Just to let you know that there is a dealer patch available for those who are having some problems with phone sometime loosing connection to bluetooth. I had problems with my storm which if I did not press on the enter to accept the gps crap, I would not be able to dial out, but would receive calls. If you are at the dealer ask them for the handsfree update.
It works great now.

What year models is this update available for?

I guess it is the 09 TL's. This is what I am driving and had problems with. If you are not having any problems, than I understood that they will not do the update. What happened was that I brought in my car for some service and I asked him if there was any updates avail for the Handsfree. He said there was and that it is only for phones which had problems connecting to the HF. I told him that this was one of my problems, that if I did not hit enter after a specific time of starting the car, the phone would not fully connect. I was only able to accept calls, but no outgoing calls. ( I wrote about this last year) After the upgrade, all work 100% so far.

Good to know. I've been having connectivity issues. I'm headed to my dealer now to have my center console replaced. I'll see about getting this update too.

TLNV

having this same issue as well.. do you have the update info ie: patch name/number etc from the service ticket?

mfield

I would appreciate this info too. If anyone can provide info to identify this update to the local service department, that would be great. I posted about a month ago about a problem with my phone and HFL, and it remains unresolved...maybe something that an update would fix.

Thanks!

Bueller, Bueller? Anyone, Anyone? ***crickets*** does anyone else here know what the exact name of the patch is that the dealer was able to do. I asked the dealership about the HFL update/patch and they know nothing about it nor can they find anything on the system that the techs use.

mfield

I asked HFL support and they didn't know anything either...

I have the same issue. I will ask for the patch in next visit. Thanks for the info.

Sorry for the delay, i am on vacation. Once I get back next week I will ask the service for that information. I am surprised that the dealers do not know about this. I just asked the service guy and he quickly replied with the question of connectivity issue. Since the upgrade, I was trying to duplicate the problem, but no go. This upgrade fixed all my problems. later...

I asked the dealer for the patch no and he gave me this number:

01.001400

Hope it helps.

Thanks

mfield

Thanks very much! Will ask about this next time I'm in for an oil change.

My dealer told me there was not a patch that he was aware of and they ordered me a new unit to be installed? How do they apply the patch mentioned, is it via usb?

thanks

Never asked about how they upgraded it, all I know is that I had some problems before and now all is fine. Now remember that my car is an Dec/09 which maybe had an old revision. Check and see what revision you are at.

igo,
I saw in another thread you had an issue a while ago with the HFL call display not working properly with your BB. Do you still have this issue? I have an 09 FWD Tech and I only get the number displaying on the call display, never the name in the address book that is sync'ed to the car.

wmahmud

Same here - is the screen supposed to show you both the name and the number?

I don't get it, how can a system in 2009 not figure out to put 2 and 2 together and match the number with the name in the address book?
