Z4 and iphone no longer compatible!? FIXED - now works!!!
- Thread starter sapphire_nick
- Start date
I did the software update to 2.0.1 overnight, went down to the car to try it before going to work this morning and...
It still doesn't seem to want to connect!
Will try again over the weekend but I'm not hopeful.
I might have to swallow the £164 and be the pilot for the BMW software update...
All donations gratefully received...!!!

well today i had my car looked at by bmw, they found no faults found and after much arguing with the service manager they decided to flash my bluetooth module to the latest software.
it was agreed that if the upgrade worked they would charge me half and hour trade price labour but if it didn't work they would charge me nothing....
unfortunately it didn't make any difference, they are now saying that i will need a new bluetooth module for it to work, i didn't explain that this worked on my previous iphone but apparently it shouldn't have ????
my bluetooth module is from march 07 (build date) even though 1st reg was 09 sept 07 WTF? so their saying that i will need to buy a new module for this to work properly!!
the service guy is going to talk to bmw warranty on my behalf and see what they can sort out, hopefully there do a 50/50 deal so i can have my phone working properly with my car again.
i cannot believe how shocking this is!! i also go moaned at for reading forums (seriously who do they think they are) will update when i get a call back early next week.
so is it an apple fault or bmw, im now thinking it would be easier for apple to do something with the bluetooth stack to sort this? does anyone know if there are any differences between the old and new iphone bluetooth????
cheers

how does someone figure this stuff out???
basically copy 2000 dummy entries to your contacts list, unpair & repair and just keep scrolling through your contacts until it completes!!!(dont let the phone goto sleep)
and to think bmw wanted to charge me £400 for a new BT module...
bmw e87 + iphone 3g 16gb (white
) +latest 2.1 firmware syncing just fine and dandy!!!!!!!
chufffed and just made my bad day a whole lot better!!
