Bluetooth looses phone pairing - GreenHybrid

I have a Motorola V360 that I have had for almost a year. Used it for about that long in 2 different Acura TLs with no probelms. I have my TCH just under 2 weeks and it seems that the TCH/phone loose their pairing every few days. Anyone else having this problem?

Neither my TCH or TCXLEV6 have lost pairing. I've had the XLE since early March and the TCH since early July.
I'll take your definition of "Lost Pairing" is the icon for your V360 has disappeared?
Is there still a profile in the V360 for the TCH HADNSFREE?

The V360 still has the profile, but when you tell it to find it it says Bluetooth busy. I have to force it to power off the Bluetooth then have it try and reconnect.

I'll assume you have the TCH set to AUTOMATIC in BT?
What does it show when you do INFO->TELPHONE->SETTINGS->BLUETOOTH
select your phone. Does the TCH think it's connected? Because if the phone says it's busy it's paired to another device. BT headphone perhaps? Do you have another BT handsfree/headset within range?

I will check, but it has fooudn the car automatically usually, as for being paired with anything else that is not likely as I don't have any other BT devices.

Is this the ONLY phone paired to the TCH?
It only automatically connects to the LAST ONE
is was connected to.

Only one phone to TCH and only one device (the TCH) to the phone.

Well, in closing, I will offer you these personal observations.
I have two Bluetooth capable phones. One a Sony Ericsson and one
a Motorola. The Toyota/bluetooth web site says the SE is fully supported and
the Motorola is (only) just supported but not fully supported.
When I use the Motorola I occasionally (rarely) get a bluetooth
connection failed message after turning on the TCH and I have to do a Menu-Telephone-Settings-Bluetooth-Connect(?) to get the session going.
With the SE it will (rarely) fail but it recovers the session in a few seconds. The Motorola does not.
The SE displays the battery condition the Motorola does not.
So I speculate you MAY be seeing a less than stellar bluetooth support
between the TCH and your Motorola phone.
That said I saw and see similar behavior with the Prius I traded in on the TCH and
the wife's '07 XLE.
Hope this helps,
J
