It was a pain getting things working. You can read all about it in a lame tutorial that I wrote up here http://www.jetwaremobile.com/ but I know nothing of it, just read that it is the fix for Palm Treo's etc running Windows.

Cheers

OOps. Update. I had to tweak the settings on my LG VX8600 but I can now use Voice Calling. I still don't have any audio or confirmation beeps over the speakers but it works. Here are settings that I now have on my phone

Im curious on if anybody has done the phonebook tranfer wit the LG Shine VX8700??? If so do tell...

LOL. Poor Kryngle. Brutha I have been reading of your pains on this forum. As you can read above I have the VX8600 and I have looked at the manual for the 8700 and they are almost identical. You have a couple more options than I do but.....this can be done.

The most important thing is that YOU MUST BE IN THE PHONEBOOK TRANSFER SCREEN.

At the AVIC: At your BT phone screen hit the hard button MENU --> FUNCTION soft key --> PHONEBOOK TRANSFER. If you can't choose it make sure your parking brake is set.

Now go to your VX8700

PHONE: Now, this is direct from your manual. Press OK [MENU], press navigation key (down to select SETTINGS & TOOLS and press OK. Press #3 (Bluetooth Menu). I realize you are probably painfully aware of how to get there by now but it does not hurt to state what may be obvious just in case. Highlight the "Pioneer BT Unit 2" and select OPTIONS.

Hopefully you will see something like SEND NAME CARD. If that is the case then when you hit that it will take you to your contact list and you can "mark" one contact and then send it. You will have to do it one at a time but at least you are getting them over there. Have patience. Once you are done you will notice that your phone is no longer paired with the BTB. I don't know why this happens but you can just do a direct connect afterwards.

I really hope this works for you since it seems you have had this problem all month long.

Peace.

Maaaaaaaaan it is painin me BIG TIME but here is an update and possible the problem. I called up Telus and they told me they have blocked the option to send VIA Bluetooth and I aksed em why and they said "Security reasons" I was like WTF. now it look like Im a have to cry until I can find away to install this crap proper. I am like the only sucka who has no luck on here. Im so pissed

Other Comments: The Razr works great as a phone but the Bluetooth functionality is severely impaired by Verizon. To wit, there is limited support for OPP which allows phonebook transfer from the phone to the D3. It must be done one at a time by pushing from the phone. Most irritating though is that after pairing the phone with the D3 (and registering) the phone connects to the D3. However, with the phone's BT power on, each time the D3 is started up the phone ask whether to grant permission to pair with the D3 - i.e. no true auto-connect. I decided to flash the phone's firmware from Verizon to Alltel (see howardforums.com for details and process). The user interface on the phone is much improved and most importantly, it now auto connects.

_

I have not flashed over to Alltel on my V3m yet. Which firmware update works the best with the D3? Not having it auto connect drives me nuts!

Has anyone tried with a Verizon Razr V8m? I am thinking about buying that phone but having it work with the D3 is a MUST!

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,

Thank you for the download. I have a Motorola L7 SLVR and am about to give it a try.

bump. I am trying to figure out which Verizon phone to get as my upgrade.

Has anyone tried to sync up a Palm Centro to the D3?

Blackberry 8830 > *

Has anyone tried Verizon's Samsung Gleam?

I was just at the Verizon store. We tried using the LG VX8350 and it would pair up fine. I also registered it and I could check the call log but no phone book. Once I turned off my car and turned it back on it would not auto pair.

Question**

Even if the phone does not auto pair shouldn't it be listed on the list of phones I have registered? Because I have not seen a phone save in my list after I turn off my car....

I've read that some poeple have successfully connected the Pearl 8100 to the BTB200 with v4.2. I have Verizons new Pearl 8130(just an updated pearl) with v4.3. Has anyone here tried to connect the two or should I just assume that it works since the 8100 Pearl works. I know the phones are identicle with minor cosmetic changes and a few new features.

And insight?

I think there is something wrong with my Avic or BT adaptor because not even my friend's at&t blackberry pearl will auto connect. Nothing saves in the list of registered devices on my D3. Help please!?

My first question would be if you are completely registering the phone? Once your phone is connected to the BTB and at the Phone Register screen do you press and hold the user #1 field until your phone name populates it? And I also suggest hitting BACK and not ESC afterwards.

