I just upgraded with Verizon Wireless but my new phone (sch-u550)disconnects every 3 seconds with my wonderful brand new Avic f90bt. Does anyone know what phones DO work with this unit and can transfer address book entries? I'm not looking to spend $300 on a phone, I just want a decent phone with bluetooth.

My LG Voyager works fine with no problems...i dont know how much they cost now but it works just fine with the BT..

My enV works fine. Even the phonebook download worked.

My wife's LG Chocolate works great, and my Motorola Maxx VE works fine.

I should note I had to have Verizon upgrade the software on the Maxx before the voice recognition would work, but basic calls were fine all along.

Mixed results.

My first Samsung u700 (Gleam) would reboot every few minutes. My wife also has a u700 and the same issue. I took my u700 back and got another u700 under warranty. The new one works without a hitch, including phonebook transfer.

I had to pair the new one from the unit using the a540 option. It found my phone and then I was able to push the phonebook. No issues since then.

I had similar troubles with my verizon phones. I found that my trouble was my contacts were set in categories like family, work, ect. Check your contacts to see if they are assigned a category. If they are then remove ALL of them from categories and it should work ok. For some reason the AVICs have a problem with categories

my dare works great

Odd, mine are in catagories, and it doesn't seem to complain.

I still need to edit the contacts on the AVIC so I know which icon is which number however.

I never thought to connect using a pre-setup ohone in the bluetooth setup. I'll try that first before I go start buying Phones. Thanks everyone.

I have a Motorolla Razr2 V9M. It works fine. The only issue I have is that when I transfer my phone book the Nav unit recognizes every number as a seperate contact. For instance, I have my girlfriends home, cell, and work numbers under her name in my address book but on the Pioneer it shows her name 3 different times yet it doesnt tell me which one is work, which is cell...etc...

Samsung SCH-i760 works fine.

the new LG Dare works good with f90bt.

Does everything and has good bluetooth connection.

my sch-u740 fails miserably, it worked OK with dropped signal every once and a while before the first update. But after the first update it stopped working. When i tried to re-pair it, I could not even do that. I have completely given up on this feature and this lose of functionality makes me regret buying the entire unit, my BOSE head unit bluetooth worked PERFECTLY, this unit blows in its current state. If i had the money i would go copier-officespace-gangsta on this pos unit.

Motorola z6c here

Works well most of the time. It does tend to get a little buggy in the connection. Once in awhile the AVIC will freeze up my phone when trying to connect and the phone will have to reboot once, but the second attempt usually works flawlessly.

there was one time when the phone connected and the AVIC (for some reason) set the phone volume to max and wouldn't display the controls for the phone on the screen. made me worry about blowing speakers and had to reset the phone.

Samsung sch-u740.

Well it works, and it paired, but two very annoying issues.

1) It associated only 1 number for each contact...the Cell number (since that was first?)

2) You adjust call volume via Volume + and - buttons that appear on the touch screen. Problem is, sometimes they don't appear. When a call connects (usually incoming) and the volume controls aren't displayed sometimes the volume is deafening and there's nothing you can do about it without grabbing the phone.

So yeah, it works, but not very well.

My xv6800 aka HTC Mogul works fine other than the phone book transfer issue tons of people are seeing. 1 contact with multiple numbers = 1 icon on AVIC for each number and all icons for that contact have the same name. Pioneer needs of fix that ish. In the video's it says call "John Doe at work, home or cell?". Something like that. What a rip off.

The only way to get around this is to hack the phone book database on the AVIC. Hopefully it'll be in the next patch.

Using a blackberry 8830 with no problems.

Took about 8 failed attempts to set it up but when it finally connected it worked great. Only real problem I have is I have 600+ contacts and the f900 bt only takes 400.

Ill live

Haha

My Motorola ROKR and my wifes LG Vu both work. They are also both obnoxiously loud with no way of bringing the volume to an acceptable level that won't make your ears bleed.

My Motorola V750 works great, Treo 700wx doesn't... Disconnects and reconnects constantly.

My AT&T Tilt half works. Pairs just fine and transfers the contact over (separate one for each number) but the VR won't work with it. Whenever I try the F90BT says I missed that or please say name or number over again. VR dialing using just numbers works fine. Tried 4 different windows 6.1 roms with no luck. Also I can never hear it ring and miss it when someone answers sometimes. Really starting to piss me off since the phones worked flawlessly with about 10 other BT devices including 2 other car systems. The F series has some problems that have to be addressed.

My BB Pearl has worked great from the very beginning. Every once in a while there is a slight glitch, but nothing that is much of a big deal. Overall, I am very happy with how it works with my F90BT!
