Hi guys
I was wondering if any of you guys have a problem answering an incoming call via Bluetooth?
When my phone rings, I could see the calling number on the i-Drive screen, but when I press the knob to select ACCEPT for the call, I get disconnected
The same thing happens if I press the phone button on the steering wheel?
Is this a known issue? I had this before I updated the CIP to V24.0 for the ipod and still have it?
Am I doing something wrong
Thanks for your input

Mines a June 2006 model, not sure what CIP, and had Bluetooth delivered from the factory. I use a Motorola V3 and the only problems I ever had was when the battery on my phone was end-of-life, and it caused problems with the phone's software in general. I now have a new battery in the phone and everything works fine, with Bluetooth in the car and in normal use. It may therefore be a case of the phone being the problem, not the BMW Bluetooth set-up.
What phone are you using and do you have other problems with the phone?

I use Sonyerricson P910i; and I have no other problems with it (except it won't sync address book with the car, which is a common problem with most new-ish phones).

Is it possible your that phone, when paired with the car, answers automatically? If it does, then you are in fact disconnecting it.
I will try not interfering with the next call and see, although I doubt it.

Mine always answers the call automatially, then 'appears' to disconnect, then 'reconnects' again before we can hear each other.

The same thing happens if I press the phone button on the steering wheel?Prior to this, I had to manually 'Accept' the call to get connected. Don't know what changed...545i gremlins at work
Gives me a reason to request a S/W upgrade the next time I am at the dealers'

That's a possibility. Did a quick review of my RAZR Bluetooth Device Details and the Access was set to 'Automatic'. I have changed it to 'Always Ask'. I will experiment today and see if this fixes the issue.
