chriso Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hey folks, Sorry for the new post - but I've searched a bit but wanted to see if there was more up to date information. I've finally applied the 2.0 update and the Blue Tooth update to my F900. After the update I can no longer connect my phone. The F900 cannot find the phone and the BB cannot find the F series when I try to pair the two. Prior to the update everything worked fairly well - phone book transfer, sound quality etc worked well - my only complaint was the long delay on initial connection - lots of connecting and disconnecing messages - after a few minutes connected. I think the issue may be a firmware update on the BB. I'm running the older 4.2.1.96 OS - and I believe 4.5 may be available. Has anyone gone through this pain to figure out the best version of the BB OS to use with the F series? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chriso Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Just an FYI - I've applied the Blackberry OS upgrade to V 4.5.0.110 and that has resolved my issue. And now it works perfectly. At first it didn't connect - but I was able to see that the Avic found the phone and the phone found the Avic - I just had to re-enter the 1111 password - and now it connects right up in about a minute - hopefully it keeps up this performance.

ddonnik17 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 i applied my 4.5.0.110 on my blackberry curve and the f90 still doesn't find my phone nor does my phone find the unit. but i think the bluetooth module in the f90 is broken....or maybe not Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jking45 Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 my 1st generation iphone will not find the receiver either. When i first installed the unit they recognized each other now they wont even find each other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chriso Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 All I can say is hang in there and keep trying - make sure the unit has BT turned on. After my BB patch and the Pioneer BT Patch (the main BT patch not the one for some specific phones) - it has been 100% functional - always connecting in under a minute. Yesterday someone called me just after I started the car, normally I wouldn't answer and wait - then call back, this time I picked up from my phone - started talking - then the BT kicked in and the conversation transfered to the car - it was amazing! Even with my blackberry completely dead on battery - it still connects perfectly. With the old version - if I had 1 bar of battery life - it wouldn't connect. I hope it works out for you.

ddonnik17 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 thank you for all the answers. well regarding my BB and the f90, i just sent my f90 out a few days ago back to the place i purchased it from cuz of that and a few other problems i had with the unit. for some reason my bluetooth never worked and the f90 ALWAYS triggered my passport escort 8500 radar to go off Ka band non stop Quote Link to post Share on other sites
