As I pointed out in another thread (somewhere or another..), I have found out our Bluetooth will pair BLAZINGLY FAST if and ONLY if (are you ready for this?) you have a USB memory stick in your USB slot, and are listening to an MP3 file using the AUX function on your radio.
I had noticed my damn phone taking FOREVER to load if I try to go into Bluetooth Setup and then Select Phone (I have both my personal cell and my work cell paired in my Forte). BUT! I noticed that if I did the same exact sequence IF I was listening to an MP3 file on the USB stick, my phone would pair and transfer the phone book in mere SECONDS, NOT MINUTES!
AMAZING! I did, however, find out something intriguing... when I had to take apart my dash to install the KIA Factory Remote Start (I can't recommend it enough for all of us that have an automatic transmission!), I found that the Bluetooth stopped working when I had removed the module behind the dash that had the USB port in it. Once I put it back on, the Bluetooth started working again. I can only surmise that the Bluetooth circuitry is co-located within the USB module, and surprisingly, works much FASTER if you're accessing the USB port (i.e. playing an MP3 file from a USB memory stick).
I do know that the phonebook from your cellphone will not permanently transfer into the Forte Bluetooth, but transfers each time you pair up the phone into the Forte.
I have found this to be 100% true in my 2010 Forte sedan. Try it in yours and tell us what happens.
