Hey,
could someone please advice my on the Parrot bluetooth before I go out and buy one.
Is it compatabile with the XDA II, when you use the Tom Tom does the instruction go through the bluetooh or is it heard through it own speaker.
I've heard that the parrot bluetooth connect trough the car speakers is this correct or does it have its own speakers?
Any information would be very greatful.
Regards
Gigi

Yes, it connects through the car speakers.

Don't think so - Parrot can play back phone calls through the car stereo (provided you have the right leads) but AFAIK TOM TOM doesn't route voice through the blue tooth headset.
If you want to go this route you need a wired car kit that basically takes audio from the wired headet socket.
Parrot in general is pretty cool but not as robust as some other BT phone kits. There are some new kits coming out now (the CK3300 WILL do what you want with the TOM TOM). But the XDA is still pretty poor for handsfree use in the car.
I have the Parrot CK 3300 with the XDAII running TT2. I can't manage to get the voice commands from TT2 out of the headset BT to the car speakers. Can't seem to find a setting in XDA settings or TT2.
Anyone got any ideas?
FYI phone works fine and voice commands work also have wifes T39m paired up and it will receive a call on either phone. havent tried phone on T39m and GPS to XDAII simultaneous yet though.
Can't delete 'beamed' contact from CK3300 and dont want to remove voice tags via deleting pairing.
Oh and if XDAII not GPS paired, ie while at work Tom tom slower than a DEAD snail! Anyone got idea on that?.
Parrot beats plugging it in!

Hi guys,
anybody can help me to find out using the bluetooth earphone hearing the mp3, i'm using the mini xda , also is it possible to dial phone number using the vito voice using the earphone
thanks
I´m looking for a solution of similar problem too. But there seems to be a problem in Windows Phone Edition. The Bluetooth stack works together only with the radio stack. Means it supports only the Headset or the Handsfree profile.
What we need is the support of an Audio profile. In the case of stereo output there is another problem. Bluetooth is too slow to transfer it properly.
Maybe you will find other hints when looking for other key words in the forum: "navi speech output", "widcom bt stack" or "bth tools"
I´m looking for it because I want to hear the output of Navigon on my bike (that would be mono). The widcom bt stack is under construction and may support the profile in the future. The BTH Tools is an addon to the MS BT stack and solves some problems with Headsets and GPS mice. :?
Another solution would be to fit an bt transmitter in the earphone jack and use an separate receiver with normal earphones. But the harware is really fat, because its usually developed for home entertainment. :shock:
i'm getting these
http://www.bluetake.com/products/BT420EX.htm
they work
Okay, I found them too. But with a price of about $ 200,00 they are to epensive. I won´t divide them into parts to fit them into my helmet.
I am looking for a quick and easy way to integrate my trinity with my car.
Currently I have have a generic car mount with charger. However, I find that TomTom and telephone calls over the speakers are too quiet.
I was thinking of installing a Parrot MK6000 in my car as a method to stream audio from my trinity to the car stereo whilst also acting as a car kit for hands free use while driving. Has anybody had any experience with wiring up this kit? is it easy for a moderate level electronics users (able to solder wires proficiently etc.) to wire up?
Alternatively does anybody know of other solutions to integrate the trinity with the car stereo?
Hello:
I installed this hands free in my car, and it works really fine as a hands free. The audio streaming works well too, but the sound is quite methalic. With tomtom, there is a delay in the sound, the first word it says, for example "...Turn on the left in...." you listen "...urn on the left in ..." and it hanpens allways when tomtom starts to talk.
My OS version is wm5 and I read that wm6 solves this problem.
I recently bought a LG LAC7700R (carstereo with bluetooth and cd/mp3/wma player, with a seperate mic you can place somewhere in your car) works good, up to 5 phones can connect, last six called contacts it will remember. no phonebook in carstereo. Carstereo mutes automaticly by incoming call. You can even use BT audiostream.
i have always BT on, on my phone, it will connect by itself with the carstereo.
works fine for me.
now i am looking for a nice phoneholder with only a charger.

