[QUOTE="k3nny, post: 134959, member: 139"] 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. [/QUOTE]
