I have a samsung as well and mine works, They told us at the dealership that most phones that are blue tooth enabled should work, unless they are pretty old. If you are having trouble getting it connected go to the dealership, they will set it up for you.

Go into contacts. Select All (CTRL-A). Select Actions/Forward as vCard. A new email message will come up with all the contacts as VCF file attachments. Select all of the contacts in the attachment field (CTRL-A again). Drag them to your storage card.

Thanks for the help. So I did this but I couldnt drag from the attachments part of outlook to the storage card. I instead sent myself an email and dragged it from there. They were all in vcard format but when I inserted the card in my car and tried to upload, I got an error... Any advice?? Thanks guys.

Stick Girl, I just picked my C300 up just over a week ago and also have the Centro from Sprint. I have not had luck with getting the phone to stay paired with the vehicle. I did go through the manual setup, put the pin in, and once I get that far, the phone just won't connect. How did you get yours to work? Thanks in advance for your help.

IF still not working... bring this back to dealer and ask them to pair and connect for you.

I got it to pair by holding it right up to the screen. I kept trying repeatedly like you and the only thing that made it work was holding the phone close. Since then, I haven't had to re-pair it or anything. It just picks the phone up when I turn the car on without any problems at all.
I'll check later and see what other screens on both the car side and the phone side I had to configure. In the meantime, give that a try and it should work then. Let me know.

Stick Girl, thanks for the congrats and tip! Actually I was messing around with the system and here is how I got the Palm Centro to work: I went into the manual mode on the car and into the "Trusted Devices" area of the Bluetooth on the phone. Got through setting up the pin in the phone and car, it still would not sync up with the vehicle, but it was showing up as a trusted device. So next I went into the "Options" screen to search for my device, it showed up and I was able to complete the process through there. Now it works fine everytime I get in the car.
A note on Palm phones, the Centro has the newer bluetooth technology, which is working with the car. The other phones are older models and still have older bluetooth technology, which most likely will not work with the car.

Cool beans, dfranjko! I'm glad it worked out. I do take for granted that it always works when I get in the car since I set it up. I knew it was something simple; I couldn't recall what I did. 
I had the Treo 650 before the Centro and the BT was horrible, so I'm glad that I upgraded the phone before I upgraded the car!
