Hi, Has anyone else had this issue .... when I am in my car and a new call comes in, the iDrive will show the caller-id (name and number) however, it is not the current caller's information but the previous call that I received on my cell phone whether I was in the car or not. 
Thanks ....
Thanks ....

Phone seems to work normally with bluetooth, pairs perfectly, phonebook from favorites loads. Weirdly, it does give me the roam triangle indicator when the phone first pairs, but goes out if I move up to communication mode in IDrive, and I know I'm not roaming.
I was using a Motorola V710, where these issues never ocurred.
What gives???? Any suggestions?

I guess it might be an issue with the Treo700P, I did not have that problem when I had the Treo650. I did call the service advisor and he checked with a couple of tech's and they had not heard about anything like that. When I get some time I will be booking the car for service and see what they say.

This happened to me today. I'm using an XDA Atom. The phone rang, my radio got muted and the ID on the IDrive screen indicated it was my office calling me. I answered the phone and it was my wife. So, I asked her "what on earth are you doing at my office??" and she went "what are you on about? have you been drinking??" 
I checked my Atom and it correctly ID'd my wife's mobile number, but the IDrive info was wrong. That was the only incident, so far...

I've been having problems ever since I got the Treo 700. No problems with the 650.
Last week I could not get my 700 phone paired with my car. The next day it was fine. Now the caller ID doesn't work. Anybody else?

I thought I was seeing things when this happened to me the other day. I guess not. I happen to have a Sprint Treo 700p. On the inbound call, I saw the caller ID for the previous caller, not the actual caller.

I can confirm that it also happens on a Treo 700w (Verizon)... Not all the time, but it does happen...
