Hi
I have a BMW X5 and a HTC HD2 with the newest ROM. When I enter the car, HD2 is recognised automatically by the car and I can place phonecalls dialing from my HD2. The only thing that does not work is that BMW tries to upload my phonebook from the phone but it does not get it. BMW says "please wait" - forever.
Before I flashed the ROM, this worked. Anyone has any ideas? I would even pay for someone in Zurich who comes and fixes this. One thing I could do of course is to downgrade my ROM again. But before I do this, I want to explore any other options.
Thanks a lot!
PS: jetwaremobile.com definately does NOT work on HD2
I have exactly the same issue. The HTC HD2 works ok for calls etc but the phone book upload is "please wait" forever. Very annoying. I have the standard up to date ROM and BMW X5 2009 model. Any help would be great.
Thanks

I have a 2008 BMW, and I did experience this the first time..I sat there waiting for a few mins adn then got bored...but after I had turned the car off, been away and come back..it transferred straightaway.
Funnily enough, when I had my iphone (yes..sorry) I had the little image of the phone next to the BT signal on the display. I don't get this straight away with the HD2, but it always eventually appears..and then stays there until I hard reset my phone and do a ROM upgrade and then start the pairing again..where I just get the BT signal...then randomly..a few weeks later, the phone image appears again....very odd
Works fine here with a BMW 5x from 2008.. Using miris 6.5.x ROM

Hi, I also have a 2008 BMW (E93) and I do see the phone logo. It also syncs about 250 of my >3000 contacts. With my TyTN2 I used "Jetware Mobile" to sync just one dedicated category. But that doesn't work anymore with MinMo 6.5

Which ROM do you use 1.66? or earlier? With my earlier ROM I had no problems, but since I upgraded to 1.66 (German), the phonebook does not transfer...
Bluetooth auto control problem
I can’t control my bluetooth (on/off) when using Inesoft phone profiles/controls; I have also tried other programs but no success(in another program the window of bluetooth was disabled); through all programs, I could control phone, WIFI, and gprs but not the Bluetooth. The only way to turn the Bluetooth on/ off is the Comm Manager (Manually); could anyone help please. Thanks

thank you, I am glad it worked for you...you must have a newer generation ULF than me then.
Is your phone HD2? mine is Toshiba TG01..I have managed to make it work 50/50 of the times, but I do not know WHAT CHANGES are between it working and not working...it is very frustating to know (and experience it working) that it can/should work, but not being able to
I have a new HTC Mini HD and have the same problems with my 2009 BMW 3. BT Headset function works just fine, but iDrive keeps trying to sync the telephone book, unsuccesfull. Instead, my phone's battery gets drained. Anyone any sollutions?
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for your question, but it sounds like it might have something to do with the bluetooth stack used for that ROM/Radio not being recognized by the car. Perhaps the layer that deals with data transfer is removed. Sorry I can't be of more help here.
What I can do to help is to offer a warning. I am a former BMW Client Advisor, and have been told many, many times by service technicians that using phones which are not specifically approved by BMW can affect your car's ECU (brain) and if it needs to be repaired or replaced, it will not be covered under warranty. That could be just nonsense to force you into buying only phones which BMW has tested (or vendors have paid for a marketing fee), or it might be spot on, in which case you run a pretty big risk.
Hope this helps.
OK, problem solved. BMW updated my carsoftware to its newest version last week and now my HD2 works perfectly with my car (again). I can make calls AND my phonebook is synced as well.
Hint1: Try if your phonebook sync problem exists with the SIM contacts as well as with the phone contacts

Hi All,
I have a BMW X5 2005 model. I can pair the phone OK but it constantly disconnects and reconnects once the transfer of the phonebook occurs. The phonebook transfers always start from scratch when this happens and nothing gets loaded to the car's phonebook.
If a call comes in, or if I make a call while it is connected (like within 5 seconds) the phone stays connected for the duration of the call.
I have tried all the Regisrty tweaks and none change the behaviour.
I also read it is because the HD2 uses Widcomm BT stack and not the MS BT Stack.
Zippolly and a_petrov303 and all those that have it working, can you please tell me which Rom you are using? I am using the latest Energy's 6.5.x rom. i noticed someone mentioned Miri's 6.5.x Rom works.
Thanks,
Rob
I have a 07 E60. The HD2 pairs fine, synchs contacts fine, but the sound quality is so bad it's not useable. Of course bmw says it's not a compatible phone, but I think there is a problem with the car as my Diamond won't find it, even though it is supposed to be supported
its mainly due to the car bluetooth, BMW etc don't make the car kit mostly siemens do and they are slow on the uptake of doing updates.
anybody found a snap-in for the hd2 yet?
I have a 7-series F01 and it is really annoying to have to deal with that usb cable...
Ontopic
I had the BT problem too, deleting the profile and repairing the phone did the trick for me...

