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!

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.

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

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.

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.

Thanks,

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
