Ford Bluetooth - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

Hi
first thanks to mfrazzz for wm6r5 which I am using...great stuff. And to rest of guys for such easy instructions
Has any one any suggestions as to how I can get the phone to bond with a UK Ford Mondeo ? It finds the car when setting up a partnership but the car never recognised the phone has bonded with it. Seems there are some comments around about the Nokia software in the car but no answers.
Suggestions on other bluetooth stacks I could try on the MDA (UK T Mobile) ?
Cheers

XDA2 and BMW bluetooth

Has any one tried pairing and XDA2 (etc) to the BMW bluetooth kit. I'm hoping it will work for basic functionality because the BMW kit uses the headset profile on my Nokia. (rather than the handsfree profile)
Any one tried it?????
Thanks
Jon
916senna, I tried to get my XDA2 to work with the factory fitted BT in my BMW. The devices pair (Bond) but thats as far as it worked. when I turn on the ignition the phone isn't recognized.
My T68i works fine Will play around with it again soon when I have some spair time, but I think that it's due to a poor implementation of BT.
Hopefully a future Rom upgrade will do sort it out.
I would bet that the BMW uses the Handsfree-profile, that isn't suported by the XDA II
XDA II and BMW bluetooth
I've had the same issue. BMW GB don't want to know and say it's the XDA II. I have just emailed O2 for their response.

Which Bluetooth Headsets work properly with MDA II?

Hi Everybody,

I bought a Sony Errocson HBH-35, it isn't cheap.... but it's comfortable to wear, has great audioquality, 100 Hrs standby, 4-5 Hrs speaktime...
And more important : It worked ever since the first time i bonded it and has been ever since... No matter how i lost connection, out-of-range, softreset MDA, shutoff Headsetprofile, shutoff Headset itself, putting either of them on charge....
As soon als both are available again, they re-connect
And it automaticly transfers the phone conversation to the headset if available...
You don't get any extra features though, it works just as a wired headset, but without cables... But that's more the problem of the XDA/MDA II ...
[Edit: some silly typo's]
I have a HBH-35 which works fine every time even after switching both headset and I-mate off.
I tried with a Jabra and had many problems mainly due to having to have to re-bond all the time.
The HBH-35 may not be the most "modern" but has good battery, quality of sound is excellent and works!! with the I-mate.

Bluetrek BT headset
The Bluetrek is apparently highly recommended by others but has anybody tried it with XDAII?
Currently on sale for $39 at eCost below:
http://www.ecost.com/ecost/shop/detail.asp?dpno=8053
I have a Bluespoon Digital.
It works really well after you get used to it.
Its tiny, and takes a bit of practice to put in your ear but once you have the nack, its awsome.
10 grams, you can barly feel the weight and it is really easy to hear as the speaker is actually inserted in your ear and blocks out other sounds.
I'm very happy with it.
I also like the way the XDA allows you to take the call on the headset or the phone when it rings.

I´m actually using a JABRA 200 BT Headset for 2 weeks and it´s quite perfect.
The batteries are ok, it´s a pleasure to wear it.
On distances over 5m you can hear dropouts in the speaker, but that might be normal.
So I´m happy with it, especially when I use it in the car.
i have a question. i have an imate and a I95cl nextel (non bluetooth-for work)... is their a bt headset that i can use for both? sorry iam new to this ... they say that jabara bt200 has a non bluetooth headset that works on both non 2.5 mm and bt phones ... so 1. can i use at the same time 2. switch ????
I tried bonding my wife's Sony Ericsson HBH-30 with my Xda II, seems to work fine, not sure if it the best though.

If im trying make call XDAII work without Jabra What l make wrong? Help please anybody !

