[Q] odd bluetooth behaviour with car kit - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone seen similar symptoms?
I've a 2004 Audi TT with factory bluetooth. Works great with all my other phones, with the car effectively being a giant headset profile device.
On my HTC Mozart, I can pair just fine. When I make a call, though, I just get the car's "Phone connected" chime every couple of seconds, with the call staying connected just to the handset. It's my work phone and the one that I actually *do* want connecting to the car for work.
Anyone any pointers?

Check with an audi center. My seat needed an update to its software for it to work correctly with "never phones" ;-)

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.

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

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!"

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...!

[Q] Bluetooth a2dp autoconnect

Does anyone know of a bluetooth a2dp gateway that auto-pairs with the N1 when power up?
I've tried Sony and Belkin and heard that the Blackberry gateway all fail to do so (although on the Droid forums some people say the Blackberry does auto-pair).
I had a similar and short lived thread in Q&A, sorry for the 2nd attempt!
I tried at least 4 product from stereo headset to car adapter. I find that nexus requires that the device to support HSP for the auto-connect to work.
I only wish that someone could implement custom media streaming over bluetooth for the rest of us.
look for a device with the following profiles HSP/A2DP/AVRCP.
I'm currently using Kensington LiquidAUX K33428 Bluetooth and it works great. It auto-connects 95% of the time.

Thanks for the quick reply.
How does the audio quality compare to the others that you tried. Does the Kensington support A2DP only? I don't want it taking all my phone calls as well.
The Blackberry definitely does not auto-connect, at least with my Nexus One. The strange thing is, it auto-connects with my Palm Pre Plus every time.
It's one of the most annoying things to me about the Nexus, opening up Bluetooth Settings and having to manually connect to it every time I get in the car is actually a pain, compared to the Palm where I just get in and it's connected.
I was actually wondering if there was an app or some kind of service I could start up that would auto-connect to bluetooth devices. Does anyone know of anything like that?
I'm using a Samsung WEP870. Works just fine with my Nexus One. I am running CM6 RC3 on it, nothing other than that.
I use the Bluetooth A2DP for listening all day to podcasts & other media.
As soon as I place the headset on and power it up, it connects to the Nexus One. No problems.
I have a Sony BT5100 car radio and with stock android (or any non sense android rom) the phone automatically connected to the radio. I guess the later Sony models will be doing the same.

I think the S1 only plays music through its own speaker. Can it output to the car through aux?

As far as I know android doesn't allow for anything other than manual pairing when it comes to non HSP (headset profile) devices. I read this on their documentation page.

Lame.
What happened to it being an 'Open' OS? Seems like something an application should be able to fix.

[Q] Desire Z Bluetooth Car Handsfree not working

Hi all.
Quick question. Topic kind of says all. But, every other bluetooth phone I've had has worked great with my bluetooth handsfree that came installed in my car (Ford Mondeo 2006 and earlier modem). Last phone I had was an Orange San Fran, and that worked great with android 2.1. Also, with the HTC Touch Pro 2, that worked great too. I know that's a WM phone, not android, but would imagine HTC wouldn't mess up something that bad?!
Anyway, with the z, I can connect perfect to the headset. It works in that when I call, radio/cd volume turns off, but the sound comes through the headset, not the speakers... all other phones work fine with volume through car headset speakers. Also, tried doing a test call to see whether the microphone is taken through the car microphone, or the handset microphone, and appears to be handset microphone. When I put the phone to my mouth to talk, it's much clearer and loader than if I put it down and speak in the car mic. So sounds like nothing is actually transferring to the bluetooth in the car...
Is there anything I cam do to ensure it's working perfecly.
Anyone else have any input of what I can do to get it to work?
Thanks alot

[Q] Problems with Bluetooth

Anyone else having problems with the bluetooth not discovering devices, i cant seem to get my one x to discover my cars bluetooth for anything, then i take my other phone and it discovers it in one shot. Anyone have any ideas?
You're making the phone "Visible to all nearby Bluetooth devices" right?
What brand car stereo? If factory stereo, what car make?
yes i have that switched on, its a mitsubishi factory stereo.
Don't see anything in the systems files that would indicate Mitsubishi stereos being blacklisted. Have you tried any other Bluetooth devices? Maybe go to a stereo store and see if you can pair to other car head units. Could be a defect with the phone. Maybe others can chime in on whether they were able to get the phone paired with their Mitsubishi head units or not.
Can't connect anymore
I was able to connect with my One X with 1.73. Then I swapped my phone out at Best Buy and got a new one with 1.85. Now I can't anymore. I have a Kenwood in-dash nav.
I was having the same issues. It ended up being that there was too much interference in the area that I was (my garage) I tried it again in a open parking lot and it paired just fine. I had to search for devices from my phone while my unit was looking for my phone also.
