My DumbPhone and SmartCar are not on speaking terms. ;-(

My DumbPhone and SmartCar are not on speaking terms. ;-(
For some reason my HTC Evo Shift and 2011 Kia Koup don't get along. I don't get it. I wash my Koup more than once a week and let her scream on the highway whenever she likes and I got a nice cozy case and Anti-Virus (it's all about protection, right?) for my Evo Shift . There's no call for this jealousy.

Here's the thing:
They will pair via Bluetooth but only occasionally will they actually connect. So, when i press the call button on the steering wheel it just says 'Downloading Phonebook' EVERY SINGLE TIME! I was thinking maybe it's a compatibility issue, but why would it work sometimes and not others. So, is it Koup issue or an Evo issue.

Possible ingredients to solution:
1 part bicycle
1 part string
2 parts solo cup
Serve Neat!

My wife pared her's in 10 minutes. The problem most people have is that there is a 2 step process and most people think at the end of step 1 they are done.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I know about the 2 step process. It linked up to my Blackberry with the greatest of ease. For some reason it just doesn't seem to get along with Android. Any chance Kia has a way of updating software every so often so that this may be rectified. I'd hate to think that in 3 years when the world of cellular technology has gone through yet another complete overhaul i wouldn't be able to use it at all.

It's not like i'm asking for 3D holograms ;-)

I think I remember reading about a software upgrade. Call your dealer and see.

Software upgrade?! Oh! You've definitely got my attention now! I'm such a techy-dork when it comes to updates and upgrades.
