With a Razr V3i, I got it to pair, but I cannot pull up the address book. Am I missing something? Thank You

No idea. Phone book from my V3i transfers fine to my E60. The first time will take a few minutes if you have lots of entries in your phone book.

Did you get it working? Sometimes the first synch takes about an hour. I assume you can place and receive calls.

Your carrier probably crippled the Bluetooth profile so that you can't transfer your phonebook over.

My RAZR v3 had no problem also transferring the address book, I have about 105 entries and it did take some time to complete it.

Hello All,

I bought a new 2007 530Xi with nav and BT on Dec 02nd. I paired my original Cingular Razr V3 and everything worked fine. About 2 days ago - I upgraded my old phone to the new V3r Red RAZR. For the first 20mins the BT worked great - address book loaded and everything. But then after that the Bluetooth would connect and then disconnect 30sec later then reconnect and then disconnect. So I thought maybe the phone was broken - so I went to the cingular store and got a replacement phone - this also had the same issue. Cingular says that it is the BMWs out of date firmware causing the prblem. As of now I returned the new phone and am back to using the old phone. Has anyone had a similar issue? Also how do I check the firmware on the car and what is the latest firmware available? Thanks.

The only way to check you car is to ask your dealer. And they may not be able to tell you unless they did an update since you picked up the car.

I haven't had any issues with recent Motorola Phones on my '07 530i but I haven't tried the V3r. I would think that it's almost the same phone as the other V3's so I would suspect some FUD from the Cingular rep. You might check what version of the software the V3r had as well.
