I'm a relatively recent TL owner and an even more recent owner of a Ericsson R520m mobile phone, which is bluetooth enabled.

I've gone through the directions to "pair" the phone and the car... both seem to recognize each other. The car remembers my phone under "Phone Setup/List", and the phone remembers my car under "Extras/Bluetooth/Paired Devices".

However, whenever I try to make a call in the TL (e.g., "Call 555-5555") it responds with "No phone". Answering and transferring calls are equally unsuccessful.

Any tips? (aside from get a new phone)

Thanks,

Well... after reading the "everything you ever wanted to know about bluetooth but were afraid to ask" post, I found out that the R520m does not support the hands-free profile, which explains why the two devices will pair but will not actually do anything.

So I traded the R520 in on a Sony Ericsson T68i, which paired and worked immediately in the TL. I'd highly recommend this phone to anybody looking for a BT phone. Since it's a somewhat older model, they can be found relatively inexpensive on e-bay.
