I've had no problems with Bluetooth (I have a Verizon Treo 700), until this week. The pairing started to go in and out in about 2 minute cycles. Calls were dropped during these cycles. Then, the pairing dropped altogether. I re-initialiized the pairing, and it works for awhile, starts to cycle on/off, and then goes kaput. My phone has no problems with Bluetooth connection to my ear bud, so it seems to be a problem with the car.
Anyone with similar problem or ideas? Thanks!

Hi,
my Sonyericsson did the same today.Did u remember to remove the device from the car ? Then you have to remove it from the phone, switch off the engine and phone, and then start the procedure for matching again. It worked OK im my car.
Good luck.

I'm bringing my car in to have them adjust the HUD display and will have them look at the Bluetooth at that time.

looks like that your phone has a virus. Is it -in the bluetooth options visible to others ? if so u should check the opposite,not visisble to others. Maybe you need an update from BMW dealer for your Idrive health.

A few weeks ago my Verizon Razr V3m lost the pairing wih the car. I was in the middle of a call. The phone recognized the car but the car wouldn't let it pair. I had no problems before that. I deleted the phone and tried to re-install. After a few unsuccessful tries, I got it to work. Yesterday the same thing happened. This time, I couldn't get the phone deleted or paired. I tried to deactivate Bluetooth through I-Drive and couldn't - it appeared frozen. I turned the car off for a couple of hours and tried again and the phone paired with no problems. No idea what's going on. Very weird.

Have you had continued problems with the Bluetooth? My is not working except sporadically, and now my phone is throwing errors. I haven't had a chance to try to pair with another Bluetooth phone.

My solution was to turn off transfer of the address book feature in my BB and it works fine - no dropped calls, connects all the time. Interesting that my previous BB (7130) had the same address book data but could sync the entire address book no problem. I am running CIP 24.02 (yes, the no ebrow version...)
I suspect your problem is also address book related. Hope this helps - good luck.

Interesting! I know this has been discussed but don't recall the details: what format of storing numbers is "objectionable" between the car and Treo 700 (microsoft)?

Don't know all the characters that are problematic, but I understand from BB forums that the + sign or " symbol are trouble. Switch off the address book transfer to confirm that is the problem first. Then check on some treo forums - my research has been specific to blackberry.
I feel your pain - super frustrating. In my case a have about 1500 contacts so I doubt I will be able to chase out all the problem characters....

Sounds like these phones need an update. It's not the car.
Oddly, the profiles on the phones can radically alter the way the interaction happens.
For example, my car has never had any code updates - it still has the rev that it came with from the factory - built in Mar 05. I have a Motorola Q that I recently updated. Prior to updating the phone OS, when I had multiple phone numbers for a contact, the car didn't mark the entries to indicate the kind of number it was... e.g. work, cell, home, etc... After updating the phone OS, the car now receives and displays (w) beside work numbers, ? beside cell, and (h) beside home. This information was always in the phone, it just hadn't been told to send it correctly before. The newer phone book bluetooth profile that was part of the phone update corrected it. Also, the signal meter (dead before) now shows up fine on the car.
So, I'd say try updating to a newer phone OS rev if you can. See if that helps.
