I used a Samsung SGH-A437. It took me 2 days trying to synch the phone with Nuvi and just now it finally paired. I realised both the phone and the unit would be paired faster if they are fully charged or both connected to AC charger! Then I found out "No data available. note: not all phones support this feature." Now I don't know if I should return it!! I bought the GPS for bluetooth usage!!!!

I don't have a blackberry, but with RAZR, it works marvelously - never had any disconnects. I have 2 RAZR's, and only one can be selected. I assume the problem is due to Blackberry's handling of bluetooth, as not all devices are the same.

I'm trying to determine if my iPhone will be compatible with this unit before I buy it. Is there a list of supported phones anywhere? Also, is text messaging supported? I'd like a Bluetooth enabled GPS to read out text messages when they are received by a paired phone. Will this unit do that?

I believe it was advertised as having this feature, but it doesn't seem to work that way. It does reconnect with your phone automatically when you re-enter the car if you leave it on, but it wore the battery down the one time I left it on for more than a day. Also, if I park the car in the garage, the BlueAnt answers incoming calls in the car when I and the phone are in the house and if I try to make a call from inside the house the outgoing call goes through the BlueAnt, so I have to turn it off manually when I am at home.

That's really more a question of whether or not your phone has that capability. Voice commands work through the bluetooth connection, and things like google nav work through the bluetooth. So if your phone is already doing this through another bluetooth device, it will continue to do so on this bluetooth device.

I leave it on all the time, but I always have to go into my Bluetooth setting to reconnect, it only takes a couple second cause it's already on my device list, but I do have to reconnect everytime I use it

I found out (after I bought it of course) that only the models that have bluetooth have voice recognition, it seemed odd to have something like that tied to having bluetooth, I have the one with lifetime maps + traffic (no bluetooth) and don't have the feature.

While it does when bluetooth is left on (it takes about 30 seconds for this to work) I do not leave my bluetooth on when away from my car. It wastes the battery. I recommend going into bluetooth settings during the walk to the car to connect as soon as your phone finds the MPOW.

My experience with BlueTooth connection is: this happens a lot, when this happens, I usually turn off the phone, wait 10 seconds, and power the phone back would re-establish the connection. Note that BlueTooth I s not. Very tight specification, each vendor produces BlueTooth devices within the loose specification. I own a Jabari that works great with all my family's phone, except mine. The Motorola works great with my phone, go figure. Good luck.

I agree with the first answer but on my phone which is a note 2 I have to reconnect any time I turn off the radio or switch to a different function the Bluetooth shows up on the phone as AS-BT200

The product has a sensor that will connect automatically upon re-entering the car. The device will say "attempting to connect" when you open the door or unlock the door to get in. Then - it will connect and say "connected". The device will go to 'sleep' after leaving the car. The only thing to watch for that if your car is very close to where you are with the phone - it will stay connected within a certain range...but you can always turn Bluetooth off on your phone.

This might not be 100% accurate...but I bought this for a friend of mine who doesnt have any other devices at all...and she said sometimes it pairs automatically and sometimes not.Ive also got one...and Im paired with 10 other BLuetooth Devices....I also find that sometimes its auto and sometimes not..although it only take a few seconds...I usually turn blue tooth off and back on from my phone..and it finds it right away

dsrussell; do you think that there might be to many issues with the the nuvi 255w right now? The ( system software missing ) occurance seems to seems to be showing up more and more on these units. Thanks in advance any thoughts you have on this issue.

You can see all the connectors on users guide, but bluetooth connections sometimes do not work!

The app says it's connecting via Bluetooth LE. Should work fine. I use mapmyride with no problems.

Works with my BlackBerry Pearl 8130 but only if I set the Pearl to be "discoverable" in Bluetooth. Otherwise, it won't stay connected for more than a few seconds. I'm not sure if it's the Pearl's fault or the BT-359. Works with BlackBerry Maps and Google Maps. Very accurate--worst I've seen is it was off by a few meters.

I believe this does not work with a Blackberry. This is the USB model which is designed to plug into a laptop or desktop computer. There is also the Speak 510 model ( http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-SPEAK-510-Bluetooth-Softphone/dp/B00AQUO5RI/ ) which has bluetooth connectivity in addition to USB- so assuming your Blackberry has bluetooth, I would recommend that instead. It's more expensive but it works like a champ.

I have had mine for over a year now. I use it daily and every now and again I have this problem.Usually shutting off the speaker, restarting it, then reestablishing the bluetooth connection works. Sometimes shutting off and restarting the music source works. A couple of times the speaker appeared to be paired to my device when it was actually paired with another device in the house and not the one I thought. Turning off or disconnecting the unwanted device and then reconnecting the bluetooth to the device you are using works. Lastly, there have been times when I couldn't resolve the issue in the moment, so I just turned it off and waited awhile and whatever was wrong seems to resolve itself.

I've never updated the firmware on the Bluetooth adapter but thanks for the idea! I'm running the bt300 on a kvt514 deck and the problem I have with my iphone is that I always have to connect to the bt300 from my phone. Never had to shut down the deck though. Try the firmware update sorry for not being much help
