I purchased a phone from eBay and it works fine except that the bluetooth will not enable. I tried wiping the device and installing the latest OS, still no lunch. The seller said the bluetooth worked for her with uConnect in her car. Any ideas?

i think i know the problem... uconnect is a feature from Chrysler LLC cars only...

there ya go...

Is the BT somehow hard-coded to her car?

Jawbone original...when i tell the BB to enable, the Enabling Bluetooth box pops up for a few seconds and then goes away, leaving a blank screen with the device still saying Bluetooth Disabled.

if bt wont even enable, could be a pooped out bt module... i havent heard of bt not enabling before... if you have had no luck with wiping and installing new os, dont know what to tell you....

Can i use the warranty exchange even if I did not originally purchase the phone?

[jzarowitz]

should be able to as long as phone looks new and the IMEI shows less than 1 year old.

Thanks for answering my questions.

I have a Dodge Charger and have had no issues with my bold and uConnect. Here are the steps I used to activate it:

* Set the Bold up to the menu for it to search for new bluetooth devices
* Push the uConnect button on the radio
* Voice prompt yourself to 'Pair a Phone'
* Put in a password (I use 0000)
* After you do this have your Bold search for new devices
* It should find your device and prompt you to put the password into the phone
* It should then ask you to accept the connection on your phone - Make sure you check the box so that it connects everytime a connection is available
* The uConnect will prompt you to name the device and set a priority... Then you should be good to go.

Good luck...
