There is a problem with the "Answer" button on the steering wheel not working to answer an incoming call. Sometimes it works but most times it does not. I'm waiting to see if there are any other bugs in the car before taking it in as a warranty item (i have less than 2000 miles on my 2010 coupe).
I think if you search on "bluetooth" in this forum you will find others with similar problems waiting for an updated firmware from the factory.

That push to talk button was driving me nuts for the first two weeks on my 2010 vert. For incoming calls, hold it down until you hear the incoming ring stop and then you can talk. To make a call out hold it down similarly for about 2.5 to 3 seconds. It works!

there is a slight delay on any cell phone and any bluetooth. Some more slight then others. I guess when there is a route from my phone to the cars system to a tower to another tower to another cell phone a little delay is exceptable.

i have similar problems with my 09 Z, phone locks up when it is in the car the touch screen has a horrible delay10 seconds or more sometimes. Answering with the steering wheel controls also doesnt always work. It is a real pain in the rear, to the point that Idont even want to use it.
Is there a fix? Oh and I have a HTC Touch Pro 2

Bluetooth is a great feature in my 2009. There is one irritating element when you use the voice dialing feature.
One would think that when you press the talk button you could just say dial (and a name in your phone book) and off you go.
The following is necessary just to initiate a call:
You say "Bluetooth"
the system will respond Bluetooth ready
You Say "voice"
the system will respond voice using (name of the phone)
now you can say "call Joe Smith"
Can the system be set up so you can just say "call Joe Smith" after you hit the phone button?

An observation: if I say "dial" it is looking for a number. If I say "call" I can follow with a name.
My recent irritation is that it has stopped giving me the number of incoming callers in the DIC. It just says "unknown caller". Later I'll look at my iPhone and the number information is present.

Does it work? You should try and pair it again. Sound like it may not have paired correctly. I had a similar issue and I cleared it from the system and paired it again and it worked fine.

If you want to use voice dialing utilizing your cell phone's address book you have to go through the rather cumbersome protocol as I described above.

On our 09 I stopped using my iPhone as everyone had trouble hearing me and I had the volume so loud when they talked it boomed in the cabin. This is with both the older iPhone 3G and the lasted iPhone 4

I had an iPhone 3GS when I first got my 2010 GS and it worked fine, now I have upgraded to the iPhone 4 and it works fine also. Previous posts are correct, you must hold the answer button down for a couple of seconds to answer a call - works great.
