what model phone?

 

What's the owner's manual say....

 

i am using an iPhone with bluetooth, and the end call button definitely works for me, i thought i pressed the answer button before and it didn't work so i now use the dial for command to answer calls.

 

I've tried it with an HTC Mozart (Windows Phone 7) and an Android HTC One X. Same with both. I don't believe that the phone type should make a difference though as it's just implementing Bluetooth headset profile.
I've not found any situation where the steering wheel phone buttons do anything - I can place and receive calls using COMMAND or the buttons under the stereo, but not with the steering wheel ones.

Can someone try something for me? Make a call, and then press the steering wheel buttons. Does it hang up?

Also, if you're driving without making a call and press the steering wheel buttons, what happens? Does it pop up a last-dialled list or similar?

This is kind of what I'd expect to happen anyway. before I go back to a dealer I'd just like some confirmation!

Cheers guys. Loving the car so far. Still taking it easy until it's run in but gratified that it's entirely possible to get it sideways...!

 

Don't have our car here handy at the moment, but i can tell you that the steering wheel button will hang up a call when pressed (I use it with a blackberry torch).

 

Thanks Gertie. Looks like there's something wrong with mine then. I'll go talk to a dealer, hopefully it's just a loose connection.

 

here is an online manual for the comand system - basically -the two buttons on the steering wheel should function the same as on the comand bezel.

Yes our steering wheel button hangs up a call. For the call list to show I'm pretty sure you need to have the phone function selected and showing on either screen or the display between the speedo and tacho.

 

Spot on Creepy Coupe, telephone mode should be displayed in dash.

 

Thanks. mine are faulty then. Ah well, no biggie. Will go see the dealer.

 

hmm. well, they're not broken! Tested with a third phone (another Android Huawei model) and they work just fine on that model, just not on my other 2 phones...

 

That's a pain. I wonder if the dealer will have a software update as more phones get released?
