[QUOTE="lonerider, post: 894429, member: 17455"] Had a similar experience with my Motorola Droid, Scala G4 and zumo 550. I could pair the phone to the zumo first (as per the directions), then the Scala to the zumo as a headset. It would show the Droid's phonebook and make a test call. After a time, it would not make calls, though it still showed as paired. I'd stop, unpair and re pair and it would work for a while. Since the zumo's icon always showed it as paired, I never knew when it was working. Not the reliability I need to field a possible emergency call from home. I ended up disabling the zumo's Bluetooth and pairing the Droid directly to the Scala, using voice dial to dial out, whereupon it worked flawlessly. This same Droid has worked perfectly through a Pioneer stereo in my F150 and a Bose stereo in my Mazda, so my assumption is that Garmin's Bluetooth software in the Zumo is pure crap. When I contacted them via e mail, they were of no help whatsoever. Also had to do numerous resets to the zumo when trying to use the Bluetooth, where I'd only had to do 1 or 2 before in all the years I've had it, before enabling the Bluetooth. I have always updated the zumo's software as soon as updates were available. The zumo has always worked satisfactorily as a GPS for me, but I'd advise against buying one for the Bluetooth capabilities, YMMV. [/QUOTE]
