R56 Bluetooth -- got it working
Bluetooth -- got it working
Wanted to drop a quick note to let y'all know I got my phone (Nokia 6682) paired with the MINI.
My problem was that my phone will ignore pairing seeks. So what I had to do was initiate the search from the MINI headunit, then tell my phone to go search for new pairable devices. The phone found the MINI, the MINI asked me to enter a passcode, then the phone asked me to enter that passcode, and I was paired. My phone then asked if I wanted to allow the MINI to make connections automatically, which I agreed to.
Now, if the phone is on and I haven't turned off Bluetooth to conserve the battery, just by getting into the car the MINI will act as the microphone and speakers automatically. I can even have the radio on, and once the call goes through, the audio switches to phone, and then back to the radio when the call is over.
It didn't download the phone book, I think because I have all my contacts in phone memory, not the SIM memory, but that's not a big deal, and I've only played with it for 5-10 minutes after getting it paired up.
