Default BlueSTAR 2010

Anybody else got one of these? Mine came yesterday and while I'm not sure I have the mic level adjusted right (I tried 2 down from the default) there seems to be a more fundamental problem; the unit never stops trying to pair with my iphone. Which of course ran my Z06 battery down overnight.

This is contrary to the documentation which implies pairing will only occur when the car is turned on or for one minute when you initiate manual pairing by pressing the multi-function (onstar) button.

Just to follow up, I sent my BlueSTAR back today. It's a 100% guaranteed battery killer and it also has echo issues.

It's a great idea and I sincerely hope they figure out how to make it behave with the C6. But based on my experience of having tech support tell me multiple times they'll have news the next day and then waiting days/weeks with no communications, let's just say I'm skeptical.

I'm doing some testing for them. They are reportedly working on a firmware re-write, but I have not received it yet. Last I spoke to them, they told me that it a bit more complicated than they first thought, and was going to take a while to fix. I'll post more info as soon as I know anything.

The Blue Tooth link portion of it works fine for me and I have no problem with the way it functions. It just isn't shutting off properly.
