It's VERY directional. If you sit low or far back, or if you turn away while talking then the reception is affected.

You have to talk clearly AT the mike.

Can't say I've found it phone-specific and also no problems with SQ either making calls from the car or recieving calls from 'er indoors from the car.

It's miles better than many of the OEM Bluetooth phone kits I've used.

Make sure your iPhone is updated to 3.0.0 as there were some known compatability issues with BMW before this update.

The other thing you need to do is to increase the Bluetooth volume to max on the phone rather than just increase the volume on the radio.

To do this, make a call from the car and then push volume up button on the iPhone until the bluetooth volume is at max.

I have not had any issues since doing this.

Thanks I will give it a go today.

Actually, where is the microphone on these things?

The only obvious place is up near the interior lights

It's up in the centre front roof console area as far as I recall.

Ive been using my I-phone the past week with no issues.

I have spoke to other people with there system and its been as if they were swimming!

and not to mention all echo-y - some car phone systems are terrible. I give up sometimes.
