iPhone + Bluetooth + Parrot CK3100 Built In Handsfree = Flaky Connection

I had a Parrot CK3100 handsfree bluetooth built into my car and it works right through the stereo speakers, mutes the radio when calls come in, etc. Previous to the iPhone, I was using a Treo 650 with it. Never a problem connecting or maintaining a connection. Now with the iPhone, I'd say it connects about 50% of the time - even though they are paired successfully. The only way to get it to connect is to unpair and repair. Also, I find that I can be on a call through the handsfree and it will just disconnect and drop. Any thoughts out there?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

you would think. i spoke to a tech at parrot U.S. - he said they just got it on the 29th along with everyone else and are testing it to see what they may need to do for better compatibility. the other weird thing is every time I do manage to connect, the little wheel thing on the Parrot display spins forever trying to sync with the iPhone.

unfortunately you are not the lone ranger. i get intermittant pairing with the motorola S9 bluetooth headset. it works great with the moto Q. with the moto Q you can do voice dialing, play the MP3 and use the phone --- hands free.

i wish the iphone would do this. i have yet to find any hands free system that connects via bluetooth that the iphone will let you control the phone functions and the ipod functions.

maybe next lifetime.
