is it the vx8500 or vx8550 chocolate?

did you prep the avic first? it should disconnect from the phone, then you go to the bluetooth menu, make sure you highlight the AVIC THEN press options > send name card. i know tis there!

go to the bluetooth menu on the phone, highlight the avic, hit options, and then "send name card"

the PAC SWI interface modules will only let you do basic audio functions...didnt see anything indicating that it would let you control any other buttons. you can use the bluetooth buttons for audio functions, such as mute and such, but you cant use the "answer" button to answer calls on the AVIC.

when do you think we will know whats new/different in the z3?

try this: on the nav phone menu: "read bus card" (and then the connection disconnects) On the blackberry go to the bluetooth menu, highlight the nav device name, press the menu button, scroll down to transfer phonebook and follow logical steps Does that work? Abe

Hey guys! Im brand new to this forum! Looking forward to it! Anyway, a little history. I own a company that specializes in Bluetooth integration for Lexus. I will be testing various Verizon phones and posting results for you guys on how they work with the Avic Z2 im about to order. Question for you.. Most people mount the GPS antenna either on the dash or somewhere near it. Reading the install guide, they recommend it be OUTSIDE the car. Some have gotten away with installing it under the dash. So we have varying degrees of line of sight. From totally hidden under the dash, to
