Notes on using the BT system.
======================================
Holding down the MB logo on the BT module for 2 seconds put the BT module into active mode (rapid LED blink)
ANSWER / DIAL / PICK UP: Gives you a list of phones that are nearby or the "search" feature. (on COMAND only)
CLICKING ON THE PHONE: Gives you the pairing code (16 digits)
Other notes
======================================
a) When the pairing is good the system disconnects and then starts up again. If your phone is NOT set to AUTOMATIC then the phone will ask you for pairing permission.
b) To set the AUTOMATIC feature you must look at the pairing profile for the MBPHONE profile inside the phone.
c) There are two kinds of profiles in Bluetooth being used. One is for SIMM ACCESS PROFILE (to answer calls) and one is for SERIAL PROFILE (only used for phonebook). That means if you setup the phone the first time it will reboot twice. If you set the phone to AUTOMATIC then you will not need to answer the ACCEPT request on the phone.
d) "0000" + "DIAL" does download the phonebook but it disconnects first.
e) If your SIM has a pin code it will ask for it each time you enter the car. If you leave the car and do not walk far away then the car will ring and not the phone.
f) Once you tamper with the phone settings in paired mode the phone will disconnect from the car.
Don't be put off by the phone rebooting the system.
