[Si T]

Will a Sony Ericsson W810i work with the bluetooth phone on a 2005 M3?

As long as it's Bluetooth is should be fine. I have a Nokia E61 and it works a treat, just get in the car, it detects it and away you go.

This sodding built in phone kit is doing my head in.

Why oh why did the orig owner not get the bluetooth

The Sony's are a bit flaky with the BMW Bluetooth, seems they often drop out and the handset restarts. Main problem is that it pairs, all appears to be working properly, you make a call and on the 750i it immediately transfers the call to the handset.on the V630i it makes the call but there is no sound or voice on either handset or Car, then the Bluetooth drops out, reset it and it works OK untill the next time!. I have an 800i I will be trying tomorrow.

On the 750i I had to update the phones firmware to get it to pair properly

I also find it depends on which generation of BMW Bluetooth is in the car.

For example our E92 3 Series will work with 2 of our Nokias and a Balackberry.

In the X5 you can only use on the Nokia's.

I've found its a complete black art.

Our X3 - both Nokias, no problem. Sus' RAZR, no problem. Yet, according to the BMW Bluetooth list, 2 out of 3 of our phones will not work?

And...the X5 we had as a courtesy car recently - RAZR worked, yet both Nokias it had a problem with - including a "I'll pair with anything Bluetooth" Nokia 6310i.

My advice is to try it, but you have to follow the instructions to the letter.

Sorry I can't be more specific. There seems to be no rhyme or reason.

Is it for the old Motorola V50? If so, it works well with that phone, but only with that phone. I used to have one of these in an old M3 and just put another SIM in it and diverted my main phone to it.

Yes.. my problem is not with the kit, but with the Motorola, i now have to use it all the time as my business phone, and i hate it .. really hate it.

I want to go back to my Nokia 6310

I'm thinking a parrot bluetooth kit is the only way to go

Unfortunately not, on the 1 series I briefly had my T39 didn't work, however the K750 worked fine.

The K800i is working in my E91 OK at the moment!
