by the way like the 50cent chain thing hanging off the rear view mirror

Hi Sydney300c:

I positioned the Uconnect controller where it is recommended in the manual. It sits flush up against the dash - there is a wire in the middle of the back which feeds in between the two edges snugly.

As for the pfittey cent bling chain .... everyone needs a little bling in their life even where it may be regarded tacky!!!

I forgot to mention ... the Uconnect talks to you and she even listens ... so if you need some company you just go and sit in the car!

Cheers

It works fine with a Nokia N70 and an O2 Atom. It doesn't work with a Nokia N80 (the new 3G, 3MP, Wifi phone) and also doesn't work with a Sony Ericsson K800i (the new 3g, 3mp phone).

Could it be the problem is 3G phones dont work on uconnect?
I have a sonyericsson k750i, it's not 3G, i wonder if this phone would be ok?
Also dude you didnt state which phone was yours, I was thinking of getting the o2 atom when i upgrade my fleet of phones later this year, if that's yours then would you recommend it?

hey by the way i have my climate control setting almost exactly the same as you do!

Do you find the uconnect difficult to reach over to from the driver's seat? How do you answer calls when it rings? Does it automatically mute the stereo when a call comes through? Even when your phone may be on silent? And if so, can you answer the call by saying 'answer' or whatever? Then what happens what the call is disconnected, does the stereo automatically un-mute?
bloody un-mute is that even a word?

I think the RRP is around $1,200 but you should ask your local spares what the best price is that they can do.

The N70 is a 3G phone & my partner has the Nokia 6280 which is also 3G and they work fine. It's more to do with the Bluetooth implementation within the handset.

I use the N70 for pleasure and use the O2 Atom for business - and it's an awesome phone. I couldn't live without it - synching it with Outlook & MS Exchange and having a couple of hundred contacts in it ensures you have all the information you need on the run.

Reaching the UConnect is fine. Press the U button to answer a call and yes it auto mutes the stereo when it rings including when it is on silent. I don't think there is a voice answer function but don't quote me on that. That might be phone specific. When the call is ended the Uconnect announces "Phone call ended" or something like that then restores the sound from the stereo. I like toys and I rate this one for quality and function excepting the Bluetooth compatability quirks - because I really liked the N80 but I sold it after I found out it didn't work with the UConnect. I put it on eBay before they released them in Australia to recoup most of what I paid for it in Hong Kong.
