Good phones with SIM access profile

**rpmay** · 17-02-2012,01:33 PM

Hi,

I have a 2011 Audi A6, with the high phone preparation.

This uses SIM access profile, rather than a handsfree profile.

I currently have an HTC HD2 (with a slightly dodgy ROM) which works fine, but from time to time the phone and the car will detach and I then have to reboot the phone and reconnect the MMI which is not really acceptable when driving.

I planned to get an iPhone next, but this doesn't support SIM access profile at all.

Does anyone have any real world experience of SmartPhones that work well with the Audi, using SIM Access Profile.

Thanks,

Richard

My Blackberry Bold 9780 works faultlessly using SIM access profile with the high phone preparation - depends if you classify this as a smart phone though :-). Wireless internet access within the vehicle, Google Earth, online navigation searches, addresses, etc, etc.

Thank you for your suggestion, however I require a phone which supports Exchange integration, which means IOS, Android or Windows. I know that you can do a form of Exchange integration by means of BES, but this is a rather unpleasant way of acheiving this. (And I speak as a server administrator for a number of companies!)

Thanks anyway,

Richard

I think that if I wasn't wedded to the iPad, and therefore all the wonderful integration with the iPhone, I would get a Samsung Galaxy. But beware, not all models have rSAP, so make sure that the one you look at does.

If you google 'SIM Access Profile - Wikipedia' this will give you a list of rsap compatible phones, this may help.

Blackberry Bold 9900 works with no issues.

My Nokia E7 works without fault with my 3G+, also has Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Lync embedded if that's what you need?

Are you definitely using the 9900 in rSap mode? Just bought an A7 and my Bold 990 will not work. It connects but then just sticks at initialising phone - even more frustrated now seeing it seems to be working for someone else!!

Having read the definition of rsap I am not quite sure!! All my contacts come across fine and appear on the display. Not sure how rsap differs from that?

Can you use online services, such as Google Maps and WiFi with the phone connected by Bluetooth?

Yes - rSAP is working,
No - rSAP is not working.

Simples.
