Bluetooth Signal Loss..get re-connection [cngo68] by toydriver

I've had similar experiences in my '06 IS250AWD and PEBL (Motorola) with T-Mobile. On rare occasions the signal is dropped and so the phone is disconnected. It seems to happen at the same place on the same highway during my commute, so I assume it is a relative "dead zone" for T-Mobile, even though this is in the heart of a large metro area.
 
 You said that you have "tried to re-connect the phone with bluetooth sys, but it fails". Have you tried turning the phone off and back on ?
 
To re-connect I usually have to physically turn off the phone and turn it back on. This way the phone re-pairs to the Bluetooth system in the car. It always works for me. Your method of re-starting the engine will do the same thing (basically a re-boot). However, if you are driving and don't want to pull over, just try the cell-phone off/on.

It would only update the map & POI data. The software is not updated to make the system look or behave like newer systems. That's a pretty old map disc so if you're going to keep the vehicle for a while (and you use the nav system regularly) it might be worth upgrading.

Maps are stored on the DVD itself and used during operation (if you take out the DVD, the system won't work). Maybe the DVD eject mechanism is stuck.

multiple phones by ajmtbm

when multiple bluetooth phones are paired, is it possible to tell the vehicle to automatically pair with any phone it sees, rather than having to go to the screen to choose a phone. example- i have phones a and b paired. i choose phone a to connect. if i get in the car with phone b (phone a not present) it doesnt connect - i have to go to the menu and choose the phone. one would think the system would be intelligent enough to figure this out itself.

You have to choose. It will not automatically search.

Try adjusting your speedometer console lighting. I think if it's at max, it will put the nav into day mode.

anyone know what teh speed tones are?
 
also, when programming a pause into a number, it does nothing. it just dials the number like usual and doesnt send the digits.
 
when programming a wait, during the call you have to hit the 0-9 button and then send the tone. seems kind of odd.
