No anthena sign on my screen

[goldfish]

I have problem of connect my bluetooth phone, P900, with my e60. When i try to pair them, there is no anthena sign which is supposed to appear at the bottom right corner.However, i can make a call from my handphone and speak through the speaker phone in the car. But, i can't retrive phone call coming in from my car. I try to answer by pressing the phone sign button on my sterling wheel, but i just can't get connected.Somebody help.....

bro, best for you to check with AB. I know even among Nokias, some can be used, some can't.

My relatively ancient Sony-Ericsson T630 didn't seem to be able to work in an E60 too.

My Nokia 8800 works on the idrive really well...

Although there is a catch.

Ive paired both of them up in the phone of course.

So if i have bluetooth enabled on the phone when i start the car, which i rarely do cause bluetooth chews my battery up, it will connect within the first 30 seconds of the car being started up.

Then its really good. I can make calls, receive calls and etc. No problems at all.

But then if the car is already moving, then i turn bluetooth on in my handphone, and then on the idrive, i press in for (I) info, and go to communication interface.

Then open the screen where it says "Phone activation here" or something to that effect, i cant remember the exact words.

Then i go back to the mobile and open up my paired devices list, and i press connect, it will succesfully connect and the small antenna on the idrive will show up and then it will drop 2 seconds later.

I can do this multiple times and eventually after 6 - 8 times, it will stay.

But then when you try to make a phone call, it will work..

Then the line is ringing and when the other party picks up, the bluetooth drops.

My phone speaker unit also no sound and i drive said no connection to the phone (no antenna logo).

Same with received calls. Will ring, upon answer, drop.

Quite pathetic this bluetooth unit. BMW... bah.

My O2 Mini has no problems whatsoever. Even when I started the car without the Mini Bluetooth on , I can still on the Mini bluetooth later on but must put on handsfree feature...
