Bluetooth Question
I also posted this on the LX board since I know the system in my LC is the same as that. I know I own a Land Cruiser, but I'm hoping the systems are similar.
Is there a way to "quickly" bypass the Bluetooth handsfree option for a particular call?
I have the Motorola V551. I successfully made the connections, and downloaded the address books to the Land Cruiser from both my phone and my wife's. The system seems to work flawlessly.
I just want to know if I can quickly transition to a handset, let's say for privacy if I have someone else in the car or if it get's too noisy.
I know I can turn off Bluetooth on the phone, but while on a call it would take a couple of steps.
I did look through the setup menus on the truck and nothing stands out. I'm going to comb through the trucks owner's manual again to see if I missed something.
THoughts?

Have been using bluetooth for at least two years before I had my GX, same problem with the BLUETOOTH headset (Phone and Headset matching Sony Ericsson) and unfortunately the answer is no...
Maybe the Motorola is different but I doubt it, as by default BLUETOOTH protocol is set for "active" scanning for incoming signel...
I usually just ask the caller to call back later... or I hang up and redial with bluetooth off, ambient noise (kids, traffic, "spouse" , other instances) will affect BLUETOOTH operation...

"Menu"+"2" = On
"Menu"+"3" = Off
So while I'm on the call and if I hit Menu 3, it should terminate the connection and ask me if I want to continue the call. I'll try it out and let you know.

FYI. This method works perfectly.
