Default Hands free

Hey has anyone figured out if the handfree buttons on the radio do anything? I don't have bluetooth yet. The owners manual seems to have a loop to nowhere. See section yada yada. Section yada makes no mention of hands free operation.

I actually called DC on this, and apparently there was a mistake made at the factory with the face plates, the MP3/Sirrus model that has the uconnect buttons on it DOES NOT have hands free:sad:

They siad they are looking into aftermarket options now, but definatley sucks, I spent an hour trying to get my bluetooth phone to connect, but always just got uconnect not avail

It should just play a message that says," No, You Connect It"!

Yeah I think about my buying experience I was a little disappointed when we found out the Blue tooth didn't work after the purchase in the parking lot. The salesman had sure talked it up but then to find out it didn't even work pissed me off a bit. They're all whores.

That appears to be my experience. The more questions I ask, the less they seem to know. Then they want me to rate the salesman in the top percentile on a customer survey (which I haven't received yet). At first, I planned to be effusive with praise. But the more I think about it, the less enamored I am.

Soft top price. U-Connect. "Flashing". It's starting to add up.

My sales person told me about the uconnect too. Then when I called back to say that I did not have it she told me it would cost me $499.00. She still does not realize that it does not exist yet. And they asked me to give her a good score on the survey.
