My MyTouch works just fine with it. Idk..
Problem using TMobile MyTouch 4G
Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum, and I must say I was ecstatic to find a site like this for Koup owners! We just purchased our Koup last week (SX Manual Trans) and I've been unable to use the bluetooth function. It pairs with my TMobile MyTouch 4G just fine, and sometimes it even says that it's connected--it always says it's connected on the phone, at least. But anytime I press the voice prompt button, it always displays "Downloading Phonebook" on the screen and never does anything else. Even drove around for an hour waiting for it and nothing changed. (Of course, I didn't mind the drive at all!
)
My hubby also has a MyTouch 4G. Pairing and connecting for him produce the same exact results. PLUS, we've gotten a loaner car (while the dealer puts some final touches on our Koup), and the loaner Forte Sedan does the same exact thing too!
Has anyone gotten their TMobile MyTouch 4G to pair & connect AND be able to make calls? And if so, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Hmmm... I thought I had done that on one try or another. But, maybe I just didn't get everything cleared after the initial failure. Now that I've successfully paired/connected with the loaner Forte Sedan, I have hope that the next try on my Koup will finally work. I will definitely delete the phone from the car AND the car from the phone before I try again. Thanks for the suggestion! And of course, I'll be pinning the dealer down for help before I take the car home. *wink*

Well heck, RunOfLuck, I thought I had searched thru all the posts and didn't find anything specific to the MyTouch 4G. Must have missed yours. Posted my own after trying all the suggestions for other phones.
As for my status... Finally picked up my car last night and worked with the dealer until I was able to connect. Yay! But it first failed, meaning I was able to pair and connect, but the "downloading phonebook" message wouldn't go away. So, with the dealer's help, I went thru this process:
On my phone, I deleted my call history and the bluetooth headset I already had paired, then powered off the phone. On the car, I deleted the phone and turned it off. Gave it a few minutes, then started the car again and powered my phone on. Turned Bluetooth on for the phone and in the settings made it 'discoverable' (which it does for something like 119 seconds or so). On the car, went to "setup", "phone", and "pair". Back on the phone, I ticked the "scan for devices" option. The phone asked for the validation code (0000) almost immediately. Typed it in and the car spoke "Phone Paired", while on the phone it listed "FORTE KOUP--paired but not connected". On the phone, I tapped the newly paired Forte Koup entry and the car's display read "Kat-MyTouch 4G Connection Complete". Now... we'd already gotten thru these steps successfully once. But when I pressed the talk button on the car this time, instead of displaying "downloading phonebook" on the car's display for an eternity, it asked me for a command almost immediately. Yay! And away we went!
I have absolutely NO idea what we did differently the 2nd time around. Perhaps it's like RunOfLuck suggested--it was trying to download external contacts (I don't have Twitter, but I do have a lot of Facebook contacts) and by restarting the phone and the car, it stopped that process. I don't know. At this point, I don't care.
Thanks for all your help & suggestions, everyone! Happy driving!

Oh, there's one step in there I forgot to mention. After the connection between the two was complete, my phone displayed a message that said something to the effect of "FORTE KOUP is requesting access to your phonebook" and it gave me an option to accept or deny, and of course, I accepted it after ticking the "always accept" button. On hindsight, perhaps it was this step that I didn't do right the first time. Maybe by accepting the Koup's inquiry on the phone right away, it made a difference. *shrug* Who knows?
