Watch the cables on ebay, most are not moto OEM and have problems,
nothing like loosing the connection in the middle of a seem upload...
The 710 cable is the same for an 815 and you can dowload the newest
version of the phone tools directly from moto. For more info go to
howardforums.com and you will find out much more than you thought
possible about the 815 and almost any other phone out there including how
to make it REALLY work right and turn on the full bluetooth capability
instead of just the HS and HF profile that verizon leaves turned on while
they turn off all the other OBE stuff.
Moving the transflash is a minor PIA, did you get one yet ? see how small
it is, pinkyfingernail sized and very easy to drop.
I also noticed they no longer offer the cable/tools on verizons web site
for some reason :-) and most of the stores around here don't carry them
and give you blank looks when you ask. If you do the seem edits correctly
then allyou need from then on is a bluetooth dongle for you pc at which
point it will be a drag and drop from the phone to the pc.
I put in Jensen am/fm/cd bluetooth head unit in my jeep and am very
satisfied, 90% anyway, still have some contacts names being displayed
correclty in the headunits lcd display but the ability to make and
receive calls over the jeeps stereo system is outstanding coupled with
the moto hangup cup to connect an external antenna and plug in a charger
makes a super combination.
