I read that the i-Bolt series does NOT route phone calls through the car stereo system, is there one that does or a way to make this work?

Unfortunately because of Samsungs current firmware, there is no way to route phone calls through a microUSB to 3.5 input solution.

It works for me. One thing weird about the dock is that all audio is sent to the the aux jack EXCEPT for phone calls. No sound comes out of the phone speakers unless you make a phone call. You can use the speakerphone function, but the call may not be loud enough for you. So, if you have the phone connected to the dock, you need to have either the AUX or Bluetooth selected on your car stereo and the unit turned on, or you will hear nothing.

I would locate your PDIM that looks like the one in the picture. I am not sure where it is on your car. How do you use the stereo to hook up to the Iphone, does a voice talk you through it? If so, it may work like previously stated.

I also had to return my H20 Bolt, because I was not able to get any signals on their modem. I went with Verizon internet service. You need a landline phone for that, but I have unlimited service for one monthly fee, and if there any problems they will fix it.

Which app you use does not matter because the car kit has no integration with the navigation app. I use IGO primo navigation app with my iPhone. You just connect the car kit to your phone via bluetooth. Then the audio output of your phone is directed to the car kit's speaker.

The gauntlet connects to your phone by Wi-Fi as it's an access point, like your wireless router. I'm not clear how your phone connects to your car's stereo, but if it's a headphone jack you should be ok. Whether your phone can do data and Wi-Fi at the same time might be an issue

You can connect one phone at a time. If there are two phones with Bluetooth in the car it will connect to the first phone it happens to see. For example, if it sees my phone first it will not drop the connection and reconnect to my wife's phone if she gets an incoming call. To get that to work I would need to turn off Bluetooth on my phone and wait for it to attach to her phone. Then it may attach to her phone. As far as I can tell there is no 'prioritization' scheme for it to connect to more than one phone in response to events like the phone ringing or to select a preferred phone for outgoing telephone calls.

Not sure but you can Bluetooth Pandora from your android and it shows up on the indash receiver. Android does have the app radio but the problem for me is I have a galaxy s 3 and they dont have a cable that has a component video that I can connect to the in dash receiver to use the app radio.

I bough this for BMW 125i with standard head unit but it does not work. Head unit requires to recognize the iPod connected to the wire before it switches from AUX to IPod mode. The Bluetooth receiver doesn't seem to emulate itself as an IPod. I have bought to adapters (this and another brand) and neither works.

Yes. You have to pier the Bluetooth of your cell phone to the system first. Once it is done, you make and receive call.It works like the inbuilt Bluetooth in cars. Follow the manual, which is easy and simple. Good luck.

The Bluetooth only works with phone calls. It does not allow music streaming from the Bluetooth enabled devices. The navigation provides basic turn by turn directions. It does not speak the street names. I hope the Information is helpful to you.

Let me say this for anyone who is wondering. All this does is broadcast whatever audio is coming through your source through an fm channel on your car. It has an ipod connector as well as a headphone cable output for any non ipod device. As long as your device has one of those two it should work perfectly. And yes you can use it for speaker phone. I suggest a bluetooth headset. The arm extends from the cigarette lighter so all you have to do is reach forward and hit accept for incoming call.

My android does not work with pandora on the headunit, but I'm still on ICS and I don't have the full version of pandora. Sony's website claims both work.

My car has a display that shows incoming call, so I push that. I believe there is a button on the device that you push. It has worked well

I won't think so. I never tried sending / receiving messages? when the car is running, it's hard to understand the sound.

Not sure if this specific unit will work, but isimple should have a version that does - just need to do the research. i will say once installed, the unit performs great! Plug it in and any music on your phone or internet radio is at your fingertips. if you get a phone call while music is blaring, there is a defeat that mutes/stops the music, so you can take the call. Once completed, hanging up the phone will immediately unmute the music you were playing. Does the same with navi on your phone.

Not necessarily. When calls come in on my 2011 S5 it stops the music, but the call comes in on the phone, not the car speakers. if you switch it to speakerphone it automatically switches back to regular phone. It's really annoying so I just turn off bluetooth at that point and use the speakerphone. It also periodically drops the bluetooth for 10-15 seconds maybe once every 15-20 minutes.
