Hi all,

Completely new Superb owner here - I just bought a second hand one (first registered March 2010). It's the plushest car I've ever had, but like a few people on this site I'm having great problems getting the phone to work.

My main phone is a Palm Pre and I always knew I'd have difficulties with it, but I also have the older Centro And Treo 650 phones with PalmOS. I saw someone on here had success with the Centro and I downloaded a phone compatibility list a few weeks ago and only the Treo was on it, so I'd resigned myself to having a separate phone for the car until webOS is updated. However, any of the phones I try to add gets recognised and then rejected as incompatible. Each time I turn on the car I get a message that it's looking for a Blackberry and then a Nokia (which I presume the last owner had) but I can't see any way of making the system forget these devices. I had a look under the driver's seat and I think I may have the rSAP-only bluetooth module - is that bad? There seems to be precious little information about this in the manual.

I'm not sure if this might give someone a clue, but I tried to put a 16Gb SD card in and it couldn't read it. I thought that the latest firmware allowed it to read the higher capacity cards, so maybe I have old firmware? Or it may be a red herring.

Many thanks in advance for any pointers anyone can give me. I'm driving to Ireland in a couple of weeks time and the phone is going to be essential.

Your car has the earlier bluetooth module which only support RSAP (Remote Sim Access Protocol), unless your handsets support this then the phone will not connect. The newer module supports a lot more phones, and can be retrofitted if you need to although getting hold of the module can be expensive,

Ah. I feared that might be the case. Oh well looks like I'm going onto ebay for a second hand phone then.

Any recommendations? It'll just sit in the car, so the only things I need it to do are work with the car and have a decent battery life. I see they tried to create a list in another thread but it got polluted with people who didn't quite understand the point.

But thanks for getting back to me so quickly. This is a very useful forum!

My daughters Nokia 2330 connects as well as the more expensive mobiles my wife and I have. Her phone was only £17 from carphone warehouse and actually worked out cheaper than buting secondhand from fleabay with no warrenty.

The other phones we have connected are a Nokia 2730 and Nokia 5230 Navi. The latter purchased because of its ease of connection, but the 7 digit postcode comes in handy and means my 36 year old classic car now has sat nav with no modifications.

Excellent. Nokia 2330 it is then. I don't want to spend a fortune on it as I already have a phone. And now I come to think about it it's probably a good idea to have a car phone number only for the select few.

Thank you very much. I shall pop out and buy one this afternoon.
