I see that there has been a problem with the Palm 600, but I'm having a problem with the Palm Treo 700w. This is the Windows Mobile 5.0 device. I can get it to connect to the AVIC-Z1 via Bluetooth, and I can make a call but then the Bluetooth connection disconnects after about a minute. I think this is a problem with the Palm, because I've been able to get a Nokia to work just fine.

Any ideas on what might be causing the problem?

Thanks,

Terry

the treo and any smart phone using diffrent bluetooth conection (1.2) that could be you problem

I don't know what version of Bluetooth the Treo 700w uses, but are you saying that the AVIC-Z1 will not work with some versions of Bluetooth? I've heard there is a compatability list of phones but I haven't found it. Given how populer the 700w is, it's hard to imagine that the AVIC-Z1 won't work with it. Other than this, I'm pretty happy with the unit but I have to fix this problem somehow.

I think the 700w limitation is palm hardware. Palm in the past with bluetooth has used rather poor implementations of the "bluetooth stack".

The other WM5 devices should not have an issue. Bluetooth is only as good as the drivers that are in use on the phone. I would say that palm may come out with a BT stack fix, like they did for the 650. But I could be way off.

When I get mine fired up and installed, I will do a full test on the PPC-6700/Verizon 6700.

Abybody used a Motorola MPx 220 with it yet, thats what I have and I just ordered the CD-BT1..

Yeah - I had the 700w.... The phone was a POS.

The bluetooth SUCKED. I ditched that phone and went with a 7250 Blackberry. Fixed all my problems

Yeah, I'm gonna have to disagree with Nick on that one- I've had no problems with my 700w nor any complaints. I have not, however received my BT module for the Z1 yet, but even if I have probs, they won't make the 700w a POS.

I have the problem with my Siemens SX66 smart phone.
The unit pairs up when i start the car, but will disconnect after about a minute.

I will re/disconnect several times while driving.
I even tried to call from another phone while it was disconnected and my phone rang, but never automatically connected with the Z1.

Looks like it unpairs when my phone's backlight shuts off (going into standby mode).

I modified the power settings to keep the phone on unless I manually push the sleep button and that seems to keep it connected to the z1.
Too bad it kills the battery even on average length drives.

I envisioned getting into the car, leaving the phone in the holster. Starting the car, pairing it up with the Z1, then disconnecting only when i shut the car off.

Are you guys with Razr's having any problems with random disconnection.

I have the RAZR V3c with the .04P firmware, and unit pairs with z1 with no problem. However, when I try makign a call from the screen, or the voice interface, as soon as it dials, it disconnects the phone. Every once in a while, it will work. But most of teh time it wont. I have tried 2 other blue tooth earpieces, and they all work no problem. I have deleted everything from the phoen profile, and added just teh Z1. Still havign this problm.

ALso, cannot for the luife of me get the phone book to transfer.

Anyone with a RAZR have the same problem?

Hey guys,
I have used my 700W religiously with my avic-z1 0 problems.
I made the mistake of updating the 700W with the palm updater.
No more bluetooth after a few minutes it drops the call.
Now i cant get a phone without the update.

Yeah, I updated my phone about 2 weeks ago. My phone registered, and pairs just fine. But when I try to transefer the phone book, it disconnects. And it will sometimes disconnect in the middle of a phone conversation, for no particular reason. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

I called verizon they sent me a new phone with the update as posted above they said they were going to try to send me a phone without the update. Ill believe it when I see it. Im lost. :x :x

My buddy has a samsung I730 we tried his today with the same car, Same problem after making the call it drops just after a minute.
His phone also has the version of mobile 5 with the "MSFT" or whatever its called where you can direct sync with Exchange 2003. So it looks like either a ND-bt1 problem compatability wise.
Anyone know how to contact pioneer about this?

Seemed to work fine. It seems out IT building is a playground for SmartPhones, Anyways Im not sure whats different but the Motorola Q seems to hang onto the call.

I agree with Nick...I also had the 700W...as I've stated in several posts...and it WAS/IS a Piece of Crap not only for the Bluetooth.

Do yourself a favor and get the xv6700 or get a plain cell phone with bluetooth. Palm has ALWAYS had problems with bluetooth and their signal strength. Since switching to the 6700 I have only had one dropped call where with the 700W and 650 I was dropping about every 3 calls.

I got the bluetooth kit and a treo 650...so far no problems. It connects when I turn the car on and stays connected...no drops.

The treo is a pos btw, never seen a phone reboot before I had that thing..

we had the same problem at my shop. i think the palm shuts the blutooth off to save power. the blue tooth shortens my motorola i870 battery life to about half. i turn it off when i am not in the blue tooth vehicle. jim [email protected]

it shortens everyones battery...and, you should turn bluetooth off when your not using it, otherwise, it's fairly easy for someone to grab your contact info, etc.....that's what happened to Paris Hilton one time.

I turn bluetooth off whenever I'm not using it on my Sprint ppc6700...actually,I have a program called 'phone arlam', which turns it off and on at set times during the day...for example...

at 6am, it turns it on as I get into my car to drive to work....it turns it off at 7am, turns it back on at 12pm for lunch, turns it off after lunch and turns it on at 5pm leavng from work and finally turns it off at 6pm.

i also have the samsung i730 from verizon. I have the saem problems you guys have. it pairs fine, i can transfer address fine. i can send and recieve calls fine but its seems like after anout a minute the z1 drops the connection. The caller is still there but i have to switch to the phone itself. Even the stereo is still muted i just lose the voice. The icon to disconnect is even still there and if i push it the call ends. its just the voice opart that goes away.

I have both phones and the x6700 seems to do better then the 700W but they both disconnect from time to time.. They both use Windows Mobile 5.0 so hardware and all that not really a issue its the software. We write code for our office users and one thing we notice is as on any cell phone the cell looks for a connection IE your girlfriend hangs up your phone will auto disconnect. Same with BT if it loses connection for a second it will have to reconnect. I have tested it and it will return to the call after about 2 minutes... Really strange and it happens more with the Treo 700W

Sorry to tell you but Verizon has a HOLD on Bluetooth, meaning you have to get them to release it or ssomething like that. Go Cingular!!!

I do!!

im not sure what you mean about a "hold on bluetooth", i have had no trouble with any other bluetooth areas with my phone. I never had to call anyone to activate bluetooth.

Yea I am not sure what he is saying about the BT.. its all the same ... I have both phones and Treo's just have poor BT....