I have a similar setup, with the Sony MEX-BT2500 instead.
However I did not manage to route the Tomtom or iGO sound over the BT A2DP stream.
As a charging holder I have the Brodit Cradle installed.

check this, maybe it will help:
goto bt settings in your phone and activate bluetooth stereo on. that's the thing for play mp3's and navigationvoices over BT. The handsfree mode is for phone voice. (leave that on!)
does sony support a2dp ? maybe that's the problem.

Actually I bought the Sony because it supports A2DP. And with MortPlayer it works flawless when listening music. With activated Bluetooth Stereo (Headphone Symbol in top bar) Tomtom still uses the internal speaker.
Hello, I would like to install a bluetooth car kit to be paired with P3600.
I'm searching for a fixed kit to be connected to the audio car system and capable (at least) to be used as hands free and to route phone calls and tomtom voice instructions through car speakers.
I was looking for the Parrot MK6000 but on Parrot forum I've found that this kit don't work properly with windows mobile devices.
In detail seems that you loose the first part of voice GPS instructions (a delay on connection?).
Someone has a positive experience with a bluetooth carkit paired with P3600?
I'm waiting for your suggestions....
Many thanks,
Marco
That Parrot (Parrot MK6000 Bluetooth Carkit) is compatible with P3600, don't worry.

Thank you for your opinion Svenitos.... but it's based on your own experience or on Parrot compatibility list?
I'm worried about feedbacks on Parrot forums (i.e. this one... http://www.parrot.com/forums/english/viewtopic.php?id=4637) and I don't want to buy an equipment and to pay for car installation just to discover that doesn't match with my Trinity....
Any real experience with this kit or other similar carkit is still appreciated...
Thanks
Marco
It's based on the list of Parrot, not on my own experience..
I have used two Parrot BT handsfree carkits (CK 3000 and CK 3000 Evolution and with different telephones (HTC Trinity, Nokia 6230i and SonyEricsson 830) without any problems whatsoever.
The sound quality in Parrot sets is excellent, best I´ve ever heard - next set will definately be Parrot again.
Voice instructions from TomTom and iGo/MioMap etc. navigation software will not be directed through the BT though - only telephone calls...

Thank you, theknf.
New generation of Parrot carkits MKxxxx uses also A2DP connection for stereo music streaming and also to route any PDA sound through BT.
Unfortunately seems that A2DP channel is still active when paired, so Parrot is checking if there is any sound on this channel to switch the loudspeakers from car audio system to the Parrot output.
This switch takes a couple of seconds, so you loose the first part of your favorite song or the first words of your navigation software voice instructions.
Did you never tried a patch like AudioBT to route voice instructions through your Parrot CK series carkit? This can be a workaround...
Thanks

No, I never tried that - I always disable voice instructions when using navigation - I just use the visual effects......

Hi,
FYI, it works per-fec-tly with my Parrot 3100... (Before and after the Parrot ROM update)
Since WM6, I have radio signal and baterry gauge.
But with my TOMTOM gps software, the sound still come from the phone...
Regards,
Franck
I have a Sony car radio MEX-BT2500 with bluetooth handsfree AND A2DP streaming. It costs about 150 Euros.
Works very good, used it with my old Magician without any troubles, and you dont have more devices and cables floating around in your car.
I can use it even with open roof in my cabriolet.
So far my new P3600 with WM6 works also, the only problem in the moment is that is does not auto reconnect the A2DP profile. However the handsfree is reconnected automatically.
When A2DP is connected, then you hear music and/or Tomtom over the car speakers.
I used a NOKIA CK-7W kit for some time. The TomTom voice instructions are not heared on the kit. They keep coming from the trinity.
Concerning the usage for phone calls, my experience is really bad. I can hear my interlocutor with good quality sound, but he is always complaining that he can't hear me correctly. There are constant interruptions in the sound.
I am now using a bluetooth headset.

