Anyone use a Treo 650 with a Chrylser UConnect system?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.sprintpcs,rec.autos.makers.chrysler (More info?)

I tried out the Treo 650 in my new 300C today. I was able to get it to
connect to the bluetooth system in the car but it didn't do it reliably.
The system found the Treo on only 1 out out 3 tries. The Sprint guy said
there are some firmware updates for the Treo that might help. Does anyone
have a Treo and a Chrysler with UConnect? How well does it work, is there
a trick to making it connect reliably? I'd really like to get a Treo but
if it it doesn't work any better then I saw today then I'll have to go
hunting for a different phone.

I haven't bought it yet, I went to the Sprint store and tried a demo unit.
The thing that I'm trying to find out is if the Treo with the latest
firmware will work reliably. Obviously I don't want to shell out $450 for
a phone that doesn't work with my car. Thanks for the pointer to the
treocentral site, I'll take a look there.
