Razor works great but was wondering why when using Verizon Nav, verbal directions can't be heard (either on phone's loud speaker or car's speaker). Function stops working as soon as car is turned on and phone syncs

Any ideas

Yeah that is the way it works you must unsync your razor from the cars bluetooth but what you can do is use a bluetooth headset and still listen to the radio and get the turn by turn . Maybe a update will fix this mishap by the way i love the VZ navigation kinda takes the blhas off not haveing one intergrated in my car

I agree, if it works with the blue tooth head set, why not the E60? Different versions of BT? I'll see if I can follow up but I doubt that I will have much success.

I think it "could" but the first release isn't ready yet. Do any of the other Get It Now features play through the E60, like the VCast or games?

I have a Verizon Razr phone and when I'm using it in my car I can hear the verbal commands by the navigation. It kind of gets annoying when I'm speaking mid-sentence and directions are being spoken by the car. The person I'm on the phone with can hear the commands also.

edit: nvmd, I re-read the first post and realized that he/she was talking about Verizon's own navigation. (I didn't know verizon had a navigation service)

I can only guess but I would say it has more to do with the way Verizon locks down their phones. They don't allow for all BT transmission methods.
