My11 118tsi: is Bluetooth standard?

[Tigger]

my MY12.5 columbus has the "factory" bluetooth, and it is great.
quite seemless really...

except, when I turn on the ignition, it takes approx 5 seconds before pairing, and that takes a further 5 seconds to actually pair.
so the music etc goes mute, then the pairing happens, then the music comes back...

Is that normal?

Yep, must be. Mine does the same. very annoying.

Sat in a mate's Subaru Outback the other day and the pairing was done within seconds of the ignition being turned on without the radio going off ... and also noticed the sat nav had much more details than mine. Practically all the street names could be seen making it much easier to use in Map mode.