I picked up my Audi A4 last week, and the MMI + telephone connection high works to a limited degree with the Touch HD.
It correctly identifies the Orange network, 3G, varying signal strengths, and can dial out and receive calls, but I don't have access to other functions such as the phone's last dialled calls, missed calls, phonebook/contacts list (biggest problem!), etc.
I'm using the original 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE rom which came with the HD, but has anyone had any success with the MMI by using other roms?
Guess this does not help, but I had the same problem with a brand new mercedes C200 and Dutty's 2.8 firmware...
Cheers
[update]
maybe this thread helps a little: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-456900.html
some say it worked after upgrading to 1.19...
personally I think bluetooth has always been ****ty
Pretty interesting that a version of Duttys made it stop working, at least it shows bluetooth compatibility is affected by different roms. Thanks for the link, it seems the JetWare program might work too, but updating the rom is a last resort for me since I've never done it before. I'll try JetWare first, and if it stops working after a few days, I'll go for the rom update. Thanks again!
You'r welcome! I am on Duttys 3.0 right now but never had a car again with bluetooth so couldn't test
If you never flushed your HD - try! You will be massively excited I swear
Compared to the original firmware the phone was unusable slow and had a ugly user interface... I can really suggest Duttys 3.0! Once you are through the process of flashing it's quiet easy...
Cheers
Heh, maybe I'll go for the regular handset option for my next car, seems like it'd be less of a headache. Anyway I upgraded my HD to 1.19 and there was no change in displaying phonebook contacts, so I decided to flash Dutty's v3.3 and it still doesn't work properly...but I'm liking Dutty's a lot, definitely glad I upgraded to it. Thanks for suggesting it!
I'm back to square one again though, so if anyone else has some advice/experience with getting it to work, I'm all ears
Anyone at all?
Is the Audi new or used? If it is used you might have an older version of the MMI software. Good luck getting Audi to do the upgrade for you. Check out the forums at Audiworld.com.
I have an A6 and have the same problems.
Have you tried Jetware? I used that for awhile but I found I would rather use a headset now.
I use a Touch Pro with my 09 A4 and I have the same problem. Everything works great except when it comes to syncing the phone book. After pairing the phone with the car, a message pops up asking if I'd allow the car to access my contact. I'd answer yes, but then nothing happens.
For some unknown reason, I was able to upload the phonebook once. I don't know what I did differently that time but the phonebook mysteriously showed up in the car memory. However, the next time I started the car the phonebook was gone.
Hi everyone. My HD works fine on my 2006 Audi A8L. After initial pairing with the MMI (default pairing code is "1234") you have to wait a little while and the phone book and recent calls pop up. In the Phone > Setup of the MMI I selected only to use phone memory.
One issue I have is that the 150 contacts I have are somehow displayed in 2 iterations of the alphabet, each showing only a half the contact list.
Also good to know. Pairing with Audi's MMI is only possible the first 5 minutes after you turned the power to the car on, ie. turning the key one notch, or starting the engine, so be sure to have your Touch HDs bluetooth on already.
Audi's Bluetooth phone features are on a phone by phone basis, Audi have a list of all the handsets that they have tested and the features that are available using that phone and the firmware for the phone that it needs to produce those results.
I work for Audi so if there's any questions I'll do my best to answer. (I work in parts)
Hi!
I just bought my new, shiny HTC Hero and while my old HTC G1 worked perfectly with my BMW 2006 5-series (contacts sync and all) the Hero doesn't even want to connect. It pairs succesfully (exchanges PIN etc) but then it says 'connecting' for some time and 'paired but not connected' after that. I'm very frustrated about this. Wrote to HTC about this already. Does anyone have the same problem? Or even better - a solution? This is a huge deal-breaker for me as I travel a lot and depend on te built in bmw handsfree
BTW iPhone and Nokia N95 sync also.
Are you sure you don't need to remove the G1 from the BMW's electronic brain before attempting to pair the Hero? It talked fine to my hands free kit.
That was my thought also and I removed all devices from BMW profile except Hero. No use
Normally I check if it pairs with my car before I buy but since G1 worked flawlessly I just assumed that Hero will be the same.
It works perfect on my BMW 1-Series 2008 (iDrive)
I think the Hero uses a new chipset for the Bluetooth, the same one as the TP2. You might need to update the bluetooth in your car to work with a new chipset? I had to do it with a mates Parrot car kit the other day, then it worked fine.
Software update for my car is a cost of 200EUR and there is no guarantee that it will work
I'm dissapointed because my friends iPhone 3GS works without problems. Also new Nokias work correctly.
Where can I confirm that the BT chip is different?
BMW has been known for its BT issues for long time, so it shouldn't come to you as a surprise.
I would probably get a Hero in a few days from now, and have two BMW BT's where I can try. Will let you know.
Regards.
That would be great. Thanks!
I know BMW has issues with BT. Thats why I always check if a phone pairs correctly before I buy it. HTC Hero caught me off-guard because of the G1 (same manufacturer, same operating system).

