:question:Just took possession of my PBM last week. Words can't describe how impressed I am. Pictures will follow later. Question? I have an old dummy cell phone but it has Bluetooth and is paired with the car. Evidently because of the age of my phone the phone book isn't recognized by the car. If I try to make a hands free call the car adds more digits than I say to the number, therefore it doesn't work. If I physically dial the number it works great. Do I need a current smart phone with a phone book in order for the hands free to work? I live in MT and remember steam engines on the railroad so a lot of this stuff doesn't come easy. lol

Wish I could help, I'm a bit long in the tooth as well. I did figure out how to receive a text message and listen to it, don't know yet if I can "speak" a reply to Miss MyLink or just check a scripted answer. Sucks getting old...

Find somebody with a new phone and have them try it. At least you will know if it's the phone or the car.

To rec texts but sure sms is on I think that's what it is. If you do setup without it you will need to unpair the phone and be sure sms is enable and start over to get emails and text.

What numbers does it add ? This is a long shot, but if it is adds +61 to the start, that is the Australian country code - maybe it is calling home ?

isszy, It gets the whole phone number correct but then adds various random numbers at the end.

Hey Hipshot,

I was able to reach out to our infotainment team this afternoon. What type of mobile phone do you have? It should not add digits but there may be a concern with your mobile device microphone. One option is to delete the mobile device from the vehicle and then re-repair. If you have additional questions, please reach out to our infotainment team at, 855-478-7767.
