Motorola V710
v710 Bluetooth handsfree crippled
As an owner of a 2004 Lexus LX470 and a recently purchase Motorola V710 I have finally had a chance to see how the two integrate with each other. Overall I am impressed, expect for one major issue...
When receiving an incoming call there are no audible alerts whatsoever. A) On the vehicle, the telephone window pops up on the navigation screen, detailing caller information and allows the driver to accept or decline the call. There is however, NO audible alert or ring-tone produced by the vehicle. B) When locked into bluetooth mode, the V710 goes absolutely silent. NO keypad OR ring tones.

I contacted Motorola software support on the issues of 'no audible ring' and 'no ability to upload phonebook data'. The answer I received was that they ARE aware of these issues and are currently working on a new software release that should be available around August 13-16. They stated that this may be 'an over the air' or 'bring it in to your service provider' update.

If the radio is on, I would assume this goes silent when a call comes in . . . This may help you know of an incoming call until the ring problem is fixed.
Thanks until for posting this information.
