2005 BMW 330Ci with BMW Assist & Bluetooth. Car also has iPod aux jack, dealer installed. Bought a Verizon V710 to go with it. "Paired" with no problem. Phonebook & steering wheel controls work no problem. However, only my phone itself rings (i.e. not through car speakers). More troublesome is that people can hear me talking during the call but I hear absolutely nothing in the car (though the stereo mutes as it's supposed to when calling or receiving a call).

Any ideas?

 

Try turning up the volume as people talk. Common volume control independantly controls each volume (audio, Nav, phone) as that source is being used. Make sure someone is giving a good steady stream of dialog while u do this.

 

I've tried that. There are volume issues (i.e. with the iPod Aux, being much lower than radio's level). I had my wife call me from 20 feet away and I played with all of the volume controls without success.
