Which Phones have you been able to connect to CX9 Bluetooth?

[nj_jamaican]

Hi All,
Just bought my CX9 last night and was trying to connect my LG VX9800 but could not. The prior dealer that I was trying to buy the vehicle from hooked up his LG (different model) and called me from it before. So I think hwen I say LG, the car is looking to hook up with that phone which was stored in memory.

I want to change it but not sure how.. I will be reading the book today, however if anyone can help with how to disconnect or removea prior phone that was connected and start over, it will be greatly appreciated.

Additionally, please advise which phones you have been able to hook up to your CX9 bluetooth.

thanks

Ok Folks, I solved my issue, by deleting the prior connection and setting up a new phone.

Blackberry 8700 pairs up. Can't transfer Blackberry phone list to CX-9, but fine otherwise.

[wakblak]

Should make this thread a sticky...

[nj_jamaican]

Also hooked up my wife's Samsung a950. perfect reception.. I love this cars blue tooth..

[nguvanh]

Mine is SE810i works gr8.

[aciurczak]

Our CX-9 happily connected with my Blackberry Pearl (8100) and my wife's Blackberry 7100t.

[GrayZoom]

Anyone try a Samsung Blackjack? I can see Mazda on my phone, but Mazda can't see me. Hmm...

Edit...It was user error. :) I got it working now. So...Samsung Blackjack will pair up with the CX-9.

Samsung SYNC pairs up as well.

[FiveG]

Blackberry 8830 World Edition (Verizon) hooks up just fine.

[eldo64]

Motorola Q connected.

[KRT-1]

Cingular 8525 works great!

[lazyace13]

iPhone and Samsung Sync work fine!

[DashingMax]

Nokia 6255i works great with no problems!
update:
LG UX-830 which is also known as LG Glimmer (AX-830) works just fine!

[cx9er]

I was able to pair my Nextel i580 and my wife's Motorola e815 without a problem

[WaxiP5]

Samsung A900 and Sanyo Katana

[aarroneous]

Apple iPhone works very well. For those interested, I have the Griffin TuneFlex plugged into the AUX jack as well.

[mixmasterlove]

Has anyone tried the Treo ??

[romclean]

Has anyone tried the Treo ??

Works with my Treo 650

[totalcarnage]

Motorola ROKR works

[BladeZ]

Treo 680 and Samsung T629 (Both T-Mobile) work fine.

[todd92]

This is a lame thread. One guy has a problem because he didn't bother to read the directions. All phones work.

[ronmtec@mac.com]

I've gotten mine to pair up ok - but the CX-9 'forgets' the iPhone when the car gets turned off.

ex.
Pair the iPhone (works great) -

Does the CX remember the iPhone in the phone priority list? (yes).

Go through the verbal prompts to 'select' the iPhone from the list (it's number 1 in the priority list). (works swimmingly).

Make a call - take a call - through the steering wheel (works great - no pedestrians killed).

Get out of car and turn car off (yes, well... get on with it) -

Get back in the car and try to make a call (no link and no 'blue' bluetooth icon on the iPhone).

Verbally select the phone from the priority list (the CX sees the iPhone and turns the bluetooth icon on the iPhone blue - link is up and running and all is well).

So everything works as long as I don't turn off the car... this is gonna cost me a lot of gas.

Any thoughts?

Treo 755p

Interesting... Six posts before aarroneous reported: "Apple iPhone works very well". There are lots of known software issues with the iPhone, they have recently released the third software update. Read this thread on Bluetooth connectivity issues: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5316653

[dedmiston]

Nextel 7100i Blackberry works.

Sure, it's sort of lame. But at least it shows anyone having trouble that the odds are it's user error.

[OMF]

Samsung A706 vision phone (Rogers) works well with the Bluetooth integration.

[dedmiston]

Samsung Blackjack too.

[TinMan]

Moto V551 works. Getting new phones from Verizon soon. Probably LG 8350 or Moto W385s and will post results.

[davekingca]

No Problem with Motorola V360

Was having the same problem with my wife's iPhone. Did a restore of the phone and now seems to be fine.

[di33266]

Pantech C-150 works just fine

[Force-1]

My Samsung Blade (A900) paired and works just fine; however, it won't hang up with the steering wheel button. When I hold the button down for a long time (per OM), nothing happens, and I usually get "Listening" displayed. If I say cancel nothing happens either. I have to hang up by using the button on the phone.

Anyone have any ideas or solutions? Per the Mazda web site the A900 is fully compatible.

Thanks.

Fixed the problem. Per the Mazda Bluetooth tech department, I took both of my A900 phones to Sprint, they upgraded the software, and now the phones work perfectly.

[IanKen]

HTC Cavilier - no problems.

[Lindyrect]

Linked both my RIZR and RAZR v3 and set priorities on them too.

Nokia N80, although there's no battery or signal strength displayed on the screen

My Samsung A900 now displays the battery and signal strength after the software update. I placed a call today, and before connecting, the CX-9 voice said "Please note that your battery is low", or something similar to that.

[sixti]

Hello

I am able to connect my Nokia N95, with battery and signal
Getting my CX-9 on jan 04 08 at last!!!(wiggle)

[Force-1]

Just replaced my Samsung A900 with a Palm Centro. The Palm works perfectly.

[broomco]

Motorola V195s - quick and easy, and it was the first time I have done anything with bluetooth (in fact, didn't even know my phone had it).

[Born2Drive]

Blackberry 8830, Razor V3i, Sony Erisson 68i (I guess), Nokia e65, Cingular (HTC) 8125. Only issue I had with the nokia that it does not show signal strenght on the Nav Screen when in use. No problem with the actual use.

