After upgrading the car's software, the cell phone symbol would appear on the bottom of the I-Drive screen. Now it is gone. Also the triangle next to the cell phone signal strength meter is gone today. It was there yesterday. Why do the symbols appear? Why do they vanish?

The triangle symbol comes on when my cell phone is in AT&T network. When I am in Cingular network, no traingle symbol. My car has not gotten any software upgrade yet.

Yes, triangle is supposed to denote "roaming".

Yepp, the phone icon is there until you've checked your "missed calls list". If you do that the phone symbol will disappear.

My "phone icon" shows up randomly even when it is definitely not a missed call. It would show when I picked the call up too fast

Triangle, never seen on mine, it is supposed to show roaming.

I see the phone icon only when I have missed calls, checking missed calls icon disappears.
