I've got Comfort Access and a Moto V325i. Everything works great except when I arrive at my destination. If I'm on a call, the car won't allow me to turn off the ignition (and go to the power-down BMW screen) unless I end the call or walk out of Bluetooth/comfort access range. 
(The phone handles loss of Bluetooth connection fine - it simply asks me if I want to continue the call using the phone's microphone and earpiece. But the car balks at ending the Bluetooth connection. Is there any way to end the Bluetooth connection more gracefully? Even the IDrive CTRL ALT DELETE sequence (pressing MUTE CD DVD at the same time) doesn't do it.)

Just wondering - does the loudspeaker/handset button on the cradle not work (it should transfer the call to the handset, in theory)? I haven't got CA, so I'm purely guessing. :'(

Thanks, WnRussell!! My right soft key "options" menu has a selection to "use handset". This disconnects the Bluetooth connection to my earpiece, so it should also work with the car.
Isn't this board fantastic?? Can you imagine trying to get this info from any other source????

My next challenge was getting the car ro work with a Verizon phone in 2004, so I joined the phone forums and learned how to hack the Motorola V710 phone. So yes, the boards have really been great for me.
