Bluetooth Phone Compatibility

[Hubertus]

Somebody said earlier that Nokia E70 works with the BT. I have this phone and at works once in a while. It is connecting to the system, but when I make a call or a call is coming in, the device disconnects itself. Any ideea why? What is the version of the software you have on your car? Or on the phone...

Hi Hubertus,
I am currently using a Nokia E70 with my Toledo (Altea) BT kit.
I have had no problem with maintaining a reliable connection, however, as I have previously mentioned, (as seems common to all Symbian smart phones), the phonebook download does not work, unlike the Series 40 phones tha I have used (6280, 6233).
My E70 firmware is the original and only version 1.0610.05.07 (30-05-06) - having said that it is the only version, I believe a new one has just been released, but it is cr*p and creates more problems than it fixes!!

Never checked the car BT s/w version - how do you do that? - never had it upgraded either.
Cheers,
John.

Jaytee: how old is your car? When was it manufactured?

Hi,
I took delivery of it on 15th December 2005 and it was built to order (as I had a load of options put on it), but I can't remebr the exact week it was scheduled to be built.
Cheers, John.

I just had a look at the Seat compatibility site as i'm looking to change my phone, I notced that at the bottom is says 'Valid for hands-free Control Unit Version: B 0060' .Does anybody know how to check this or is this something the dealer has to do. Also if an older model is installed is this a software change or hardware? Klawit any idea?

Cheers
Rich

I managed to get my Sony Ericsson working the first time i connected it, worked fine. Since then every 30 seconds it looses sync then re-connects.... over and over again, this is getting really annoying. reading here people have advised turning Power Saving off, but this has always been the case. I have spoken to my dealer but they gave me their usual response "bring it in and will try to take a look".
Does anyone on here have any ideas i can try as i am new to the idea of hands free car kits..... although the idea is fantastic

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Bit of an update, I am changing jobs and the ALTEA has to go back to the leasing company, but the new company will let me have a new one. Whilst checking out the current specs it transpires they no longer offer the BT it as an option on the ALTEA as they have had lot's of issues. Mine was booked in for a check as it keeps dropping the connection but as it's going I decided to cancel the appointment.

I will have to get a 3rd party solution for the new wheels.

I apologize for bumping an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone has any info regarding updates in the compatibility list? At least for the Symbian Nokias.

Thanks

Edit: Well, it seems that SEAT has done a couple of updates since last year.

Here's the new list:

I visited my local dealer with a view to having the software on my BT Toledo(Altea) 2007 updated to work with my Nokia N86 8Mp, but after checking they came to the conclusion that there was no update for the BT on my model of vehicle. When I first booked the car in they did not know what I was taking about. Has any of the members had any experience of having the softwear updated and if so who do I contact to get it done or advice that I can give to my dealer, Surely, there must be a way out of this problem without changing my phone. Cheers aggie

I had the BT kit updated on my 55 reg (Dec 2005) Toledo in around 2007?
Atthat time I had to convinc e them that an update was available, they checked and then ordered it from SEAT.

Jaytee, did they do it through the OBD? I'm interested as I no longer have the original HU in the car (but am still using the factory BT unit).

Hi n_olympios,

Yes, through the OBD port, just like any other diagnostic or firmware update of the vehicle.
Just be insistent that they:
a: check your existing version no.
b: check out what the current version is.

Your head unit change should not make any difference to the process, as far as I am aware.

Cheers,
John.

Will do, thanks for the reply. This simplifies things for me.
