Try this This is what motorola said to do: 1.) Install as suggested in the "getting started" pamphlet 2.) You will probably have issues at step 24 "discover devices" This is because windows XP SP2 took over the device and used it's "generic bluetooth radio" driver - not the CSR bluetooth required by MPT. To Fix: 1.) Make sure the bluetooth dongle is physically connected 2.) Disable Bluetooth Enumerator - Goto Device manager To get to go to My computer View System Information (upper left side) Click on "Hardware" tab Click on "Device Manager" button - Expand "Bluetooth" devices - Right Click on "Enumerator" - Click on "Disable" 3.) Install the Correct Driver (update Driver) - Right Click on "Generic Bluetooth Radio" (still in device manager) - Click on "update Driver" (this opens up Wizard) - Choose "install from a list or specific location" & click NEXT - Choose "Don't Search. I will choose the driver to install" & Next - Choose "CSR USB Bluetooth Device" & Next - Click "Finish" - YOUR GOOD TO GO! Now if you start up the Mobile Phone Tools and continue with the "getting started" pamphlet from step #20 (Start Mobile Phone Tools), everything should work ok (I hope!). It worked for me. I have the same setup.

If all you want to do is transfer files like Pics or Videos to and from the PC you can use the SW that came with your BT adapter from CompUSA. Since you didn't mention it I am wondering if you are using Win XP w/SP2? If so you may need to reload the drivers that came with the BT adapter. The drivers that come with the SP2 update for Windows may not provide the full functionality that is possible with the drivers that came with the adapter. Cheers TC
Posts: n/a Re: V551 Bluetooth setup Hey Thanks Folks!  I can't say that I'm out of the woods yet but I can see the edge. Oliver: The DUN was needed to hook up software to the v551. It seem to communicate via the com port. Mooseki: Great intructions on th Driver changes needed. BruceR: The BLOG was a great help with th settings. I'm very disappointed in the amount of information Motorola gives yo to make this work. "settings > connections > Bluetooth Link > setup good luck"! :ah: BruceR - maybe your BLOG will help others with the Driver and the DU info - ? Thanks again - I'll be back.

Posts: n/a Re: V551 Bluetooth setup I'm back...So I was able to use the USB dongle's Bluetooth neighborhood to move data and one contact at a time between the PC and the Phone. Then I tried FMA - it connects but I can't use it to sync the phone book and calendar etc. the UPLOAD and DOWNLOAD buttons are grayed out. I can load up the screen with contact info from outlook but that's as far as it goes. MPT has been crashing on me complaining about BTTray invalid license type. So I'm staying away from that for now. One problem at a time. Not very impressed by this V551. MG

It would be no suprise to me that it doesn't work with the V551. TC
