Can you have both work at the same time??? Bluetooth car phone kit and Bluetooth Tomtom.
:? Thanks Peter.
Yes you can, i do it with my HCB300 car kit and a Bluetooth GPS.
(i thought it was not possible too ... i think it can be done because car kit uses a diferent protocol than Bluetooth gps ...)
But it is possible and works fine!

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!
I have a Nokia CW-7K Bluetooth (Advanced Car Kit), and I have successfully paired it with my Qtek 8310, but when I connect them together it show the car kit as a headset profile. I am wondering if there is a way to change it so that it will appear as a Car Kit instead.
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
Marco

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...

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.

is there a program that can delete bluetooth pairing information for a device?
i have a scosche bluelife car kit and its bluetooth 1.2 therefore a2dp does not auto reconnect. so every time i get in the car i have to goto the buletooth connection settings and delete the scosche device from the list, and re-pair it. nice thing tho is it auto pairs when i turn the car on, so if its not on the list when i turn the car on a message pops up on my phone to pair with the scosche kit. so yah, are there any programs out there so i can make this process a little easier?
thanks!
I own a parrot carkit with bt v1.2 but never experienced this.
But you can try HTC BT quicklink. it makes a shortcut on the desktop where you can create a BT link.
Also go to HKLM\software\microsoft\bluetooth\device\"some number"\trusted
and make sure it is set to 1

i was told that A2DP in 1.2 willnot auto reconnect. the handsfree will auto reconnect with 1.2, but A2DP doesnt until 2.0. this is what scosche told me anyways.
