Hi Folks,
I have recently paired up my iphone with the bluetooth. At first the phone book did not come up but on the last update everything works great. Only thing is one month after my iphone bluetooth and audio chip packed in and i had to get a new iphone. At the same time the idrive kept freezing and now it looks like the nav drive has packed in.
There is a lot on the forum about idrives freezing does anyone who has had a problem happen to have bluetooth connected to their mobile or bluetooth and an iphone connected.
I am just wondering if there could me a connection here.

Cheers

My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Depending on your car model year, you may need a software upgrade to get seamless bluetooth integration with the iPhone. A call to your SA would help sort this out.
