Pairs and unpairs so quickly that I can't even make a call. Sorry...
Even worse - at 70 miles - I have an Idrive problem. No stereo on my 20 minute ride home from work late last night. No anything else but the stereo was the most sorely missed. Just kept trying to reboot. Ctrl-alt-delete does a "harder" reboot but to no avail. So maybe something is wrong that fixing will fix the phone issue .... or maybe the fix will break everything else....

One thing about Bluetooth is compatible is supposed to be compatible. There is a difference in the way different phone manufacturers upload things like directory information, and files on the phone, but the voice / pairing part should be very consistent across different phones. Do you know anyone with a Bluetooth phone by a different manufacturer so you can see if the problem is more likely phone compatibility or BMW poor implementation.
Please post an update if these issues were easily resolved.

First of all - the car is amazing. Pics later (I have to work and its dark)...
So my bluetooth phone (Verizon v710) notices the car and they pair (I have matched up the pin numbers and the accept each other)... and then unpair...
And pair and unpair and pair and unpair .... you get the idea.
There is no advice in the manual (at all). It seems to have bluetooth functionality but just can't hold the pairing. I know that the v710 is somewhat bluetooth crippled but this "should" work as I am not trying to send objects and it does work in the Acura TL...
Nav and Sat are working together.
The radio reception is awesome and I love the quick autosearch. No RDS as far as I can tell.
The high beams are unbelievable ... I can't believe no one raves about them. No question the best lights I have seen in any car.
Enough - I have to go back out and drive.....

300TTto545, Please look at this attachment. I am really curious to know if it helps pair your Motorola V710 and the results you get. You need the BT Passkey that came with the car and follow these instructions. Thanks
