Hands free in car with MP3 connection?

I have 2 friends that have the same Blackberry (8310) and both are able to attach a cable to their Blackberry and a MP3 jack in their car an are able to be hands free. They can hear through their car speakers while talking on their phone. I have the same model of car (Toyota Matrix) and curve (8310) however my serice is through AT&T and theirs in through Verizon. I cannot get mine to work this way. Is there some setting I need to adjust so this will work? (Headphones that came with my Blackberry do work so this leads me to belive that the jack works.
Thanks,
Tom

are you sure it's the same jack you have in both cars ? it may be something else that depends on the options when you buy the car.
Mayby you have the option "speaker" but not "microphone".

IOS and hand-free in-car messages

When will iOS support reading text messages when the phone is ocnnected to a hands-free headset in a car? All urban areas require hands-free phone operation and text messages are a part of everyone's mobil life. This feature is availble on Winodws phones today and I miss it now that I have an iPhone.

Use Siri as razmee suggests, or purchase an in car system that supports the Message Access Protolcol (MAP) Bluetooth profile.
Siri has done this since iOS 5.0. MAP support was added with iOS 6.0.

Hands free is interfering with speaker- iphone 4S

When I make a call using the hands-free, the speaker icon is on. I turn it off but they still cannot hear me on the other line. Has anyone experienced the same problem?

Let's not give up just yet, vjpucci. Dilbertaz offered additional excellent clarifying steps for pairing bluetooth devices. Did it help?
If you are still experiencing connectivity issues, if you have not done so, please try updating your bluetooth headsets firmware. There may be a few bluetooth firmware/stack issues causing the problem. This can help!

IPHONE 3G Won't stay connected to bluetooth hands free on car hifi

Hello,
I have just switched to the iphone 3G from my Nokia 8800 and the iphone 3G won't stay connected to my Pioneer head unit! It connects OK manually but the "AUTO" connection function on the Pioneer does not work with the Iphone, But it does work with the Nokia OK!!
So everytime i come back to the car it doesn't work till i go through the whole connection 5 minute procedure again!
Have factory reset the pioneer but no cigar.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Chris

I would try a reset or a restore first. Also, chances are that you paid for your phone using a credit card. Most credit cards give buyer an extra year of warranty protection. If you paid with a credit card and the purchase date is less than two years, call your credit card company and ask if they can pay for the repair.

How to transfer i phone contacts to hands free in car

Question. I phone dont offer to transer data by Bluetooth.

Once your iPhone is paired, it is up to your car's system to negotiate the transfer, not the iPhone. The methods and capabilities for this vary by car manufacturer. You're going to check your car's manual to see what the requirements are, and what the procedure is to transfer contacts from your iPhone.

Free Apple Care with Xserve purchase?

I see that the Xserve Transition Guide promises "The AppleCare Premium Service and Support program for Xserve is available as an option at time of order to extend complimentary technical support and hardware service coverage to three years from the Xserve date of purchase."
Complimentary means no charge, so I guess Apple is offering free 3-year coverage to those who buy into their dying platform, right?

The Complimentary AppleCare last for 90 days after purchase... If you want to be covered after that, you must PAY!

Is my Plantronics 245 Bluetooth Hands Free device compatible with the iPhone 6?

I have followed the pairing procedure, but the iPhone 6 does not recognize the device. Is it a lost cause?

Bluetooth connection to car hands free

i have a motorola car hands free kit installed with my old 6230i the connection was automatic but i now have a 5500 sport this needs to be re-installed every time i get into my van does anyone know why or is the sport a H.O.S

If you try resetting your motorola car kit ( i dont know how) then pair your phone again this should work. also in your phone bluetooth settings see if you can change the motorola kit to automatically authuorise connections. It sound like the kit is still looking for your 6230i which needs to be deleted.

Having trouble using my 9720 connecting to car hands free kit

Hi, i am utterly frustrated with my company blackberry 9720 phone. The trouble i am having is with the car hands free kit, my skoda superb uses the bluetooth premium and cannot use the normal hands free setting like with my Iphone. The problem i am having is firstly connecting, i can only use the bluetooth premuim, which completly changes all the setting on the phone i.e turns the network off on the phone and then a screen pops up saying running SAP mode (must use an ittenna in car?), which in turn stops emails from coming in, i can stupidly write texts messages on my dash board and receive them and read them on my dash board while driving. So when i remove the keys from the ignition the phone does not put the phone back to its normal working settings, it keeps the network switched off i have to go to settings and turn the network on. Thirdly when i turn the car on the phone will not connect automatically it says cannot connect to mobile, but if i switch the phone off and on it automatically connects, but if by the grace of god it does connect an second time the phone crashes and resets and then connects five minutes later after reseting. forthly this is not an phone issue it is definatly software as i have been given an second 9720 and the fault is present on both phones.
can anyone help

as I believe it a car bluetooth hands free can only be paired to one device . ie if you wish to pair with another device you would have to reset back to default and search again.... so does the cuve work if you reset the bury and pair again but then your other phone does not work with it ... this is logical as if we drove down a motorway we would pick up loadsa phones.... therefor we can only pair to one device

Thunderbolt will not stay paired with vehicle hands free.

