Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / January 2007Blue tooth??
This is something I know nothing about(along with a ton of other things). Anyway the Charger has it. I have to get a cell phone that has it as well. That's as far as I go. What do ya have to do to operate them? Do they kinda initialize themselves like a key fob? I have a month or two to get this understood. tia Roy I thought it was blue spray paint for your teeth <BFG>  Signature---------------------------- -Chris 05 CTD 06 Liberty CRD Real Trucks don't NEED spark plugs. > This is something I know nothing about(along with a ton of other things). > Anyway the Charger has it.

Most of us have teeth here. You must be thinking of Alabama. Did you know the toothbrush was invented in Alabama? Anywhere else it would have been called a teethbrush.

Wanted to see if you southerners could drive both left and right.<VBG> Roy Pretty much. The vehicle should have a button that can be used to put it into binding mode which should be written out in your owners manual. There may also be a code that will need to be entered into the phone but you will have to look at the documentation for both of them. Once set up, it is great.

When the phone and the car both have it, you can do stuff like make calls and answer your phone through the car stereo. The idea is that the stereo becomes an extension of the phone. >> This is something I know nothing about(along with a ton of other >> things). Anyway the Charger has it.

Depending on your system, if your phone rings the stereo will mute and you will hear it thru the stereo sound system as well and then all you need to do is press the blue tooth button (wherever it is) and the phone will answer and you will be able to speak and hear the caller hands free thru your vehicle sound system. If the phone you buy supports voice commands (and most blue tooth phones do) all you will need to do is press that same activation button and the phone will ask you for a command thru the vehicles sound system. You can then tell it who to call (on your phone list) and it will do it hands free or you can check your battery or signal strength and the phone will tell you what they are. Like I said, it's pretty cool. SignatureIf at first you don't succeed, you're not cut out for skydiving Depending on your phone, once it is paired with your car, you may have to press a button to re-link it (not the intial pairing, usually just select the yes or no option) whenever you take it out of blue tooth range, then re-enter range. I think most phones can be set to automatically re-link with any paired device whenever you come into range. If the various devices support it, you can also pair multiple devices together (for instance 1 car paired with 2 phones or 2 cars paired with 2 phone, 1 phone paired with a car and an ear-bug, etc.). >> >> This is something I know nothing about(along with a ton of other >> >> things).

Like I said, it's pretty cool. Generally, you have to set a code (your choice) on both the car stereo and the phone so they only talk to each other. You don't want the guy in the lane next to you yapping on his phone coming through your stereo. But once you do that, it's pretty much automatic. Pretty cool stuff. > Depending on your phone, once it is paired with your car, you may have > to press a button to re-link it (not the intial pairing, usually just [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] >> strength and the phone will tell you what they are.

My Treo 650 automatically connects to the U-Connect as soon as I turn the key on. No buttons to push. > Yes it does and if your phone supports it, hands free dialing as well. > Depending on your system, if your phone rings the stereo will mute and you [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > will do it hands free or you can check your battery or signal strength and > the phone will tell you what they are. Like I said, it's pretty cool. With Dodges U-Connect system the phone does not need to support voice commands in order to dial using voice commands. The U-Connect system has its own support for that. While my phone does have voice command support I have never set it up. I use the U-Connects voice prompts and all works great. The phone list is stored in the U-Connect rather than using the list in my phone. So, any Blue Tooth enabled phone paired to the Dodge U-Connect system will use the same voice prompts to place a call? If so, that's pretty neat! Do you need to include 10 digits (area code + 7) in the U-Connect system to accommodate roving cell phones? > With Dodges U-Connect system the phone does not need to support voice > commands in order to dial using voice commands.

If so, that's pretty neat! > Do you need to include 10 digits (area code + 7) in the U-Connect system to > accommodate roving cell phones? Yep! The voice prompts are the same in every U-Connect vehicle regardless of the phone used. You need to store the numbers in the U-Connect exactly how they need to be dialed, including 1, or area code etc. To have it dial a stored number you say "CALL" and then say the name of the person and then "WORK", "HOME" or "MOBILE". You can also tell it to dial a number by saying the word "DIAL" and then the number. Voice recognition is very good. You do not train it to your own voice. It seems to work with most people except those with a heavy southern accent. > So the phone become hands free? You never have to touch your phone at all. The only button you push is your trucks U-Connect button to either answer an incoming call or to make a call using voice command. >This is something I know nothing about(along with a ton of other things). >Anyway the Charger has it.

I have Bluetooth in both my Dodges and love it. Somewhere Dodge has a list of tested phones that are compatible with Mopars U-Connect bluetooth. I have a Treo 650 and a Treo 700 which both work great. The first time you use your phone with your car you have to do whats called Pairing. It's a way for your truck and phone to initialize communication. Normally you enter a 4 digit code into the phone and use voice commands to enter the same code into the U-Connect on your truck. Once thats done you won't have to do that again. Once paired you push the U-Connect button (Normally on your mirror) and follow the voice prompts to store names and phone numbers, dial a number, call a particular name etc. > This is something I know nothing about(along with a ton of other things). > Anyway the Charger has it.

Roy > You folks always come through, Thanks for all the info! > > Now I have to decide on a phone. Do you currently have cell phone service? If you already have sprint I can tell you how to get a bargain on the phone of your choice. I got a Treo 650 last year for $100. Typical price for a Treo is $400-$500 or with contract about $300 or so. Along with being a phone it also has internet browsing, email, and views many windows files etc. >> You folks always come through, Thanks for all the info! >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > with contract about $300 or so.

I'm going to go with Cingular as it seems to be the carrier of choice in the area of FL I'll be running around in. Also it works well along I-95. As for phones, I really don't have any desire for all the bells and whistles. I've been looking hard at a motorola V 365. Seems to be well thought of going by the review's I've read. But, I've more looking to do. > Thanks Miles. I'm going to go with Cingular as it seems to be the carrier of > choice in the area of FL I'll be running around in. Also it works well along > I-95.

But, I've more looking to do. Take a look at this site from Dodge. It has some good info and a list of compatible bluetooth phones. It lists the V360 but not the V365 but most likely its just not up to date with newer phones. http://www.dodge.com/crossbrand/uconnect/dodge/interface.html >> Thanks Miles.

Suddenly, without warning, Roy exclaimed (09-Jan-07 3:14 AM): > This is something I know nothing about(along with a ton of other things). > Anyway the Charger has it.

But yea, follow the instructions, probably for the phone's bluetooth, you'll have to turn it on and get the two to talk to each other. Once they 'recognize' each other, you're golden. I think. But something to remember about bluetooth: If your phone has it on and you're carrying it around - in a crowd, perhaps - it'll likely connect to any other bluetooth device around. This is how cellphones get viruses. So remember to turn bluetooth off when not using it. I got a bluetooth headset, but never really use it, so the above is about my total experience with the technology. jmc > Suddenly, without warning, Roy exclaimed (09-Jan-07 3:14 AM): >> This is something I know nothing about(along with a ton of other things).

It will find the Bluetooth receiver in the car. Have it "paired" and you're done. My son uses his in his Cjarger all the time. Simple. |
