Windows Phone 7 And Mk7 Bluetooth?

Featured Replies

Hello,

I have a new Samsung Omnia 7 running the new Windows Phone 7 OS.

The phone is fantastic but i'm having awful problems trying to pair it

with my Fiesta mk7 '59 Bluetooth Handsfree. Sometimes once in a blue moon

I have paired it but it drops the connection after a few mins.

More often than not I cant get them to pair at all.

My old phone an HTC Diamond works perfectly.

I've tried everything i can think of from disconnecting the car battery

to taking the car in today for a bluetooth update. All to no avail.

So the question is could the phone be faulty?

Has anybody got one of these phones or any other Windows Phone 7 mobiles

to work with the mk7?

Thanks for any help,

Mark.



I doubt the phone is faulty, just a glitch when you have bluetooth and many, many devices to communicate with.

When we first got the Fiesta, both me and the wife had a Tocco, bought at the same time and set up exactly the same. It would read the names on the phonebook when connected to mine but only the numbers on the wife. Changed every setting, tried pairing and unpairing, changing the phones over, sims over everything, but it just wouldn't read the names on the wife's phone.

It wouldn't read the names on the HTC Desire I now have, but since a recent update to the phone, it works perfectly now.

it does sound like a phone issue. try updating the firmware on the phone and see if this helps...if it doesnt, it will be a compatablility issue and will be a waiting game for an update on either phone or headunit to work.

The bluetooth phone connection is by Nokia and some phones just don't work.

You can look it up on the Ford website it will tell you what phones are compatible.

Colin.
