Unhappy ARGOS Issue Help!!!!

I installed the ARGOS module in my 2002 C320 (Thanks MJ50). The install wasn't that hard (I just had to find the right FO cables). The unit powers up and everything is great, but then it is refusing to connect to my Nokia N95 by itself. I pair the phone and connect it for the first time. It doesn't upload the phonebook (I can maybe live without that), but then on the car restart it can't connect by itself to the phone again. I start the car and it connects and immediately disconnects from the phone. (I have enabled auto connect on my phone) Now if I manually start the connection from the phone it works, but that means I have to take out the phone every time I get into the car and manual connect it. I upgraded the firmware on my phone but the problem remains. My phone has no problem auto-connecting to my Motorola S9 headset by itself so I don't think it’s the phone. Also when it disconnects it keeps trying to connect every 15-30 sec and once it managed to do it after 5 minutes but that s the only time. Is there a firmware upgrade or something else I can do?

Also forgot to mention, I tried using my friend's Samsung Blackjack (WM5) and it had the same issue. On my old Sony Erricson K750 it would connect disconnect and then connect agin and stay connected, but I don't want to give up my N95 for this.

i know there was a firmware upgrade for the argos box itself.... so depending upon how long ago MJ purchased the system you might have the old version. you can send the box back to argos and have the box upgraded..... runs around 25 bucks....

The cables are all connected properly, I double checked them (there is only 2 anyways). The system works with an older phone, although it does connect and diconnect and then reconnect, but then stays connected. It just doesn't work properly with the newer phones (N95 and Samsung Blackjack). It did connect by itself today but after 20 minutes of retrying since the car was started (and it didn't do it again after that I waited for 30 minutes). MJ when did you upgrade the firmware?
