Hi, guys, I have an 07 G sedan w/o Nav, my iPhone works well with the bluetooth, except when I receives an incoming call, it takes 6~7 seconds before I can start a conversation, but once it connects, the conversation is of good quality. Is it normal? Anybody experience this?

Edit: the latest firmware 2.1 for iPhone has solved this problem for the 1st Gen iPhone that I own (very likely also applies to the 2nd Gen phone).

I don't think the delay is that long in my car.

I have the same issue with my iphone. When I answer the phone it flips to the radio for about 5 seconds and then back to phone mode.
It started doing this after the first software ugrade from apple.

I don't think I have this issue, but I have noticed that even though I have programmed someone's number in the phone book, it still shows up as a private caller. Any thoughts?!

hey jazzjit23, what phone do you have? if iPhone, what software version is it?
I think in order to have a name show up, you will have to use "transfer entry" from your phone instead of using voice command when you set up an entry. I am using a Samsung just for transfering entry. I replace my iPhone with this Samsung, transfer all the entries one by one, and replace it back to iPhone. hope this helps.

Yep - it's a compatibility issue between Bluetooth 2.0 (iPhone) and 1.x (the G). My Razor never did it, but both of my iPhones have.

Hey applehj, I have a Samsung as well (A900M). I actually manually added these entries to the phonebook and setup a voice command for each name. When the person calls, it shows up as private but when it connects, it then shows the person's name. Any thoughts? You think if I do the phone transfer way it'll work?

mine is a non-Nav, so I am not sure how different is it between the Nav and nonNav. for me, when add an entry to the phonebook, I have only two options: enter the number digit by digit using voice command, or transfer from my phone. I have to use the latter in order to have the name showed.

Thanks, G35Now!. so seems like there is no solution. it's kinda annoying having to wait every time to answer a call. Especially think about the new phones are all bluetooth 2.0, but no way I would go back to an old phone.

Same problem here. Another user posted a solution. Press answer from the phone instead of the steering wheel to eliminate this problem. My phone is usually not within reach, which is why I use the steering wheel. But I will be sure to try this new technique next time I am in the car.

I will try that. I usually leave my phone in the pocket when driving. it would take more than a few seconds to take it out and press the button. hopefully infiniti (or apple) can come up with some solution soon.

I had a Motorola Razr and never noticed this delay.
I just recently moved to a LG Dare and I now see this delay as well.
It's not 5 seconds long, but there is a blip between the phone ringing and answering where the system goes back to the radio, but it's only a second at most.
