As suggested above, be sure your phone's software is up to date. I had mine updated (by Verizon, but you can do it yourself through online connection) before I went to the dealer, as I wanted to rule out anything other than the BMW hardware. Or put another way, don't give them someone else to point the finger at...

Also, I have lost some other functionality including reading new numbers stored to the handset. Now though, the car seems to be storing the numbers that were in there and no longer rebuilding my phonebook list everytime the phone is turned on. Weird.

Does anyone know if there is an available update for the MOTO Razor v3??????? I certainly can use anything that will help the reception on my BT in the car.

Thumbs down

An Update: My BTUM is working again after service and progman update. The tech uninstalled the phone and reinstalled it and then it started operating properly. Before, it was not picking up new listings from the handset.

The strength meter is still at 3 bars, but I'm told that that is the equivalent of full 5-bar readings. Frankly, I don't use the phone enough to be sure.

So, if you are having a progman update in a car with the Blue Tooth plug-in module, suggest that they uninstall and reinstall the phone after the update.
Cheers,
Ray

Ray, please clarify - did you get another Progman update and then the tech uninstalled and reinstalled the phone.

To further clarify, when you say ,,uninstalled the phone`` is that the phone in software, the BTUM, or something else.

Jonathan, No further Progman updates (probabaly at latest/September anyway). The SA said he "uninstalled the phone, then reinstalled it," and it tested out fine for handset phonebook updates, etc. I'm guessing there is a section in the Progman that controls the BT, so he deleted the phone (perhaps including the BT Module) then reinstalled it. Dunno anymore, but it works! thx.
