Does anyone have a fix to get the Treo 700W to work with the E60? I have a 2005 530i. I can get my Treo to pair, but it doesn't see the address book and disconnects after about 20 seconds. I know it's not supported by BMW (or the Treo) yet, but is there a work around? Anyone know when it might be? Thanks in advance.

Did you leave it connected in your BMW for a while and try to make a phone call? Mine, and those I've read about who posted here, all get disconnected after a few seconds. Thanks in advance

It does work I tried it at the sprint store maybe you need an update or something? And for the contacts to work you have to put them as a speed dial number so not all your numbers will show up and you have to program however many you can fit in the speed dial menu (75-80 numbers)it sucks but it is what it is bro.

Download Palm software update from Palm website or go to Sprint store and they can help.

It's not a 700P, it's a 700W with the Windows Mobile 5 operating system on it. Not offered by Sprint or Cingular. Thanks, though.

My Treo 700W works fine. No dropped calls, and I have plenty of long conversations. Of course, the only contacts that transfer are favorites, but I'm OK with that. I do wish I could plug into the car antenna, but guess not at this time.
