WX755

Hi All,

I have a 530d and am strongly thinking of getting the bluetooth retrofitted into the car at a cost of EUR 3,600

I have 2 questions about it

(1) Do you know if the Voice Dial feature is standard with the bluetooth kit or is it another extra?
(2) Does it work properly with Nokia N95

Any comments/help much appreciated


Regards

According to my knowledge:

(1) Yes the voice dial is a standard feature
(2) Unfortunately N95 will not transfer your phonebook to iDrive, although it will pair. Mobile phones that will transfer phonebook are Motorola Razor (V3, V3i, V3xx, V9), many Samsung and Sony Ericsson. Generally speaking all phones based on Symbian S.O. are not compatibile in phonebook transfer.

Many thanks for the response Ricky. That clears up some issues for me. I also have a K800i Sony Ericsson, perhaps that phone may function better with the car.

Disappointing about the Nokia's...

Seems not fully compatible with optical (L7) sound system - with L7 an external speaker is needed

Sloppy software translation:

Universal Bluetooth free intercom, those with all Bluetooth Handys functions and over the original BMW steering wheel remote maintenance steered will can


Telephone in all peace assistance of speech recognition and use to that original BMW steering wheel keys
As soon as the user enters into his vehicle and the ignition key (press start Button), manufactures the free speech mechanism turns automatically a connection to the mobile telephone. Owing to speech recognition the driver can dictate and the plant to the names of the desired discussion participant selects automatically the appropriate number. The hands remain thereby on the steering wheel and the travel can be continued surely. Additionally the free speech mechanism can be steered comfortably over original steering wheel remote maintenance by BMW.

Highest clay/tone quality

With call acceptance the current radio program is interrupted automatically. The expenditure of the discussion is made by the autoloudspeakers, what provides for a outstanding discussion quality. The microphone contained in the scope of supply shows the voice clearly and undistorted.

Profit from a universal Bluetooth solution

Profit from a Bluetooth solution, those universal for all Bluetooth Handys to be used can.

Future security by software update

This solution offers future security, there the plant is upgrade able.
For new Handy generations can at each time software an update be accomplished.

Installation

With the installation of the free intercom no adaptation expenditure develops. The provided sets of cables are between-put ediglich between the original wiring harness and the car radio. An absolutely installation-friendly solution, with no change in the original BMW wiring harness one makes.

?3600 - That sounds a bit steep even for Irish prices! (I'm in Dublin). I have a stock phone kit and find it works well - however I have been told by some people that the sound quality from the mic is not as good as it should be (hence my interest in this and similar treads); I have always used Nokia phones (currently 6230i- with vodafone) however I have recently purchased an XDA ( O2 network) and apparently the mic in the car works great with this unit - I have yet to establish if the performance difference is simply due to the different phones. So before you jump and spend alot of money (unless you already have) just remember that you may end up changing you phone just for the sake of better audio- the other treads in this forum mention new microphones but I remain unconvinced. Just for the record I have a 2005 535D that had a software upgrade in 2007. Maybe you will not get the audio problem with the new hardware but for that sort of money if I were in your shoes I would like to be certain.
Good luck

Hi,
Did you get your bluetooth kit installed?I want to get this done myself on a 2006 530d.What do you think of the kit on
this website:

3600?? What the hell? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought several users in this forum retrofitted (=dealer coded the bluetooth option) this bluetooth function for free. New E60s have bluetooth capability built-in and only thing needed is coding?

Yes I rang a BMW dealer and was told the car would have to be wired for bluetooth costing in the
region of 3k euroCurrently looking around for another option...
