Don't want to stir things up here, but it's an interesting topic for me since I'll get my BT equipped BMW M3 in 2 weeks, and was planning to buy a T610 (next to my P800) since roadlfly BBS said the P800 does not work on a BT equipped M3. The reason given was that a P800 doesn't have a "car" profile. They can 'see' each other (they pair correctly) but then nothing else happens on both sides 
So I'm going to try it out asa I have the new BMW (I currently have a non-BT manual M3 with BMW fixed phone, new M3 is nearly identical but using an SMG gearbox & BT  ) If it doesn't, I'll go get a T610 as carbackup, don't want to sell my P800, love it too much.
With T610 phonebook is displayed on car display etc (so all works as a charm), but only drawback is SMS'es can't be displayed on the car display (the crappy BMW fixed phone does this however) |

Any chance of letting us know for sure weather the P800 works with the BM bluetooth or not?
If it doesnt then I can put that money towards some alloys or something. |

Erm.... the P800 didn't have any  profiles upon release right?? (i don't have one so I'm asking here) That might well be the cause of the problem. I have no idea if newer firmware would add this profile and solve the problem??
Erm.... since obviously no1 knows the answer for sure... you might wanna try and find out from  themselves.....

ok since ur not bothered to look for the thread urself at my-symbian
here is a copy and past
( Obviously the P800 does not work with the BMW bluetooth kit
I and some friends with same car and phone tried it several times, the pairing seems to work in the first place (sucess message, BMW appears in the list of paired devices) but then immediately after that, the communication fails, no further communication possible
A BMW guy told me, that the P800 is missing the "HANDSFREE" bluetooth profile but only offering the "HEADSET" profile which is not sufficient for communication with the BMW bluetooth kit. Can anybody confirm the miss of this profile ? Was it there with the T68i (which worked fine with my BMW's bluetooth kit) ? )

Why not wait a bit and see if the P810 has the Handsfree profile to enable communication with the BMW BT kit? From the posts here, it seems that the BMW BT kit is likely to work with most "normal" phones and the problem lies with the "missing" s/w on the P800. |

Will a software upgrade on the P800 solve the problem? |

No this will not solve the prob since there is no profiles in the update either |

the only hopes I have is that the first P800 vs BMW BT tests were done with R1D, while I haven't seen any tests since R2F came out. I got R2F so I'm certainly gonna try it asa I get my new beast
I'll keep you posted |

I have just heard from BMW today that the BT kit works well with the Nokia 6310i but she wasnt sure if it would work ok with the P800. What she did say was she was going to get me a demo car which had BT fitted for me to try out. So if anyone is interested I will post back here my results hopefully tomorrow or saturday. |

I'm not thinking of buying a car with BT at the moment (may think about this next year for my wife) but I think it would be good to hear which cars have BT kits that work with the P800. Knowing which BT kits support P800 is legitimate information, IMO, for this forum. |

Just thought I would let those of you know who are interested,
The P800 doesnt work with the BMW BT, The T68i does but not the p800.My local dealer will be sending BMW HQ an e-mail to see what they can do about it. |

Nothing can be done about it. there is no profile in the P800 therefore it wont work...maybe this will be possible if in some upgrade for the P, the profiles were added, till then, get a t610 and when the new p810 comes or even p800 upgrade(with profiles), then get it.
