Hulign Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Just wanted to let everyone know there's an update for the treo 755p and some are using it for the 700p...I am not running this phone right now but there might be some changes to the bluetooth in the update. If anyone tries it please post your results. From what I read the update might be worth it just for the speed improvements and the SMS changes Frank Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hulign Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Looks like the Ford Sync guys are having luck but it seems to still not work with the Treo/D3 combo.. at least for me..your results may vary. BTW it took over 1/2 hour to do this update so plan ahead! Frank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpatane Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I loaded the update and not only does it not help with the connection, it also screwed up my bluetooth on my phone. I'm running Good Link for my email, ect. I get an message that the bluetooth application is blocked when i try to make my phone "visible". Any ideas on how to get my phone to work again?

kirkelli Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 the rev upgrade for Palm 755P Sprint does nothing to pair with Pioneer. I tried and it messed up my pairing with my Harly Davidson Head unit. The upgrade is a mess, don't do it!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboFredro Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Anybody know if there is anything on the horizon to fix this? I'm still hoping at some point they can figure it out. Looks like the jetware stuff is only for the windows variant of phones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewShockerGuy Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Wow... so sad... If I knew this would not have worked with my Treo 755p I would have never installed the damn thing! ARG! What a pain in the ass. I even did the Treo update from sprint on my 755p and still no good. That really makes me mad.... -Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
copwriter Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I fought this battle with Pioneer, and was told, in essence, "You lose, sucker." The next iteration of the BT interface will be internal (as opposed to an external interface like the CD-BTB200) and Pioneer has no interest in fixing the compatibility problem between Palm OS-based smartphones and the CD-BTB200. My solution was to buy a Palm 700wx off of eBay (about $175), switch my service to it, and install the Jetware Mobile SW. This is an imperfect solution, as you still get limited functionality. Pairing the devices is still a challenge, but it can be done. When I fire up the car, I have to take out the phone, switch off Bluetooth, then switch it back on again. It then communicates with the CD-BTB200 and all is well. However, everytime I get back into the car, I have to do this all over again. I also can't dial through the N3 display, can't store speed dial numbers, and there's no caller ID. But I can answer calls through the N3, and dial calls from the phone while I talk on the interface. I think this is going to be my last Pioneer purchase, though. Their lack of candor about the compatibility issues, and uncaring attitude about trying to provide a remedy has soured me with the company. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewShockerGuy Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Welp, thanks for the replies. I'm not switching phones..lol I love Palm. I guess I will just sell the bluetooth box on ebay. Hell selling I will recoop half the cost of the Avic!..lol I lived this long without having bluetooth in my car so I guess I will just use my headset like I always have................ oh wells... it's definitely a nice feature I just with there was some type of standard where everything would just work...arg.! Thanks yall, -Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hulign Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 My fix was to go with a windows mobile based phone. First the HTC touch and now an HTC Mogul...the mogul is a great phone but still needs jetware to pair with the D3. Once you run Jetware it's all gravy! Even the ringers play thru. Best of luck to all Frank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mkjservices Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Per Pioneer rep ANY windows based phone running WM6 needs jetware which includes palm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
