I've seen a lot of threads regarding problems with Bluetooth pairing and compatibility and thought it might be useful to start a thread for people to use to list which phone model and carrier you're using.
Please consider responding in the following format - when the thread has sufficient responses, I'll compile them into a single table and will post the summary. OEMs can only do compatibility verification based upon phones available at the time the systems are being tested - before the cars are built so there's a chance the newer phones may or may not work with the Bluetooth system onboard the vehicle. I've had several phone models with mixed results with my car so I'll be the first to use the suggested format which is:
Country / Vehicle Year / Phone Model / Cell Phone Carrier / Notes (the Notes section would be anything you want to share with readers of this thread)
Here's mine:
US / 07 / HTC EVO 4g / Sprint / Notes: Pairing works, incoming calls and outgoing calls work, phone has an app loaded to prevent mis-dialing so when dialing out, I can't entirely use hands free but instead, I have to acknowledge on the phone screen that I do want to place a call, then the system continues to work. When I answer the phone, I can answer incoming calls using the enter button using the right knob on the head unit and pressing it inward to answer the call but if I acknowledge the incoming call on the phone screen, the call goes to the phone. Leaving Bluetooth turned on in the phone automatically syncs with the car with no problem. The address book doesn't sync but I don't want my car to have all 650+ phone numbers anyway. There are only a few I use regularly and they're available on the car's system after I place a call only once.
I'll be interested to see your responses! Thanks!
