Toyota Camry Hybrid Bluetooth/Phone Questions
Hello all
I am new to this group but have been reading the posts for the past three months. I recently picked up my Camry Hybrid. So far all is going well expect my ability to pair my Treo 650 to the hands free function in the car. Have anyone paired a Treo 650? If so, please help me. I know how to pair other others to the phone. It looks like the phone picks up the device. After entering the code and clicking ok the phone appears to be fine. The speaker in the car just keeping saying something like still searching. Then it says the search has failed.
Can anyone help me.
I checked the software version and it says Trea650 - 1.04a-VZW. I am on Verizon.
Many Thanks in Advance

Everyone thinks they are an exception to the "statistic".
You probably aren't, though.
Yep, I will have been in the car with the phone connected. I'll turn the car off, then turn it back on, and it won't auto connect. I have to go in and reselect the phone. I didn't have to do that before I added the second phone. Does yours autoconnect to the last phone used?

Ok, I'm gonna say this ... one time!
My original point was not that there was no added risk, life is all about risks and those we choose to take or not. Some people eat Big Macs- I consider a phone call on the road less risky. Ok bad unrelated example, but you get the point. If you want to avoid added risk, you wouldn't be in a car in the first place- otherwise you are deluding yourself because even if you maintain perfect control of the vehicle, you are at the mercy of the distracted, but also the sick, the too young, and the too old. (no phones, huge risks) What is worse, phone-yap or driving with intermitantly failing eyesight?
My original point was that talking on a hands free phone setup with speed dialing, etc, is just as safe as trying to haul 3 screaming kids around.
In fact, a REAL passenger could definitely be considered more distracting than one on the phone. So if we are going to go around making all practices that put others at risk illegal, what I was trying to originally say was, don't punish me because I have a Treo and not screaming kids watching f*kin spongebob in the back seat, a cup of coffee (no coffee in MY whip- unacceptable risk), death metal, an imaginary friend, a nose-hair trimmer, a bagel, an ipod, or not because I am simply an uncoordinated moron.
Furthermore, I AM a statistic, but you haven't said which one I might be- if 20% of people talking on cell phones can't focus and crash- why can't I be one of the other 80%? Even if it is 90% (which it is NOT) why couldn't I be one of the 10%?
If I can't talk on the hands free than talking to a passenger should be totally illegal, yep, yep, and they should fine ya', then fine ya' again and lock ya' up. If that doesn't work, they should fine you a huuuge amount, take away your license, give your car to charity, then lock ya' up, then execute ya'.
If worse comes to worse I can become a ventriloquist, the cops won't be able to tell I am on the phone!
Until then save your preaching.
I have a bluetooth capapable phone and am thinking of buying my wife a new phone which is also Bluetooth capable. If mine rings I can answer it through the JBL unit but not sure if I can set hers up to do the same thing since mine already is.....OR will the JBL unit only accept a single phone pairing.
I am not asking if we can both talk handsfree at the same time as I know that is not possible.
Clarification Point:
(at least not through the JBL because outside the car every time I say something she is also talking telling me what to do, when to do it or how to do it better........In fact on further reflection, it seems that she is pretty much talking all the time. However, I'm not sure about what because I rarely pay attention but I am smart enough to realize that when the tone sharpens and the whistles, clicking and other droning noises increase and get closer together I better nod yes dear or something)....LMAO
I just signed up with Verizon TODAY. Got the Motorola E815 phone w/Bluetooth. Went out to the parking lot, and within a few minutes had successfully configured the phone/car BT interface without consulting the manual. I then used the touchscreen to dial home and leave a message. Pretty cool to hear the answering machine coming through the car speakers, and then be able to talk handsfree! When I got home, the quality of my voice on the machine was loud and clear.
I still haven't looked at voice commands for Nav, climate, phone, etc., so can't give you any answers there. Plan to look at that stuff ASAP now that I have the full complement of toys.
Good luck!

I believe the reason for the multiple disconnects and reconnects is because of the mode you are in. When the car is normally paired for hands free use, it can't do data (object) exchange of phone book entries. You essentially have to drop out of the hands free mode and get into data (object) exchange mode.
This should be documented in the manual somewhere...
I gave them the boot 17 months ago.
They don't care either!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for contacting our Verizon Wireless website. We are happy to assist you with your OBEX question. We apologize for any confusion. The agreements we have with our Get It Now content providers preclude our allowing anyone to download applications beyond the phone. It is for this reason that none of our Get It Now enabled Bluetooth capable handsets have Bluetooth Object Exchange (OBEX) or file transfer capabilities enabled. Only our PDA-based handsets such as the XV6700, Treo 700w/700p, Motorola Q, etc. have OBEX enabled.

The only problem is that when I hung up the call, I lost the pairing. I tried to pick up the phone from Blue Tooth for another call and got a message saying that there is no phone connected.
Any more advice would be muchly appreciated.
I have a Treo 650. I set it up one day in my '07 TCH and all was grand. Since then (for no apperant reason) it has stopped working. I have removed and re-connected it multiple times, to no avail. The manual is of no use to me at all. Any hints from the crowd?
Thanks in advance folks,

Uhhh, you'll have to ask one of the "smarter" TCH owners
Many Thanks in Advance!!!

Cell Phone: Free or $100
I think you guys have the cart before the horse. :P
Buy a new phone.
The RAZR or Chocolate will work, it looks like.
For the most part, I just dial the number (often from my E815's phonebook) and the TCH's handsfree bluetooth picks up the call almost instantly.
My RAZR has voice dialing, so all I have to do is say "Call Mike Stevens" or simply say the area code and numbers for anyone. Much less hassle.....
But, I am not complaining, my friends are blown away when I demonstrate how well the tch voice system works. I just love it!
I'm curious, I have not tried it, but when you log into the NAV in say French, is the voice in French or just the screen? I assume since they sell these in Northern Canada it would have a French voice?
However I believe there is a password (0000?) that was needed at one point. My son told me that.
