I have a huge post about it on another website (which develops software/firmware) for that phone. Take a look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346970

I'd be very interested in finding out whether you have a navigation unit on your G37, and what version of software/firmware you're using on your Tilt...
Yes I have the Nav. I don't know squat about the Tilt, it's my wife's phone and she seldom rides in my car. She's used it about 2 or 3 times in the G with no problem though. She's not here for me to check it and I have no idea what version her phone is.

Works well with the iPhone. It's much better than the M45 bluetooth.

Wow, thanks for the tremendous reply. I guess this was a good thread, and sounds like most ppl like the BT in their cars.

I am having a similar problem for a few times since I changed my phone to blackberry. I have to reset (delete and re-pair) BT connection for both devices before it becomes normal again. Annoying.

The bluetooth works very well with my Samsung SCH-i760 on Verizon Wireless. It was easy to pair the phone. After starting the car the phone will almost instantly pair and the car displays "Phone connected".

It works exactly like a bluetooth headset. You can pick your phone and dial or use the car's bluetooth features to dial. It has it's own internal phonebook and voicetag database. But, you can transfer, albeit on a one-by-one basis, the phone book entries from your phone into your car's internal phonebook.

The voice command system in the newer Gs is crippled, so you can't simply say "Dial My Bitch", but it doesn't ruin the performance of the bluetooth system. That is still top-notch.

As someone who had the journey without NAV for two weeks before receving my S version with the NAV, I have to say the Bluetooth is worse through the NAV. The non NAV lets you store multipe phone numbers for one name and has easier voice dial commands. The voice commands with the NAV require you to say phonebook, wait for prompt, and then say dial and I have to make custom phone tags like call Jane Doe at work. This means a single contact requires 2 - 4 voicetags.

Also, it does not work with WM6 phonebooks. It does not download them via bluetooth.

I can live with it as I am just going to program in my top 25 list of people called most which will probably take 74 entries. My WM6 Phone has 500 + contacts with an average of at least 3 phone numbers so the NAV BT limits me a great deal.

The hands-free is great in the car IMO. It sucks that my phone is not compatible to download my contacts but that is the phones fault and not the systems fault. Sounds great and people can hear me.

Are you sure it is the phones fault? Does the phone meet the current BT standards?

Honestly, the car should handle the WM 6 phones as that is about 20% of the total market and they are using the same bluetooth stack.

I agree the hands free quality is very good..

Also my bluetooth seems more like a walkie talkie. If the other person is speaking and I say something, they dont hear it. You have to wait for silence then say something then wait so on and so forth. Copy that? Roger!
