Sanderlo - that debug is virtually identical to what leviathan18, jakoleh and I have as the Audi/SEAT/Skoda Bluetooth units of that era are pretty much the same. There's no easy fix as these units don't support PBAP.

The N900 can deal with some of those AT commands. It gets my signal strength on the display, although it can't deal with the "3 UK" operator or "N900" name, giving me "No Network" and "No user connected" instead.

The 810 contacts download was a Symbian fix but isn't going to port easily to the N900.

Oddly enough, iPhone users with iOS4 are also having trouble with these VAG bluetooth units, although on other forums the users are blaming PBAP!

What I'm interested in is how some other VAG owners with 2009/2010 models have this working. The newer GSMII bluetooth units perhaps do have PBAP.

I can answer a couple of my own questions from earlier. While ps | grep obex only output the switches "--nodaemon --opp --ftp --pcsuite ", it was because it cannot output any more characters. If I temporarily take out the --nodaemon switch but include --irmc (either in the service file or after manually starting obexd), it frees up 11 characters and the ps command will output "--opp --ftp --pcsuite --pbap --ir".

I know I have PBAP working on the N900 as it now automatically syncs with my Kenwood DNX8220BT in the other car, and very quickly too. I did have both --pbap and --irmc switches on so I'm not sure which it is that's working in my case. Another trial needed before I update the wiki.
