How did you get the phone to connect?
My radio shows its connected with the bluetooth "B", but does not connect with the phone. The radio is still playing and you can hear the phone ringing in the earpiece. Wish I had stayed with my T-mobile phone now. Using my portable Jabra bluetooth for now.
Maybe because I have a 2010?

nooooo... you're missing it.

press the bluetooth button on the steering wheel. at the prompt, say, bluetooth. Then, at the next prompt, say Voice... then the phone will ask to say command. ... you say 'call bob' or whatever name is stored in your phone contacts.

did you go through the phone bluetooth pairing, or just the music connect pairing?

I'd go through the phone pairing again

This is still not working for me. Bluetooth call worked the first time, but whenever I get a call or make a call it just goes to the phone. HTC is getting and angry e-mail from me. I spent $250 on their phone and it doesn't work properly.

I have not had an issue with my Thunderbolt syncing with the car and staying connected

Mine works for the most part. It can be flaky but will do until the iPhone 5 comes out

My problem is, when I get a call, it doesn't go to the bluetooth, I can answer it with the car but the call goes to the phone instead of the car.

my problem still is that when im listening to music through bluetooth on my Thunderbolt and then send or receive a phone call after the call has ended the stereo then goes to AUX setting not bluetooth... so then i have to click through the buttons on the stereo and select bluetooth audio again... so painful... anyone figure this out yet?!

What has worked for me is to completely delete both systems from each other. (delete the phone from the head unit and visa versa). Then re-attach them and magically it works. If there's a bug in the connection now, there's now way to massage it out. Start fresh and pray that they decide to work well with each other.

Mine does this, too. It may be a fuction/issue with the car, not the phone.

I hope this isnt hijacking the thread but does anybody have a problem hooking up to the PDIM to play music from their Thunderbolt?

ICEMAN 316 · 01-02-2012, 03:18 PM

No, never had an issue with the bluetooth music stream. Only had problem with bluetooth phone connection.
