Separately, it seems odd to me that MB would sell a BT-SAP cradle for the Razr, when no SAP compliant Razr exists. Or have I missed something here?
2. Will the same UHI Razr Cradle work with a CDMA phone when the phone is docked? Should I expect any issues with phonebooks? Will it be possible to make and receive calls?
3. Alternately, will the European UHI HFP Adapter (MB P/N B6 787 58 77) make use of the car’s external antenna and compensators, while using the HF profile? Does it have any issues pairing and working with BT - HFP equipped CDMA and GSM phones?
4. Finally, will the US-MHI Razr Cradle (MB P/N B6 787 5869), which I understand to be BT-HFP only, work in a European UHI car?
Application is a European spec W211 with Euro code 386 UHI phone system installed, and with Euro COMAND-APS, operating in the USA. Phones in the family include 1 GSM Razr V3, 2 CDMA Razr V3m, and 1 Blackberry 8700c
I wil say this about MB...to really know the electronics of these cars you end up very very knowledgeable in areas that I never intended to become aware of, let alone capable of carrying on a conversation. Geez - silly me, I thought Bluetooth was Bluetooth. How niave of me...
Thanks for the further education... |
1) this European Razr cradle does not support BT at all. It should be one where you physically attach a phone on the cradle and then the phone would get charged and would use the car antenna. (Edited: a warning of incorrect info here, see later posts)
3) any HF profile BT puck would not use the car antenna in the BT operation mode. HF profile should be fairly simple and I would not expect compatibility issues for audio. Phone book download may still be an issue.
If you have a Euro UHI setup and non-SAP phones, I would assume the way forward being the Euro HF profile puck. I would expect wide support for BT telephony functions while phone book download could have the normal compatibility issues.
