Me60

I've spent days forum surfing trying to find a definitive answer regarding iPhone 2G w/ 2.0 or 2.0.1 software syncing contacts (address book) from iPhone to iDrive.

This was my setup:
2004 530i 03/04 build
Complete progman update on 08/05/08 and paid stealer add'l $134 to install bluetooth software in iDrive
iPhone 2G unlocked / jailbroken to 2.0 using pwnage

This was my problem:
I could pair the iPhone via bluetooth, make and receive calls, but I could not get the address book to sync over. When I'd go into A - Z it would always say 'Please Wait ...' . It would not show numbers missed in 'Missed Calls'. It would not list anything in my 'top 8', etc.. Basically nothing worked except I could place and receive calls via the phone or manually dial the number via idrive controller.

It is now fixed!!
Last night I downgraded my iPhone back to 1.1.4 and everything works great! Address book syncs. 'Missed Calls' , 'Received Calls' , 'Top 8', etc ... all work properly. Voice dial works - although you have to be loud and articulate - more so than with the general voice commands.

From this, my conclusion is that any E60 (and likely other models) since 03/04 will pair and offer full functionality of bluetooth with pre 3G iPhones running 1.1.4 (even after downgrading from 2.0 or 2.0.1) with E60 at current progman and bluetooth software.

If you need help downgrading your iPhone see:
