what my problem is that when u initiate the connection to the phone it asks to autorize connection by pressing "OK" button.... i dont lilke that , i want automatic cnection to the phone when u are in the car. For that I think I need to get hands free profile or somethig. All new cars can access your phone w/o autorization (well u need to enter pin code once) so i wonder how that works

i found out how to auto connect phone to pc when the devices come to distance of each other, here's how:

right click on the bluetooth icon in the task bar, click on advanced configuration, then click on the local services tab, then highlight the serial com port and click on properties, now just check the box that says "start up automatically" and uncheck "Secure Connection". now just remeber to always allow connection to your phone from the car pc, my phone (sony ericsson w300i) after i add a bluetooth device asks me how i want to treat the new device, if i want to always ask to connect or if i want to always allow connection.

this worked for me everytime i get into my car i just turn the key and everything is automatic, just make sure you don't let your friends borrow your car, i did and when my friend was dropping my car off to me at work he said the music suddenly stopped the screen said "phone call" and all he could hear was m girlfriend saying "hello, hello".


also take a look at my sig there is a tutorial on how to setup the audio gateway with widdcomm drivers

Actually I found something similar too
The auto connect is a part of the Toshoba BT stuck ... but also you have to "autorize" your comp on the phone too, otherwise you will need to confirm connection all the time ;-)

I wilsh i would know how to undo all the settings on the phone so my CLIP caller ID would start working again

isn't there a master reset? my ericsson has one, by the way just a quick heads up if you have a verizon phone loaded with their firmware your project just got a lot harder

I dono about verizon firm i got ATT,
how do u doo master reste on your phone? is that GUI function or is that a secret code?

well my ericsson still has the sony firmware so inside the seetings menu there is a master reset option, but keep in mind this will erase everything phone number included, if you don't have one try doing a google search sometimes it's a combination of buttons

well the GUI of the phone has the regular reset option and that doesnt not help at all. so I guess i will google for the code... after all how can i continu delopmet if my IDE is not working.



Hope I dont loose my address book

you will loose everything on the phone, use bluetooth to take out all your contacts, pics, ringtones, etc.

I got only address book, bus BT doesnt backup sim card addressses, so i hope the fone will not mess with sim card in any way. such as pain
