My Yeti has the in car Bluetooth system - think its called GSM II ?

Now I've read and re-read the less than helpful text in the owners manual and the Bolero manual too, and have successfully paired it with my Nokia E51 - it connects whenever I get in the car and turn the ignition on, and disconnects when I turn things off... OK so thats good.

Where I'm stuck is it has a 'phonebook' which the manual suggests it downloads from the contacts in your phone, except mine never does - I've got plenty of contacts in my phone but the phonebook in the car remains empty, so I still have to use the actual phone if I want to call anyone (as like most people I don't actually know the numbers), and for the same reasons, I have no idea who is calling if I get an incoming call, which kind of makes the whole system fairly useless.

Anyone give me some clues about it - is it my phone or do I need to do something to make it download the contacts?

Help please!

Cheers,

The bluetooth system seems to be a bit sensitive to phone type. Mine has a few "interesting" behaviours.

You can force a phone-book update by going into Setup, selecting Phone, then pressing the option to Update.

Having said that, the downloaded phone book just does not work with my LG mobile. All the numbers are truncated, so it's useless. Either the Bolero, or my mobile (or both) have not implemented the Bluetooth data interchange spec properly somewhere.

What I have done instead, is manually program the few numbers I use regularly into the "speed dial" settings directly on the Bolero. This works great, since I rarely call when driving, and it's usually just to phone home to say I'm on my way...  :-)

Have a look at this thread and especially the PDF posted lower down:

In the list at the bottom of that PDF your E51 is not listed.

Just read this in that PDF manual:

*NB Please note: When you first pair your phone with the Bluetooth® system, your phone may prompt you to

connect automatically every time you get in to the car. If you accept this function that phone will be the only

phone that can be paired to the Bluetooth® system. Even the phone menu will be unavailable until the specific

phone is paired again.

Gosh. So you can only pair one phone at a time!?!?! My Sony Bluetooth in my Audi can pair up to five phones at any one time. This is really daft if you have more than one regular driver.

I think that's garbage. Wife has her Nokia something or other set to automatically connecting to the Skoda Bluetooth and yet my iPhone pairs each time I use her car and it downloads my phone book.

Not sure if it makes any difference, but does it depend on whether your contacts are stored in the phone or stored on the SIM card?

Its true that you can only pair one phone at a time but you CAn pair more that 1 phone :yes:

Kitten used the car the other day (with my permission and her phone pairs perfectly, as does mine.

I can't see our iPhones, but they work ok according to all who have them....

my iphone 3GS OS 4 works every time - no issues.

Yes that's quite true. I have paired 3 phones which the car recognises individually depending which one is in the car. Thes are:

O2 XDA Orbit 2 (microsoft mobile operating system)

Nokia 5230

Orange San Francisco (android operating system).

I'm rather hoping my Nokia 5800 works okay with it. I'm a little concerned now after some of the posts. I'd expect it to work perfectly for the sort of car the Yeti is. My little Fiat 500 has a similar system and that works brilliantly and that's a Fiat!!

Just to confirm for those having difficulties.

When Kitten and I went to collect Ivor I (wrongly) assumed you set the phone up on the Bolero display :no:

You set the phone up using the Maxi-dot display :yes:

As per the PDF mentioned in post #3.

Another badly written manual.

Most useful thread, thanks. i fear that I will have problems too when i have the strength to grapple with it - I have an LG phone. The list is strangely limited IMO.

Roger

Thanks for all the replies - looks like I need to get a slightly more modern phone - my E51 is 3 years old now which in mobile phone terms means its almost stone age

I did not want to suggest this earlier for fear of upsetting people, but that is the sensible (and dare I say cheapest) thing to do. You can get a compatible Nokia with Bluetooth as a Pay-as-you-go these days for £45 or so and it is outright yours with no contract. You can get cheaper PAYG phones of course but they won't have Bluetooth.

I have now got the phonebook successfully downloaded and it all working correctly with my Nokia E51

I had a read of this thread:

http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/80860-skoda-bluetooth-phone-compatibility/

And followed the link in the first post to download and install the Nokia 810 contact download application on my phone as the E51 is an S60 3rd Edition phone.

I then deleted the pairing with the car from the phone, then turned the ignition on, paired it again, and hey-presto, it downloaded all my contacts, and I now have a fully working setup with phone book etc. Woohoo!

So, hopefully won't need a new phone after all

Cheers,

Good news then. Another compatible phone to add to the un-official list then.

has anyone tried synchronising a Nokia E5?

My Samsung B2100* isn't on any compatibility list I've seen but it works fine with the bluetooth kit in my Elegance. Apart from the voice dialling, which is rather more than a bit hit-and-miss - in fact it's basically useless! I wish there was a way to restrict it to recognising only voice tags you have actually recorded yourself, rather than trying to match the against computer-generated speech versions of the names in the phone book. As it is, every time I try to make a call using voice dialling it asks if I want to connect to the Met Office's weather-by-text service! How it decides that "home" sounds like "weather" is beyond me...

I can't play music from the phone. I've enabled the bluetooth audio on the Bolero via the media setup screen but the soft button on the audio screen remains obstinately greyed out. Stereo headset appears on the service list for SKODA_BT and SKODA_BT appears on the list of stereo headsets I can play music to, but when I try that nothing happens. Anyone have any clues? I seem to be so close!

The lack of phone-originated music is a fairly minor issue for me anyway since I keep most of my MP3s on SD card, which work just fine plugged straight in to the Bolero.

* AKA the "Solid Extreme" - seems to fit rather better with the slightly rufty-tufty style of the Yeti, especially when compared to a lot of the jelly-mould softroaders out there eg the new Kia Sportage.

Anyone know how to get rid of the sound that is played when the phone is paired?

It´s not the sound that bugs me, but the volume of the sound. If you don´t remember to turn down the phonevolume after a conversation the sound when turning off the car is very load...

Any ideas??

This has been covered extensively recently in another post or three. I can't look up at moment as mobile signal is c**p.