And as far as The auto connect problem, I think it is directly related to the phone registry but there are only two things I can think of once you get the phone registered. At the same Function screen as Phone Register is the AUTO CONNECT set to ON? I know, stupid question but it does not hurt to ask. One other thing is that on my phone there is an option in the BT menu, when Pioneer BT Unit 2 is highlighted for INCOMING SECURITY where I have choices to either 1. Always Ask or 2. Always Connect.

But after all that if your phone does not stay registered in position one I would say that the BTB is having a problem. Try a couple other phones? My wife's Verizon Blackberry 8830WE had no problems pairing, registering, and transferring the whole phonebook at once

Yes, I even read the instruction book on how to connect it, lol. I held the button it will connect. I can even turn the phone off then back on and will then reconnect. The problem is not until I power off the D3 and turn it back on it does not remember any phones on the list. Everything else is remembered such as radio presets.

As far as the phone yes I tried every type of connection the Verizon phone had. We sat in the car of a half an hour. Plus a friend AT&T Blackberry Pearl connects to just about anything. We had no problem connecting it, registering it, powering the phone off and back it reconnected auto. But, when I turned the car off and 20mins later got back in, NOTHING :'( I am thinking there is something wrong with the adaptor, the install, or the D3 itself.

p.s. thanks for ur response.

Does your wifes BB 8830 run the same OS system as the BB 8130? What version OS is she running on that phone and do you think the BTB200 will run the 8130. Just curious...

NOTE: This is edited in order to clarify some possible misleading info that I originally posted.

Does your wifes BB 8830 run the same OS system as the BB 8130? What version OS is she running on that phone and do you think the BTB200 will run the 8130. Just curious...

The wife's phone is V4.2.2.176, platform 3.0.0.79.

From looking online the Telus 8130 is running the new v4.3.x.xxx. But I can't tell from the other providers.

From what I saw from other forums the new OS adds new functions to applications and purtied it all up a bit. I can't imagine that it would effect the functionality with the BTB. I think one of the main things people seem to miss is that bluetooth v.1 or v.1.01 did not have certain profiles like Object Push or Hands Free, etc. or it did not work that well if it was there. With older phones like mine a person would have to flash their phone to the newer OS that would include the BT V.1.02. So that is why I think the OS question is asked alot and is sort of misleading and usually has to do with older phones. As long as you have the hands free profile you should be able to pair and with the BB it has a separate "Address Book Transfer" option to set (=all entries). Otherwise most other non-smart phones have to have the object push. All the required profiles should be available on all newer phones that will have v.1.02 BT, unless the service provider has crippled it which I am not sure about that because I kept reading how Verizon cripples their BT functionality but I got it to work. That may have been true say 14 months ago or so (and there are threads that old) but I don't think it is true today. It is just not a particularly easy thing to do to pair and get functionality with the BTB because the BTB seems to be very finicky and the manual not very clear or instructive.

I have read on this forum that the 8100 works fine and if you have an 8130 with OS v.4.2 you have nothing to worry about and I also don't think you would have anything to worry about with v.4.3. Making it all work is another thing altogether.

Yeah I'm running v4.3 on my phone.

But I'm running BT v1.1. Where do I go to have that system updated? I may just go ahead and take the plung. I've set my phone to all the settings the 8100 series poeple have. Another question I have is if theres an auto connect option on the phones or just the BTB200?

im thinking about getting a voyager...if anyone has one, can you fill out the template as far as the functionality of the features?

thanks

 

The problem is not until I power off the D3 and turn it back on it does not remember any phones on the list. Everything else is remembered such as radio presets.

 

I am thinking there is something wrong with the adaptor, the install, or the D3 itself.

OK, here's my take. Probably not the D3. I am not a master installer and had my D3 and BTB-200 installed, ahem, professionaly. My disclaimer is that I know nothing of how the units are powered. But it sounds like the BTB is connected to an incorrect type of power supply. One that completely shuts off the unit when you turn off the ignition thus wiping out the memory. Or there is some other minor power wire not connected. What I am getting at is that the D3 remembers radio presets, EQ settings, etc. even if you turn the ignition off and that is because there is another wire supplying a constant power for those minor memory things, or at least there is some way that it gets power after the ignition is off. There has got to be something similar for the BTB. Either there is such a wire and it is not connected correctly or at all or the BTB is bad or... So in the end I think your problem resides in the install.

I would suggest you start another post in the troubleshooting thread with this problem. That's where the installer dudes tend to hang out and I am willing to bet one of them can help you out.

i just got the d3 and want to tell everybody that the t-mobile sidekick LX is very compatible with the bluetooth. no problems what so ever!
