Weigh In: Who has a phone to recommend for Toyota Camry by Christine111

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.

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.

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.

phone disconnects seconds after call starts by canuck378

I have a 2008 TCH to which I have paired a Blackberry 8800. Worked flawlessly until I recently added an LG TE365. Bluetooth is now cutting calls shortly after they begin (whether I initiate or I receive). I deleted the LG profile, but the problem persists. I've also adjusted the volume down but that hasn't solved the disconnect.

Bluetooth Call Waiting by mwbcat
Oct 12, 2009 (10:01 am)
Reply
Plz help! I have an 09 Hybrid - everything is great with the car except the call waiting on the bluetooth. When I am talking to someone and a call comes in, both calls are dropped. I cannot find the settings to make sure call waiting is on. My phone works great away from the car.It is only this one thing that doesn't work right. Am I missing something really easy to fix? If so, how do I do it?
Thanks!
