Can I pair an LGenV3 phone with 2010 Kia Soul. My current phone is not compatible. Kia’s list of phones are all out of date

Love my Kia Soul also, the only thing I dont like is the tires, already got a punchture and it was not repairable, after only having the vehicle 2 months and the warrantee is a joke, there is none.
Otherwise, great vehicle

It DOES power a small portable drive… Using a 250 GB LaCie portable drive with no issues… Certain it would work with a WD Passport, or any other 2.5″ based Drive… So long as the drive is small (Meaning it contains a notebook sized hdd as it’s internal drive, NOT a 3.5″ desktop hdd) Basically, if it’s a drive of any kind that does not require external power or even a Y-shaped usb cable (One for data, the other for power… or 2 into 1)… It should work!

Jean: you’ll need to put that code into your phone in order to pair it with the car via bluetooth. It’s the secret password that is shared between your phone and the car.

Having trouble pairing my phone to my soul what am I supposed to do with the code number

I’ve had my Soul for 1 month (ha ha that sounds funny out loud) anyway…I’ve paired my windows mobile phone and my Samsung Propel flawlessly, however, my the system will not pull my wife’s LG VU. You can still dial by number, but, no calling by name.
I love every feature of this car and I’ve begun to do after market installs on it. I found the side blinkers for $50 and the Stainless steel grill for about $40. I’m looking into a remote starter, but that’s more of a $350 (installed) upgrade.
I love the USB option and the fact that it reads my 16GB flash drive. I’m a tech dude so I’m driven by the tech specs. I’m trying to see if I can intergrate my Netbook with a slide out drawer in the huge glove box. A lot of factors to consider, but in the end I’m sure it’s doable.
Has anyone tried a portable HDD in the USB. Does the USB port have the power to power it?

Heidi: What kind of phone do you have? It’s not uncommon for different phones to not quite work properly with car bluetooth systems. The Kia system works flawlessly with my iPhone 3GS (and 3G & 2G models).
