My Ride: 2006 525i Jet Black, keep my passenger seat extra clean after I(married/3kids) drop off my new mistress(half black/half indian gives great head even though I have Jock itch/yeast infection), don't want anything leaking from her crotch after I have my way with her

Hi All,

I have a bluetooth phone that is only compatible for use as handsfreee. (Blackberry 7250). I have received nothing but complaints on the sound quality to the person I am talking to. Very muffled, cannot hear, etc)

IS THERE A FIX FOR THIS. I HAVE ENSURED NOTHING IS BLOCKING THE HOLE.

You may have one of a few known problems:

1) What CIP software are you running? Echos were heard in V13.x but this was fixed by V15.x.

2) It's possible your microphone was installed backwards. There were a few posts on turning it around and clearing up poor audio quality.

3) Try adjusting the volume lower and speaking softly.

Try making a BMW Assist call. If they can hear you ok then the mic is fine. Also there may be a sofware update for your blackberry. Check your service provider and you can probably download it off of their site. I have not seen an E60 vehicle used with blackberry at my store yet, but I have seen it work (handsfree only) ok with E53s (X5). Also maybe try moving your device towards the rear of the vehicle and see if reception improves.

I think there's a new microphone part as well. I just had my echo significantly reduced by my dealer changing the microphone. I think I remember the tech saying something about a newer, redesigned part...

BT on my last car was terrible, people could hardly hear me, however on the new one BT is superb, perfectly clear and needs the volume turning way down. BMW have certainly changed something on the hardware. I doubt if a software upgrade would give the improvements I've experienced.

What handset are you using and does it have a suitable mounting cradle available..?

What kind of complaint did you make to get the new mike?