I own the same car. Works great! Try installing modacos new Rom.
I have a BMW 320D E90 (2006), and my HTC Hero can't connect as well (pairing ok but fail to connect).
Just for information, last year (05/2008) I had to update the whole iDrive system because it crashed (yes a car onboard system can crash !!), so the software version I have is quite recent. I know that the HTC Hero has bugs with bluetooth connectivity (see here : http://code.google.com/p/android/is...5i&colspec=id type status owner summary stars ) so we can hope an update of the phone to fix this issue..
YES!
IT WORKS ON MODACO's NEW ROM!
I'm so happy!

e90 330i 2006, latest idrive fw, not working
Yep, works also with the official rom 2.73.405.5, just tested yesterday in my E90 320D !! (In fact modaco rom is based on this one, so you just need to update your Hero with the new rom and that's it !)
I upgraded my Vodafone HD2 to Rom 1.66 this week and have noticed many improvements, however the phone is now not operating correctly with my Range Rover.
When I select a number to dial from the phone book the radio is not cut off when dialling. The phone shows dialling then connected but neither party can hear each other when the call is connected.
My phone and the car both worked Ok on the Vodafone stock ROM. I have also connected it to a BMW idrive and as previously 1.66 still works for this.
I have now had a response from HTC re this issue. It looks like this is a 1.66 issue that was working on the Vodafone 1.43 ROM. I now cannot make or receive calls in the car!
New Response From [ Richard (UK - Ireland Support (Tech)) ]
Dear customer,
HTC knows about this issue, and we are working to build the hot fix to the bluetooth connection with the car kit. At the moment, HTC does not have any informatiuon when this will be available to download from HTC web site. We recommend to the customers to keep monitoring the web site for future updates.
Best regards,

I think I will wait for a solution rather than going back. 1.66 allows me to compile text messages and emails in under 5 minutes and makes the phone finally usable!
if you find a solution please post it here, because i am desperatly looking for an answer
I am mystified! I drove the Range Rover today for the first time in a month and the phone rang. Call was OK and afterwards made other calls.
Other than delete the call register I can think of nothing else I have changed or done on the HD2 to make this work.

Similar kind of Bluetooth issues on Ford In-Car bluetooth
I have a similar issue with my phone not disconnecting from a call.. (ok not similar but a bluetooth issue nonetheless) with Ford Covers+
seems to be hit or miss whether it disconnects.. i have to literally soft reset the phone and sometimes soft reset my car to get it working again!!
would be interesting when HTC send this FIX out..

well my phone is a Toshiba TG01 so it might not be HTC issue, but WM 6.5
I think I am onto something here:
if the BT is switched on after I start the car, everything works perfect!
the only inconvinience now is switching BT on/off for each jorney (especially annoying during short trips with short stops - to the local shop, post office etc)
Im new to the android system and am having difficulties pairing the Bluetooth of the X10 to my car system (this worked a dream with the X1). I know there are issues with the Bluetooth android 1.6 version but the spec of the phone included A2dp. Any ideas why the car can not pick up the phone were as phones 2-3 yrs older can?
i have bluetooth connection with x10 and carradio. turn on bluetooth, in setting you have turn on the option discovable ... blablabla ... and than search for the radio... and make connection ...
Sent from my X10i using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Cheers for the reply. I managed to sort the issue out. Had to unpair the previous handset from the car. X10 works a dream now ;-)
And in synching your phone to the car all of your contacts get synched as well?
On my BMW BT phone-kit I only get about half of my approx. 600 phone contacts moved over. Anyone know what could be the problem here? The exact same contacts were always 100% glitch-free when synching with my old Rhodium (WM TP2) phone...?
Dialing, answering, speaking to the contacts I actually have in the car works fine, but... there are so many missing!
Cheers/M
In my car the X10 BT stops working after 1 minute according to the issues mentionned here (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3960#makechanges)

I have some contacts missing also.. From names S-Z.. I have no idea why this is .. When i manually dial the number from the car dial the number and name gets recognized. Very strange indeed Must be a limit on how many numbers are available to sync?

that's a good thing to know....

Hi there,
I am planning to buy this very nice phone. However, I own a BMW 1 series (sept 2007) with a factory build in bluetooth carkit (BMW iDrive system) and I was wondering whether this phone will work without any troubles on this carkit. Maybe some of you are using a similar combination. Google and this forum don't give me much information, but maybe that's a good sign?
I hope you can help me!

Well it works on my 525 series yr 2009. Even the names gts displayed on the screen .
Ok thank you!
I think I will give it a try.
I used to have a HTC Blackstone that worked perfectly with my BMW serie 1 and I now switched to the HTC Legend... The phone's great but I had issues with my car...
First I tried connecting it to the carkit (had a long trip to do), it was a bit tricky, and didn't try phonecall...
Then someone called me, the carkit just rang and I couldn't talk in the implemented microphones, neither the speakers didn't link the sound ... I had to stop the car and answer directly on the phone.
Half an hour later, I was using the GPS, listening to the radio, the radio just stopped and then followed all the Idrive system !
It came back few minutes later, as i drove back home...
My car may have issues but I tend to think the phone isn't so innocent about all this...
I have a BMW Series3, and although I can make calls alright, I can see my phonebook, neither does it logs calls...
