Does anybody else here have to manually pair the phone and connect to HFL everytime they get into the car? Is there a way to just keep it connected automatically, instead of doing it when u first get in the car or realize it's not paired and have to pull over to do so... and do u also have to add the entire phone list 1 by 1?

 

No, you shouldn't have to pair each time. Maybe double check that your cell phone has the bluetooth "on" all the time.

I did have to add phone names and numbers to the list one by one. I have a Verizon Treo 700 WX and it still wouldn't transfer the phone book. So I just put names and numbers in that are important into the car's phone book. It takes a few minutes, but hey....

 

Once I pair mine, I don't have to do it again. As long as I leave my phone in Bluetooth visible mode(make sure your phone is set to visible), it automatically connects to my car when I get into the vehicle.

As for addng the phone list, i believe you do have to add them 1 by 1 since you need to assign a name for each contact.
