My Ride: 2008 550i sport SAT
2012 535i Xdrive msport
2007 550i Sport w/SMG (gone)
2000 528i (gone)
1991 535i (gone)
I seem to remember on my o7 550i, it shows the caller's phone number when a call appears on the Idrive screen. On my 08 550 when i answer a incoming call, it just shows ******* on the idrive screen. I is this normal or is there somekind of setting that i can adjust. Another question is when there is no one in the front seat, my "airbag off light" on the overhead console would come on and off briefly, is this normal or should it be lit all the time when no one is sitting there. I know I can call the dealer and ask, but i rather hear from you 550 owners.
thanks
thanks

It should show the number calling if your mobile phone is fully compatible.Check against the list on the BMW site.

My Ride: BMW 525i e60 (private) M-style,, Carbon Black, HUD, MM Interface.
And a BMW 325 e90 (Business),
The airbag off light is normal as far as I recall. It just shows you the airbag has been switched off because there is no pressure on the seat. As it is not a malfunction, it should not stay on.
Is it possible in the US to have your caller ID blocked? normally either the number would show (if the caller is not in your address book) or the caller name is shown( when the caller is in your phone address book).

I've paired a number of phones with my E60, everything from a Razr to a Crackberry and Caller ID has always worked.

I get stars whenever I use my phone itself to dial/answer calls. When I call through the iDrive the name or number of the person will appear on the iDrive screen.

Thats what i had on my 07 550i, if the caller is listed in my phone directory, it shows their name or number. Now when i receive call in my car, all idrive screen display is a bunch of "*****". Will try to call dealer tomorrow and ask. thanks for responses
