Hi. Just taken delivery of a 2010 Yeti and I am having problems with the Bluetooth connection. My Samsung galaxy S3 phone is paired OK but the connection to the bolero unit keeps dropping while I am driving. I have removed all other Bluetooth devices on the bolero and done a factory reset. On the phone I have installed the latest firmware.
Has anyone else had this problem and,if so, did they find a cure??

Have a look at this post, it may answer your question.http://www.yetiownersclub.co.uk/forum/bluetooth-conectivity_topic760.html

Can you pair other devices to the Bolero without it dropping out? Can you pair the phone to something else similarly? That may narrow the issue to which of the two devices involved is the one causing the drop outs.

I have a Samsung feature phone which constantly drops its connection to the Yeti's bluetooth. Other phones t hat I've paired with my Yeti, including a Blackberry, a Sony Xperia smartphone and two Motorola Defys have held the connection with no problem at all. I suspect there's something in the Samsung bluetooth implementation which doesn't play nicely with some of the Yeti bluetooth versions.

Thanks for the advice. I have checked the connection using an htc phone and an I phone with no drop problems so the conclusion is Yeti Bluetooth does not like Samsung phones. The cure has been to change to an iPhone 4 which is a lot less expensive than the local Skoda dealer who quoted £399 to upgrade the Yeti Bluetooth with no guarantee of success.

Admunsen won't load your Samsung phone book? Check out: http://www.android-rsap.com/bluetooth-phonebook.html

My Samsung Galaxy W works but car would not load phone book. Search play store for "Bluetooth phone book", install android-rsap.com app on phone and voila! it works.

Mine refused to call from the car then I realised I had installed Skype which requires you to specify type of call.....deleted Skype .....fixed problem.

Dual Sim Chinese Phone - just bought a dual sim phone (£68-00 LOL) - I run the company Sim and my own and it connected fine. The phonebook was more of a problem until I realised that it was trying to download both address books and the phone was timing out. Now sorted - both books are merged in the Yetis system and I can call out on 3 (which I want to do) but receive calls from both Sims. Perfect - very happy Snow Monster!
