Hi,

I have a quirky problem with my '06 530i when using my Treo 650. Everything works great with two exceptions:

1. When I get a call from someone, it shows up as a "missed call" in the iDrive. Sort of irritating because I have to clear them out every now and then when I get tired of the little phone icon displaying at the bottom of my iDrive display.

2. The date format on the call logs is not adjusted for the date format I have set for the whole iDrive (I live in the US so slash-separated MDY is the format I normally use). This appears to be defaulting to a European format (YMD with dash separators).

Anyone else seeing this on their cars? Does anyone know if there is a software update that addresses it?

Thanks in advance!

I also have a '06 530 (July build) and it does exactly the same thing with my Treo 650.

I just checked after I saw this post...I have the same issue too! Mine is a V551 :thumbsdown:

and I should have the latest software...updated just last week....
