Replying to: bdkinnh (Aug 01, 2006 8:13 am) What's all this then? Verizon wireless Users Sue Over Disabled Bluetooth    I'm glad it's working for some, but it doesn't work for all. I guess it depends on how the car implements the phone book transfer; mine does it as a file transfer, which Verizon Wireless has disabled.   This is why I inquired how a Verizon phone is functioning with the BMW's Bluetooth in downloading the phonebook.

Replying to: bdkinnh (Aug 01, 2006 8:13 am) Looks like that story was written over a year and a half ago. It also sounds like it's focused on the v710. Since "barry's" v710 downloads the names an phone numbers, it sounds like the issues were resolved with that phone, too.   I think Verizon must have done a "turn about". All the capabilities of my Razr and Q are fully functional via bluetooth and work with my 330i....that includes phone book downloads when I paired them.   Not sure of this, but I would imagine all bluetooth phones download via file transfer to get the phone book and names. No hard wire connection is needed. I change/add/delete names and phone numbers and it's updated whenever I start my car with the phone in my pocket.   In short, bluetooth capable Motorola phones on the Verizon network are fully functional with the 3 Series.

Replying to: mozgifix (Aug 12, 2006 3:55 pm) where can i find ''' pass code to pair my bluetooth phone?   I assume you have an '06 3 series? If so, I had the need recently to re-pair my phone after a service visit. Do you have iDrive? If so, put in the password of your choice on your phone and scroll to the select password selection on the car, push select and it'll find your phone when the phone is on seek handsfree device mode.
#23 of 58 pass code for z4 by mozgifix Aug 12, 2006 (5:59 pm)
Thanks for reply, carnaught. I have z4 (no nav) and when i start the car and enable discovery on my cell phone the car finds the phone. After that I need to enter the pass code (should be in my owner manual but I don't see it anywhere!) and here I have hard stop! Any suggestions?

Replying to: mozgifix (Aug 12, 2006 5:59 pm) The pass code was set by you, correct? If so, just enter the one you designated originally....or designate a new one.

Hmmm, then I don't know. Did you try going to the BMW website?
#26 of 58 Cingular/Nokia and bluetooth compatibility question by uuyrwds Oct 14, 2006 (9:17 am)
I currently have Cingular service and my Motorola v551 seems to be great as far as bluetooth compatibility, but I am upgrading my phone and Cingular only has the Razr from Motorola. I checked the list from BMW and they seem to recommend mostly Motorola products, Razr included. The problem is that Cingular does not recommend Motorola, but rather rates Nokia highest. I want to get a Nokia 6102i, but BMW advises against it. Does anyone have any experience with Nokia products and the 325? I also don't like the way the Razr looks. Thanks guys.

Thanks guys.   I similarly have the same combination, namely the 3-series, Cingular and the v551. My problem is not with the phone itself, but with my local Cingular service. With my complaints to Cingular, they have recommended the Razr. Does their Nokia have Bluetooth? The Motorola works so well with my BMW, I hate to change brands, but I may change cell phone providers. Replies to this message: uuyrwds (Oct 14, 2006 11:23 am)

Replying to: carnaught (Oct 14, 2006 9:38 am) The Nokia does have bluetooth, but there aren't any Nokias on the BMW recommended bluetooth list. My Cingular service is great, so I won't change providers. I just need to find a bluetooth phone not on the BMW list that other members have had success with. BMW won't back up any complaints with bluetooth service on the 325 unless you buy a phone off of their list of phones which have proven to work in sinc with the BMW bluetooth service. The rep I spoke with suggested the message boards as a way of communicating with other BMW owners who may have had success sincing a phone not on their list.
