i have a 2008 335i with built in bluetooth and for some reason, i cant get the voice command to work with my contact list. for example, i will say dial "x" and it keeps saying enter number. anyone else having this problem? thanks

I rarely use the voice commands. I just scroll through my contacts through the head unit.

Voice commands dont work like that w/ the bmw unit. You have to add each entry into the system. When they are in there you say "Name" after the beep and it asks who you want to call, then you say the name you added and it dials.

So if you want to use voice commands, you say "add name" after the beep and follow the instructions. When your done the proper command is "save"

Mine works perfectly with my iPhone 3G. I say Dial So and so and it confirms that I want to dial that person, I say yes and it dials..

Voice commands (bmw bluetooth) depend on whether you have idrive or not. They are different for each system.

Yep, as long as you have iDrive it works perfectly without having to save any voice contacts to the vehicle first.
