I have been trying to whip RF e60 and e90 boards back into shape. Talk about a thankless task. For my efforts I was told today, Thanksgiving Day, that "I should be shot". Earlier this week JamesS3 said that I should be beat up. What triggered this response by JamesS3 was my two posts about his creditability on the e90 board. After some people were buying his line of nonsense, I suggested that before giving him creditabilty they should search the RF e60 Board to read his classic posts. JamesS3 was also upset when I questioned why he was so active on the RF e90 board, after he stated repeatedly on the e60 board that he going to buy an MB E500, which is twice the price of an e90.

Anyway back to Bluetooth. I haven't noticed the problems that you alluded to. I'll look into them. My biggest problem now is that I switched to the RAZR V3, my calls have been dropped more frequently. I need to go in and get the chip programmed with the current list of tower sites. In general I am quite happy with Bluetooth because I am not married to an obsolete cell phone.

i don't know who the hell he is and don't care about rf at all . but i think he knows you can easily throw him to jail because of his nonsense comments .

Add another BT annoyance to the list:

When dialing using voice commands - the L7 music source kicks back on for a second or two after issuing the "dial" command but before the network picks up the ringtone. Does not occur when dialing from I-Drive. It's about as aggravating as the five ring limit.

Anybody else getting this?

Yup! but I can live with that. The five ring limit is a real limit as is the lack of ability to take a call wait. You hear the beep, but are helpless.

I have a Moto V3 RAZR.

I also cannot leave voice mails for people because of the ring limit.

My stereo also cuts back in briefly after voice dialing by name. Your instinct is to hit the off button.... but that actually just turns the stereo on when the phone does connect.

Is it possible to use the handset to switch over? I know this defeats the whole purpose of going hands free - but it works for navigating through voice mail.

Also annoying, if I select a name in iDrive from the book, and push teh button, the call/dial command is grayed out. I have to select the name in iDrive, and use the telephone button on the wheel to dial.

Seems odd.

Well while we are at it, here is another one.

You receive a call. Then press the steering button to accept. No feed back for atleast 10 seconds. You are not sure if its taken. Actually it has and the party is on the line wondering why you are not saying "Hello"

Actually I think they are greyed out if there is no signal. I often see even the call icon greyed out if that is the case.

Doesn't happen to me....

The flash back on of the stereo is annoying as is the lack of response when answering a call as is the inability to take call waiting....
