No interference noise before direction was announced on GPS?? When did you collect your car?? Thx

the 'BMW Navigation System' is afterall a Garmin unit whose main purpose is to navigate. the bluetooth function has been abysmal at best as it is not really their area of expertise. So no point really to go PML bang table because it is an outsourced part. Any other garmin unit will not be able to give you the kind of voice quality that a stand-alone bluetooth module can, because of the fact that the microphone in the garmin was added so they can add "bluetooth function" on the brochure. if bluetooth handphone pairing is a must, then opt for the bmw bluetooth module because that is made specifically for this purpose.

Hi, I collected my car this month. It has the professional module with bluetooth. Although portable module is outsourced, I think BMW would have tested it for compatibility?

GPS directions & POS on mine is not crystal clear,
static noise comes on b4 each announcement and
just after. Bluetooth connection is via the GPS unit
which is audible but can be better.

Just to add, I have used my other garmin
as a standalone, no static noise, whatsoever.
Anyone can verify that the bmw garmin
connection is via FM or direct link to car
speakers.

I have the same problem with Tribeca. I think ktnpl dont have this problem as he just collected his car and after so many complaint from owner. We can send back to PML.

Yup, my iDrive has navigation and bluetooth. I will enquire about the portable unit when I meet my service adviser today/tomorrow. He's quite helpful.
