Just got asked by someone at work if I could set up his phone with the Bluetooth on his new Ford Mondeo Titanium. Trying to call someone with the voice activation and it kept saying directory empty. Turns out you have to manually store each individual contact in your phonebook by saying their name and then their number into the system and saving it. Took me about a minute to add one contact so would be extremely time consuming doing your whole phonebook!

Alright it might be a bit more accurate when you have done it but I think the Blue&Me system is a lot better that you can just copy the phonebook over and it recognises what you are saying straight away.

I'll leave him to sit in his car for a few hours now talking to the Bluetooth lady

Anyone else used any other Bluetooth systems?

The one in your friends Mondeo sounds like the system in my Civic, otherwise known as SH*t!!
Only really any good for answering calls not making them as you have to input all the info manually which is too time consuming. I have only a few contacts on mine as I couldn't be arsed doing any more.
I am hoping that the blue and me on my 500 (when it arrives) is better.

Picked up all contacts pretty quickly... even managed to handle when my mates at work changed the Mrs's name on my phone to "Her who cooks the meat"....

I assume this is the blue and me system that you are talking about?
If so sounds as if it will be a million times better than Honda's.

Yes, it's the Blue and Me as fitted to the Bravo.

I have the same in my Civic - I find the best thing to do - when she's not trying to speak German at me is to dial a number actually on the phone, then immediately disconnect it. Then say to the woman 'redial'. 95% of the time she gets it right, apart from when she responds in French :bang:
