Okay, I've been digging through various posts today, but I'm not having any luck coming up with what I'm looking for, so that's the reason for the new subject heading.

Does anyone have the LG-VX10000 phone for the Verizon network? It's the phone Verizon has been advertising like crazy lately and is trying to mimick Apple's iPhone touch screen.

If you have this model, how did you get it to pair with the MB's puck?

My puck worked great with my old Motorola RAZR, but I can't get the new LG to pair at all with the GL. So, unfortunately, I'm not able to use the hands-free option at the moment. I feel like I've gone back to the 90's.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Should have bought an iPhone, Stumble

Come down to LA or meet us in LV and I will fix this for you

Jokes aside, what is it doing/not doing? Give me some details.

I've wanted an iPhone ever since I saw Jack's last summer. But, AT&T's network is atrocious in the Colorado mountains and other rural areas that I travel too. So, had to stick with Verizon. Be careful what you say, because you know I may just take you up on your offer to come to LA or LV.

I hear you about the details and I'll post them verbatim when I get back home from the road, because I don't remember the exact messages. But, the jest of the issue is the phone can see the "MB Phone System", but it can't pair with it and then the Command Screen just says "Phone Off".

Until later...

With my phone in auto-pair mode, here is what happens...

1. The phone finds "MB Phone System".
2. The message "Attempting to Pair" appears on the phone.
3. When the phone can't pair, it asks me for the authentication passcode.
   
   The phone manual states that the handset is prompting me for the accessory's passcode and that it is typically "0000". I have no idea what the MB puck's passcode is, but I can tell you that 0000 and every other 4 digit number combination I've ever used for pins does not work.
   
   
4. After several seconds, the message "Device may not be compatible with Auto Pair Routine" appears and you're done.

With the auto-pair mode off, here is what happens...

1. From the phone's bluetooth menu you select "Add New Device".
2. Then the following message appears on the phone, "Place device you are connecting to in discoverable mode".
3. At this point you press the button on the MB puck and select OK on the phone.
4. The phone searches and asks you to select "MB Phone System".
5. Once you select "MB Phone System" the phone prompts you to enter the passcode.
6. After you enter the passcode it says "Pairing", but then the phone displays "Device Pairing Incomplete" and you're done.

Let me know if you have any ideas.

Brian - The MB puck has it's own passcode and it is not 0000 nor can it be set by you. If you still have the original booklet on the puck, it will have your puck's passcode. If you don't then let me know and I will PM you mine and you can try that. I think all pucks would have the same passcode but then again Ma Benz knows best.

Also, don't pair manually (auto pair mode off) or else every time you get in the car you will have to manually pair it.

You nailed it Nish.

Send me your consulting bill!

FYI - the pairing code for the MB puck is 62872, or MBUSA.
