Amarilla Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Did anybody have any luck pairing a HTC Desire with the factory fitted bluetooth? The phone finds it no problem, asks for the code, gets as far as pairing but it stucks there. There are no other phones registered with the bluetooth. Any advice would be appreciated! Quote
insider Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Check here for compatibility - http://www.ford-mobile-connectivity.com/home. Not all phones are 100% compatible and those tested by Ford have details of what does / doesn't work. Quote
Amarilla Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Posted January 31, 2011 Thank you very much for the link insider. It is quite a good list but unfortunately doesn't include HTC. Such a shame, it worked perfectly with my old Nokia 5800. Never mind, will just have to find another way. Quote
Andy Crome Posted February 5, 2011 Report Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Hi - I think I might be able to help with this. I have a Samsung Galaxy S and I've not been able to pair it with the car - until yesterday. The phone would find the car bluetooth - you could enter the code - then the stereo would flash up "Bonding Failed" - I'd not seen this message before. The phone just sat there trying to pair. I have other phones that work with the car so this was annoying me. I dropped in to my local Ford dealer and he had the same phone which he paired successfully with a number of different fords so we knew it should be possible. He tried it with mine and it didn't work. He pressed the phone button, then pressed menu - then used the left and right scan buttons on the head unit to scroll through the paired phones, there were quite a few in there. He was trying to unbond some of the old ones but it wasn't the same as the slightly newer stereos so it wasn't obvious. He offered to research it and give me a call. I started to play with the head unit and found that if you press the phone button, then press menu button twice it brings up the debonding menu, just scrolll left and right through the phones and press menu to debond them. I debonded all the old handsets I didn't have anymore and the Galaxy paired up no problem. Give it a try - and best of luck! Andy By the way - the Galaxy S is not listed as a supported handset on the Ford website - so this is a real bonus! Edited February 5, 2011 by Andy Crome Quote
