#106 of 119 Bluetooth transmission garbled except for Motorola by KWM019 Nov 25, 2008 (9:54 am)
Verizon service, 2007 TCH. With both a Casio and a brand-new LG enV2, transmission breaks up, nobody can understand what I'm saying, even with Auto climate turned completely off, etc. A Motorola Krave worked splendidly, but I hated the touch-screen and the phone itself was a lemon. Anybody else have maker-specific issues? I haven't found another Motorola thru Verizon that I care to own and would really like to keep the LG enV2, without having to go to a separate headset.

My wife has a 2008 TCH, and an enV2. Bluetooth has worked perfectly since day one. In fact, I was originally surprised at how good it sounded. I don't have an answer for you, but just wanted to relate that I doubt it's the enV2. It's always possible that you have a dud I suppose.

Replying to: markchurch (Nov 09, 2008 11:41 am) I have the same problem. It is ambient noise in the cabin. Shut the air, windows and stop the car and the problems vanish. Use a Bluetooth on your ear. Toyota would have to reposition the microphone to correct the problem. That is not likely. I am sure that they could fix the problem electronically with real-time background noise removal, but that is expensive at this point. But complain to them or this will not be fixed. Toyota I am sure would want to fix this.
#109 of 119 Re: problems to transfer phone book to car [cmeisel] by punkleg Jan 01, 2009 (7:41 pm)
Replying to: cmeisel (Jul 12, 2007 9:54 pm) OK, so I just bought a 2009 Camry Hybrid for $1300 under invoice at Dublin Toyota in Northern CA and really like the car. I tried connecting my LG Voyager (Verizon) phone today and uploading my entire address book of 244 contacts and finally figured it out. I couldn't find any solution on this Forum to I want to share mine:   1) First thing you have to do is Pair the Phone with the Car which was pretty straightforward. 2) I then tried a call and found it worked great so now wanted to transfer all me phone numbers from the phone to the car. This is where I got stuck. I called Verizon and they are usually great but had no clue on this one and passed the buck to Toyota of course. As it's New Year's Day Toyota was not open so I did some surfing and cobbled together this solution. 3) When you go into the Bluetooth menu on the Camry Hybrid Nav system there is an option to "transfer phonebook." When you click it you see "transferring data" but then the Bluetooth DISCONNECTS. So I thought there was a problem with the phone or the Camry because it keeps disconnecting in the middle of this. Turns out this is the desired procedure. 4) So when the Camry says transferring and you see the Voyager (or your phone) disconnect from Bluetooth that is good. Now here is the answer. 5) Go To "Settings and Tools" on the LG Voyager 6) Select "Bluetooth Menu" 7) Click on the "Camry Device" which comes across as "HANDS FREE" unless you change it to "Camry" like I did because I also have a Motorola Bluetooth T505 Visor Speaker in my wife's car. 8) Click "Optioins" at the bottom of the Voyager screen while "Camry" is the selected device. 9) Click "Send Name Card" and then the Voyager will search for the Camry Bluetooth and reconnect and show you all your contacts. 10) Within my Contacts list on the Voyager I click "Options" and click "Mark All" and then send all the contacts from the Voyager to the Camry. 11) It took about 15 seconds to transfer 244 contacts and now they are all safe and ready to go in the Camry. Real nice process but not that intuitive to figure out. 12) As far as maintenance goes I think I will only update contacts in my phone and maybe once a week transfer all thos contacts to the Camry.   Hope this helps someone!
#110 of 119 Weigh In: Who has a phone to recommend for Toyota Camry by Christine111 Jan 22, 2009 (9:08 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. Replies to this message: aldelfino (Jan 23, 2009 12:57 pm)

Sorry, I've never had a problem with the OEM bluetooth on any of my 3 priuses, or my wife's 2 hybrid camrys. Motorola phones of all types, blackberry pearls, curves. TMobile and Verizon.   I'm just talking about pairing, connecting, and call quality. No problems.   I have never tried to import my contacts, though. I've just entered the 5 or 6 that I call the most. for others, I just dial from the phone's contact list.

Replying to: Christine111 (Jan 22, 2009 9:08 pm) Dear Christine111:   Could you share the brand name of   "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."   I would like to pursue that.   Thanks,   aldelfino

#115 of 119 Re: Blue Tooth Blues.... [amaresh] by alfredcb Jun 13, 2009 (8:45 pm)
Replying to: amaresh (Sep 29, 2006 2:27 pm) My apologies to Dwight for using his thread to post my problem, but they are related:   I recently bought an '07 TCH and am trying to get my Samsung phone (with ATT) to work with hands free bluetooth.   When I turn on bluetooth it directs me through the "pairing process" I say and confirm a name. Then it shows a passkey number and says it is searching for passkey. And this is the farthest I get.   * I have tried to dial the passkey # *I have tried to dial a number in hopes it would pair with my phone. *I have tried to ask for "help" through this phase, with no success.   Since it is a used car, I wonder is bluetooth trying to find the previous owner's phone?   I would love to initialize and start from scratch, but I cannot find a way to get around the "pairing" exercise.   In connecting this phone to other bluetooth devices, my phone has usually phond such devices with no problem. But it doesn't seem to find this system.   I sure hope I am doing something idiotic and can be steered into the right direction.   Please help this frustrated new owner.
