1. Smart Phone Hell 2. Top End
I bought a new Galaxy Nexus got it to mate but when you tried to make a call it sounded like the old analog phones when you were loosing a tower. I called MB and they said the phone wouldn't work with the car so I took it back. I checked MB's approved list this AM and guess what ? The Galaxy Nexus is on the compatibility list now. It's got the iPod integration Kit on it but I hate iPhones. I plan on calling them about this tomorrow. Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on?
One other question what's "Delimitation of top speed to 174 mph." In my world they pulled the limiter off but then what's the top end?

2017 Mini Cooper S Clubman ALL4 - British Racing Green
Most dealers and manufacturers are full of crap when it comes to a supported device or not. In many cases, it is the device itself that is the problem, as long as the auto manufacturer implements the Bluetooth spec correctly (which they have to as the Bluetooth SIG, the group that grants BT certification, ie the BT logo you see plastered on anything, rules with an iron fist).
The problem comes with implementation, and unfortunately, in the Android world, there is alot of fragmentation (different versions of android with different bluetooth drivers for different hardware). With iphones, it is all the same hardware, and 1 driver, the IOS one, so there are less problems.
I found that my Galaxy S and S II LTE both had problems with the crappy stock ATT ROM on the phones, and the audio was horrible. The custom replacement ROMS I used had no such problems, as they are based on AOSP Android (the way it was released by Google and not f'd up by the carriers). Drivers come from the maker (Samsung in my case). Audio problems are almost always going to be phone related problems.
