Weird iDrive Phone Icons Near Signal Strength

GG_The_Fly · 04-05-2006, 10:03 PM

Hey All-

Couldn't find anything in a search. Today, while driving home from DC, for the first time, a small white solid downward arrow appeared to the left of my signal strength icon and then went away. Also, later a phone icon appeared and I have never seen either of these before.

Any idea what these are - couldn't find a key in the manual - either the iDrive E90 manual or the bluetooth manual.

The operation was otherwise normal. Thanks for you help!

The "downward arrow" is supposed to mean your phone is roaming, although it's not always correct. The phone icon is supposed to mean your phone is reporting a missed call.

Thanks for the info! Just out of curiosity -- where did you find this out?
