VE Bluetooth

[Sabbath']

If you dont want to use the VE bluetooth anymore, take out the glovebox and disconnect the module.

Our SSV wagon would have to have the best factory bluetooth i've ever used, has excellent audio and phone's connect to it no probs (nokias). My 08 hilux's factory bluetooth on the other hand, is nothing short of a heap of ****!
Cheers.

Bluetooth modules in most of these can be updated by a Holden Dealer to increase phone compatibility.There will most probably be updated software every 6 months or so to try to keep up with newer models.
There is a list of compatible phones here : Phone Compatibility - Bluetooth

There were also many issues with faulty bluetooth modules causing flat batteries as well as connection issues etc.

The Holden Bluetooth is an acceptable system although it has no functionality controls for the phone which is dissapointing and I have found the sound quality poor in comparison to other cars.. I will try the suggetion re the balance/ fader to make the sound quality better.

A truly great Bluetooth system is that in the current BMW's, in our X6 the sound quality is near perfect and all of the phone's features can be accessed from the I-Drive system and most through the steering wheel controls in addition to the voice activation system.

Hey guys.
I have an iPhone.
It's syncs very well with the ve BT.

U can even use the voice dialing from the steering controls.

I too have an iPhone with no dramas at all with the cars BT, but I cant get the voice dialing to work

I just tried the audio fade function and it is not available in my car. Tried another phone to see if it was a phone related issue and it also did not have the "Audio" setup available at all while a call was underway.

I would like to know what "partial" means exactly, which features are considered "full" and more specifically IF Holden can fix the problem of just displaying VOICE IN without the phone number and/or name from the phone.

That's what "partial" means. Partial usually refers to not being able to display name\phone number on the centre display.

I have an iPhone so I would have expected that Holden to at least work on the getting the popular phone models up to "full" compatability.

Personally I haven't had an issue with my phone 'Nokia N95' with either my old SV6 or my new Calais V. I do however have a relative who has an iPhone (I believe the first series) it paired up with my car perfectly but he had to turn the volume up to hear anything and listening to him though my phone (i was quite some distance from my car to avoid feedback or mine connecting via BT) sounding like he was about 3 metres from his phone yelling into a tunnel.

The fix for this was a firmware update on the phone itself, once complete it was clear as a bell and worked perfectly.

The factory bluetooth in my 2006 VE SV6 works a treat with my Blackberry 9000. Never an issue with the auto connection when I jump in the car. I'm on the road all the time and voice quality has also never been an issue. No dramas at all ......