My BT headset
I use the Cellink mini bluetooth headset (BTHS6023 - http://www.cellink.com.tw) with my QTek 2020 (aka XDA II, iMate etc.) and it works ...
Cheers,
yes, that is the actiontec bluetooth mini headset, I just purchased before christmas from BestBuy. It seems to work well, and is nice and light. I modified it by removing the earpiece (that goes behind the ear) and put a jabra eargel over the speaker (fits good) and that works well. The headset is very lightweight even with the eargel it only weighs 15g.
I am using a Jabra BT 250 which is working perfectly with the 1.60 rom....
I had issues with re-bonding with the original 1.05 rom.
It would be even better if the advanced headset features like voice-dial would be working........
Plantronics M3000 or Cellink 6023 (same as so B-Speech?)
Hi,
I heard some people saying that the Plantronics M3000 BT headset is not compatible with the MDAII although T-Mobile Germany is selling it as accessory and says it is working :? Has anybody tried to bond a Plantronics M3000 with the MDAII?
Question: is the Cellink 6023 the same (it looks absolute identically) like the B-Speech headset :?:

I have and it works without a glitch. Obviously, some features of the M3000 don't work but, this is down to the bluetooth stack on XDA II.
Anyone Used the Jabra Freespeak 250 BT headset with an XDA2

MDA2 with the Nokia HDW-2 BT , bonding but no sound ...
I'm using my MDA2 with the Nokia HDW-2 BT , they bond but I get no sound on the Nokia earphone. Anybody knows the answer ?
no problems with the hbh-200 from sony ericsson, only the caller id functions aren't working yet.
I have purchased a Jabra 200 Freespeak but can't get it to connect to my XDA 11 - anyone got any helpful advice ?
Thanks
I bought a Jabra Freespeak 250 yesterday, works fine, pairs with no problems and maintains the pairing after turning the unit off, resetting the unit or turning the headset off and on.
Not as difficult as I thought it would be

HELP Which Bluetooth Car kit Works

Hi Everybody,
I would like to by the most suitable BT car kit for my MDA II.
but i donet know which works ? Which one do you redommend?
Dave
Thanks alot in advance for your advise!
Evening!
Right, first post so I'd better get this right!
Microsoft didn't bother to write the full apps into their standard bluetooth code so the XDAII (assume the mdaII is the same) only supports the "headset" profile - which would mean that normal ("full") car kits won't work as they use the "handsfree" profile.
However - the SonyEricsson HCB (or HBC - can't remember) 30 supports both profiles so the XDAII works fine - I've tried it, it just treats it has a headset.
If you are looking for one of the "plug-in" BT kits just check it runs on the headset profile and you should be fine!
Mike
Thanks alot Mike :lol:

XDA, Parrot3 and TomTom3

Hi all
I am new to this forum but I could really do with your wisdom.
I have an XDA 2 that I use for business use.
However I need a system for GPS and a hands free driving kit. I suspect that a bluetooth system is the way forward.
However reading these pages I believe that there have been several issues that have caused a great deal of consternation with the TomTom system.
O2 have really messed me around over the last year with their hands free kit. They have been unable to supply anything and with the new vehicle legislation they have been totally unprepared.
The system that I thought about using would be...
XDA2
Tomtom 3
Parrot CK3000
Has anybody tried it and if so is there anything else that I would need, ie cables, brackets, chargers etc.
Regards
TOP
I am using
xda2 with TOMTOM3 Bluetooth.
For Handsfree I use a Jabra Bt250 and it work fine.
Maybe you need to bluetooth Tools
I use a Parrot CK3000 carkit together with my Bleutooth TomTom GPS. It works all very good. The only thing is that the sound of your XDA is not comming via the carkit, but in the future that will be possible (with an upgrade of my XDA).
But for now it works very well.
I have a CK3000 and it works OK on its own. I have had some issues with integrating it with the Car Audio though (new Nissan Primera), but that is another matter.
The other thing I would point out... It is a real pain if you also have a Blue Tooth headset. You need to keep renaming from the Headset to the Carkit and vice versa.
The new version of BT Tools does sort out the multiple headset problem, however..... my CK3000 will not work with the new version, so I am using the older version till this is fixed.
My suggestion may be a fixed mount in the car of some sort, especially if charging the unit is required. That is the way I am thinking of going unless BTTools or the ROM is updated soon.
Thanks for all your help, it is much appreciated.
From what you have said everything should work fine.
With regard to the headset, I am determined to rid myself of this as I suffer from headaches if I wear it too much.
Surely once the Parrot is paired then can it not be set as the default vox unit?
EelcoV
Thanks for that. Its a great relief, however when you say that the sound is not coming from the car speakers is that for the TomTom system? Surely that is a good thing as I don't want my Mozart, Mendelson or Motorhead to be interupted with..."At the junction turn left!"
IanF
I am planning to use my Nissan Navara as my main vehicle for the Parrot kit, is the problem you are experiencing a Nissan thing?
Jupiter
Thank you from the moon of Titan...I will look for Blue Tools.
Does anyone know if a charger and bracket comes with either of these systems.
Regards

With the TomTom Navigator comes a brodit cradle, which will charge your XDA.

