MHI Bluetooth adapter works with the Treo 700p

I bought the MHI bluetooth adapter from aws and took a chance that it might work with my Treo 700p and it does. I replaced my V60x cradle with the MHI adapter, paired the Treo to the car and can make and receive calls with the Treo.... the phone book does not transfer automatically, not sure if there is a way to program your own phone book in command.... would be nice if I could but I'm happy with the way it works now.... one less phone on my plan...

Have you tried downloading the phone book using the "Send Contact" option?

Did you try disconnecting the phone from the Bluetooth device before attempting to send? I know this sounds strange, but this is the only way I could send the phone book to my Parrot BT car-kit.

Good question. On the Parrot kit, there was a menu that allowed one to disconnect the phone while keeping Bluetooth active.

I did a little searching & found something that might help. Try this: press and hold the TEL key on the COMAND until the display shows that the phone is disconnected.

Does that do anything?

holding down the TEL button disconnected the phone, but the car is still not visible when trying to send.... the only way the car is visible in bluetooth is if the unit is in pairing mode, I tried putting it in pairing mode, then sending over a contact and it just said unable to send to device.... running low on thigns to try...

Strange. Does the car show up on the Treo as a Bluetooth device when you're not in the car/connected?

I was thinking about installing the MHI adapter as well, but am still waiting for the Argos system to finally be released. The Argos supposedly downloads your contacts automatically. Anyone heard an updated release date?

Does your 700P ring at the same time as the car? How do you keep this from happening?

I have a Treo 700w paired to the Bluetooth "Dongle" and it works fine. It sees my speed dial list as a phone book too. This is installed in a 2005 E320.
