

YOU: "Dial Number"

VR: "Please speak the number"

YOU: "555-555-5555"

VR: "555-555-5555 Continue"

YOU: "Dial"

VR: "Dialing"

------------------------------

If the VR doesn't have the right number, say "Cancel" instead of "Dial"

Nobody answered the question on how to upload the phone book from the 7100 to the car. Anyone know how to do that?
