Hey all. SO I have a sony W810i with Rogers here in Canada. I was checking out www.mitsubishihandsfree.com to check my phone. I enter in my info for the 08 gts and it isn't there in the list of three.

However, When I check the phone archives next to the list. I can scroll down to my phone it says passed or approved but there's a comment saying "Not approved for software version R4CE012.".

Now does this mean it will still work since all the boxes are checked off even though it doesnt have the correct software? I noticed that one of the phones in the short list, the W300i is not approved for software R9A036. How would this be any different than my phone?

So basically i'm super confused as to whether or not my W810i will connect with my car? Has anyone here ever tried with this type of phone?

Thanks

"Under construction."

Do you have the bluetooth kit in your car?  If not, see if you can stop by the dealership and test your phone on theirs.  If they ask why, just tell them you are interested in getting the bluetooth on your car if it works for your phone.  Say you heard issues with the W810i.

Dealers will do anything to sell you stuff.

If you already have it in your car, then just go ahead and set it up.  It's really simple too...

1.)  Turn on bluetooth AND visibility on your cellphone.  Some phones are only discoverable for a set amount of time.  If this is an issue with your phone, then do not turn on discoverable until you get to step 5.
2.)  Turn on the car and hit the hands free button on the steering wheel.
3.)  Say "Setup."
4.)  Say "Pair a device."  You cannot just say "pair a device" and skip saying "Setup"... I've tried dozens of times, each time was a complete failure.
5.)  When the prompt finishes, search for all available bluetooth devices from your phone.
6.)  Hands Free Device will be the car, so save the settings on your phone.  Then from your car, assign a name and level of usage for the car (1 is the most used phone).
7.)  Settings saved!

From here on, all you need to do is turn on your bluetooth from your phone and the car will automatically detect it.  You just hit the hands free button and the car will prompt you.  I named my phone "Wing", so my car tells me "Wing... is connected. Ready."  All incoming calls will mute your music and prompt you that you have an incoming call.  If you have the Navigation package, the phone number will appear on the screen.  Unfortunately, you cannot save Caller ID prompts on the Navi so it shows a name, rather than the number.
