What happened to Bluetooth Synch?
Everybody knows about Verizon's flip-flopping on OBEX, but what about tye good old Synch profile? It was on every BT phone since the second release V710.
My wife wanted a new phone, so I picked the Chocolate, which had BT and the same profile listings as her V, on the website so we bought that, little to know that the Sych profile that was on the V was missing from the Chocolate, so no PB transfer to my BMW. Why no Synch on the Choc is beyond me, so we returned the phone for a different LG and it works on my BMW but now not her Lexus.
Verizon's new policy is "Check with the car manufacturer." Sorry, the car manufacturers don't have a clue as to how to manage interoperability with Verizontooth.

Why did you post almost the same exact post on Sept 2nd as well? You got no responses then. I don't understand? Are you trying to to flame?

The Sept 2nd post was only about the Chocolate / BMW discovery as it related to the missing Synch problem.
Today's post was about further findings, more widespread to affliction of the missing Synch profile itself, and the Verizon posted charts being wrong.
The news article was also new about the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA)situation.
Maybe a Verizon person can say "We removed the Synch profile because of X", and "we are sorry that our Navigator upgrade disabled your car kit".
An Internet 'flame' is meant to be insulting, sorry...

so people buy or don't buy cars now solely on the basis of if they can transfer their phone book to it? really? kinda shallow and spoiled sounding to me? and would be impossible to base a lawsuit. they have a huge chart of different vehicles and what works and what doesn't. good enough for me.

I had a customer with a new BMW 5 series. He bought a Razr. I read his bluetooth in his car's owner's manual and it stated something to the affect that you might be able to use the phone's phonebook, or you might have to manually enter the phonebook into the phone's memory. It all depends on your phone. With the RAZR, he had to manually create a phonebook in his car's memory. So, it is listed in the car's owner manual...
