Has anyone used the vodaphone v1415 with BMW's bluetooth phone kit?
I am getting an E91 (3 series touring) this week and am interested in knowing if the phone will work fully with the BMW kit.
It should pair OK but I'm not sure if the car radio will display the phone book allowing hands free dialling.
BMW do not provide snap in adaptors for the phone which allows the phone to charge and connect to the car ariel.
Any feedback would be appreciated
Hi,
good news for you - the HTC Vox works fine with the Business Bluetooth Phone Kit (in Austria its SA633) in the BMW E91. I use this phone now for three days an noticed no problems with it. The pairing worked well and all of the contacts are transmitted with all phone numbers to the phone kit. The only thing to say is that each telephone number is transmitted as own contact sorted by first name. But in difference to the HTC Trinity which I have used before the speech quality is quite fine with the Vox.
Thanks for the reply - good news indeed.

Back on topic.
I am pleased to confirm that the v1415 works great with the BMW BT. Paired without issue and syncs fully with all my contacts.

Hi I am having trouble with this headset not detecting calls coming in or allowing me to switch to it while on calls!
I can use it once after bonding with the phone, and then thats it, it will not work anymore. It does beep if I turn bluetooth on or off on the phone, so it does detect it but it will not recognise calls anymore, unless I turn the headset off completely and On again and reset it and rebond, sometimes just turning it on and off is enough but not always.
Anyone else experience this? or have any ideas that may help?
I am using Rom version 1.72 and the Headset is revision R1B...
I am just not sure whether I should return the Headset or complain to imate?
As you know the XDA II does not support handsfree mode sadly, and if you have your Bluetooth device set to handsfree mode and not headset this causes problems answering your device.
This goes for the use of the bluetooth button with Nokia Cark-91 kits, they can bond, they will allow you to dail out and tranfer the call but answering the call can be tricky even on headset mode
Look at the manual for your HBH-35 and see how to set headset mode.
If you can't set it then I would take it back for a refund.
Look for an alternative headset, you shouldn't have to pay more than £65 in the high street now for a suitable headset.
If you do have problems finding one, I am importing 100 headsets from supplier in far east. These will work with your XDA II gaurenteed... Cost is £35 + P&P ( will ship world wide)
Details:
1. Clear voice, sound volume can be adjusted freely
2. Attractive appearance, many colours for choice
3. Powerful battery, standby time 120 hours and talking time up to 6 hours
4. Three different designs for spare earplug of SPEAKER
5. Light weight, less than 16g
6. Ear-hook can be taken off, without any influence on wearing
7. UK wall charger (like nokia phone charger) & car charger included.
I am looking at combinded USB/car chargers as accessories
Hi
I use an HBH-65 with bluetooth tools, it works really well, I can answer icoming calls and dial the last number from the hedset button.
I tried the HBH-35 before I bought the 65 and it worked perfectly, again using bluetooth tools.
Cheers

I had lots of problems with the Plantronics M3000 doing exactly the same thing on my Ozzie 1.66 Rom XDAII. Now have Hello 2 headset that seems to be working well after a day.
Very comfortable too. At a little over A$130 it seems like good value compared to the other items on sale here.
Hello everybody,
Has anybody have tried the Kondor Bluetrek Bluetooth headset (especially the G2) with XDA2??
I've tried searching in the forums but seems nobody has mentioned it before. Just want to know what are the PROS and CONS of the said headset.
According to the reviews, its a great headset except for the fact that the ear clip can break due to major mishandling, but I haven't seen a review by somebody using XDA2.
I saw it in a shop (here in the Philippines) and I liked the style immediately. Price is also not bad Php3,500 (around US$60)
Hi yes, I have a Blutrek G2 headset and it works with my QTEC 2020 (XDA2 clone), I also use a TomTom Bluetooth GPS also and this works fine to.
I can even recieve calls while navigating with TomTom 3 with both Bluetooth devices on!.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks up to how many devices can it bond at the same time? Cause I saw with epox it can bond upto 4 devices.
Hi all - 1st post so be nice
I'm in the market for a new Smartphone and at the minute, the fore-runner is the Orbit 2 as it has everything I think I need to replace my current phone & PDA / GPS.
My car has the Ford BT kit installed and I was hoping that someone can confirm if all the expected functionality works when paired - as the Ford kit is made by Nokia, it favours those handsets and whilst Ford publish a list of 'tested' and approved handsets, there are no O2 / HTC ones listed. Unfortunately, I don't have an O2 store close to me so that I can borrow a device to test. I know that Bluetooth is a standard but as we all know, there are differences in standards between vendors.
Thanks in advance.

