Activating car phone in BMW E39 540 UK - which network?
...he he, I have the same problem - got a 1998 540i 3 weeks back, bought an O2 sim card, phone insists that I "check the card"! Any ideas anyone? I assume that unless the phone recognises the card, I cannot register it by dialing 450..... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- bimmerbob Message Origin: TRAVEL.com |

Sounds like you are locked to a particular network.

Th eBMW system is a fixed setup and the phone were either eriksson or motorola on 900Mhz??? or something like that. Ther is a bluetooth conversion available for the car - ask your dealer or go to bmwoem.co.uk - or do a google search for bme-bluetooth. I have seen a US site but I know parrot do something that works. -- Sir Hugh of Bognor The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.
