Bluetooth & WiFi

[#1]

We are trying to collect data for all customers that are having issues related to pairing their Palm Pre to car kits, however this data is spread among tons of threads and many different boards. To resolve this we would like to consolidate this list down to one board and tell you up front what information we need.

If you are having issues around using Bluetooth with your Car Kit please post the information in this thread. 

Please also use this template so it is easiest for us to extract this data

Make/Model:  Volvo S40
Year: 2009
Carkit Model info (Manufacturer, firmware version, etc):  OEM
Details of problem:  The contacts will not automatically sync.  I have to go into the car's bluetooth menu and select "copy contacts from phone" every time the car is turned on.  This used to not be an issue prior to the 1.3.5 update.

webOS version: 1.4
Included in compatibility list: yes

This problem began with 1.3.5 and was not resolved with 1.4

Have you removed all pairing both from the device and from the carkit and re-established a new pairing since upgrading to 1.4.0.

If not can you please do those steps and let us know if you are still having the issue.
