Blue Tooth Connection

Who is your cell phone provider and what phone! If it is Verizon you need to up grade your phone but you will never be able to upload the phone book. My advice is leave Verizon if you can and go to another provider, not everyone can.

I had a similar problem (Sprint/pm-325). My recollection is that after answering the call on my phone, a phone menu was available so that I could transfer the call to the car or select automatic transfer. Having selected automatic transfer my phone rings thru the car audio. You may have a similar capability. Look around.

Harry, I wish you would have posted this information earlier. I'll be experimenting with my Sprint LG PM-325 first thing in the morning. I never paid much attention to that menu in the past, although I have manually transfered calls from the phone to the car and vice versa..

 

Follow up:

This morning, I went through every menu on the Sprint LG PM-325 both during calls and while the phone was on standby. I could not find any "Automatic" audio transfer option, only a plain "Audio Transfer" function which permits me to manually transfer calls between the phone and the Hands Free system. The phone will still not ring through the car's audio system.

It seems that every phone out there works differently with this system. Mine rings through the car even if I have it set to vibrate or silent.

 

IsrAmeriPrius, I don't have my phone available right now so I can't experiment, but, recollection is that the auto-transfer option is available from the same options menu as the a single transfer. It may be that auto-transfer is only available while the phone is ringing.

I tested it with incoming calls (my daughter was in the car with me calling my cell phone from hers) and only saw a single "Audio Transfer" option, when I answered the call with the phone. I then transfered the call to the Handsfree set; the selection lasted only for the duration of the call. The next time I'll answer with the Handsfree device and check to see if different options are offered on the phone menu.

P.S. I do have the latest LG PM-325 firmware, v18, which I downloaded two weeks ago.

 

IsrAmeriPrius,

I cannot find an auto transfer menu now (or any way to revert the phone to handset answer). I suspect that I mis-read 'audio' as 'auto' and am lucky that my phone continues to transfer the call automatically.

 

Thanks.

Just to clarify matters.

I am able to make or answer calls using either the handset or the Handsfree system in the car.

The calls will not transfer automatically from the phone to the car if I enter and start the car while I am in the middle of a phone call. The system does recognize that I am on the phone, as the MFD will display the call in progress screen, with the volume control, and the stereo will mute.

By the way, a test of a call in progress transfer function from the car's Handsfree system to the handset shows the exact same menu options on the phone as during a transfer from the handset to the car's system.
