2006 Vantage with Bluetooth and Blackberry Pearl - I can pair the phone, and I can make a call, and receive a call, through the audio system. But as soon as either the callee (when I am calling out), or I (when they are calling me), pick-up the call, it switches to "privacy mode", and I can only hear/talk through the Blackberry itself. When I try switching to "handsfree mode" either with the buttons on the steering wheel or through the voice recognition system, it doesn't - can still only hear/talk via the phone. I think I read there are compatibility issues between the Motorola Bluetooth system on the '06 and Blackberry's. Am I sol, or is there some magic incantation somewhere (either in the car or phone Bluetooth set-up or something)?

I had a BB Pearl that worked flawlessly with my '07 V8V. My new BB 9700 Bold works just as well too. Maybe there is an issue with your phone. Do you have a friend's phone you can pair to your car to try?

Thanks Adam.

I disabled the "address book transfer" option on the phone, and now all seems to be well.

Cheers,
