Connect the phone every time you start the car?

I got my Motorola V330 last Friday and connected the car to the phone without much trouble. But I'm curious: is there any way to get the phone and car to link without going to the phone and selecting the connect function every time I restart the car? I had hoped that the car and phone would recognize each other without any manual activities going forward.

I have the Motorola V551 and set it so that the BT is always ON. Then when I go into the TL, the phone and car connects automatically. I never have to fiddle with the phone. Works very nicely!

Great choice of TL color, btw.

Yeah I have the Motorola V551 as well. The only problem I find with leaving BT on always is that it kills the battery real quick, but that is why I got a car charger so thats not a problem anymore=)

UPSCWRU- I sugguest you get a car charger if you plan to leave BT on. That way you can leave BT on and it will automatically connect everytime you get in your car.

I have a V710, and I choose to keep BT OFF when I'm not using the car.

I've heard of cases of "Blue-jacking", or whatever they're calling it these days. Other Bluetooth devices can theoretically access yours and retrieve your personal info from it. Leaving BT off when not being used eliminates the risk.
