Ericsson R520m with UConnect on T-Mobile

Posted: 09-13-2003, 03:26 PM
I've not been able to get my Ericsson R520m phone to use the UConnect
Bluetooth hands-free in my new Chrysler Town & Country. I've got the R2
firmware in the phone. Does anyone know if this setup works or if I might
need to upgrade to the R4 firmware?

I'm using this on the T-Mobile system. All the ads that I saw show this on
AT&T's system, but I really don't see why the system should matter.

Thanks for any help!
Glenn

I just talked to the Mopar service center for the UConnect system. It turns
out that the UConnect is compatible with only four phones! The list that
they say is the SonyEricsson T68i, Nokia 3650 and 6310i, and Siemans S56.
This is not on either the Mopar or Chrysler web sites. You don't find out
until you buy the product, have it installed, and call the help line. I've
even have purchased the Nokia 3650 instead of the R520m had I known. I got
the van before I ordered the phone. This is the description from the web
site:

UConnect Hands-Free System: includes a small control pad, microphone,
speaker, module and wiring harness. UConnect utilizes Bluetooth technology
which requires a Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile wireless phone.


Am I missing something here? I have a Plantronics hands-free that works fine
with the phone and one of the profiles is "port h-free". I would take h-free
to mean hands free, so it would appear to be compatible from what the add
says.

Am I really missing something here?? Or was I just taken for a ride. By
Chrysler.

Well, IMHO, Bluetooth was designed to be just that BLUETOOTH.
Intercompatibilty between Bluetooth devices is one of the built in
prerequisites of the Bluetooth doctrine. But I will say that using a r520m,
which was one of the original commercialy available phones with Bluetooth,
and that had problem after problem with different compatibility issues when
it first came out, I would definitely get the last flash for it, and also
consider something a little newer Bluetooth Phone wise before I throw my
hands up in disgust
