Hello everyone, I'm new to this site having purchased a 2005 Silverstone II M5 a week or so ago. I have to say i'm absolutely loving the car although taking it very easy at the moment until i get used to having that much power at my disposal!

I do have one issue which I'm hoping you can help me with. I've paired my iphone 4 to the bluetooth system no problem and can access my contact lists and make calls, however while in a call the signal has a lot of interference and a constant clicking sound (sounds a bit like morse code on the line) which makes it very difficult to have a conversation.

I've turned the wifi off on the phone but this hasn't made any difference.

Anything else I should be doing?

I don't think it's a problem with the phone as I had a 3 series on loan while my car was being prepared and I had no problems with the connection in that car. That suggests the problem is with the car, do you think it could be a software issue with the Bluetooth in the car? The 3 series was brand new so would have the latest software.

Dealer is saying that the official BMW line is that the iPhone 4 is not compatible with my car which is not much help.

Just had the idrive software upgraded to see if that resolved my iphone 4 issue but nothing has changed.

Does anyone know the bluetooth phone models that BMW officially support for a 2005 car as I want to test one of those to see if its a bluetooth issue with the car which I 'm starting to believe to be the case.
