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.

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?

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.

[/quote]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.

[/quote]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"

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....
