Default Bluetooth fixed!

As you may recall, my 2009 Vette went into the shop again. The defective Nav unit which was replaced a few weeks ago was apparently replaced with a 2008 unit causing my Bluetooth steering wheel controls not to function. The repair tech had to jump through numerous hoops to figure this out, but finally received authorization to order a new Nav unit. Kudos to the repair tech who did such a great job and had to deal with a lot of red tape from the GM tech support group. Just heard my OEM replacement windshield is in and I will get that replaced Friday (I was the recipient of a flying rock strike on the road). Merry Christmas!!

Heading out to the garage to connect (hopefully) my Blackberry 8330 to my '09. Linked it to my Range Rover yesterday in about 30 seconds...will keep my fingers crossed. Film at 11...

Peace, out.

TBD.....On your Blackberry, go into the phone options and set the blue tooth to be visable and able to be found. I have 2 cars with Bluetooth and it took me a while to find the right setting. The phone now knows which car I'm in automatically.

With only one set up only that car would find it every time. Now it goes thru the list of devices I have paired in the past. Toyota, Vette, ear piece. What ever is on gest found and connected to.

Good luck. That Blackberry has way too much stuff buried in hard to find places.

Glad to hear all is well ~ ref your windshield replacement...make sure you check your rearview mirror for a "wiggle" after the install. The mirror incorperates a very poor cam-lock design...typically, after a removal/install, its not uncommon for a slight - but very annoying wiggle to develop - you won't notice it until actually driving the vehicle.

Glad you mentioned it. I will definitely be sure to check for that problem. Thanks again!

My iPhone 3G works perfect with my '09 2LT except when trying to answer an incoming call if the phone is locked (my company IT forces this policy after 5 min because of exchange). At that point you have to do some tapping on phone menus to get unlock and switch to the right source. No issues if the phone isn't locked. Dialing while locked works perfect and crystal clear.