I have 2 apple iphones programmed. I wish there was a way to deactivate the prompts. The short press is great to shortcut the prompts.

LG VX 8300 works like a charm

[DPSpeed]

Nextel ic902 works great!

[bryancx9]

Everyone says I sound like I am in a tunnel on my phone and people have a hard time understanding me. Anyone have that issue with their phone? I have a feeling they damaged something when they added on the mirror with the garage door openers and dimmer.

[nj_jamaican]

two Q9m's - i got the hook up!!

[jabba]

Hookep up my wife's Moto Razr today, no issues--sounds good. Then hooked up my no-frills Nokia. It works, but it has an echo, i.e. I can hear the speaker repeating what I say. I can also kinda hear an echo with my bluetooth headset, so the problem is the cheap phone.

So phone quality plays a role here. Guess you get what you pay for...

[c_rex]

Samsung Blackjack II- AT&T; it's not on the list Mazda threw together but it works. Solid connection; sound quality is "3" out of "5"

[ALmaX]

Works great with the Iphone.(first) Paired 2 phones with the car. Some people might have problems with them because of the software and unlocks out there but they work great, even call waiting works great on them. I remember the manual somewhere saying to turn it off but it works great. Wish there was a way to control the prompt volume separate from the in-call volume.

[valgrom]

Just got a CX9 and was able to connect both, my iPhone and my wife's RAZR to it...works perfectly.

Blackberry 8700 pairs up. Can't transfer Blackberry phone list to CX-9, but fine otherwise.


Lexx, same here but my Bluetooth conection breaks down regularly, do you experience that?(eyeballs)

Thanks!

AT&T/Cingular 8525 (HTC Tytn)
Motorola Razr V3xx

My iphone works seamless with my cx-9

Nokia N95 8GB (NAM) works fine

Just replaced my Samsung A900 with a Palm Centro. The Palm works perfectly.

+1. Palm Centro connects just fine... even though our audio prompts weren't! (rant)

[nguvanh]

Our iphone 3G works great. I also have to delete all old paired one.

Can you make calls from your iphone 3g that go thru the car?
When I make a call from the phone it takes forever for the bluetooth to pick up and play thru the car. Making voice calls and answering incoming work great. Thanks for any tips.

[JayR]

Nokia 6126 no issues.

[Scott P]

We are not having any luck at all pairing the wife's new Motorola Z9. It's just not finishing the pairing process.

[dyifyi]

BlackBerry 8830 no issues

[mofobaru]

Motorola Rizr Z3 and Nokia 6101, no problems.

When you make calls from the phone the bluetooth won't come on until the call is answered on the other end. I have had 4 different phones connected and same thing with all of them incl my iphone.

[mmbetz]

My Motorola E815 works great and sounds great.

But has anyone ever had their audio system lock up after ending a call? It has happened to me three times now. It's like it's still in telephone mode (volume can only adjust up to 14), but no amount of button pushing will allow the radio to come back on. The only solution I have found is to "reboot" the car.

Yes! I had this problem one day. I thought I blew out the electronics on the audio system somehow. It seemed like it had hung-up the connection, but the audio system didn't realize the call had gone away.

I was driving along the highway and "rebooting" the car wasn't an option at the time. I think I ended up after about 20 minutes making another call (trying to diagnose the problem) when the system realized a new call was being made and started the call again. When I hung-up this time, the audio was back to normal.

[mmbetz]

Hmmm... I hadn't thought of making another call from the cell phone. I couldn't do anything through the car itself, but the phone may have worked. I'll try that, should it happen again.

For future reference, you can reboot while on the highway. Just be sure to shift into neutral first. :)

[undert3k]

Connected until now : iPhone, Motorola rzr 3, Blackberry 8100 Pearl, and a Nextel Motorola 6210i.
Works great and what i love most....there is no ringing until somebody picks up your call and then my music stops and i can have a call....Great.No bluetooth lag !

[clandestine]

My iPhone 3G connected fairly easily and has worked pretty well. One time my wife's phone rang and it rang through the car, even though we hadn't paired it. Must be looking at some identifier that doesn't distinguish different units.

I haven't tried uploading the address book and not sure that I will, but our saleswoman told us it's problematic and doesn't usually work.

[KRM9]

Blackberry Pearl 8130, sound is very clear and much better than my previous Acura TL.

Blackberry Storm (chokes on importing of phone book otherwise OK)
Samsung (flawless)

[Lindyrect]

I have been able to pair my G1 android sucessfully. Took me a minute to realize I needed to accept the pairing on the phone screen.

Judging on The-9's post I guess you can import the phone book? Must be in one of the couple of manuals I did not recieve with my car.

[LoveMyCX9]

Hi all. This is my first post.

I had no problems linking my Blackberry Storm to my CX-9. However, when I try to import my phone book I get errors.

My husbands phone and phone book went in with no problems.

[tgrapes]

My Samsung Epix (ATT) paired and worked easily for 3 weeks, then just stopped. I deleted and tried to re-pair, but it will not accept a PIN no matter how many times I try and with different PINs. I've been careful to enter actual numbers vs. letters (phone function key). Any ideas??

Did you get any software updates for your phone by chance?

[tgrapes]

No, not that I am aware of. I don't think automatic updates are performed without my knowing - unlike Microsoft :-)

[miopea]

Both work fine:

HTC Touch Pro (from Verizon)
Samsung Omnia (from Verizon)
