...funny thing is my 2001 w/ the original 4:3 screen did not have this problem, it was always easy to read. The 16:9 screen in my 2006 is very difficult to read most sunny days.

My v710 has been working flwlessly with my '06 X5 - phonebook and all. My phone is supplied by Telus (Canadian) so it may not have the same issues as the Verison phone.
