I have been trying to get a windows mobile 6 device (Palm Treo 500V) working with my Freelander car connection. Managed to get it working and as I didn't find much help or info on the internet and it looks like a few other people are struggling with it so here's how I did it. Main cause of the problem seems to be the removal of dial up networking and the associated com ports from what I can gather.

What I did after much trial and error was to connect my phone to a bluetooth gps which created the missing com port (I think). Once that was done abandon the gps but leave the device on the list. I then downloaded the jetware sync software and installed it and the phone connected and synced with the Freelander with no problems. It might be using the com port, must be something like that because it didn't work before despite hours of trial and cursing. Haven't had any software updates from Land Rover or anything like that. My car is 3 months old so should have a fairly recent version on it anyway.

Cheers,

Simon

I have successfully got a Motorola Q9 to work with the car kit. This is running WM6.

I too have connected the treo 500 to the fl2 shame really as it would have sold for a good few £'s on ebay . Following Simons advice I connected to another bluetooth item first (my PC) then tried in the fl2. Things went badly initially, the cars screen first said it was permanently dialing (dialing who nobody knows?), then got stuck permanently syncing the phone book So I decided to give up, then I switched ignition back on for one last try and bingo its all working

So basically I used the old farmers technique of randomly pressing buttons and swearing until it worked.


Next to sync the treo to my pc's email etc could be more tricky??? oh and get O2 to activate internet use on my sim I cant email,send pics or anything despite asking them why not many times  At work
