Since I couldn't find any compatibility information on which phones work w/ Pioneers BTB200, lets start our own. Let's keep this forum specific to the following and try to avoid unecessary posts. I'd like to see if any service provider has a phone that covers all the BTB200's features. Here's my example:

 

Service Provider: Verizon Wireless

Phone-SW Version: Samsung SCH-A930 S/W A930.ZC09

Autoconnect: Yes

Basic Function: (Make & Recieve a call, Call History, Preset Memory) Yes, however cannot edit names to preset memory.

Phone Book Transfer: No & does not work with pushing 1 contact at a time either.

Voice Calling: Yes, Seems to work, but phone commands are not ouput through car's speakers

Signal & Battery Strength Indicator: No / No

BT Audio Capable?: Not tested

 

Other Comments: The phone is simple to use and has a scratch resistant cover. It's very durable, I've also recieved some comments on the pager style appearance. The clock LED is always on, big plus - no need to refresh the phone to see what time it is. As far as bluetooth, it does the main functions along with the most important - autoconnect.

That's a UK list. I've also found Denmark, Netherlands and Italy, but no US. Different countries use different phone software/technology.

BT Audio Capable?: Not tested

I stopped by Verizon yesterday and briefly tried 3 more phones.

 

Samsung SCH-U740 & SCH-U620 - both phones worked identically & had the same limitations as the SCH-A930 that's at the top of this post.

 

I also tried the LG VX8600 and I couldn't even pair it. D3 read invalid device.

 

This is frustrating not knowing which phones support all features of the BTB200.

Posted Apr 05, 2007 · 20:54 UTC#7

Tested a couple more phones today:

 

Verizon LG VX5300. This seems to be identical to the VX8300 tested above. It would only pair if I put the phone in discovery mode and the Pioneer searches for the phone. This might be the reason why I couldn't get the 8600 above to work.

 

Also tested a friend's phone briefly:

 

Service Provider: T-Mobile

Phone-SW Version: Samsung T-809

Autoconnect: Not tested

Basic Function: (Make & Recieve a call, Call History, Preset Memory) Yes

Phone Book Transfer: Yes! Both all contacts at once or 1 at a time.

Voice Calling: Not tested

Signal & Battery Strength Indicator: Signal was intermittent / No

BT Audio Capable?: Not tested

 

Well it looks like I'll be getting the Verizon LG VX8300 phone today!

I tried my V3i today:

 

Service Provider: Cingular (AT&T Wireless)

Phone-SW Version: Motorola RAZR V3I

Autoconnect: Yes

Basic Function: (Make & Recieve a call, Call History, Preset Memory)

Phone Book Transfer: YES (It says service not supported)

Voice Calling: YES

Signal & Battery Strength Indicator: Yes / Yes

BT Audio Capable?: Not tested

 

If anyone with the V3I can figure out how to get phonebook entries to work, I'd love to know how. I removed all picture data from the phonebook (the manual says picture data may cause this to not work) and still could not get the phonebook to transfer, either in bulk or one at a time. :(

 

Edit: It does work to transfer phone entries one at a time. I needed to leave the transfer screen up on the D3. Still no bulk transfer.

Here is how i do it. I connect the phone. Then I go to the function menu and select phonebook transfer. This will drop the connection. Then I go into the address book on my phone and find the entry I want to send over. I hit the menu button while viewing the contact info and it brings up a bunch of options, one of them should be 'Send Contact' or 'Send' or something similar to that. I choose that, and it brings up the 'Look for Devices' option. I select that, it finds the bluetooth adaptor, and sends it over. The D3 will say completed in the bar on top. When you do the rest of the contacts, you won't have to look for devices each time, it will already be on the list

whtcrxghst - That worked great. I had to shut off the pictures, and then do what you suggested. The trick seemed to be to leave the phone book transfer screen up on the D3 while I was doing this.

Posted Apr 08, 2007 · 18:20 UTC#14

Service Provider: Verizon Wireless

Phone-SW : LG VX9800 (the V)

Auto conect: Nope

Basic Function: (Make & Recieve a call, Call History, Preset Memory) Yes, however cannot edit names to preset memory.

Phone Book Transfer: No & does not work with pushing 1 contact at a time either.

Voice Calling: Yes, Seems to work, but you cant hear the commands through car's speakers

Signal & Battery Strength Indicator: yes / yes

BT Audio Capable?: Not tested

Cool. I actually didn't have any problems with contacts with photos on mine. Must be another thing that is dependent on the type of phone

Service Provider: Cingular

Phone-SW : Palm Treo750

Auto conect: Yes

Basic Function: (Make & Recieve a call tested. Call logs work.)

Phone Book Transfer: Yes. Can push entire phone book.

Voice Calling: Yes.

Signal & Battery Strength Indicator: yes / yes

BT Audio Capable?: Yes

 

CAVEAT: The Treo does not connect with the CD-BTB200 out of the box. You must download the software from: http://www.jetwaremobile.com and enable all the bluetooth features. If this works for you, the software costs ~$15. Money well spent to enable all the bluetooth features of WM5.

 

EDIT: Voice dialing tested, call logs tested...

Service Provider: Verizon

SW Version:

Auto-Connect: Yes

Basic Function: Yes

Phone Book Transfer: No

Voice Calling: No audible sounds, but sometimes takes the commands

Signal & Battery Strength Indicator: Yes / Yes

BT Audio Capable: Not sure

 

Thanks to Verizon for crippling Bluetooth on their damn phones and their shitty interface. My firmware only supports OBEX and not OPP (object push), so no transferring of contacts.

 

I also can't figure out how to manually add a phone contact in the D3. Is this even possible? Also caller ID doesn't seem to work.

Phone: Motorola L7 (unlocked european version)

Basic Function: Must initiate calls from phone but D3 mic/speakers work

Phone Book Transfer: Only if you push phonebook from phone, one at a time

I can connect manually from phone phone is registered, but phone won't go offhook or dial when controlled from the D3. If I take or place the call from the handset's keypad I can talk handsfree through the D3. Next time I get in the car I have to connect again manually from the handset. Both ends are set to autoconnect.

 

UPDATE: This phone works GREAT after updating the software with some I found at Modmymoto.com (Moto Beauty Update 1). Voice dialing= yes, autoconnect=yes, basic function=yes. No bt audio and contacts must be p ushed one at a time.

Initially the phone was connecting fine but only communicating with partial functionality. I called crutchfield tech support and was told to switch the BUS cable from in to out...and then everything worked. I think they mislabeled the bus connectors on this unit or my phone is whacked.

 

Sound quality is great...mic is amazing - great system...if i could only get my phone book over and text I would be SO happy - but am satisfied now

I have posted this to another thread, but I will post it hear as well...

 

This is a PDF with US phone compatibility and PAIRING and TRANSFER instructions for the D3 and various phones...

 

I found this deep within the bowels of the Pioneer web site...

 

Good luck,
