Can anyone recommend a basic fone which will work 100% with the X5 b/tooth - and for which a BMW cradle or quality aftermarket unit is available?
(Foolishly got a Nokia 5800 on 2 year contract 18 months ago - will not pair with the X5)

Yes, got a cradle off eBay for 99p about a week ago, it took a couple of attempts to connect to the BMW Bluetooth module first time, but since then it has connected automatically everytime.
It's not 100% because you cannot send texts, but you can make and receive calls and transfer your address book.

Thanks Phill - I may be wrong but I understood you can only ever read texts from the H/Unit - not send 'em !

Nokia 6230i I think from memory, if you need a cradle for a 6230i I have one you can have for the price of postage. Phone it getting on a bit now though, but should get one off eBay. PM me if you need the cradle.

Bolton, Peter Kay. We are supposed to be at Bowness on Windermere tomorrow if that is any help.

Lucky you - lovely over there - I'm the other side of Hardknott and Wrynose
Peter Kay is OK - but too PC - look at Don Rickles on youtube in the Vegas 'roasts' for a real laugh (don't make 'em like that anymore - 'an if they did, he'd be in jail!)
