Bluetoth Compatability
My dads just got a XC60 and loves it but his current phone (samsung 2100) is not pairing well with the bluetooth. He is a bit of a technophobe so doesnt want Iphone/blackberry but likes his current phone! Samsung now do a new version of his rugged phone the 'C3350' but dont want to get it unless were sure of the compatability. Is anyone on here able to help us confirm that it works ok?
Thanks Skep |

There used to be a page or PDF on the Volvocars website that listed all the compatible phones they'd tested, I'll try and find it but I'm not sure if it's still there.

What is happening exactly?
Does it pair and work OK, but need to be paired again on the next time he uses the car? Or does it pair and not work or is it some other combination!! |

saying that the bluetooth interface on the car is very well behaved and all of the issues that have appeared on this forum have been down to the phone, and user, not down to the XC60 - the most common issue has been that the pairing has not been setup correctly and people have not set the phone to permit auto-connection - there have also been occasions where people have found that without bluetooth enabled the phone won't connect

I was pairing a new Sony Xperia Arc S yesterday and I had to finally resort to calling Sony for help. The auto connect was not working, because on this particular phone, the XC60 requested the address book and there was a VERY small symbol appearing on the phone that I had missed. I had to click on the symbol to agree the transfer and also tick a box to remember the setting for future connections. After that it worked perfectly, including displaying the multiple numbers for each contact. |

Hi Skep, I have a XC60 and have no problem in using my Samsung C3050. It connects every time I start the car.
