Still can't get my phone to work, does the pairing just fine, but then starts to beep, won't turn off until I turn off the car.... wierd thing is, my husband called while this was going on - and his call came through! Then, when I hung up - it went straight back the beeping!! Any ideas??? Also, if we are having so many problems now, what happens in 3-5 years???? Or really the next time we buy a phone with new technology???? Does anyone know why Hyundai (or if Hyundai) are going to some how figure out how to update the software in the vehicles later? Most cars come with a website where you can go and update your software as needed..... ??????????????????????????????????? I thought this was a great feature in the car, but I haven't been able to use it at all!!!!

It might be time to stop by the Verizon store and have them take a shot at connecting. When everything else works and yours doesn't it's very suspicious. Make sure they try to pair another phone like yours if they can't pair yours. Your phone could be the oddball here.

The problem with the names be reversed. I have an driod x. When my phone book was loaded from my old phone it split into 2 lines and caused the same problem. Thisis how you resolve it.
 
1st line: John
2nd line: Smith
 
Now you put John Smith on the first line and this will resolve the problem.
 
1st line: John Smith

2011 Hyundai Sonata and Motorola Droid X. I too was ignorant of needing to respond and keep the notice requesting permission to upload the data. The other gotcha is that names get reversed from the First - Last order on the Droid X to Last, First when you do call by name from the Sonata.
 
Unfortunately this is just the opposite of how I would want them to be on the phone and the car recognition. Since I only care about a few favorites when calling from the car, I made duplicate entries for them, with first name in the "Family Name" field, and the last name in the "Given Name" field names used by Android.
 
I have not been able to get the Sonata to recognize a name using only one name field, but have not stopped trying either.

I will give it a try, although we have tried about everything imaginable. It appears the contacts will have to be deleted by the dealer since the contacts that are in there now seem to be permanently entrenched. Thanx

My problem is two fold.
 
1. Sometimes it can take 10-15 minutes to connect with my Blackberry.
 
2. Is quite strange, it connects with phones not in the car. I had my Blackberry in the house by the window 15 feet from the car and it connected. I thought maybe it was a one time thing but no. On Sunday when I started the car it connected with my husbands cell, which was in the house 30 feet away.
 
Has anyone had that problem?
 
Or is it just my car?

Bluetooth has a range of 1, 10, or 100 meters or 3.3, 33, or 333 feet depending on which power level is used. I'm reasonably sure that most phones & headsets (which includes cars) are Class 2, which has a 10 meter range.
 
As with WiFi, subtract 10-20% of the range for each wall/barrier the signal has to pass through.
 
So there's no reason why it wouldn't connect to a paired device that's outside the car.

I think we may have figured our situation out. In the contacts on my Blackberry the first name is added on line one and the last name isadded on line 2. What we decided to try, was to put the entire name on the first name line. Such as First Name: Joe Blow and did not make an entry on to the Last Name line on the phone. Worked. I guess more than one way to skin a cat!
