Skylaw,

When I bought my '07 S550 my Motorola MPx220 was successfully paired with and worked well with the BT system in the car. Last week the MPx220 died a horrible death and I now have a MotoRAZR v.9 which I cannot get to work with the car's BT system.
The real problem is being an old person and all, I'm not all that savvy when it comes to electronics. I went through the pairing routine and the car shows the phone as being authorized however the COMAND system shows the phone as off when I tried using it to place a call.

Q 1, Did I pair them wrong?
Q 2, Is there a way to update the car's firmware outside of the dealership's seeming ignorant/indifferent gadget guru?

Any help / advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,

PSK

PS: I have been searching for a site like this since I got the car. The BMW's I have are/were all enjoyed with the help of communities such as this and now I'm a happy camper having found you folks.
