Problem Answering Call with BTB200

I successfully have my D3 and Motorola v600 paired together and auto-connecting!!! 8)

 

I can make calls FROM the D3 and all that works fine... :D

 

However, the issue occurs when I try and RECEIVE a call through the D3...

 

Say I am listening to the iPod:

 

1) Listing to music

2) D3 rings

3) D3 audio stops

4) D3 switches to BT-TEL

5) I press GREEN PHONE to answer call

6) D3 goes back to iPod and music plays (???)

7) Caller can here music playing but not me talking

 

If I actually switch from iPod to BT-TEL via the menu or SOURCE KNOB it all works...

 

Is this the way it is suppose to work???

 

I would have assumed when I press the GREEN PHONE to answer a call it would stay on BT-TEL until I hang up???

 

Manual is sketchy at best...

 

Also, sort of related, I have noticed that even when the other person hangs up the phone, I still have to press the RED PHONE icon to hang up or the phone stays connected???

 

Is this the way it is suppose to work???

 

Thanks,

Mark

No, it should stay muted until the call is over. And it should hang up by itself when the other caller does and go back to an audio source if you were on one

whtcrxghst is right. When it rings, the iPod mutes and the incoming call screen comes up until you answer it or the call disconnects. Then the music unpauses and unmutes.

 

I'd check your bluetooth module... Maybe it needs to be reset or something?

Cool... Thanks for the confirmation...

 

I think I am going to first try making some changes to the settings on my phone... I think the phone is somehow "overriding" the BT200...

 

If that doesn't work, I will then try pressing the RESET button on the BT200...

 

We'll see...

 

Thanks,

Wanted to follow-up with the latest news on this...

 

I called Crutchfield and the guy (Tim) was super nice... He had me RESET the unit and confirm the BLACK and BLUE IP-Bus cables were correctly installed...

 

He was pretty confident that those were the only two things that could cause something like this...

 

Everything confirmed correctly...

 

After that, he personally called Pioneer and then called me back with the info...

 

Pioneer said that if I can MAKE calls successfully but cannot RECEIVE calls successfully that it must be an actual defective module... They said no installation mess-up would allow it to function half-way correct and half-way incorrect...

 

So, Crutchfield is sending me a new BT module... :D Unfortunately, they are currently out of stock so it migh tbe a little while before I get it... :(

 

I REALLY hope that this fixes it...

 

I just don't want it to be some oddity with my phone or something like that...

 

I'll keep people posted...

 

Thanks,

Mark

I've had no such problems when listening to ipod or sirius.

 

The only glitch I noticed is that if I enter my car during a conversation on the phone I'll lose the ability to hear the caller during autoconnect.

 

However if I manually switch back to the phone screen on the D3 I can hear them again, but now through the car speakers.

 

I've also had a glitch where I was talking in the car, then shut off the engine and it either dropped the call during the BT disconnect process or muted again. Not sure. I'll have to test this again.

 

Anyone else have this? I'm using Verizon LG VX8300 phone.

Yes, once this occurs, if I manually switch back to the BT-TEL screen I can then hear the person through the speakers...

 

Odd...
