Yesterday I got the BMW Bluetooth retrofit kit installed in my 03 BMW 325i.
Really cool. However, there is a little problem, and I was wondering if anyone has an idea what could be wrong. My phone is the Sony Ericson T68i. Is anyone using this setup?
First the phone connects fine. I can make and receive calls over the steering wheel or the voice recognition system. I noticed that the phone loses connection to the car after every call and reconnects. No big deal, but I wonder if this is normal.
After I use the system for a few calls problems start occurring.
The phone shows it’s connected to the car, but the car says “no phone”. I’ve to turn the phone off and back on to get a working connection again.
And more frequently: The phone display shows a connection, the BMW also doesn’t indicate any problems. It displays the phonebook in the car stereo and everything else seems to work normal. However, when I try to place a call it says ‘dialing’ but then it switches right back to radio mode. To resolve this I also have to re-establish the connection by either turning the phone off and back on or turning the car ignition off and back on, which of course I can’t do while on the road. So I usually just turn the phone on and off. Then in most cases it works again, but usually I have to repeat this procedure after every single call, once it starts occurring.
Now my problem is to figure out, what’s going on. Is it the car or the phone or just a wrong setting in the phone? I’ve tried a different T68i with the same problems. Any ideas?
