The handsfree entry was 1 when checked and 0 when uncheck.

Yeah, I can. When my nuvi is off, Bluetooth settings for it show Active Sync and OBEX Push checked, and Handsfree listed but not checked. When I turn the nuvi on then look at the list, Handsfree becomes checked. When I receive a call, I get on-screen notification identifying the caller using my named contacts. Both ringer and Voice Command notification audio come from the phone, but that is the other Bluetooth issue because once I answer, sound transfers to the nuvi.
I believe this is because on the headset page of Bluetooth settings (waay to the right...), the nuvi is SET as the handsfree. The design of that headset screen sure makes all this look very intentional by Samsung, BTW.
Where I run into trouble is once I turn on my headphones. First, they turn on in pairing mode because they don't see the partnership they want on the i760. When I go enable stereo headset, the headphones start the pairing process. Once that succeeds, the headphones are marked as a stereo headset and handsfree.
Once I do that, the headphones are the SET handsfree on the headset page. If I shut off the headphones and turn on the nuvi, it will sync contacts then pop up an error that the phone has disconnected (because it's done synching.) That's when I have to force the nuvi to handsfree and I lose the ability to connect the S9 without doing the rain dance.
