A new law was passed that requires hands free cellphone usage and/or bans cells being used by the driver w/o one....so I used my Superbowl winnings to buy a new Pioneer in dash unit that has both an Ipod hookup and bluetooth for my cell.
Took out my perfectly good Alpine dash unit and trunk mounted CD changer....it's for sale (both units)...$200 for the first caller.... The new dash unit comes with a microphone and the caller can be heard thru the stereo speakers...the dash unit gives the caller ID and you can use the remote or dash controls for answer/hangup, etc.... The installer...a guy who does it very well....he also cleared out all the DAPO alarm mess....HIS phone works perfectly....it's a Motorola...mine an LG VX 8100 detects the unit but won't accept the input code. Verizon, LG, Pioneer point at each other....NO SUPPORT from anyone.....they can't tell me if it's SUPPOSED to work or not. No one can give me a list of phones that DO work.....Pioneer at least gave me the five Bluetooth formats that they DO support..... LG could or would not tell which Bluetooth format their own phone uses.... Can't find a Bluetooth contact number..... Any ideas? |

Rich It works fine with a cell phone that has a compatible bluetooth platform. I borrowed the installers razr and was able to hear and talk on the freeway with the top down on my cabriolet.... The unit behind it has a single CD AND a dedicated IPOD plug that also charges it when plugged in....dash and remote work both the cell and the IPOD. |