Hello all.
I can't keep my thunderbolt paired with my vehicle's hands free feature. It keeps connecting and disconnecting on it's own. I've contacted the chevy dealer to see if there's a software upgrade for my car though I just bought my 2011 chevy cruze. My old env2 paired and worked fine. Hopefully this is just a glitch that gets resolved quickly.
I've seen many other posts on various forums with other people having the same problem with the thunderbolt. I've yet to see a solution which is why I thought I'd post on here.

Its very frustrating to have Bluetooth pairing issues. I checked on the Kia website and the Incredible 2 is not listed as a compatible phone with their vehicles. Click here for their website to check phone compatibility. You may want to check with your dealership to see if they will be updating their vehicles with newer devices.
Thank you

Is there a docking station for the iphone lightning which allows you to either go hands free or to connect your headphone socket while charging

I am trying really hard to get rid of my hands free bt phone with answering machine, but I cannot find anywhere that has an iphone 5 lightning cradle that allows my headphone to still be connected while the iphone is in the dock. does anyone know of any?

Not sure that that really helps me at all, but thanks for reading the question.

Hands Free Voice Memo

Is there any way to activate the Voice Memo on the new Iphone hands free?

Spoke with two reps from the new Apple Expert service. After some good advice to do my restore again as a new iPhone, I still had the same problem. Got a callback from a second rep who believed it to be a hardware issue. She set me up with a Genius appt, which was cool to not have to make another call or visit to a web page, and recommended that they replace the phone. The genius was helpful and agreed that we had done so many restores that it certainly appeared to be hardware. After getting the new phone home and getting it set up, I still have the same problem of "No", "Wrong" etc no longer working. Bummer.
I'm beginning to suspect that when this problem developed was when I upgraded to 3.01. I sent feedback to apple and am really hoping that either the next update does it or that someone might have some advice on diagnosing the software issue.

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, then when I unlock the phone it automatically redials the failed call,

When my iPhone 4S (with ios7) experiences a failed call while connected to my Bluetooth hands free in my car(screen locked) the failed call appears on the locked screen, as it should, the problem arises whenever I unlock the phone, it automatically redials the last failed call, it doesn't do this with missed calls that are on the locked screen, if any. It is really annoying as sometimes the phone doesn't respond to attempts to end the call before it connects to the number. I then have to explain that it was my phone and not me, I look like an idiot, which I don't really need any extra help with!! Does anyone have any ideas? I don't want to stop missed call from showing in the locked screen but it might be associated with the failed calls and therefore be the only resolution

I have had the same issue which was driving me mad but think I have just found a way around it. In iOS 7 if you swipe up on the lock screen to access quick settings and go into timer then click the home button you get into the phone without calling the person back. Not a great 'fix' but hope it works for you. Come on Apple this isn't good enough, fix this bug otherwise you will lose your customers.

Using hands free phone thru mp3 connection?

i have been currently using my curve 8330 in conjunction with a parrot bluetooth system for hands free phone. worked great.. unfortunately last week driver ran a red light and totaled my 05 honda element. just bought a 2008 Ford Escape XLT. does not have the microsoft sync system but does have an mp3 input jack. i know my blackberry will work as an mp3 player but can i use the phone funtions such as voice dialing and hear the audio thru my audio sytem without purchasing another parrott system? much appreciate your advice.

Actually you can talk with the iPhone still connected to your car audio. I owe an '06 Nissan Armada with an auxiliary jack included. Sometimes I will use my Apple BT. Here lately, I've been using nothing other than the iPhone plugged in and talking. I can hear the person I'm talking to and vice-versa. I always knew I could talk using the BT, but I just found out two weeks ago, that I could talk and listen without a BT, at all. The only thing you'll need to do is, make sure to decrease the volume of your system, in order to avoid any feedback. It'll work just fine, if you do it right. trust me.

IPhone 3Gs no longer connects to my Blue Tooth hands free cars

Within the last week, there appears to be a software update to my iPhone 3Gs. Since that time, my phone can no longer be paired with the hands free blue tooth options in both of my vehicles. The first vehicle is a 2010 Lincoln MKX with Sync and my other vehicle is a 2010 Volvo C30. Have other people experienced this? I have updated the connection between the phone and both vehicles. If I cannot get this fixed it looks like my iPhone is useless as a phone with blue tooth.

Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone. Tried it on 'one color ID' but it didn't work so I did it on all 'color IDs' and left it on reset mode when it 'accidentally' was picked up by my 3GS while searching!!! Found 'headset' and then recognised it as HCB-100. One happy guy for the holidays!!!
