When the little phone lights up next to the number of bars what does that little phone mean? Sometimes it shows up other times it doesn't for me (again this is in lower middle section of the iDrive)

Thanks

It's usually visible when you have a "missed call"...

Is anyone getting SMS working over Bluetooth with Verizon as a carrier, if so which CIP version is needed?

Sorry for missing that if it has already been posted somewhere. I am searching, but all I find is that SMS works ONLY with the CPT9000. Nothing in this Bluetooth & Cell Phone Forum.

Hmm, I thought it just meant my phone was paired. I know it is displayed all the time with my RAZR, missed call/ message or not.

I've always found it very hard to get that icon as you need to have the car ignition on and phone paired for it to appear, maybe happens once a year to me, if I'm not in the car neither is my key

That icon Rudy posted appears for me when my Motorola Q is paired with the car. That's the only way I can tell if my phone is paired without physically taking it out and looking at it.
