2005 Bluetooth ULF Upgrade

Hi gang,
I've been reading the archives and I'm a little confused. I have a 2005 4.8is with BT, and it doesn't connect to my Blackjack at all. I'm wondering if it would work better if I installed a newer ULF? My wife's Razr works fine (although the sound quality is a little lame).

Would a newer ULF allow you to have more connection options?

Looking for any thoughts,
Scott

Sounds to me like a different phone would be cheaper way to go than a new ULF.
Did you do a search??? http://www.xoutpost.com/search.php?searchid=1178794

Yes

I'd agree with that statement, but due to work email, we're limited on what choices we have, so I've been down that road as well. I also have to have an unlocked GSM phone so your average $99.00 phone deals don't apply to me usually.

Are the ULF's that expensive?

e-mail Morristown. But check out that link. The ULF may not be the problem. I can't say but It may be the phone across the board.

I have the same problem. 2005 BMW X5 that I can't pair the Blackjack to. That being said, if I hold the 'talk' button on the steering wheel I don't get the beep I was accustomed to in my e46 3 series.

I haven't tried another phone, but the Blackjack pairs great in my 2006 Z4 M Roadster. I wonder if the ULFs are different or not... any thoughts?

I went with the Q9m from Verizon because I read that the Samsung BT stack is not the standard WM one. I was considering the SCH-i760 but I'm happy with the Q9m. Verizon is the only provider that works reliably at my house and I didn't want a data plan so BB was out.

It pairs fine with my 2004 with 4th gen BT module. It supports phonebook transfer and roaming indicator.

It runs WM 6 standard. I don't use the VZW multimedia screen.

I added an extended battery, 8 GB miniSD card and I have a miniSD WiFi card.

I'm using this "My Phone" skin:
