I'm starting this thread cause there seems to be an awefull lot of phones that do not work properly with the F Series. Mine specifically is a Verizon Treo 700WX, the blue tooth is intermitant at best, sometimes it doesn't recognize the phone at all, even when I manually try to reconnect it comes up no phones are near. My system came already from the manufaturer upgraded with 2.0.

If you have a phone that works or doesn't work, please post the carrier, the phone model, and whether it works perfectly, works intermitantly, or doesnt work at all, also note wheterh you are upgraded to 2.0 or not.

This is not a thread for answers on correcting the problem, but merely to identify those phones that work and don't work.

Thanks,

Don

don't just look, if you're here its a good bet that you have the F series system and a blue tooth phone, so let your fellow users know if your phone does or doesn't the phone work with the F Series?

Good to go. I have gotten a couple of call failed instances since my install 2 days ago but for the most part its great

got a blackberry pearl, motorol krzr, and a choclate v2 that all work fine

F90BT

LG ENV works perfect. Connects in seconds and no issues with the 90 or 700 series I had originally.

This phone actually connects to the truck in the garage while upstairs charging at the far end of the house!

Motorola W385 and F90BT with no problems, other than it's use (or use of anything) is a little iffy for a few minutes after each boot up.

F90BT

SonyEricsson Z750a. Works great.

BlackBerry 8800 (AT&T) and Motorola Razr V3C (Verizon) both work great. Although, I was careful with firmware updates on the Razr to maintain BT OBEX support; if you weren't as cautious, you may have problems since Verizon removed OBEX supports in one of the intermediary firmware updates; the key was to skip the one that removed it.

Version 2.0 hacked with iphone 3G 2.2 also hacked. All features work well.

I think there should be a disclaimer that says don't blame your phone or the unit if your not able to read, follow directions or know how to troubleshoot.

Iphone 3g, works fine, except very low voice pickup on the bluetooth mic.

this is great information

My 3G works fine as well (I have an F90), but the voice dial is a bit iffy. I can't say "Call [insert name here]." I can only voice dial by using the actual phone number, i.e. "Call 555-555-1342." Something I'm missing?

Did you transfer the contacts, and under the contacts menu, do you say exactly what is listed? Example if it says mom and there are 3 numbers, mobile, home work. YOu need to say call, mom, work.

On the other hand if its John smith, and tis listed as smith, john, you need to say that.

first name last name can be reversed wit the iphone based on the contact sort settings, you have to set this before you transfer.

Also if you add or modify those contacts in your phone, you have to retransfer them from scratch, they don't update via the phone on its own.

Yeah, I did all that. The contacts are all there, and I can dial them through the contacts menu. But when I try to use voice dial to call a contact, all the voice on the other end ever says is something about not being able to find any recent calls. If I just voice dial a number, it works fine, so it's not a problem with the mic or anything. It's just sort of weird.

On a related note, for those with iPhones, when you receive a call does the AVIC tell you which contact it's from or just show you the incoming number? All I get is the incoming number, even if it is associated with a contact.

This is dependant on if you use the phone to call via out using the handset to make the call directly but its still linked via bluetooth, get an incoming call, say the number via voice recognition or say the contact via voice recognition.

I've even see it where it will say the previously dailed number on the current call.

I have seen it say just the number, name if its called out via voice contacts, incoming call tends to just say the number, not the name even if its in the system.

I woulud have to take notes to see exactly waht it does for each method but i've never found the pattern.

Verizon Blackberry 8830 and F-700BT with 2.0 installed.

Works fine at times. Sometimes after a call, I end it with the end button on the phone. The head unit doesn't disconnect and acts like the call is still active. The screen freezes and only the volume knob works. The only way to get out of this is to turn off the ignition to turn the radio off, then back on.

thats a good observation, mine does the same thing, but I found that if I leave it alone for a few minutes it goes away on its own. Just in case I always make sure that the actual phone has ended the call.

I have the same issue so it appears this is a system glitch and common with most phones. I make sure to end the call myself. Doing that releases the system back to normal in a couple of seconds. If the party on the other end hangs up first I get the system freeze and wait for about a minute for things to return to normal. Really a pain. Hopefully Pioneer is aware and taking steps to solve the problem

As far as everything else is concerned I get flawless perfromance as I stated in my earlier post with the ENV. Wife has a Kenwood system in her car and the F90 does a much better job IMO with bluetooth.

Motorola Z9, with an AVIC-F700BT, on AT&T.

All functions work well, EXCEPT transferring the phone book from the phone to the unit. Phone numbers transfer, but I get the "Multiple John Smith entries without knowing which entry is for home/work/mobile" bug. Voice dialing by contact name also doesn't work.

I have the F900BT, it shows the contact name when receiving a call

I have the F900BT with the 2.0 update, and just got a new Motorola Q9C from Verizon a month ago. Can get the ENTIRE phone book to transfer over ONLY if I have the persons firstname and lastname in that order..in the phones firstname field. (NOTHING in the last name field). Also, no special characters, spaces, dashes, etc. In short, I ended up simply manually editing the file on the PC.

The Q connects within a minute of booting up, but the phone itself then is non-responsive/EXTREMELY sluggish for about 4 minutes. After that, all works fine, exept once or twice a week the connection from the AVIC to the Q will just drop for no reason during the middle of a phone call.

ASUS P750 (Windows Mobile 6) and F90BT with 2.0 firmware

So far everything is working flawlessly.

Hi All, I spent some time playing with the in store demo but couldn't get the F900bt to "find" by iphone 2G by bluetooth and the same goes from my iphone to the F900bt.

Suggestions & feedback please?

I've tried leaving mine alone, but in the times that it's done it, it never "unfroze".
