Imate SP5m works with BMW 3 Series Coupe

[Guest duncan888]

Just for reference, I've tried the Imate SP5m in my BMW 3 Series Coupe with the bluetooth telephone and it works. Numbers come up on the radio display, can also be controlled to make calls with steering wheel, and sound quality is excellent.

What year is your BMW, and what Bluetooth system do you use? I have a 2002 3-series and am looking for a BT kit that works with the steering wheel controls, and have just ordered an SP5m.

Thats right, stamp on us all ;) I'm not jealous :) I've always had a thing for 3 series, my favourite of the BMW range. Anyway, thanks for verifying :)

What mode does the SP5 bluetooth have to be in? Discoverable? On? I managed to pair my car with the phone, but it would not connect afterwards...

Or perhaps did it take long to connect the first time? Maybe it's downloading the entire phonebook...?

Nevermind works perfectly now, almost. Somehow, it displays some old SMSs which I presume are stored on my SIM card, and don't come up on the phone!

Also nice to see that leaving Bluetooth on doesn't really affect battery life!

heh

a 3 series coupe must be the ultimate sp5 phone-accessory. or is that the other way round?
