IPhone and Garmin Nuvi 660 pair!

Thought I would mention that the iPhone successfully pair with the Garmin Nuvi 660 via Bluetooth, AND all of the address book entries (including multiple numbers) gets transferred to the Nuvi for use. Great feature to dial while on the road without even taking the iPhone out....

I have not had any problems; I get in-and-out of the car and each time the two devices have successfully paired. I once turned off BT for a while in the iPhone but had no problems when I turned it back on and then later got in the car to go somewhere. I keep my Nuvi plugged in all the time -- maybe that makes a difference? Do you unplug your Nuvi when leaving the car and then replug it when starting out again?

  • IPhone and Garmin Nuvi GPS

    Besides my Motorolla headset, I managed to pair my iPhone to my Garmin Nuvi 360 GPS with no problems. This particular Nuvi model as well as some other Garmin models have Bluetooth built in. The benefits of this device is that besides the wonderful Nuvi GPS features, the device is also a car kit with speaker and microphone. What I found quite remarkable was that during the pairing, the entire phonebook I have on my iPhone came over as well. So, when someone on that list calls, their name comes up on the touch screen. Or if you want to call someone, either click through or search the directory on the Garmin. Very cool.
    Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    iPhone works with my Garmin Nuvi 360 via bluetooth, downloaded address book and all, but after a day or two the connection stops working (iPhone says they’re paired, but Nuvi doesn’t show phone icon) and I have to manually set up the connection again. Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks.

    updating the firmware in the iphone is the problem. there's a huge thread somewhere of people having problems with the bluetooth disconnecting with their garmins after they updated their iphones to 1.3:

  • Palm Pre and Garmin Nuvi 765T

    I have a Garmin Nuvi 765T and am trying to pair the pre with it.  However, the Garmin can see the pre but connection fails.  The garmin attempts, I guess, to use the passkey 1234 but the 2 never connects.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    I also have a Pre and as you mentioned, the Garmin sees the Pre but cannot pair (the pre never asks for pascode (1234) input.  It worked flawlessly on my Samsung Instinct.  The address book was transfered nicely!
    Interestingly, I started with a 265WT and it synced with the Pre w/o problems.

  • Iphone and garmin gps

    Hello,
    Does anyone know if any of the garmin gps units, specifically the 680, work with the bluetooth on the iphone?

    I have two Nuvi 680s and my iPhone pairs up perfectly. The phonebook works flawlessly, you can dial the number and even bring up the dial pad during a call to use touch tones. You can hang up a call, choose to ignore the call and see the call duration. Recent calls and missed are also shown on the Nuvi.
    All you have to do is pair up the phone with the Nuvi and it will work! Much easier than when I had a Treo650.
    Enjoy!

  • E65 and Garmin Nuvi 215

    Hi y'all 
    I just bought a Nuvi 215 which i love - first proper gps and i dont know how I 
    lived without before! 
    I have got 2 problems regarding connecting with my E65 
    1) I cant get the phonebook/contacts on my phone to show on the nuvi. 
    I have searched the forum for solutions - I cant get my phone to send the 
    marked cantacts to the gps - i get 'sending failed' message on the phone. 
    Have tried downloading the 810 contact app but it is in a permanent state of 'processing'...
    2)When I hang up a call on the nuvi the volume has been reduced to
    almost nothing even though its still on the 70% on the volume menu. 
    This also happens when the phone first pairs with the gps, and seems to 
    do it at random times too. 
    Any help will be appreciated! 
    thanks,

  • Linking iphone and new computer - missing pairing record

    Hi,
    I recently had a mechanical hard drive failure in my old laptop and now need to link my iphone so it can sync with ym new computer.  I am not able to do it however as i keep getting a message that i hve a "missing pairing record"
    Is there a way to connect the two devices so i can sync my phone.

    I'm not familiar with that message myself, but perhaps something in this user tip will help: Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. I suspect the error is something to do with the syncing of contact & calendar info. You may need to create dummy records in each to trigger a sync or replace prompt.