I know it's not a Ford, but my my Orbit 2 works exceptionally well with my Audi. I've had loads of problems with Nokia's on it, and the Orbit 2 has been perfect. Very fast to sync phonebook too.
Good luck!
I will check this for you tomorrow. My Mondeo has both a Nokia CK-7W carkit and the bluetooth Ford stereo fitted.
Both have worked with any phone I have tried so far, so the Orbit 2 should be OK.
Thanks guys - I'm fairly confident that it will work as expected but there's always that 5% niggle that it won't. Could turn into an expensive mistake if it didn't !
Maxi
hi i have a fod focus 2 with the bluetooth kit. I am using an orbit 1 and have no problem pairing and using the device so i gues there wont be any probs with orbit 2.
regards
papa
I tried mine today and works fine both on the Nokia kit and also the Ford bluetooth stereo
Brill - thanks for your time guys. Makes that 5% uncertaintity go away...
Now, just need to find the best deal to buy one.

Hi there Maxi_pack.
I have one of the "new" Mondeos with integrated Bluetooth.
I had a Nokia 6021 before and that worked perfectly over Bluetooth showing all my contacts, calls in and calls out. It’s disappointing that this does not work with the O2XDA Stellar. I am in discussion with O2 about it. I haven't asked Ford yet, only looked at their list of "tested" phones on which I see the XDA Orbit and XDA NEO are listed as able to display contacts via Bluetooth.
http://www.ford-mobile-connectivity.com/overview?id=8&cradle_support=1&box_id=1
Note : it "pairs" with the Ford Audio and allows me to receive calls and make calls using voice-dial or via the XDA keypad but it's really annoying that the Contacts will not display on the Mondeos colour display!!! :-(
I notice the XDA Stellar has something called SAP (SIM Access Profile) for other devices to access its SIM, but I guess the FORD Bluetooth doesn't utilise this otherswise it would probably work OK.
Sparky.
they show on mine on the radio display
Hi,
I recently bought this nice bluetooth earphone (Sony Ericsson MW600) - because it was mentioned, it works great on Nexus One.
But I got a somehow strange problem:
when it is connected to the phone (at least, bluetooth settings say so), I can phone with this headset but I cannot listen to any music.
Settings say, it's connected to phone and media.
I tried enomthers and cyanogens latest roms.
Has anybody any idea, what is wrong?
edit: tested it with a SE v640i - works perfektly - must be an issue with the nexus/rom/whatever :-/
Thanks,
bastie
how did you buy them?
via ebay
it is unused and the package was not opened, too...
okay, after searching through the net for several hours - here's the solution:
it does not work, when wireless lan is turned on - for whatever reason
so:
first turn off wireless lan
then connect mw600 and play music
seems like bluetooth and wlan are blocking each other
Good to know. I just ordered one for 50 bux shipped when I preordered from mobilecityonline.com, which still is selling for the same price but now shipping is no longer free because it's no longer a preorder item. I figured its better than retail or ebay after my stint with a fake SE product a few years back. Thanks for the info!
One thing I learn is never buy bluetooth headsets or memory cards from ebay. 99.9% of them are fakes.

Hello Everyone,
kpjimmy, I ordered and received my MW600 from mobilecityonline.com too. They seem to have nice service.
How can we tell if we got a counterfeit device or not. I had problems in the past with serveral brands?
Did you find the instruction in the box were not detailed ?
I went to sony ericsson support page for the MW600, no user guide pdf file. Only the warranty pdf. I noticed for the other devices such as the DS205,DS970,DS980 there are user guide pdf files. Have you found one for the MW600?
Must say, I am impressed with the battery life. I took out of the box, charged for 8 hours as per instructions. Turned it on, paired it, turned on the FM radio with 100% volume. It went 10.75 hrs, even a few phone calls before dead. Did 3 full 8 hrs charges/10.75hrs to full discharges cycles.
Thank you,
Monnie
I have used the headset for a week or so and I must say it is an awesome little headset for the cash! I also have the plantronics 590A but that is for my personal home use, but the MW600 is great for the office or when you are out and about. I haven't taken any calls with the headset yet though.
As for this being possibly a fake headset? I have to say my last 'fake' headset was in the box, (wasn't sealed btw) and when used, the sound was too tinny like cheapo headsets you get at your local convenience store. This one I received from Mobilecityonline, in my opinion the real deal. The sound is nice and functions as it should. Very satisfied with the headset.
Anyone want a aliph icon? LOL kiddin...that's what I use when in the car.
Jimmy you work for SE? you haven't take any calls yet? and you used it for so long? or do you work for mobilecityonline.com? let me know what is your deal?
I hace one and very annoying problem with this headset . When i plug id to HD2 and turn on the WIFI , music freeze for a less then second and sound geting disorted and very thin (it sound like the music change frequency to very low. Anyone had this problem ?

