it is disgusting SE doesn't listen to customers who have $$$ (and who buy top range Pxx models) NOT to support BMW/Lexus/Audi etc BT solutions for hi-end cars (calling without handsfree kit is forbidden in most EU countries now) and their eternal reply "it works fine with SE carkits" is totally bollocks. The OEM kits from car manufacturers is fully integrated, controlling from steering wheel, voice control, phonebook browsing on GPS screen, SMS on GPSscreen, cradle with car antenna, colour leds indicating roaming or not and no ugly cables or stuck-on modules... works great with SE T/K/W series and Nokias, Siemens & Motorolas...but NOT the SE P series!
Me too I wrote them about this nonsense and they said they never tested it on BMW so it 'may' not work... yeah sure. Their cheapo models work, their topmodels don't - go figure...
If a P990 still does NOT do it, I will abandon SE altogether. I know a lot of BMW owners who sold their SE P series because of this, doesn't this ring a bell at SE???
I used to have 2 mobiles, 1 for car & 1 to carry, but it was a mess, so I sold the car one and kept the P910, but it fails most of the time to work (sometimes - 30% - it works! but phonebook does not work - it gets transferred ok but then it gets masked since the P910 doesn't send its ID to the car, making the car believe the stored phonebook is not associated with the paired phone!). It is extremely frustrating to be honest...

I understand where you're coming from dirkies, but on the flip side I had a mate here who got a BMW with one of their carkits installed as well. His
didn't work well with it either, but the response he got was 2 fold,
customer support gave the standard answer that they can only garauntee it with their carkits (fair enough I think) but then he called BMW and after alot of calling and going through to people was eventually told they hadn't really bothered to check
handsets either.
So whose fault is it?
for not testing other peoples carkits? Or the other manufacturer for not testing
phones?

I just got a reply from SE on P990i and BMW BT after sending them a lenghty mail explaining the issue and the absence of logic not willing/being able to support P series in BMW and other (expensive) carbrands while it's the public who drive such cars who need such phones... esp if the cheapo phones work fine and their flagship phones screw up royally, while still pretending they are 'fully' BT compliant...
answer:
they don't know if R&D tested it this time (while their previous excuse was always they didn't)! They have forwarded my request to R&D (yeah sure) but tell me to wait a while for a definitive answer, somewhat until the P990i is released (!!!no joke, the guy wrote that)
So I guess it's not gonna work again...

While reseaching an article on cars with in-built BT carkits, I found that BT carkits are available on selected Acura models with the HandsFreeLink stereo, BMW 5, 6, X series, Chrysler Grand Cherokee 4WD (called UConnect), every 2005 Jaguar, Toyota Prius and some Lexus models.
BMW NZ are aware that several late model
phones don't work with thier BT system and therefore stock some older compatible models such as Z600.
My K700 would pair, then disconnect because a call wasn't active causing the BMW 5 Series to re-establish a connection which the K7 would then disconnect a few seconds later. The constant ding ding ding got on my nerves and effectively locked up the phone making it unresponsive to the keys.
Z600 behaved perfectly and transfered phonebook with no problems.
BTW, I spoke with a person from Honda NZ who said that they have no plans to include the Acura HandsFreeLink system in the Honda specification.
@pikey 100
Those Clarion Stereos are odinary headunits with a bluetooth adapter.
It's a makeshift system, you're better off with a HCB-700, believe me.

Update on the Qtek 9100.
Although I hear people fine in my car people are complaining about how they hear me, it is distorting and it seems like I am far away. It has the same sound quality as my P910i had in the 50% of times it worked. I am trying to find out if there is any update that addresses this problem, if not I will try a I-mate K-Jam, same phone but with more updates.