  • Problems Pairing with Garmin Nuvi 265W

    Bought a new Garmin Nuvi 265W GPS. Set the unit up. It paired immediately with iPhone and worked without issue. Then as a last step in the setup I registered the Nuvi with Garmin. Big mistake. During the registration Garmin wrote something to the Nuvi and toasted the iPhone pairing. Unit goes into an on/off do loop. Resetting and restoring doesn't help. Unpaired the iPhone and deleted it from the Nuvi so at least it's back working. Garmin doesn't know why what they write during the registration process causes the problem and said there is no way to go back. I've got V2.2 on my iPhone. Anybody have a similar problem and know of a work around to get the pairing to work again?

    I bought a Garmin 265WT recently and could pair my iPhone 1st generation to the unit but it would constantly reboot the Garmin unit. After reading all the support forums and upgrading to the latest software releases on both my iPhone and Garmin 265WT
    I could not get the problem resolved running the below software/firmware:
    iPhone 2.2 and 2.2.1
    Garmin 4.8 with Bluetooth Firmware 1.7
    I finally called Garmin and they shipped me another unit. The new unit worked without any problems even with older software and firmware. Seems as if the reboot problem might be more than just software and firmware related.
    My iphone at this point is running 2.2.1 but the below software and firmware revisions of the new Garmin 265WT worked:
    The new unit came with software:
    Software Version 4.40
    GPS SW Version 2.38b
    Bluetooth SW Version 1.65
    This worked no problem with bluetooth. No reboots....
    I even upgraded to:
    Software Version 5.0
    Bluetooth SW Version 1.7
    The unit still worked no problem. I can only suspect the issue here is hardware related in some cases. So for some people the upgraded software/firmware may work. But if you are running both iPhone 2.2.1 (1st Gen Phone) and the latest software and Bluetooth firmware and still have the problem I would call Garmin and have them replace the unit.

  • Problems pairing with Garmin Nuvi 1310 sat nav

    I have been trying to connect to a Garmin Nuvi 1310 sat nav. It set up first time, however when I switch off the sat nav and then turn it back on my phone will not connect automatically. I have to remove it from the list on the Garmin and start all over again. Surely this can't be right, my old iPhone re-connected automatically everytime. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

  • BT pairing with Garmin Nuvi 2310

    Hi everyone
    BB Curve 8520 v5.0.01036 - BT v1.1
    Garmin Nuvi 2310 - BT v5
    This is my first BB, I wish I bought one years ago.  Its great.
    I do have a problem pairing with my satnav.  The satnav turns off once the connection is made.  I have read other posts but nothing refers to the Curve 8520.
    One post said the the different versions of BT could be the problem?  I have emailed Garmin to see if they can supply an older version of their firmware for BT.  Does anyone know if the BT version can be updated on the BB?  Both the Garmin and BB have been updated using their software/websites.
    Any help on this is appreciated, Allan.

    I have a new 8520 and a Nuvi 660 which I've had a couple of years. Paired easily with no problem IRO using the Nuvi as a handsfree device in the car.
    The Nuvi is running BT sw 3.4. and the BB same as yours.

  • MBP Bluetooth connection to Garmin nuvi

    Good morning, everyone!
    I am trying to figure out if it is possible to pair my MBP (C2D) with my Garmin nuvi 660 gps unit. Rather, I've been able to pair the two devices, but the nuvi expects to be paired to a phone, so it doesn't recognise the MBP or any files I try to send. Basically, I want to be able to send image files and mp3's to the nuvi.
    Does anyone have any ideas on this? (I've also posted this question on a couple of gps boards.)
    Thanks!

    I have the same problem. I think that neither of the companies have the will to solve this issue.  I have always been a fan of Nokia, so this is really disappointing.

    You can only add songs to your iOS device from iTunes via Wi-Fi sync or via your cable, not Bluetooth.

    That's an entirely different issue, unrelated to your iOS devices.

  • What will pairing my iPhone and Macbook allow me to do?

    Just curious what capabilities I should have after pairing my iPhone and Macbook??
    I was able to pair them after 3.0, where prior I was not, so is there any advantage besides for tethering (which I know is not available yet, relax)
    I appreciate any help in advance, thanks.

    Bluetooth file transfer is not supported, so I can't imagine any reason you'd want the iPhone and Macbook paired until tethering becomes available.

  • Why Cant i pair iphone and ipod via bluetooth

    Why Cant i pair iphone and ipod via bluetooth

    you cant because you couldn't actually do anything with them even if they were paired. Bluetooth on iphones and ipods is really just for accessories. Its annoying though that you cant transfer files and photos ect. but at least we have iCloud.
