So my Audiovox SMT 5600 with Windows Mobile 5 build 14847.2 works perfectly with the Bluetooth system in my 06 530i. All my contacts where uploaded into my 530i without a hitch, and I was able to make and receive calls without a problem. This particular build of Windows Mobile 5 has bluetooth profiles for BMW and Acura specifically, so I had to see if it would work in my car. I can report that it works flawlessly. Its likely that any Smartphone with this build of Windows Mobile 5 will work fine with BMW Bluetooth systems.

KickinA - your phone is running an unreleasd version of Windows Mobile 5.0 that provides the update to support BMW BT car kits..... now where did you get that update.....

Everyone will have to wait until carriers release Windows Mobile 5 with this build. I'm not too sure when carriers will have this build though. How did I get this build? I'm beta testing this version and I just happened to get an 06 530i recently, so I thought e60.net members would like to know that it works without a hitch in our cars

Thanks for the update -- BTW, aren't you under some sort of NDA as a beta tester?