I don't work for either. I am a BT and tech junkie . I have taken a call on the MW600 and all sounds fine and works great as expected. I have since use my Aliph Icon with the new A2DP drivers installed.
However, I also have gotten the BlueAnt S4. I have used this more than the MW600 and I have to admit I love the thing. It is truely handsfree and the sound is great, clear, loud and is truly handsfree.

You plug in? The MW600 does not need to be plugged in. The HD2 has A2DP. All you need to do is turn on your bluetooth and pair the phone with the headset. When you play the music with your bluetooth on, the phone should automatically connect to the headset and play wirelessly, no plugging in necessary. Please give us additional detail. Thanks!
my mw600 works great - 5.0.5.3 through froyo.
so the skip forward/back and play/pause buttons on this can control the music?
Because I've lost the original N1 remote and am looking for decent replacements.
Thanks
it controls music. display obviously doesn't show the track like it might if paired with a sony device however. touch volume slider is kinda annoying.

Same here !!!
Really annoying!
Just got it. Had a Nokia BH-103 before but it broke. On the Nokia the sound sometimes was getting faster or a bit slower from time to time but that did not annoy me that much, now i can hardly hear on song. even if i turn of wifi the issue remains. please please help. really was looking forward to use my new mw600 and now the expirence is ruined.
headset works great with ps3 and notebook even over "big" distance (can hear music in every room of my flat)
so i guess it's the devices fault
having a htc hero using villian rom 10.2
PLEASE HELP
SOLVED !!!!!
setting the cpu speed somehow messes up bluetooth audio transfare
disabled overclocking now works like a charm
I tried my friend's SE MH-100 which he uses for his Aino, but my N1 can't even find it via bluetooth. I ordered the MBS 200 which is a bluetooth speaker also from SE and I'm still waiting for it.
Any clue why it can't find the MH-100? Im afraid it wont be able to scan the MBS200's bletooth as well
UPDATE: It's working great
I ordered one from ebay just now because Sony Ericsson Canada is selling is for $99.99 (mobilecityonline sells it for $50 but charges $40 US for shipping too Canada...)
After reading stories about fake bluetooth, I am worried. How do I tell if the one I bought is genuine or not? I bought it from this seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/SonyEricsson-MW...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e5cfdeebe
I purchased one from mobilecityonline in person.
I don't really like the volume control, but I encounter a pairing problem with nexus one.
If I keep the pairing with the phone, it works 100%, but if I connect it to another device, it refuse to connect to nexus one again except I pair them again.
The battery is awesome though, I play 8 hours of wireless music and the battery doesn't run out.
Hello to all you out there.
I have been the proud owner of a desire for about eight months now. I just got a new car, Hyundai i30, and i am planning to put a BT carkit in it. Can anyone tell me about their experience with, preferebly, parrot carkits?
Tnx
I have a parrot MKi9200. Reasonably happy with it, less so with parrot support.
Sync works, iPod play works as advertised. Software is a bit buggy, but nothing problematic. I recommend you get a good installer for it, though
I also have a parrot MKi9200 and works very good. Also with the HTC Wildfire from my wife.
as mentioned get a good fitter or someone who knows what they're doing. the i30 isn't to bad to take apart to run cables.
hi, got a parrot ck3100, good sync, adr book and stuff to phone but not a2dp (so no music through it).
I also have the 3100, and it works like a charm with my desire (latest radio and cm7).
Syncing and connecting with phone are automatic, voice dial works and parrot is easily updateable with a bluetooth connection. And above all, voice quality is perfect
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I've got the CK3100 and (as people have mentioned above) it works well with the desire.
A minor issue: GB roms appear to have a problem with BT where the phone doesn't immediately switch back to it's phone speaker when the connection to a headset/carkit is lost. I believe this is is GB issue. I've never experienced it before I started using GB roms.
Also, as people above have pointed out, it's probably worth getting a system that supports A2DP audio playback too. I'm using a separate Tunelink device for that.. and it works. But using two separate BT device to connect to the one Desire is a bit awkward.
I am using a PARROT MKi9000 with my Desire.
speech recognition is nearly perfect.
I use it for streaming music/audiobooks over the car-speakers, too without problems.
Installed it by myself without problems. Plug & Play.
Regards,
chrrh...

9200 is the best you can buy imo, does it all(at least all that you can expect from a car kit), and parrot releases updates frequently.

Hi there,
I use the MKi9100 in my Fiat Grande Punto and it works very well with my Desire.
I wouldn´t recommend to use the music playback function via bluetooth, though, as the sound quality kind of sucks...
Yeah, listening music throw bluetooth really killing me))
I should always choose between quality or battery life
