Blackberry 9900 not compatible with F30
I've been having this problem with my steering wheel control button where they fail to work intermittently, volume, phone, voice control, cruise control... all no respond...
Dealer tried reprogramming the car and works well for a week or two then it start all over again... I've seem to isolate the issue to the fact that because I paired a Blackberry 9900 with the car, and there seems to be a lot of "data exchange" going on between the phone & the head unit. Anyone else having this problem? No issue with the steering wheel button when I pair with iPhone 4S. |

Check your Bluetooth software version.

I'm using BB 9900 and have had no problems. The dealer set it up for me when I picked up the car and it has been connecting on its own evertime I get in with no problems when using it.

Receiving call, making call, data streaming (live & internet), office (SMS/Email), everything is working well... what is not working is my steering control. I isolate the problem to the fact that the steering control work as they should when the BB is not paired (as main phone) |

First try new BB software, If that doesn't work I would make sure dealer has performed 3/2013 software update to your car. If that doesn't help, then ask them to look further (as in try swapping Combox).

Buy him a little gift and attach a nice note.

I still think you should try sweet first and ask nicely. Explain to him that your phone doesn't work in your car!

Already tried asking nicely, and got ignored (he told me to do it myself via the BB Desktop app, which obviously doesn't work since the handset is locked by Admin)
