Has anyone tried the new Iphone 4 w the Cruiser II? Wondering if the new phone or new cruiser II present the same problem.

Just bought Jabra Cruiser and it does not use the name from my address book. Am I doing something wrong? (iphone 3GS with ios4).

There's something 'ODD' about this issue of the CRUISER not announcing the Name of the incoming caller with iOS4 devices. Mine does the same thing... however, I can VOICEDIAL the iPhone 4 via the CRUISERS internal Microphones, and that MUST be accessing the Phone Book onboard the iPhone 4. So how is it that it CAN access the Phone Book to do one thing, but CANNOT access it to do another thing?Thanks if anyone has a Tip or Trick to make this work...

update.Jabra seems to be throwing this back to Apple. Their response..."We've found that many cell phone manufacturers implemented the Bluetooth Phone Book Access Profile incorrectly, causing issues like yours. There may be updated software available for your phone [I've updated to the latest OS last night] Jabra is working together with all cell phone manufacturers to ensure Bluetooth specification compliance across the board. Since the issue lies within your phone, unfortunately there's nothing else that Jabra can to to rectify the situation"

I have two Jabra Cruiser units and with my old HTC Touch Pro 2 the Cruisers announced the name of the caller. With my new iphone 4 (Verizon) they don't; they only announce the caller's telephone number ..... and of course by the time the Cruiser has gotten around to starting to announce the number you've probably gotten impatient and glanced at the phone and know who's calling anyway. And if you haven't, by the time the Cruiser has finished reciting the number the call will most likely have gone to voicemail !!! Extremely aggravating.

Recently purchased a Cruiser2 .. using with an iPhone 4s .. does NOT announce names, only number. :(

I can't get it to announce the name either. Jabra tech support responded to my question saying that the phone must support PBAP profile. My research says that the iPhone DOES support this profile, and have asked Jabra to respond. Still awaiting response.(I can't believe that they haven't tested their product with the iPhone!!!)doug

I found a fix for this, I have tried it with the iphone 5 and 4 and works for both. Its seems to be a problem recognizing area codes. For example if the entry is John Smith +44 78910112 take out the +44 and replace with 0. Names then announce perfectly.

I'm an Android user. For my phone when a call comes in it rings on the phone and on Renny. Depending on your phone Renny will announce the phone # of the incoming call. If you answer the call from your phone it defaults to your phone's speaker. But there is an option to switch to Renny (on my phone it is called a Bluetooth Headset, which isn't quite accurate but good enough) and use it as a speakerphone. It is easy to switch back and forth. If you answer the phone call with Renny it defaults to Renny as the speakerphone.

I haven't used that feature if it indeed has it. I will say 99% that it doesn't. It's a good phone. I actually used it to replace a $3k clunky system a local vendor sold me upon opening my business that proved useless. We use this phone at a retail store & restaurant- it handles all of our incoming calls quite well & the caller ID has proven very useful for pesky marketing calls while trying to do business without announcing it aloud. Best of luck!

I use the Bluetooth feature all the time. It works seamlessly with my iPhone. Just pair your phone with the receiver once, then whenever you want to listen to audio from your iPhone change the source to Bluetooth. Works for any audio your iPhone plays: music, audio books, audio from videos. Also it works pretty well for phone calls.

While paired, my iPhone still rings, and the ring does not come through the speaker system, nor does the phone call if I answer it. However, the dings I receive when I get an email play through the speaker system, instead of on my iPhone. The speaker does not have a microphone - it is a speaker only.

I don't have an IPhone, but the stereo doesn't have Bluetooth, by itself It may with the extra parts that allow you to use the iPhone, but I'm unsure. The stereo is awesome; I purchased mine last August and its still perfect, which Is highly.unusual in a Marine environment. Other than the cover, mine is fully exposed to all the rain and salt spray.

It only announces the number. I'm using it with an iPhone, so it may be different with other phones.

I have occasionally had the same problem. This one seems to have a delay. I have that problem, but not all the time... so I'm guessing there's a delay and you only hear it ring if the person doesn't pick up on the first ring or two (that's just a guess though.) I had the original Roadster and had no issues with it, but this second version constantly frustrates me because of the delay (more when answering calls than calling out.)

Yes. I do it all the time. Everything works when it's plugged in. The sound of navigation apps comes thru the speakers too. It's basically like charging it, or docking it on a radio dock. It's just charging it and redirecting sound to your car. (phone calls wont come thru the speakers just by having it docked...it will if you plug in chord into the headphone jack on the Iphone, and the other end of that wire into the headphone jack on the radio, then switch the mode on the radio).

No, it will just display what ever you have named your phone. Mine says John's IPhone.

its got the older connection to iPhone 4, and iPhone 4S. Maybe there is an adapter? Have you contacted Rode? I've heard their support is very good. You could also visit the Tape Op message board and inquire there. There are people who know tons, and Tape Op is where I hheard of the iXY in the first place, due to one of their reviews. Hope this helps a little bit.

Yes, it announces the Caller ID name. A call from a mobile phone is announced "Call from cell phone IL or IN or whatever state the area code is from ". Other calls are announces with the name that shows in Caller ID.

I do not have an iphone but the way I did it on my droid was: I turned on the speaker, then i went into my Bluetooth settings and i selected the device (jbl) that I wanted to connect to. Once the two devices were synchronized the Bluetooth icon on my phone went from white to blue. I then activated Pandora on my phone and started listening to radio. I hope this helps.

Okay, sorry for the delay, but I wanted to wait to see my iPhone6-carrying friend so I could pair his iP6 to my X3. What I did was, I went into Settings on his iP6, and selected Bluetooth. That makes the phone actively look for devices. Then, on my X3, I pressed the "Talk" button (NOT the PLAY button!) and held it until the device flashed "Talk" and "End" repeatedly. "Talk" is the BLUE PHONE button. When flashing, that means the device is attempting to pair with a specific phone. That took maybe five seconds. Once the phone showed "Connected", I pressed "play" and the music started. If this does not work, please email me back and we'll get it to work. iPhone6 may be a really cool phone, but at the end of the day, it's still just a phone like every other phone and should still pair with devices. BTW, once it's been successfully paired once, from then on, it should automatically pair whenever you turn on the device.

I actually like this feature as I know who is calling before picking up the handset. To answer your question if the answering system is set to two rings the unit does not announce the caller. If "Toll saver" feature is on, the unit does not announce the caller. The unit does announce the caller if the caller information is stored in the phonebook. I hope this helps.

Good morning, personally I use a iPhone, however I know people who simply connect the device via bluetooth to the ISFM22 and manually set the radio to match the factory preset on the hardware since the apple application won't work on their windows phone. I've had the product for several months and use it almost everyday. One thing I will caution you of is the toggle switch adapter that ships with the unit. The quality could be better and I was forced to replace it with an actual vehicle toggle switch after about a week of us. The product does everything it promises.

I bought an extra handset from Amazon.com (search for CIT400H on amazon.com) - the phone works great. I see they are out of stock now on Amazon.Interestingly, the extra handset has iPhone on the back (from the whole bruhaha between Apple and CISCO/Linksys about who had the right to use the name iPhone).
