Does anybody know how to connect a BlackBerry to the VW bluetooth carkit?
I understand there are no snap-in cradles for BlackBerry phones, so I bought the "Universal Pairing Adapter" (VW part number 3C0.051.435.PA - see page 4 of PDF file on following website:
http://www.volkswagen-zubehoer.de/fileadmin/pdf/adapter/3C0_035_729_G%20%20V002_doc.pdf
.... which is supposed to allow phones which don't have the Bluetooth rSAP (Remote SIM Access Profile) to connect instead using the regular Bluetooth Hands Free Profile. However, this Universal Pairing Adapter is useless. Half of the time it doesn't connect, and even when it does connect, it drops the Bluetooth signal after a short time.
I used to have an after-market Parrot bluetooth handsfree kit, and it worked flawlessly. In comparison, this VW bluetooth carkit is useless. I'm seriously thinking of just abandoning the VW carkit and installing another Parrot bluetooth carkit.
Does anybody know how to get a BlackBerry to communicate properly with the VW bluetooth carkit, either with or without the "Universal Pairing Adapter"?
