I have a quick question about my bluetooth connectivity. I am using a Verizon Treo 700w, and in general, it works great. However, sometimes, I get into the car, and the car does not recognize my phone. This is in spite of being sure to have my phone's bluetooth activity turned to "on," and in spite of the car searching endlessly. So far, the only solution I have found is to delete my phone from the device list, and then re-pair. Does anyone have any suggestions for an easier way?

Thanks in advance.

Never had those problem with almost 10 different mobile phones, but frankly I never put a lock code on all those mobile phones.

I had a problem with both my Treo 770w and MotoRazr (both Verizon) occassionally losing connectivity. I don't know about the issue with lock codes (I never use them) but according to BMW, mine was software related. When it happened, the only way to get the phone recognized was to shut off the car, let it sit for awhile and re-start. The phone was then recognized without having to delete, re-install and re-pair.

This was one of the things my SA said would be addressed with my recent upgrade to Progman v. 25. I had that done about 2 weeks ago and no loss of connectivity since. It's still to soon to tell if it corrected the problem.

not sure how you do it with the treo, but with the razor it was easy as going into the settings menue and removing the auto lock feature from the menue. You know the one that locks the keys and prompts you for the the pass code to make a call . That is the problem that i had when my auto lock was on the car woud not pair even when i was talking and started the car it would not switch over turned off that feature and mine works fine pairs immediately all the time.
