Is there any way one a call is connected to dial an extension #? I have a new 335i and there I can select numbers on the bottom of the screen But i can't do it on my 2005 545i.
Thanks
Thanks

RTFM?
Here's the page.... (Touch tone dialing)
You may also be able to program that into the speed dial.

The latest CIP makes dialling numbers after connection much easier because the numpad available all the time.

Thanks guys, I think a software update is due for me. I am awaiting ver 25. Anyone know when it is due?
Thanks
Thanks
Also, on earlier software versions, there was a "pause bug" that caused pauses entered into a phone's phonebook to not translate to the car. Instead of dialing a pause (usually indicated by the letter 'p' on the phone's screen), the car interpreted the 'p' by it's alphabetic equivalent '7' (PQRS).
I think that bug is fixed now (and has been fixed for a while) so now I can pre-program a phone number, a pause, and an extension number on my BlackBerry and when I select that entry from iDrive, the car dials the number, pauses, then dials the extension perfectly -- without me needing to use the on-screen keypad.
