Hi Dickie ..
I had a related conversation with my local dealer yesterday however from a slightly different perspective ..
The reason your phone will not pair is that it needs to have SAP - Sim Access Protocol,
Very few phones have that. My Sony Ericsson W810 with Bluetooth will not pair, My HTC S710 will pair.
Without SAP the bluetooth kit does not work.
My conversation with the dealer was to make him aware of this so the sales guys do not allow a customer to order the ?455 phone option without the knowledge that it will require the phone to have SAP. They do not appear to know this.
I will be copying your posting to the dealer in order to emphasize how real this scenario is. Personally I would be extremely upset if I was in your situation.
I'm not sure if purchasing a phone cradle (if available for your phone) would allow the phone to work. I have a suspicion that it may not because the phone kit literally takes over the phone and does not allow it to be used as a phone whilst it is connected ... It is because of this alot of the phones functionality can be accessed from the touchscreen or steering wheel controls. An example of this is - when a text message is received on the phone, the phone kit displays the message on the screen in the dashboard and allows you to read it.
I hope the above helps ... if you have any further questions, please ask ..
