Anybody out there have any views on the best Bluetooth phone for the E60. I presently have a Nokia6310i which works fine with bluetooth but the phone is a little bit boring having no camera etc. Also SMS text messaging does not work

I have also contacted BMW direct who have forwarded their latest Blue tooth Compatibility matrix. (See below). Strangley this states that SMS messages should work using the 6310i phone . Does anybody out there have sms messages working with bluetooth

The SMS function works with option 644 for an e39, not on an e60 with I-drive

On my phone pro it works, but I dod't get a beep when a new SMS arrives. Also I can only write them on the handset, not via idrive, but I can read them on Idrive.

BMW will not commit to supporting the Treo 650 and Palmone's latest updater 1.08 does not claim support for BMW as well.

All that aside I've been able to get my recently patched 650 to work with my 5 series.

Doesn't work for me. Better to use a phone that is officially supported (of which there are none yet for my carrier, Sprint).

I had mine done a month ago, you should not have any problem with the bluetooth retrofit. Build date on mine is 03/01/04.
Not sure about the treo 650, good luck

mmm it would be useful to keep this bluetooth compatibility in the least possible threads, it was a nightmare for me to find information about all the headseats that are compatible when i was ready to jump in the bluetooth wagon.

how about updating this thread with the new info?
