Bluetooth quality

My original bluetooth unit was shockingly bad and pretty much useless over 70mph!
After it was changed for a 2007 module it has been much improved..... so if your bluetooth was to develop a fault..........the warranty may provide you with a unit boasting the latest software :fingertap:
Failing that for the EU bods amongst us, BMW charge 99 Euros to upgrade the module to the latest version. I am sure that the US dealers will offer a similar service.

I also have a Palm Treo 650 (Sprint). I think it is excellent. When it was 1st paired up, the speed-call contacts automatically got downloaded (not all contacts, just the ones in the 5 pages of speed-calls). Was VERY impressed. When I get an incoming call, caller ID is displayed. I can't get signal strength on the basic Business radio.
Works MUCH-MUCH better than my wife's Infiniti M35, where contacts must be entered by hand. In the M35, most sentences must be repeated as the other party has a very hard understanding, even with the windows up. I expected my Z4, with it's rag top, would be worst. I'm asked very seldom to repeat what I said. Then I tried it with the top down--even more impressed. I expected total garbage. On the contrary, get asked very seldom to please repeat, even while driving at 30 MPH in traffic, still with the top down. I left a long voicemail on my home answering machine to study the results. Still very impressed. I found speaking more closely to the microphone above the steering wheel didn't help at all, just stay back in the seat is all you need to do.
My wife has a Moto Razr V3 phone, which paired up fine & downloaded her entire phone book. I really prefer the Treo's function of just downloading speed-call contacts.
I have not seen the problem of automatically dialing the last number dialed.

I use the Bluetooth enabled Garmin Nuvi 660 with my Motorola V3. This combo seems to work quite well. The mic works well except at speed with the top and windows down. Listening through the Nuvi's built-in speaker is marginal but listening through the Z4's radio is clear and as loud as you care to have it. The Nuvi has a built-in FM transmitter, so you can connect to the radio that way or use a hardwire connection to the radio's axillary port.
Another plus, the Nuvi screen also shows contact list, last calls, etc. information in the phone's memory, so it's very easy to initiate calls from it.
