Phone doesn't connect to Bluetooth

when i use the buttons on the wheel, the Bt works ok. most times it doesn t understand the name i am searching, so i usually have to get my phone out and say the number, not a big deal. my issue, if one wants to call it that, is, i am on the phone and bt is turned on on the phone, i get in my car, start it, but it won t switch over to hf, or if i dial my phone, it won t connect to bt, but it will if i say the name or number from scratch, am i doing something wrong or not doing something correctly ?

thanks Al

If i understand your post, you have to use the "transfer" command.

If you are already on the phone and get in your car and start it, push the button on the steering wheel and say "transfer.". It will connect with your phone and operate normally via BT and the mic and speakers in the car. Same is true if you are on the BT in your car and you get to your destination but need to continue the call. Hit the button and say "transfer" and your will be disconnected from the BT and you call can continue normally via your phone.

No problem. You can also try saying "help" and the BT will go through a list of commands and other menus.

NBP is spot on, it took me a little while to figure this out in my 06 TL, I'm ecstatic it has Bluetooth but the spec used in 2006 was an older one. So no music streaming from my phone either, but I'll just get an adapter and do it that way. Car has iSimple adapter already but I've always been an Android guy, my first ipod classic is on the way from EBay though
