I just received a RAZR V3xx to replace my V557, but I've noticed a difference with the way this phone interacts with my car. On my V557, if a call came in, it would not only ring on the phone, but also through the speakers. The phone's ring was different from my "normal" ring, but it wasn't anything that I ever set. This was especially handy if I was outside the car while it's running, as I would be alerted if there was a call. I've missed several calls because I didn't hear the "ring" from the car's speakers. Also, if I missed a call, I would get a "beep" from my old phone telling me that there is a voicemail message. No dice with the new phone.

Am I missing a setting on either the V3xx or car's BT that should be adjusted? Thanks!

I have the V3M. My 06 325 rings thru the speakers when BT is paired. Silences the radio and rings. I get beep notifications from the phone (NOT the car) when I have messages. I don't know of any settings in the phone that may be causing you to not get alarms.

May be an issue with the phone?

Thanks for the reply! It's possible that it may be an issue with the phone, as the V3xx is a next generation RAZR. The software and interface is very different, and it may be that which is causing the difference. Does your phone ring at the same time that your radio cuts out and rings through the speakers? Thanks!

I think there's like a 1 or 2 second delay (phone first then car)

Unfortunately, I'm not even getting a delay. Once my phone is connected to the car, it stays silent and only rings through the car. I missed 2 more calls today! :mad: There has to be some sort of setting that I'm missing.

I have the same V3X and I get the same bro. The phone will ring and all other sound would stop in the car. Never knew about the ring but I have a different ring tone 'if that makes it change'.

Which one rings, the phone itself or the "ring" through the car's speakers? Right now, my phone doesn't ring, and I just get the "ring" through the audio system. I'd like to have it that both ring, like they did when I had my v557. This way, when I'm outside my car while it's running and connected to the bluetooth, I can still know that there is an incoming call. Any suggestions?
