To delete the bluetooth connection and start from scratch, the car and phone have to recognize each other correct?? I cannot even get the car to recognize the phone.? When I Find a Device in phone, it states no device found.? Any suggestions.? My Treo 650 was recognized quickly.? I am thinking of exchanging the phone.? Thanks.

So I just had the BT retrofit done on my March 04 E60(Was not charged).
I borrowed my co-workers v551 and was able to pair it etc. From what I could see it looked like I would have to enable the BT on the phone every time i entered the car. Once there was an active BT connectio it would stay on but if there was no BT in the area it would shut off the BT radio after 60 seconds. Is this how the V551 works or is there a way to have BT on the phone active all the time so it will connect each time I enter the car? I looked in the manual with no luck.
My SonyEricsson T68 will always be looking for BT and connect automaticly when I get in the car(But the T68 does not get as good a signal so I'm looking into alterante phones).

In the v551 manual on page 76 it speaks to "Set Bluetooth Permanently On". I would assume that is different and better in our case than not setting permanently on. Just my $ 0.02 worth without benefit of having done any of this yet.

"Smart ass" In the v551 manual on page 76 it speaks to "Set Bluetooth Permanently On". I would assume that is different and better in our case than not setting permanently on. Just my $ 0.02 worth without benefit of having done any of this yet.[snapback]91837[/snapback]
[/quote]cobradav,
Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately it was not useful. Attached are the manual pages from motolora.com for the v551
Page 76 says nothing about BT and the Bluetooth Section Pages 80 and 81 don't mention anything about Permanently on.
So, could you describe the menu which you set BT to be "Permanently on" or send me a copy of the page 76? As I said earleir I did not see a "Permanenetly on" in the menus, and that it turned off ater 60 seconds.

That way, BT is on all the time. When I get into my car with the phone in my pocket, the car automatically connects with the phone. Be advised, batteries drain (much) faster with BT power on.

[/quote]Oh, you detected the "Smart Ass" - I thought that might slip by
Obviously different manuals. Mine dated 11/04 and looks like document number SJJN6795B. I am at work so I cannot scan. I'll try excerpt from manual. By the way it looks like a feature spelled out in-between your page 81 items - "Edit Device Properties" and your next item is "Set Bluetooth Options" I have "Set Bluetooth Permanently On" between those items and it goes like this:
">Settings>Connection>Bluetooth Link>Setup>Power>On "
If I have not made it clear enough let me know and I'll try scanning when I get home tonight.
