On the I-drive screen next to the little antenna / signal strenth Icon I had a cell phone icon for a while then it went away, then it came back then it went away again. I was just wondering if people either have the icon or not?

No, not a triangle, I never saw that, it looks like a little cell phone. It shows when the car is paired with a phone whether there is a signal or not. If there is no signal the antenna goes away.

Oops, I just re-read your first post... No I don't have a cell phone icon and I have never seen one.
When I am paired the antenna Icon = cell signal. When not pair antenna = Radio signal.

good, i am not going mad then..My car went to dealers last November time for an I-drive upgrade to repair window lock out problem and when i got it back for around a couple of hours i had a picture of a mobile phone next to the antenna.. it dissappeared and i have not seen it since... i asked my dealer .. he looked at me blankly and said words to the effect of sorry sir i have never seen that one, is it causing you a problem ? as it was not i let it drop.
Interested to see if anyone else has seen this or are me and Vtbound suffering from some sort of E60 bluetooth hysteria !

Hey I get that little phone icon as well.
When I start the car and phone pairs to idrive I get the antenna icon, as long as the phone remains connected to idrive.
If I get a call or make a call, that little phone icon appears. OK this is the part that I'm not sure about. After I hang up, most of the time, the little phone icon stays, but I think it disappears after a while....
No idea what this icon is about

Mine would disappear and then a shadow of the phone icon would appear.
I recently turned BT off on my handset when I went away on a trip (to avoid the BT Virus and minimize the drain on the battery) and then turned it on again when I returned and first got back into the car. It has been visible on my idrive ever since.
