I heard that a regular Motorola v60 cellphone can be used in the new 5 series as a replacement for the BMWcellphone, which is $600 and essentially a v60 phone with a BMW logo on it. My dealer said that I cannot use my regular v60, b/c the BMW phone has a "chip" in it, and that my regular v60 without the "chip" will not work. Does anyone know if this is true?

In Germany, I was at the dealership about the same thing. Right now there are only 3 different types of phones that you can use. 1Nokia, 1 Siemans and 1 Sony. I will find out the exact model numbers and post them for you. The phones have to be Blutooth capable, whatever that means. I just know that anyone of these three phones is about half the price of the BMW phone and they are said to work better. Dealership talking.
oh..if the phones have to be bluetooth (short range wireless capable - which means you can connect your phone to your car without wires), then i think amango you're out. verizon doesn't currently carry a bluetooth capable phone. they will shortly (hopefully end of this month or next month - motorola's V710 & v810)
