Bluetooth pairing
First if this info is on here somewhere I apologize, I have searched and can't find it if it is. I'm trying to pair my V3M to my new Chevy. I get all the way to where it finds General Motors when I search for handsfree, but it never asks to bond, or gets to a screen to input a PIN? The GM site says this Verizon phone is compatible? I'm not sure if I'm missing a step, need a hack, or screwed something up in a previous hack. I'm on S/W NEWC_01.09.02
First off, if you don't mind too much, add your phone...

You say the the GM site says your phone is compatable, right? However, as far as I know, the Verizon firmware pretty much has most Bluetooth functions locked down. I believe (not sure) that the seem edit that allows USB 'might' allow BT as well. But for sure, with the f/w on your phone, the only BT you will be able to do is with a regular BT headset. If you can set your vehicle to act like a regular BT headset, then you should be ok.
Otherwise, with your current f/w on your phone, you could always flash it to the Vivo f/w (hard, but not too bad if you are good at following instructions) which would then unlock much more BT possibilities.
good luck

I think vzw also has a list available of cars that work...

One thing to remember is the v3m had two main f/w. The launch and then something down the middle (again I'm HORRIBLE with vzw f/w numbers). The launch f/w had pretty much all BT functions locked. The newer and latest ones on the other hand did not. Like for example:
- Mass BT contact sending
- Sending photos/video over BT
and some other things.
It most likely is possible if your f/w is a launch f/w that is not compatible with the car but the new one is.
