Just figured this out. Most of you using then Razr may know this already.
Just in case. I just found out I could temporarily turn the Bluetooth function on, and when I exited the vehicle it auto shuts off.
Now I only need to remember to turn it on, not off.
Except for the better antenna output and reception with a cradle (which is not available with the Razr) I am glad I am not using a cradle since I use the phone with a power cable from the cigarette lighter in the car and have access to buttons on the Razr which I couldn?t if the phone was in a cradle.
Phone battery now last 3 to 4 days without a charge.

[/quote]Try this menu sequence: Settings, then Connection, then Bluetooth Link, then Handsfree. The next page will ask if you want Bluetooth temporarily powered on.

This works for the Moto 710 as well -- exact same key sequence. I made a shortcut (go to the handsfree settings, then press & hold the menu button) so I can turn it on quickly.

What do you mean by "temporarily" turning BT on? On my Razr V3 (Black) i have option to power it on or off, no temporary switch on! So, once BT is swiched on it stays on until I switch it off!. So, please can you tell us the procedure for the "temporary" BT switch on.
Thank you ,
