Bluetooth & iPhone kind of working

[geoler]

Hi all,

I've tries the search facility but can't find anything relating to my problem. 

 

I have my zed paired with my iPhone.  Dialling a number works. E.g. 

Me : "Dial number"

Zed : "The number please"

Me : "0207 121 3300"

Zed : repeats number

Me : "Dial"

Zed : "The number is dialled"

 

However, dialling a name that I've stored doesn't work. 

 

Me : "Dial named"

Zed : "The name please"

Me : "Home"

Zed : "Cancelled"

 

Any ideas?

 

Cheers,

Geo

I had this with my HTC Desire. It was the system not recognizing the name I think and not a problem with the phone. At least you don't get the "pardon" which drives me mad.

Just checked this again. Having said the name the system replays the stored auto for the correct name, then nothing happens.

You need to say "dial" again after the name is played back..

 

 

E.g.

you : "Dial named"

Zed : "The name please"

you: "Home"

Zed (in your recoded voice): "home"

you: "Dial"

Thanks was8v,

It even states that in the manual. Dunno how I missed it!

thought it was dial name and not dial named

Yeah, you're right. Fat fingers an an iPhone don't work too well for posting on forums!

thinking of picking on e of these bluetooth units up tommorow. how does it work if you have someones home, mobile and work number under the same contact? also, is this with iphone 3 or 4?

 

cheers

You have to put each of them in and name them, e.g John Home, John Mobile etc.

I'm using an iPhone 3GS. As said above you have to store the numbers again in the Bluetooth system as it can't access the numbers stores in the phone.

got the bluetooth module on Sunday (from Mike at MJP) and fitted it - works perfectly with iPhone 4 , and I was suprised how well the voice control worked for dialling and storing, even with a fair amount of road noise.

I'm having a little problem with mine....

 

I managed to sync it fine, so if i get a phone call it rings through my speakers and then i can answer it and speak fine...

 

However, when i try to make a phone call (by clicking on the speech button on steering wheel) it beeps, i say something, but it automatically dials "123567890" which is the BT number for finding out the exact time! I tried saying "Dial Number" after hearing the beep, but no matter what I do it just dials the above number!

 

Also, I don't have the "Phone" option in my menu - so I cant do the settings or anything!

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

you have to press the button then say "dial name" or "dial number"

then it should say "number/name please" depending on what you said

then you say the number (in blocks of 3-6 at a time works best) or name (if you have stored it)

then it will repeat what you said, then you have to say "dial" at the end

that's it

 

it's worth pointing out that you can only dial a name if you have stored it in the module itself - the module cannot dial names from your phone contacts list (unless i missed something)

 

to do this you press the button and say "store" , she asks for the number and name, then at the end you say "store"

 

hope this works for you

Thanks for that mate - v.useful!

 

Unfortunately mine doesn't work still!

 

When I press the number it beeps, then no matter what I say, it dials the number i mentioned above!

 

Incoming calls seem to work fine, it rings and i pick up and speak normally. (although the speakers simply play my ringtone - is this normal?)

 

Also - i have NOTHING in my menu which says "phone" etc and allows me to adjust settings.

 

Finally - the module has a button on the side, should this be out or pressed in?

 

I guess I might have to pop into my dealer on the weekend :-(

[webbtay]

there are no settings to adjust

 

the button on the side should be out - this is the release button. you press it in and slide the module forwards to remove the module

 

otherwise unfortunately sounds like you may have a faulty unit (or a very unusual voice? )

Here is the manual - make sure you have followed all the procedures to use all the features - it is a bit of a pain having to enter each contact you want in the car's system individually and coping with the 'pardons' but once done I found it worked fine in my previous 350.

 

 

 

With the 370 all you need to do is beam your phone contacts to the car's in-built system - piece of cake
