I have an '08 M35x (replaces my '06) and it seems as though the new audio system (this is the standard system as opposed to the $2000+ Bose/Nav upgrade) has some major problems. I have been to the dealership several times with regards to the radio problem but not the Bluetooth problem (tomorrow). Anyway, sometimes on my first use of the car in the morning, when I go to the FM stations, the RDS signal does not pick up and, possibly as a result, when I try to change stations, the actual station changes but, on the display, it remains stuck on the initial station. I can toggle up and down to other stations but the display remains. Any similar problems out there?
As far as the Bluetooth goes, the audio on the '08 seems better thanks to the mic above the driver. However, I am constantly losing the Bluetooth signal and, as a result, the call seems to either mute out or shows "BT disconnected" on my BlackBerry Curve (T-Mobile). 20 seconds later, the call shows again on my display and I can now continue the call (the call timer starts at 0:00 again). The caller always tells me that they lost me for the past 20 seconds. I am a Sales Manager with T-Mobile so I know that the device is paired properly (I've re-paired it several times) and is compatible since my '06 had no problems (other than overall sound quality).
Any help?
Thanks