It is in the Primera because of the new Central (N-Form) console. The ISO connectors supplied on Parrot do not fit the Radio, which is built into the console, and there is no conversion kit on the market at the moment.
I was luck and had a Nokia Phone kit installed and intrgrated into the car when I bought it, so I have done a bit of extra wiring to this kit which has made it acceptable.
Check you can get an ISO Harness for your car model/radio.

That's Incorrect, you can buy Tomtom Navigator as a bundle with the TomTom Carkit, this is not the same as a Broditcradle.
I'm currently using a Carcomm XDAII cradle and it's superb. Available in the UK from TotalPDA.
Bluetooth handsfree/GPS
Hi all
Another newbie! I am contemplating buying TomTom3 Bluetooth for use with my xda2 (I want to be able to move it between my family's 2 vehicles). Any thoughts (I am not particularly concerned about the TomTom 3 Bluetooth GPS receiver's limited battery life as I would anticipate using it with a dual pda/gps charger cable)
I believe that there may also be an issue with using Bluetooth GPS and my Jabra BT250 headset together? I see Bluetooth Tools mentioned on here as a potential solution to this - is this a download package? Where can I obtain it?
Any help much appreciated. 8)
I'm using an O2 XDA2 with the standard bluetooth software (ie not using bluetooth tools or anyone elses bluetooth stack).
I use TomTom Navigator 3 with their own bluetooth GPS receiver and I also use a bluetooth telephone headset unit as well.
Both work fine - even at the same time.
I've used both a Plantronics M3000 headset and also a Parrot CK3000 in-car handsfree headset.
Either work fine either on their own or in parallel with the TomTom BT GPS.
The only problemmatical area is that the PDA can only pair with one bluetooth "headset" at a time - so if you want to use both a BT car kit and also a separate BT headset, you need to keep deleting one pairing and pairing to the other.
I gave up and lent my Plantronics headset to someone else - and now I just use the Parrot CK3000 car kit.
Oneday, the XDA2 might support the handsfree profile as well as the headset profile, but for the time being we're stuck with just the latter.
I tried installing bluetooth-tools to see if that would give me a hands-free profile but couldn't seem to get anything to work so I de-installed it quick...!

Newbie XDA/Sat Nav upgrade question

Hi, I've recently registered despite lurking for most to the time I've had my XDAII, but never had to ask a question becasue someone else got there first.
I'm being forced down the route of changing from my XDAII because the touchscreen section cracked yesterday Having said that given the amount of abuse I've given it I chuffed its lasted this long, probably a year better than any other phone I've had!
One of the major things I use my XDAII for is Sat Nav, using TT3 and a Holux GPS cradle, which is a very neat installation one power lead, no need to wire up a reciever or power a bluetooth reciever etc. My understanding is that all of this can be reused if i go to either the XDAIIi or XDAIIs, because the connector pins and OS are the same (or atleast similar) etc.
However if I upgrade to the XDA Exec, I'm going to need a new cradle, new GPS reciever (because I dont think anyone does a combined cradle and reciever for the Exec like I have currently), and new TT5 software to use with the 2005 spec OS? Does anyone do a powered/active 'stick to the windscreen' mount for the Exec, the Brodit unit looks like its vehicle specific, whic his great if you only drive one car...which I dont! does anyone do a wired GPS reciever to mate with the Exec or do I have to use tart mode, sorry bluetooth? :wink:
What are your thoughts on all of this? To Exec or not that is the question.
Regards
Iain
Brodit do a suction cup windscreen mount in the Proclip range. I would imagine this to remain compatible with their Exec cradle.
Hi,
I retail all the brodit kit, if you are not already sorted, ill be happy to advise if i can.
Hope that helps, PM if you need any assistance.
Thanks
Bryson
