Samsung A900 pairing
I've seen from some archived posts that some people have gotten this to work. I bought an A900 today, and can pair it with my 2006 RL. Everything seems to work during the pairing process, but when I try to make a call my RL tells me that "No phones can be found".
The Acura shows up in the phone's list of paired Bluetooth devices, and of course Bluetooth is turned on. I tried a software update on the phone but the phone says there are none available (i.e. I have the latest).
Any ideas?

That phone just doesn't work with the RL. It's sad, because it's a great phone... but Samsung's implementation of the BT "standard" (how can it be a standard if they're all freakin' different???!??) doesn't play nice with Acura.
In the week I had one, I managed to get the phone to pair and make calls but it wouldn't hang up, and I couldn't answer an incoming call. Made it pretty worthless.
It's also not Macintosh iSync compatible, either, so I sadly wound up taking it back to Sprint.

That's exactly where I am now: I can make calls, but cannot hang up and cannot answer an incoming call.
You'd think the Bluetooth spec would be solid enough now so that something as trivial as a Hands Free link would work reliably across any device that implemented the spec, wouldn't you?

Apparently the Korean makers' phones are generally deficient in their Bluetooth implementations.
I can tell you that they aren't present in the Bluetooth standards meetings and regular test gatherings ... hmm, just a hunch ... maybe that has something to do with Bluetooth not working well on their phones.

A standard ought to be a standard, period. Let's hope that wireless USB does better....
