Steering Wheel Phone Button not answering!

This is something new in my 2011 550i -- It happens the first time someone calls in, I press the button to answer via bluetooth on my iphone and it will not pick up, I have to use the idrive controller to answer. The button will hang up just fine, and answer if someone else calls in later in the trip but never the first time. This is my only car that does this, has anyone have a similar problem?

I have a fully loaded 550 M Sport with Nav and I use the current iPhone. I tried repairing the phone to no avail....

I have the same problem, I was told by the dealer that you have to hold in the button for an extra few seconds to make the connection between the car and the phone. I have had some success with this method but not always. Hope this info helps.

Same problem from my side, I read in one of the threads that the latest software update should fix it, downloaded the version but still not installed in my car, once done I let you the outcome.

I have the same problem pairing with a Windows Mobile HTC. Gets a bit annoying.