Hey All,
I have a Diamond, and a cardo rider Q2 for my motorbike helmet. They pair up nicely for phone calls, but I cannot get music to stream to the helmet.
All other functions work fine. If I press a button on the phone the sound of the button comes through.
The annoying thing is that my friend has a N95 and it works just fine, so I know the headset is capable.
Is there some setting that I need to change? Or a download to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated. And please take it easy on me as I am not very capable with technology.
Thanks In advance
Adam
Adam,
Double click on the icon of the paired headphones on the bluetooth screen and make sure that Wireless Stereo is ticked.
The system is using two profiles- one for phone calls (headphones) and the other for music (Wireless Stereo). Yout helmet BT earphones should be able to switch in between as long as they are enabled.
CD
Hey CD, thanks, I tried that, but..
When I do that it only gives me the option of "hands free".
If I plug in my wired HTC head phones while maintaining the blue tooth connection to my helmet and play music the music comes through the wired headset, but when I try to voice activate an outgoing phone call the music changes from the wired headset to the bluetooth headset temporarily.
I have the same problem (posted on another thread) Jabra 320's I use to cycle to work, worked OK with my SE W880i. But like you the TD only registers 'hands free', I have checked the profile in BT and it only shows hands free, there is no BT Stereo box to tick/untick. I have tried installing/uninstalling and using a third party BT program (recommend in a previous thread) and have just upgraded to the new official Rom all to no avail.
I think the TD likes some stereo headset's but sees some others as just a mono handsfree unit.

I have the same Jabra 320's... finally got them working as Wireless stereo pressing the main button again and again during pairing... I didn't know it was going to work - It was out of frustration!!!
I tried several times with my 320's (deleted, re-installed, tried different ways/software) all to no avail.
There is a software upgrade for the 320's on the Jabra site but you need a special usb connector to flash the unit.
In the end I picked up the newer BT3030 cheaply on e-bay and they were recognised straight away as Handsfree and stereo BT streaming.
Both the 320's and 3030's have the A2DP profile, so not sure why the don't see the 320's correctly?
So happily cycling to work again with the BT3030 and listening to BT stereo.
In order for you to do what you want your headset must support A2DP Bluetooth profile (and even if it does it may not work!). That is the profile needed to send stereo music from the HTC. Most handsfree units do not do that - they just support headset and handset Bluetooth profiles.
There is a utility available called BTMusic that can be downloaded free from here. This will allow music to be sent using the headset or handset Bluetooth profiles, and it worked with my Parrot car kit, so it may work for you. The problem is that it is mono only and the quality of the sound is not brilliant - after all these profiles were never designed for that.
So the alternative is to find a new headset that supports both handsfree and A2DP profiles and works with both.
umm yea... i went through EVERY SINGLE thread this thing has. none of the programs work for me period.
Hello. I am really struggling....I need a over the ear bluetooth headset which supports A2DP. I don't want any solution which implies earphones...like jabra BT3030 or any similar 'a2dp' box where you can connect your earphones through 3.5mm jack.
So it seems really impossible to find a normal headset which can send me (for exemple) sounds from the games I play on android while on the bus while remaining available to phone calls without switching headsets.
I googled a lot. I found jabra Bt530, bt8040, jabra extreme, there is a jabra 8010 hard to find which costs a kidney....
is there anything CHEAP that can do the job? The items listed above cost really too much for what they are. And I repeat, I am really not interested in those solutions where you need to use wired earphones with the bluetooth adapter...there is no point of having a bluetooth headset if you anyway have to have wires all over your jacket...
I actually just found an application (bluetooth switcher) that can send every sound from the phone to any bluetooth headset! In my case, I was wearing a gioteck EX-02 (it is a PS3 headset).
Well it is a nice solution...although this headset doesn't have a call button to answer the calls....but yeah I can have music and games on this non-A2DP headset! Wonderful!
I'll wait for your replies though...sure I am missing something...
I wanted the same thing. I got a Blueant T1. It is wonderful.

thank you for the reply. yes your answers are a good alternative...unfortunately the headsets linked are pretty expensive for what they offer...I think I'll stick with my Gioteck EX-02 which i can use with both the ps3 and the mobile phone...now that I have found this application on android that can redirect every sound to a normal non-A2DP headset, I don't need a new headset with A2DP protocol.
As soon as I get a chance, though, I'll compare the quality: I don't know if it's the headset itself, the bluetooth transmission of my phone, or the low quality broadcast by the android application that redirects the sounds....but the sounds in games don't sound really wonderful. I'll have to check this as soon as I get the chance to try a 'real' A2DP headset.
thank you all
