Blue & Me - Tech Info and questions and answers

Q: How do I manually download the phonebook? Have a Nokia 6233, paired up ok, but keeps giving me an error message when trying to do the phonebook bit?

I'll pop out when it stops raining and get the actual error message.....

best bet is to get in the car and turn it on, then manualy one by one, go to each contact and send business card by bluetooth to the car, its a bit long winded but it does work

Cheers WashinP, that did the job, all working now...

well i have the samsung d500 with is listed as a potentialy compatable phone.
This works with the system i.e i can make and receive calls but i am unable to transferphonebook contacts to the car and the sms reader does not work either.
I think this is due to the samsung d500 having bluetooth v1.1 and to get full compatability you need blue v1.2 or above.
can some one let me know if this is right as my contract renewal is up in a month so looking at which new phone to get to be compatable with myc ar :-)

oops wrong thread lol nm

The link to the compatibility list, whilst useful, doesn't seem to lead to the same list as following the links on the Fiat.com website. The individual phone listings come up in Italian buit are not hard to interpret if you don't speak it e.g. if it says SMS along with Si or No you can probably work it out ! The SMS doesn't work on my O2 XDA miniS but then the Fiat website says it won't (it's under Imate Kjam if you have one).
Also, is it me or does the car take a while to talk to the phone? I find I have to leave the ignition key in the "MAR" position (ie on) until the bluetooth icon appears in the dash. If I just just start up and drive off, it thinks the phone is not connected and doesn't appear to continually search for Bluetooth devices.

My Nokia 6111 hooked up to Blue&ME with no problems.

Does anybody know how to get Blue&ME to recognise playlists or albums. I converted a load of songs in playlists in iTunes to Mp3 and then dragged them into individual folders on my USB flash drive marked up as the album name/artist, but B&ME only recognised about 3 of them and when I press next on the steering wheel it jumps to the next album rather than the next track? mmm?? Any suggestions?

Hi
just joined forum
having problems with Blue & Me (who isn't?) Using a Nokia 6230i
worked perfectly for a few weeks then the volume dropped way off so i can hear perfectly but the person I'm calling can barely hear me ("like i'm at the end of a tunnel!")
anyone else have this problem?

not impressed with their iPod support, was guaranteed by the dealer that it would work with an iPod but it won;t, i had to buy an ice-link (Dension) to get the iPod working with it, now it works really well. incidentally my CD player won't play mp3 CDs, also was promised it would but has anyone else had this problem? looks like a trip back to Fiat is on the horizon

any ideas on the volume problem?

higginst

That was the only solution in the end mate, pain in the rear I know, but I just sat in the car, slapped a cd on, and spent an hour sending business cards.....

well i bit the bullet and did wt u sed....but gtta say...wasnt best plzed! lol....but also...everytime i go in the car it ses sycronisation nt done or somethin! y doesnt it jst wrk nicely? lol

Hi,

I have purchased a GP 1.2 Dynamic with Sykdome & New Orleans Blue paint.

Awaiting delivery date!

I never chose the option of Bluetooth media kit.

Does anybody know if i will have a USB port as Standard?

No the USB port is for blue&me, there may be a dealer diagnostic usb port, but as far as you are concerned, that does nothing. Blue&me is very good, don't know how much it is a option though.

Hi guys! Since a week I have a Grande Punto Edizione Blue & Me. The system worked pretty well, but suddenly today my car's phonebook memory was empty. I tried to register my phone (a Sony Ericsson W800i) again, but with no result: it starts copying the phonebook, but after a short period of time, when I try to make a call, I get the message that the memory is empty. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
