BlueTooth interaction for the e90
Can anyone describe in detail how the car will interact with your bluetooth phone? Specifically, which displays and buttons in the car will interact with your phone? Please provide pictures (of both Nav and non-Nav cars) if possible.
I know on the steering wheel, you can see buttons to pick up and hang up your phone. Is there a way to scroll through your Contacts on your phone? If so, where do the numbers show up (on a display in the dash, display on your radio or clock, etc.)? Also, if you get a call while driving, will your car display the Caller ID anywhere? I've seen cars that display the Caller ID number in the rearview mirror (I think it works by having a digital display under the mirror coating). Any infor would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Universal bluetooth preparation is the option you want, this feature is able to transfer objects to or receive from a bluetooth enabled mobile, meaning it is able to download contact objects from your mobile. however, it is limited to certain mobiles
I wanted to order this option too, but it aint cheap!! |

Oh, you're right, it's not cheap. That's why I'm asking to see what I get. If all the bluetooth can do on the e90 is pickup and hang up calls (through the speaker system), I'm not sure if it's that great a value. Someone please tell me there is at least a display somewhere in the car that interacts with the phone.

I'm buying a Motorola Razr which a couple of salesmen at the dealer use and recomend. They use it in new 5ers and say it works great |

I took at look at the ordering guide and have a question.
Do you have to order BMW Assist to get Bluetooth? I don't want BMW Assist. I don't want to give someone the ability to track my car (OnStar can do this and I assume BMW Assist is the same deal) There was actually a case in Vegas where the police used Onstar to listen in on what was going on inside the vehicle. That is supposed to be illegal but the capability is there with these devices.... |

I am almost positive that you need BMW Assist to get the Bluetooth capabilities. Although, both do come with the Premium Package so probably more people might be getting it without realizing...
My personal opinion is that in a time when states are outlawing phones without handsfree (DC, NJ, etc), this is almost invaluable to properly use the phone in your car. I have not tried it out on the e90, but I have in a 2004 5 series and it really works incredibly, phonebook integration, caller id display, voice dialing without training, and direct dialing from the navigation system. |
