how does Bluetooth work with this device?

One of the best features is the fact that you can speak to the GPS. Doesn't always understand my Caribbean accent but it works well. I've used this before I paired my cellphone to it so I'm not sure if this a Bluetooth feature or not

It's hit or miss... Sometimes it won't connect.. You have to manually connect from phone.. But once it's connected.. It will stay connected..

Works very well and hears my voice when I ask it to dial and the volume is excellent on hearing others voices. I am impressed. I had a small bluetooth speaker device for my cell phone before, which worked well, but not loud enough if there was much traffic. This has a good speaker. I like the device and spent hours researching. I was first going to buy a cheaper one and then decided to buy the newest with most features, since they all change so quickly each year.

On the Garmin web site, they only list smart phones. So I called Garmin, because I had a flip phone. I was told to go to a Best Buy and try it. The 2597LMT would not pair with my flip phone. However, the 2589LMT and 3597LMT paired beautifully. Unfortunately, there is quite a price difference between the 2597LMT and the other two.

I've used the Bluetooth to make and receive calls occasionally. Not the clearest conversation you're gonna have but it works. I haven't used the Bluetooth feature for anything else thus far.

You can integrate phone calls as mentioned by others. You can also download an app for your phone where you can push addresses to the device and some other things.

Yes, the bluetooth is what makes it work...I have it in my purse and it still works.

Exist a bluetooth module for this device. I don't know if it will work, suppose to work.

I found it to be useless. I does work somewhat on wifi, no idea about Bluetooth. I would not purchase it again. Good luck.

the device is bluetooth enabled so when you turn it on, go to your phones bluetooth settings and click on the device. done

As far as I can tell this device DOES NOT USE BLUETOOTH. It uses a proprietary USB dongle for wireless.

I don't know for sure but it seems to be a pretty generic Bluetooth device. For the price, I'd give it a try.

it works with Bluetooth. Not sure what else its compatable with, we used it with the iPad, galaxy tab and galaxy player.

I do not know. It all depends on the device transmitting the Bluetooth signal.

I would consider it a receiver.The bluetooth device you are connecting is transmitting a signal to it, which this unit receives and passes information to the computer.Technically, I'm sure it probably transmits and receives though.

Works with any device that has a USB port (for the wireless receiver). Does not work with bluetooth.

This device is not Bluetooth enabled. It is certainly not the ideal way to connect two devices, but if you have the right outputs and inputs it may be the least expensive way to bridge two devices. It accepts inputs for 3.5mm audio cable (standard output on a phone, tablet, laptop) and has another input for red/white like in an old fashion RCA cable. The outputs include an optical and a coaxial.

I don't know, it would never work right with my computer and life is too short to troubleshoot bluetooth.

It works for me. First you need to turn on the Bluetooth and scan and find the device. Once found you enter the special numeric code and sync. After that it connects automatically every time you turn it on.

I didn't spend much time actually trying to figure this thing out, but i don't believe there is a bluetooth capability with this device, but i could be wrong, if im any help.

I am using a Bluetooth dongle off of my desktop and have had no problems connecting. A little tricky to get it to connect, but once I got it connected it hasn't stopped rockin'!

No this is not Bluetooth sadly. You'll have to use the usb dongle that comes with it.
