Not sure if this is relevant to this topic but My Audi dealer (I own an A3 2.5 Quattro) installed as approved by Audi as he said the Parrot ck3100, that is completely integrated with the multifunction steering wheel, my radio-cd and the car's information screen in the dashboard. It works perfectly with my P990i (full phonebook automatic synchro, voice dialing, radio mute and I can also send my mp3's to my radio-cd through the bluetooth kit itself) The quality when streaming mp3's is crap (mono sound) but it;s nice to know you can do that as well. Needless to say that the parrot's price was less than half of the pre-installed Audi BT kit, that des not support all the aforementioned features. The latest firmware update of parrot even has a special menu for the P-series phones.

have now my P990i
tested on my M5 april 06 production:
IT DOES NOT WORK
- you cannot call from car (just immediately says "Call Ended" and does not store any dialed number in iDrive)
- does not transfer phonebook (just empty despite even sending phonebook manually over to BMW)
- cannot hang up incoming call (just does not cut out when you push iDrive button on hangup option)
- steering wheel phonebutton has absolutely no effect whenever pushed
otherwise, well, it does allow incoming calls and, if initiated from phone, allows also outgoing ones, but none of them can be hung up by the BMW... total rubbish implementation again.
tried all possible settings on phone (not many anyway), firmware is latest avail for P990.
Thank you SE for ignoring your customer base who was already complaining since the P800 that you should get your act together and make sure your top model works with OEM BT carkits.
Again they did completely ignore this call, and added a line in the manual stating you should only use SE BT carkits. All Txxx, Kxxx, Mxxx and Wxxx series work, but the 'for professionals' Pxxx series keep their reputation of being virtually useless with some OEM BT carkits, incredible but true.
No more Sony-Ericsson for me... I am fed up by this.

just now noticed it sometimes drops outgoing calls even if initiated from the p990
and if there is a second call, the system goes mute and there is nothing you can do but hang up the active call and reject the 2nd incoming to unblock your phone!

In the UK it is illegal to make telephone calls whilst driving if you actualy have to touch the phone to initiate the call or to answer the call.

I have a 2006 Audi A4, bluetooth enabled, and my p990i is able to pair with the car but drops the connection after less than a minute. When it makes the connection initially I am able to make/receive calls, using the steering wheel buttons, etc. but the connection drops every time.
I am assuming from these posts that there is nothing that can be done to remedy this? Help! I previously used Blackberry and Treo without a problem at all and I'm terribly frustrated with the p990...

sorry but if some cars work perfectly with the phonebook upload function on the p990i and with calls, how can it absolutely definately be the fault with the phone in your case?

because other phones work perfectly with the same car!
BMW uses as most others Visteon BT boxes, and these adhere to the Siemens handsfree profile, and seemingly the P-series do NOT support this profile, only the SE/Nokia compatible one. Most other SE phones support both profiles, thus work fine, but since the P800 came out, handsfree BT connections in BMW and other brands is a total mess, and SE/Symbian just can't do their homework correctly it seems...extremely frustrating, so I am back with my T630 for car usage, that one works perfect.
