My Ride: 2006 M6: SMG. Black Sapphire, Black Leather. Delivered: 03/03/07 -------------------------------------------------------

I remember reading recently about someone having a problem with the Bluetooth phone automatically hanging up before most voicemails answer. My question is has anyone found a way to increase the number of rings or time? I just had it installed today (BTW- Works great, other than this problem, and I love it) and am having a problem with the phone hanging up. Not a deal breaker, but an annoyance. Any help would be appreciated.

When you really need to leave a message, this becomes more than a mere annoyance. I'd love to hear that there is a solution to this.

I thought a software upgrade fixed it? 15.2 maybe. Maybe not in US yet?

Same problem here.

The only workaround I've found:
- On your phone, drop the BMW handsfree connection
- dial the number from your phone
- in a matter of seconds, the BMW handsfree will connect automatically but because there was that initial delay, it won't hang up after 4-5 rings, it will actually let you leave a voicemail.

This works with my Motorola Razr V3 - can't guarantee on other phones. It's kind of a pain, but what else is a BMW lover to do? :'(

I read here that software V15x resolved this issue. I am still on V13.3 so would not know. I would love to get it fixed along with the sporadic echo for the calling party.

This problem is fixed.

I picked up my new car last week and tested this as I had read
about the 5 ring problem here. I had no problem.. there was no limit
and voice mail kicks in fine.

I don't know what version of software I'm running but I would assume its the
latest as the car was oly picked up last week.

I wish I could be sure that its fixed. The UK cars do not have to deal with assist. They have had BT from the start. I think the Pro NAV Assist BT US spec car has this problem.

I remember reading a post from a US E60 owner who had his software updated and it did not resolve the 5 ring limit.

Clarification on this would be helpful to me.... as I have a service appointment later this month, and may demand an update if that issue is proven to be resolved by an update.
