Bluetooth problem - 171 3 series

Anyone any ideas or hear about this. Before I go back to BMW, it might be a Samsung issue rather than a BMW issue? It has become quite frustrating now as, more often than not, it means that the bluetooth is useless.

BMW will tell you that you are "not using a certified or approved handset so it must be your phone". Have you updated the phone and the car to the latest software version? I know that there are lots of problems recently with Bluetooth and BMW/Mini. There was a recent release that solved a lot of what you're talking about. Download it from the BMW portal to a USB stick and install in the car, also update your phone to latest and greatest. Then cross your fingers!

Thanks Rebel,

I can certainly try as you suggest. If I do, I hope BMW won't invalidate the warranty because I did it myself?

Also, the dealer said that the car has (limited) internet. Can the car not download itself? Sorry, if the questions seem a bit thick but I'm hopeless with technology!!

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated!!
