No text message chime?
How do you get the text chime to sound thru your speakers or on your phone when connected to Bluetooth. When it's connected it doesn't chime on the speakers or the phone doesn't sound it only vibrates. The only way it does chime is if I'm streaming music from my phone to the speakers but If I'm listening to the sat radio or cd no phone sounds come thru the speakers (besides incoming calls).

Yeah this has always bothered me too.
It boils down to two unfortunate design decisions BMW made: 1. There is no pause/stop button in the car to control audio playback (Bluetooth or otherwise). Instead BMW has combined both pause/stop and mute into the same button (volume control knob press). This means that to pause/stop playback on your phone you also mute the whole audio system, so no other sounds come through either. 2. Sounds from Bluetooth source only come through if Bluetooth audio is selected as the current audio source in the car. If it's not, then nothing from the phone comes will be audible. But the phone still knows it's connected to a Bluetooth device, and so will happily play any sounds there instead of through the phone builtin speakers. So stupidly designed... |
