To be clear, it's merely the CALL / dial function that doesn't work, the PAIRING of car to phone work properly.
I could have probably corrected the 2 dozen or so typically-dialed phone numbers that I commonly used manually via editing at https://mail.google.com/mail/#contacts , but I live to make things a bit more complex and systematic for the sport of it... others out there have this issue, and it doesn't apply just to the T-Mobile G1 but the car itself, so here comes JT with the fix :) Ideas? Share. I see a Perl script reading / evaluating / parsing each phone number. Yeah? Where to start with tools / sample scripts?
