Does anyone know how to pair the blackberry 8700 to the '08 XKR? Just picked mine up yesterday and can't get either to recognize.

thanks,

Go to the BB website and upload the latest software, check the Jag website for compatibility.

Thanks, unfortunately I downloaded the software and it fried my BB.
It amazes me that at this level of a car you should have this kind of a problem. It should be seamless.

Appreciate the info

To be fair, bluetooth is never quite as simple as it first looks - there are loads of incompatibility issues between different manufacturers kit.

(eg. Nokia car kits will not work properly with Blackberries)

It's more the fault of the phone than the car.

Let's face it if Blackberry's software toasts the device when doing a firmware upgrade it doesn't exactly speak volumes for their competence.
