09 version Camry (no nav) with trio 700P, same problem. Hours on phone with Palm tech support confirms that the two "bluetooths" are not compatable. They acknowledge the problem has been known for a year and will not comment on whether there will be a software update or if anyone is even working on a fix. I'm back to an earbud bluetooth connect, While we think we are in the savy Tech age, we are still in the wild, wild west. With no international standards, we the consumer are promised the world, then left to fend on our own. Funny thing is, I have an 08 Solary with NAv, and the Palm site says it is not supported but it works just fine. Go figure!

Oh well, I guess I'll be back to an earbud too. Thanks for your reply.

Good News, I got it to work. Somewhere here (thank you) it said when waiting for the car to acknowledge the passcode, find the connect from the cell phone menu. I did, it worked and the Palm Treo 700P is now paired. Amazing how Palm doesn't know their product. I still cannot get the cell phone to transfer numbers from it to the phone but at least I can speed dial from the dash or cell phone and use blue tooth. Now does anybody know how to program a pause or wait from the manual input?

LG Dare and Camry 2007 Bluetooth Help! by mccobalt
Dec 23, 2008 (6:12 pm)

I have a 2007 Camry Hybrid (with the navigation system) that I've used with my bluetooth LG (8300 I think) phone for almost two years. I just "upgraded" to the LG Dare and it won't sync. When the phone goes to discover the car it comes up with Unknown Device instead of "Hands Free." Digging into the phone I see that it actually has the hardware address of the car... but it just won't finish the sync operation. Verizon blames Toyota. Toyota says the car blue tooth is working fine and it is compatible with the LG Dare so it must be the phone. I love the phone but I really (really) love the blue tooth car capabilities. Can anybody help?
 
Thanks,

new lg doesn't stay synced by marciak

I have the lg 8300, my 3rd replacement, and this one doesn't keep the bluetooth sync. When a call comes, in the bluetooth transfers back to the phone (without my doing anything) but then I can't get the phone to accept the call. I also cannot make any calls while the bluetooth is connected. I really don't want to go to verizon for a 4th replacement. I have the 2007 camry without nav. Any ideas? Hope this forum is still monitored...

Toyota's Bluetooth is a JOKE by lgazzana

When I first got my 07 Camry, the bluetooth worked famously with my lg chocolate flip. Then over the course of 6 months it slowly started to not work reliably. Its reliability just deteriorated to a point that it was unbearable and UNACCEPTABLE.
 
I went to my Toyota dealer and they told me it was my phone or verizon. I told them I was using the same phone. They pretty much told me that as long as it kinda works...they wont fix it. Im like...if my steering wheel kinda works from time to time your NOT going to fix it? No of course not. To me its a load of crap, and Im still waiting to hear from toyota.
 
So Lets cut to last July when I got my Iphone and moved to ATT, then of course I still got crappy bluetooth suck from my camry unit but now I got the iphone echo. which isnt their issue. So i took the car back in and demanding some kind of correction. And actually sympathized this time but had to stand their ground. They gave me the number to Toyota dirctly...which on account of the holidays and sheer frustration havent been brave enough to battle that next windmill.
 
I believe that this practice to refuse to fix it even with a bumper to bumper warranty its just ridiculous.
 
Im so glad I found this forum...now I am motivated again to get this rectified. Will let you all know something as soon as I do.

Who has found a good cell phone to work with their Camry bluetooth? by Christine111
Jan 22, 2009 (9:13 pm)

Hey all, I think we all can agree that getting bluetooth to work well is a crap shoot at best. imho, if u are considering buying a camry, skip the bluetooth option and then have it installed aftermarket. My local shop could have provided SUPPORTED bluetooth with display, gps, and on-star-esque service for half the price I paid for factory installed bluetooth.
 
The compatibility chart is nice but it isn't even half the story. For those of us who are stuck w factory installed bluetooth, who can recommend a good phone? (a reliable unit that connects easily, where listener and caller sound very good,) Cell provider and model please & thank you.

I'm not alone... by deadpool

Currently have an 08 Camry LE
 
Add me to the list of frustrated users with the Toyota Bluetooth system. I currently have a Blackberry Storm 9530 on the Verizon network. Echoes...check, 'you sound so far away'...check...the callers break up on me (although my signal strength is excellent)...check. Just frustrating.
 
Prior to this I had a Blackberry 8820 with T-Mobile which wasn't perfect but I could carry on a fluid conversation without any drama. The only problem with the T-Mobile unit is that it wouldn't transfer the address book...but neither does my Storm
 
Overall the Verizon gives me much better service which is why I dropped tmobile, but it would be nice to use a feature you have paid for in a car and not have to find an alternative.
 
My alternative is a jawbone bluetooth ear unit. Clear conversation (even with all the windows down and sunroof open) and good battery life. Downside is it' not the most comfortable thing but I've gotten used to it.

What am I doing wrong! by james1169

I had a LG something for the past 2 years with no problems with my bluetooth on my 2007 Camry with nav. Now I have a enV3 (Verizon) and after an hour of following the crappy instructions in both manuals, I cannot get the phone to pair with the car. How do I get the car to "discover" the phone? How do I change the address from my old phone to the new one? I don't remember it being this difficult the first time? HELP!
