Adding Bluetooth for my Blackberry

The parts arrived yesterday for my upgrade. Here is what came in the box:

ULF module ...522 with adapter cable attached
Bluetooth antennae
Bluetooth antennae cable
Pairing button
Pairing button connector cable
ELK 800 amplifier (paid for as extra)
Microphone (paid for as extra)
Mounting Bracket (paid for as extra)
Instruction sheet referring to on-line manuals at
http://www.advancedautovations.com/manuals/

The write-up here on X5World by UCrewX5 along with the on-line manual covered the install pretty clearly and it went smoothly. Replacing the existing bracket with the ULF mounting bracket was a bit tedious but not too difficult. The rest of the install was by the book.

System fired up as described and pairing procedure worked per the instructions.

Couple of notes on the operation of the system with the Blackberry 7520 with Nextel service:

The phonebook does not transfer to ULF (do to size and security?)
VR works to control ULF phone functions and NAV but not the actual Blackberry functions.
NAV screen displays number when dialed with VR and shows caller ID on incoming calls. Blackberry screen shows full info on incoming and outgoing calls.
The system makes a “pop” sound through the speakers when turning the car on and off (is this the amplifier?)
During My few initial test calls, the person on the other end of the line said it was hard to hear me (can the mic level be adjusted?)

Any advise on solutions to the last two items? Will coding the vehicle for this upgrade solve these issues?
