Treo 650 works ok, but you cannot dial with the system only phone. Sometimes the speakers do not output the voice, but you can just dial again and get it.

 

I used to have a problem where I could set up the pair with my Motorola Q, but then it would not re-pair up after I shut off the car and turned the car back on.

Turns out at the same time, my Voice Recognition Button didn't work. Once the dealer fixed that my Motorola Q paired perfectly. Phone worked great, address book worked great.

Then a week later I got the Verizon Motorola Q9M, thinking, it's not a major upgrade. Well, phone still pairs, but I get no address book.

 

BludyL,
Thanks for the information regarding the Q. I still have the original Q and was considering moving to the Q9M. I guess I will wait on that.

I had not tried pairing because I did not want to mess up my contacts. Time to pair away!

 

My Samsung SGH-D900 will connect every time I start the car, but once I make or receive a call it will only work for a few minutes (never more than 5) before it drops. Once it drops it will not reconnect until the car has been turned off and then back on. This makes me very sad. I have not contacted my dealer yet concerning this, but I really hope that they can fix it!

 

I've been using a SonyEricsson w810 since April, and it has worked flawlessly. I also paired the phone with a demo car at the dealership before I ordered mine, just to check if it worked ok

Verizon LG VX5300 works fine so far.

 

I had the problem with pairing on my Q until I figured out the quirk. In order to recognize the phone without going through a pairing. I enable my BT on the Q then try and use the BT on my R56, it fails to repsond but establishes connectivity from that point forward. It isn't like my Acura as it auto recognizes the phone when you install the key into the ignition, but hey the MCS is much more phone to drive.

 

Somewhere on here is a procedure to check, and move, the bluetooth mic if need be. Some cars have the mic installed on the passenger side of the car, which can make a big difference since it's a directional mic. Oops.

Not sure exactly where to find it, but it's on here somewhere. Not too technical nor difficult. Mine was on the correct side, but I was ready to move it.

I just synched up the SonyEricsson W580i to my 2007 MINI Cooper S w/ Navigation. So far, everything works great including the address book. Very easy setup. By the way, I like the phone, too.

Here's a review of the phone:

Do yourselves a favor, go out and get the Samsung Blackjack. It is the best phone made today (strongest cell service signal), has TONS of features, and best of all, the new version of OS (WM6) works 100% with the Mini.

 

Just paired a bunch of Sony Ericsson phones with the Bluetooth in our new R56 MINI and they all worked great (including the address book sync and voice recognition of address book names). Here's the ones I tried:

K750i
W800i
W810a
M600i (UIQ3)
W950i (UIQ3)

The coolest thing is that the MINI's Bluetooth kit allows you to prioritize the phones you've synced with it. It will attempt to connect to the phone that is highest on the priority list first and then move on down the list until it finds a phone to connect with. We have the nav system in our MINI and so all of this is done via the onboard monitor.

 

I went out and got an iPhone 2 weeks ago on the recommendation of some of you here in this thread and others. Two days ago I received my Mini (Yeah!) and the two work together quite nicely. You do need to update to the latest firmware version (1.1.1) for the iPhone though in order to see your address book names in the Mini's address book.

 

Sweet! I might have to upgrade now!

 

Well it now looks like I spoke too soon. The iPhone (v 1.1.1) does work with the Mini bluetooth but though I can voice dial using "Dial by Number" I cannot "Dial by Name". The Mini says that the Address Book is empty.

 

You could drop the cover on the ceiling and see if the microphone is on the passenger or driver side.

See this thread,

For the record, my Motorola V551 only works half way. Receiving calls works perfectly. Dialing does not work. It drops the bluetooth connection to the phone as soon as it begins to dial. Then it reconnects to the phone, but the phone and/or car doesn't bring the call through. The call is not heard on the phone itself either.

The phone book is imported correctly and voice dialing works (without any voice dialing numbers setup on the phone), but the call doesn't go through the car's system once it starts to dial.

 

I have a Verizon Treo 700p. The phone works great via BT and the sound quality is good on both ends. The only problem is that the phone book doesn't transfer over.

 

Both have paired and sync'd fine...

 

IPhone works great with the mini

 

Motorola Razr V3 I just got works fine. Address book copies over and can voice dial any listing in the address book without any prior setup.

Armrest cradle on the way!

 

I have that setup also and it works great! Where are you getting the armrest cradle for the Razr????

 

Has anyone paired a Motorola W385?

 

From my dealer.

There is this website, which someone else posted a link to saying it works in the Mini just fine.

Adding it to the shopping cart and viewing gives you a part number (84210415023). Putting that in Pelican Parts shows it as a special order item for $140.

Has anyone attempted to pair the Motorola Razr V3xx or the KRZR K1 with MINI?
