Bluetooth w/Blackberry Torch?

tcesar888 · 08-24-2011, 01:00 AM

Hello All!

I have a '10 M3 (basic elec. stereo package) with bluetooth. I paired my Blackberry Torch and it seems to work fine. HOWEVER, when I go to listen to my voice mail messages, it does not play through the bluetooth connection. Has anyone experienced this? To hear them in my car, I have to change the settings on the phone and listen to them through the speakerphone instead. I have deleted and re-paired the phone multiple times with no luck. Not a deal breaker, but its irritating...

Any thoughts? Buy a new phone?

Thanks,

Tom

Are you listening through the VVM? If so that's probably your problem.

I checked my voicemail today thru my bluetooth and it worked fine. Just pushed 1 on my phone to dial it the it came up like it should and played like any other call.

Thanks for the test and feedback. Maybe it's time to get a new phone!

Mahalo!

The Torch isn't supposed to work with the Bimmers. Be careful, if a BMW tech sees that a Torch is attached to your car, they can strip your tech warranty. The Torch isn't an authorized phone. http://www.bmwusa.com/Standard/Conte...hframedin.aspx
