With all of the software updates, has anyone noticed that the pause that is stored in a phone number is recognized by the car yet? Mine still does not work. For example when you dial voicemail and yuo dial 123-456-7890#1223 it should pause at the # or whatever the pause character is on yuor phone, but this was a problem last year. Has it been resolved as of yet?

Thanks

CIP 16.2 allows digits, letters and the *, #, + keys so it MIGHT work with your carrier.

With Verizon, you need to enter either 'p' for pause, or 'w' for wait. Unfortunately, BMW converts the alphas to handset digit equivalents, so that 'p' becomes '7'.

If your setup needs alphas to pause or wait, you are out of luck, except if you need to dial 800-FLOWERS without looking at your handset, it will do that, and by voice command.
