#66 of 70 Re: Bluetooth Ring [esp6952] by tboom13 Jun 18, 2008 (10:18 am)
Replying to: esp6952 (Jun 18, 2008 10:11 am) Thanks for the info. I will give it a try. Yes she likes the bluetooth, but we will agree that some people have a hard time hearing her on it. Since I talk to her alot when she is on it, I can notice that some days it is great, and others it is hard to understand her. Now that you mention it, it does sound a little bit like her being underwater. Again, it isn't all the time. I'm thinking there is some interference from the car that is causing this. So far I can't nail the cause. If I figure something out I will post it on the board. Once again thanks.
#67 of 70 bluetooth pairing by tireguy Jun 30, 2008 (5:38 am)
I have a Samsung smart phone which had no proble pairing. Call clarity is just fine on both ends. I haven't figured out how to easily pair the phone when I first get in the vehicle. I guess I need to read the manual a little more carefully. So far I've had to go into settings (the vehicle's) and then select my phone, then talk. With my bluetooth earpiece, all I need to do is flip the mic and the phone instantly pairs. The in-car system will be better for long trips (over 1/2 hour) but otherwise, I'll probably just continue to use my earpiece for instant convenience.   As far as the navigation system, my wife bought me a Garmin Nuvi 250 for christmas last year. I immediately exchanged it for a Nuvi 200, which has identical operation and costs far less. You can buy them now for about $160. I can't imagine what a $2500 nav system can do that my Garmin can't, other than talk to me with a little more detail. Plus I didn't have to remove the kick-butt 6 disc JBL stereo. I also use the Google Maps feature on my smartphone while driving. I'll typically keep the phone on a larger map scale, for general orientation, then use the Garmin for street-level turn-by-turn directions. If they offered a nav system which would allow me to create a route using either points on the map or coordinates, an interface which was simple enough to complete a 500 mile route in under a minute, fuel burn rates and status at each waypoint, options of six different map scales plus satellite imagery, upload a threat database (highway patrol), and most importantly, couple the driver controls to the route so I can sit back and let the car drive me home, I'd consider it. That's what the nav system does in my work vehicle, a V-22 Ospey. Guess that's the difference between spending $30,000 and $100,000,000. Replies to this message: tonypony (Jul 11, 2008 2:59 pm)
#68 of 70 Pairing Samsung A-437 to Rav4 by tonypony Jul 11, 2008 (2:59 pm)
Replying to: tireguy (Jun 30, 2008 5:38 am) We're having trouble pairing our cell to our RAV4 Bluetooth. It has paired but then loses the pairing when the car is restarted. It has made calls but now doesn't. Toyota.letstalk.com says our Samsung model is incompatible with the RAV4 Bluetooth. Any suggestions out there?
#70 of 70 QYAT vs QZAT packages by tedbell Nov 10, 2009 (7:20 am)
Would like both NAV and bluetooth on a 2010 RAV4 limited, but it seems they are mutually exclusive with these option packages? Is it possible to get both? If not, we'll get the package with Bluetooth and add a portable NAV.
