Bluetooth and Nokia

Lordsxo · Aug 2, 2009, 02:24 AM

So I have the Bluetooth feature in my 09 with the 650W Rocksford Fosgate System, and I have an issue with and my phone, a Nokia E66 (technically identical to the E71). For calls incoming, everything works normally. For outbound it doesn't. When I tell call a stored number or call out the number, it displays properly, but it just sits there with the number on the screen for 5 minutes with out the phone dialing, the phone just sits at the idle screen. In the same situation, the phone will dial the number if I toggle the phone from the general to silent profile and vise versa, but the system/phone gets confused and doesn't route the call to the car, but "Call Active" is displayed. With my old Nokia 6300, everything works fine, as advertised. I know that the simplest resolution is to use the old one, but i would rather not.

Does anyone that has the same phone, or a Nokia E or N series, or any S60 Symbian phone have the same problem? Also, if you do have one of those phones and don't have that issue, please let me know. I'm trying to figure out if I should talk to Nokia or Mitsubishi for help.

Thanks for any info.

Have you stored the phone numbers in your car? or are you calling from the phones phonebook?
I saw that you live in Ontario, CA. Most numbers now need a "1" before the phone number, like 1-905-555-5555.

Try deleting your phone and all numbers from the car and re-entering them into your car using the "1" method listed above. Make sure your numbers match the ones in your phones contact list.

I'm using the cars phone book, and it display 1-519-... so it's not that. The system works with my old phone no problem. I'm thinking that the issue lays along the Bluetooth protocol. Ether the car is sending out something weird that the phone doesn't expect, or the phone should understand something but it isn't.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I have an Nokia E51 phone and never had a problem with it. I always say the name of the person who I need to call, I haven't tried dialing out using a phone number though.

Thanks for the info humblehyper. Looking into the situation further, I see that there are little difference to the phone that you and I have, almost equivilent electronicly.I found out that the E71 isn't compatible eather and that phone is identical to mine so it's not a problem with the phone.I'm a little pissed off about that, maybe Nokia can do something about it because it looks like Mazda uses the same unit.For the rest out there that may be interested, I looked into it more. The Handsfree unit is made by Johnson Controls (http://www.jciblueconnect.com/ There is a compatibility list there). And I don't think that they did a good job with this unit, there are a lot of phones out there that are not compatible. Aparently when Bluetooth is writen on a product there is nothing to say that it has to work at all with other Bluetooth devices at all. I say a big thumbs down to Mitsubishi for not finding a better OEM Bluetooth solution.
