So I've just bought a JVC KW-AVX 740. Great little unit, comes with bluetooth support built in.
Unfortunately, my Galaxy S doesn't integrate as well as it should. Both the unit and the Galaxy S support PBAP. The unit is capable of accessing dialled/received/missed call lists as well as the phonebook and voice dialling on compatible phones. However when pair/connect up my Galaxy S to the unit, the functionality is quite limited.
I can:
However, the unit is unable to:
To double check it wasn't my unit playing up, I decided to hook up my Nokia 5130 Xpress Music - result?, it worked flawlessly.... Pairing was instant, as it is with the Galaxy S, except everything worked as it should. I could view the lists on my phone through the headunit and access the 5130s phonebook. Everything sync'd perfectly.
So it's not the headunit, meaning it's either Android or something Samsung have done to Android.
When I pair/connect the Galaxy S I do not get a prompt asking me if I want to grant the bluetooth device access to the phonebook - which is what is supposed to happen (and I've read about other peopel receiving this prompt when connecting their Galaxy S's to other car kits e.g. factory car bluetooth etc). When I check the device options in Bluetooth settings on the Galaxy S, under profiles all it shows is "Phone (use for phone audio)" and "Media (use for media audio)". Both boxes are ticked. Shouldn't it show other profiles like PBAP etc?
Does anyone have a picture of what the prompt looks like on the Galaxy S?
Phone details:
OS ver: Gingerbread 2.3.3 official and totally stock (no root, etc)
Basband: I9000XXJVO
Build num: GINGERBREAD.XXJVO
None of the contacts on my phone are synced up with Gmail/Exchange/Facebook. I added all my contacts by hand into the phone's memory.
Question: What's going on? Or more importantly how do I fix it?

I can:
- Make calls from the headunit
- Receive calls via the headunit, so the handsfree element seems to work just fine. Quality is acceptable.
- Send my phonebook across manually either one by one or in one go so it is stored on my headunit's memory (this worked flawlessly and was quick)
- Play music from the Galaxy S over bluetooth through the headunit (quality is pretty good with no issues to report although I'm yet to do some more complex tests e.g. see what happens if I receive a call whilst streaming audio at the same time)
However, the unit is unable to:
- Voice dial
- Access the phonebook of my Galaxy S,
- Access the dialled/received/missed calls lists
- No SMS alerts
