Parrot CK3000 Bluetooh

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.
Take a look at http://www.parrot.fr

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!

Hear the mp3 at bluetooth earphone

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.

Integrating trinity with car

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.

Help with blue tooth music streaming

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.

HELP!!! Bluetooth and radio.

I am the happy owner of a HTC Topaz.
I ride a motorbike, and have recently bought a bluetooth crash helmet with built in speakers / mic which works a treat for answering and making calls and also for listening to TomTom navigation instructions from my HTC Topaz.
However, I have yet found a solution to allow me to listen to the built in radio via bluetooth. Because HTC requires the plug-in headset to act as an antena the radio doesnt work without it.
However when I plug in the headset, i get instant radio reception but then the sound is routed to the plug-in headset , rather thean the bluetooth speakers.
My logic tells me that there must be some way to use the plug in headset as ONLY an antena allowing the sound to be routed by deafault to the bluetooth headset. Surely this is software driven?
I am not a software Guru, but keen to learn and frustreted that there doesnt seem to be a yet obvious solution to this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
