Now here is a dilemma, many of you might be having troubles with the IPhone 3G bluetooth echo problem – In BMW and I had the same problem when I went to test drive one yesterday.

There are many BMW drivers out there who are complaining of an echo when they are using their Apple iPhone 3G in the car with the in-car Bluetooth system, yes we found this problem in a 2005 BMW 530d M-Sport Saloon.

I turned on the Bluetooth on the Apple iPhone 3G and paired with the BMW within seconds but the connection kept dropping and no contacts would show up on the BMW’s on-screen display, well after trying a few times with no success I thought I would try the salesman’s BlackBerry Curve and that worked fine. I went back into the car showroom and he showed me that it will only work with certain software as far as I could see. Now I know for a fact it works with the iPhone 2G but it does not work with the 3G which is a pain in the backside if you ask me.

Now I need a phone and if Apple do not sort this problem with a new software update they are on the verge of losing a customer, now I do not wish to give up my much loved iPhone 3G because it is an awesome smartphone, but hey it is cheaper to get rid of the phone than getting rid of the car.

If you are having any of the above problems please let me know, I would love to know your problems and fixes if any please.
