I was going to suggest trying JETware, but it's even better that you got it to work without. Thanks.

Good luck with the man bag .

If you're talking about something other than a Windows Mobile phone, I would go with an Android phone. The Droid is kind of an ugly phone, but it's a beast from what I've been told. Again, if it was me, that's what I'd probably do.

Good to hear you're making progress. It's some weird stuff, but progress none the less. I wonder if there are more things you can do to the Bluetooth settings to "trim down" what's going on? More things you can disable and try. Keep us updated.

I'm still thinking phone. Are you a Verizon customer? If so, you know that you can buy any phone and return it with-in 30 days and get a complete refund (even get your calling plan reverted if you had changed it). You can't do that and exchange it for another phone for free, but if you just return it, it would be like you never bought it. If you're in the market, I would consider buying another phone. I love my Touch Pro2 now that it has Windows Phone (Windows Mobile 6.5) and I have it working so great with my AVIC unit. Not saying I won't continue to try and help you resolve your issue,

Agreed

4 - 5 seconds!?!? That's not normal. You should be able to adjust that setting. I thought my old Touch Pro has the ability to do something like never, 1 minute, 1 hour, always. Check the Bluetooth settings.

Don't do it simultaneously. Put the phone in discovery mode and wait about 10 seconds before you have the AVIC unit search for it.

With the other phones you've tried in the past, did you have the same symptom where they couldn't be searched for from the AVIC unit? Also, do you make your phone discoverable before you try to search from the AVIC? Thanks.

I think slvrdrgn123 is correct about the stacks. These hacks probably won't help you at all. I'm very curious about how you're pairing the devices. I have had different results depending on how I did the initial pairing. Sometimes, if I had the AVIC unit do the searching for the phone, it would work differently than if I have the phone search for the AVIC unit. How are you getting yours paired up? Thanks.

So every single one of those phones, after you setup the relationship between the phone and the AVIC unit, for there on out, once they try to pair, the AVIC unit reboots? Or is it when you try to setup the relationship the first time that it takes place? Thanks.

Um, wow. Seeing as how you've had two different AVIC units and identical results when pairing (if I read your post correctly), I would say that it's definitely your phone. If it was me, I'd delete the profiles for each device from each of the other devices, do a hard reset on the phone, then apply the registry changes and try it all again. If that still fails, I cannot hurt to try the zip file cause you can always do another hard reset on the phone to restore it back. To be honest, my best guess is there is something seriously up with your phone and it may be time for an upgrade. Hope thi

Is it time to mark this thread solved?

When you first got it, did you have the Touch Pro2 or did you have another phone that you had paired up to it? If so, did the AVIC do the same thing with that other phone? Thanks.

That's weird. It should switch you to the map screen and then popup the box with the Call, Reject, and Volume Keys. I wonder, what firmware version the AVIC unit is running?
