Bluetooth & Sony Ericsson

[billygarrett]

K700i...

I had loads of problems with my K700i disconnecting randomly but it is not the car! I sent the phone back 3 times and the 4th phone finally worked fine. I think the bluetooth software wasn't bug free... Upside was that I got 3 free 512k memorysticks!

Transfer the phonebook:

On the car - Phone>Settings>Transfer Phonebook and follow instructions. The phone will then disconnect from the car.

On the phone (most sony-ericssons): Phonebook>Options>Advanced>Send all Contacts - then select the car when it asks who you want to send it to (normnally this is called HANDSFREE)

Now the bad part - in the Sony Ericsson you can store more than one number per name which is logical. The Lex can't understand this so it only stores the last number for each name which is normally fax or other, so not alot of use. The only way I have found around it (since for some reason Lexus decided it wasn't useful to be able to enter phone number from the screen :tsktsk: ) is to use an old SIM card and a PC to edit the phone list.

Let me know if you want me to explain how!

Cheers.

Thanks I will have a go and see how I get on.

I have just tried this out and it worked perfectly. Thank you.

However I didn't realise I had som many obsolete phone numbers.!!

Now I wil have to go through them and delete the dead ones!!

BUT, I made a test call and the reception at the other end was badly distorted, so I will have to check out the settings in the hidden menu :(
