I'm thinking that this may have something to do with different software versions. Because like I said before, that icon is displayed for me only when my phone is paired. Regardless if I have missed calls or not.

Ignoring the phone symbol for the moment, all I get is the little antenna symbol and no signal meter/bars. Which phones are you guys using that iDrive displays the signal level with? It doesn't show signal level with my K800i...

I had two SE mobiles here that showed the initial signal strength but never changed (I found this out when I got five bars in my garage, which is a sub cellar level).
One caveat: phones tested with the U.S. TCU won?t have the same features/results as those tested with TCUs from other markets.

Are you sure you're going into the iDrive screen and deleting the missed calls there?
Did that earlier, and yes, it went away. *Bows down to Rudy*. Call me stupid, but I liked having the icon, so that I know my Q is connected.

Oh, and I almost forgot...speaking of icons, no need to "bow down" to me -- it was my pleasure to help you -- but if you feel the need to bow again, feel free to use that icon as well!

Don't you get a capital T at the bottom of the screen which shows that a phone is paired?
I have never seen the T... Why a T? Does the word in German for "Paired" start with a T?
