Is there a way to ad Enhanced bluetooth yet through BMW? Or just aftermarket ways? And if I do that would it be "wiped" out when I bring it in to BMW for servicing and they do a major software update?

For aftermarket, you'd have to ask the guys at Bimmertech. My guess would be that they would update your VO so that future software updates would not touch the add-on. |

Has anyone successfully been able to use the call back option when reading a text message? After I receive a text and open it using idrive and select the little phone icon in the left hand column and try calling the contact back it rings a couple of times and tells me the call cannot be completed as dialed.

Thanks for posting detailed instructions. This is not easy to set up. I am wondering if anyone is actually getting an alert tone or equivalent to tell you a text or email has arrived? The only indication I have seen is an envelope icon show up-- not too obvious when focused on driving. Thanks.

Sounds unintuitive, I know, but it's how you fix it. Disable Bluetooth Audio on the iDrive Media > Your iPhone Name screen. BJ |

If I do the above step before the phone has bound with the car - then I don't get any email at all. Hope this helps |

I found this on the Apple Iphone 5 support page. I'm pretty sure the issue is with Apple's implementation of Bluetooth Message Access Profile:
__________________________________________________ _ It depends entirely on the phone you are using. My research of the Bluetooth Message Access Profile indicates that iOS6.x only supports SMS from a GSM phone (typically one that uses a SIM card like AT&T). It will support MMS as well, but I have not yet tested it. IOS 6 does not support eMail messages over Bluetooth, nor does it support SMS messaging from a CDMA network (Sorry Verizon users) I am a Quality Assurance Engineer testing the capability and reliabilty of Bluetooth products for a wide range of commercial customers. My information is derived directly from the Bluetooth SIG. |

iOS 6.0.1 and Office integration
After updating my iPhone 4 with iOS 6.0.1 I have noticed that:
1. For SMS messages, they will come through on the iDrive even when the iPhone screen is not locked. 2. SMS messages will still come through without changing the number of unread items to show after each reconnection. 3. For e-mails I could get these using iOS 6 but they always came through to the text message icon - that still happens. However on re-connecting, e-mails stop coming through. I haven't tested it completely but I think they come through only after changing the number of unread items to show. So basically no change for e-mail from iOS 6.0. I don't know why I keep torturing myself with this iOS 6 stuff and iDrive Office, but I do.

According to Wikipedia, iOS 6.1 was released (in beta, it appears) on 12 November. Let's hope that this release fixes whatever Apple needs to fix to make Office work properly with iPhones.
The list of changes for iOS 6.1 does not mention any MAP changes, but then nor did the update for iOS 6.0.1, yet the behaviour of my phone with Office changed for the better after that update. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_version_history

Apple merely doesn't support the Bluetooth MAP protocol for email at this time. Should they choose to accept and enable it they will, but it appears they have a valid reason to not to right now. It seems very doubtful that it will magically appear seeing that their own Bluetooth solution (Siri) doesn't read/reply to email either. When you see it appear for Siri one day, you'll then potentially see it for iDrive, not before. BJ |

Remember the system is transient. You'll have to send another text to the phone after it's all set up and ready. Good luck.

I think after reading all of this I will just wait on the SMS/email for the F30. It would be a nice feature but I will wait for future Apple OS updates.
I still use OS5 because in OS6 the Map Function using Google Maps is not as good and I like using it in my current set up. Let's see what happenes down the road. Also, I see Bolt James got banned?? Why was that? |
