I'm fairly sure all 5'ers have front and rear PDC as standard; certainly I didn't spec it as an option in my current 535d, or the 525d it replaced

Tell me about it please. I thought Dension was the only company doing a MOST inteface.
Does it do all iPOD screens like the dension should or is it a Playlist/CD changer mock up like the older ICE link thingy.

Hi guys
Me and My brother have just taken del of our new 530d M sport and 535d M sport. Both have Media/Vis/Comfort seats/HUD/Spoiler etc etc. We are both in the IT field and having mobile phones with email is critical, however working in the car for hours on end also means that Bluetooth is critical especially with address books sync'd from our Outlook/Exchange servers using Active Sync. (after all its our business).
Anyway, I got my car with an old ver of the s/w and it worked with my Windows QTEK8310 phone - some quirks but most things work, but I find the time it takes to read the add book is ages. I'm getting my car upgraded with the latest s/w (which looks different) tomorrow.
I only found out that the s/w I had was old when we took del of my brother's car a week later and immediately noticed it was newer. The slslslsl dealer told me mine was updated before It left his PDI.
Anyway, My bro has got the E50 & N80 nokia's using mail for exchange and roadsync with our office mail servers working like a dream but it just cannot pair with my old version or his new version.
The funny thing is that his Nokia N80 worked on the test drive car we drove last month just before we ordered the cars, but in the last month he upgraded the Nokia firmware to support the latest email program.
So, the bottom line is you cna use some Windows mobile phones (qTek 8310 works v well) but most new Nokia E Series and N Series just aren't going to work. It's just amazing that BMW cannot get into bed with Nokia for the most popular Nokia phones out there in today's market.
Any genius's got any solutions, I'm willing to do anything...
