so I came across an issue that I never expected.
I have a Ford with Sync (love it). So, I get into my car and I see a VVM. I push to listen but I CANNOT listen to my VVM in my car with Sync.
It seems the issue is the Droid is routing the VVM thru the "bluetooth headset" (it shows) at all times once a Ford Sync is connected. I guess that seems logical, kind of. And of course, the Ford Sync does not initiate - so no speaker sound - unless you make a call. So, the Droid is playing the VVM via BT but since BT is not initiated by just listening to a VVM, the VVM is playing into thin air. No way to listen to it. You can't put it on speaker phone the Droid and you can't put the Sync to be able to listen as it can only do that if on a call.
Furthermore, IF you go ahead and dial into your voice mail direct, defeats the purpose of VVM, you have to cycle through all of your VM to get to the new one AND if you delete any, it deletes them off the phones VVM menu.
So, I see only 3 lame methods:
1. dial into your VM and bypass VVM
2. turn BT off on the phone, listen, turn it back on to Sync with your car
3. disconnect the BT Sync on your car, listen, reinitiate the BT Sync with your phone.
