Bluetooth/Mass Pike - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

cpd12345 · 08-21-2007, 09:54 AM

I drive back and forth from CT to Boston once a week, and make a lot of calls on the drive home.

I've noticed that at least 1/2 dozen times during my ride home (if not more), calls just cut off, signal drops to 0, then jumps back up to full strength as soon as I end the call.

Is this a Mass Pike thing, a bluetooth thing, or a crappy Cingular thing? Does anyone else come across this problem?

Thanks

Sounds like a Cingular thing, which is why I switched to T-Mobile. I was having the same problem in Northern NJ and NYC when I had Cingular. Calls would just randomly drop out, but I would notice a very strong signal immediately after the call dropped. Now my calls only drop when the signal is weak and remains weak.

I drop calls all the time on the pike, but I have Nextel(sprint). This happened to me just as much before I got my BMW(with bluetooth) as after.
