Rubbish bluetooth

I have just purchased a 2013 F30 320i Xdrive and the bluetooth functions are rubbish compared to my 2009 Ford Mondeo.

On the Ford I could get the list of last dialled calls, last incoming calls and all my contacts on the phone option.

I also had voice control for everything.

On the BMW all I can get it a list of contacts and no voice control.

Disappointed is an understatement.

    I have found this with quite a few vehicle makes...Audi being one of the worst.

    The standard Audio / Comms system is outdated as soon as it it new and quite honestly aren't worth the cost to update SatNav or software via disc or download.

    I would personally recommend replacing the standard system with a quality aftermarket system capable of mirroring your phone functions.

    I need to update my profile as it showing my old BMW.

    I'm not sure an aftermarket system is that easy to fit in the F30.
