Snyc blackberry with e90

JM330xi · 02-26-2010, 09:14 AM

Has anyoen had any issues with syncing the blackberry with the e90? I bought a CPO, do you need to have something activated to use it or is it built in? I try to pair it with my phone but its not recognizing the bmw.

My BB9700 works fine.

JM330xi · 02-26-2010, 09:26 AM

You dont need anything activated or installed from the dealer do you? This is driving me nuts.

Does your e90 even have bluetooth? Not trying to be a smartass, just asking a valid question.

My BB Tour works. I can't access the address book, since it is not approve, but other than that...

My Bold works just fine.

Anyone know if the Tour has Address Book functionality with a 2010 BMW?

My three Tours (2 Sprint, 1 VZW) work fine on my '09. It has no trouble aquiring the addressbook on any of them.

I was guilty of being this dumb

I believe the BT feature was an option. If you have idrive go into the Navigation controls and see if you have BT in the menu and if it is enabled. It is possible that your vehicle was not equipped.

I've had two BB's (Tour Verizon, and 8700 Tmobile). Both worked flawlessly with the BMW system.

I found that sometimes waiting at the Address Book screen with the downloading message doesn't help. Exit out of the Address Book and come back in a bit and it might show up then. I had to do this the first time I sync'd my 2010 328i.

Since it is not approved? What does that mean?

And WHY do you have three? Ballin'

I'm not going to point out that my BB works just fine because that has nothing to do with answering the OP's question

Usually Bluetooth is offered in conjunction with the Nav, and you'd have to go into your phone and activate the Bluetooth function so it is discoverable by the BMW. Or activate it in the car and vice versa. You choose the password to enter into the phone, and put that same password into the BMW's system so they can sync. Once it is done once, it is not required to do so again (should you elect for the car to recognize the phone upon entering, which is most convenient). This is perhaps the easiest way (I found it to be). Just make sure both Bluetooth in your phone and car are simultaneously active

You ever figure it out OP?

My office Tour, my Tour and my wife's Tour. That's in addition to the AT&T and T-Mobile office cell phones, my pager and my Iridium. Luckily iGo has tips for all the phones so I just need one charger.
