Hi guys
The T-Mobile MDA Compact III has FM radio.
Does anyone know if the FM radio audio is transmitted by bluetooth? Also the mp3 audio!
If not, I'm looking for a PDA (Windows Mobile) WITH radio that does transmit the radio audio over bluetooth - does such a unit exist?
The reason I want this feature is so I can use my Nolan bluetooth motorbike helmet to listen to the radio!
Cheers
John
I don't know about the phone itself, but I think the helmet would have to be a2dp compliant? I'm not sure the Nolan bluetooth helmets are. I think they only support the handsfree profile.
Was thinking about getting one of those helmets myself. Are they any good?
You can play mp3 audio over the Bluetooth but the radio refuses to play this way, I have tried many combinations/ settings and never got the audio to output via Bluetooth. That said the mp3 audio over Bluetooth is very good quality if a little low in volume - Mike
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

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...

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.

Hi all, I have had this bug in varying flavours with both the Wizard and now the Kaiser.
If I make a call via Bluetooth (certain devices only e.g. JVC in car stereo), after the call, all audio is lost on the device when using the speaker, e.g. no ringtones, no TomTom voice guidance.
Strangely the touchtone sounds on the phone dialler continue to work.
Making another call via Bluetooth works fine and all audio is heard, but not if calling via the earpiece of the phone.
It is like Bluetooth is 'stealing' the audio from the phone's speaker (which is should), but not giving it back at the end.
Currently am running WM6.1 Sleuth 3.0 on the TyTN II. Any advice appreciated.
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.

Hi,
I have been using my Diamond with a standard bluetooth handsfree earpiece for some time, generally works really well.
I've recently changed cars and now have a ford stereo with built in bluetooth handsfree / voice commands.
The stereo can access the phonebook from the phone, but I have a fair few contacts, most of which I wont need day to day while in the car. Is there any software which can limit which contacts get sent to the headunit, ie via category?
The only software i've found is the JETware Hands-free Extension, but it doesnt seem to work and post on there forum mentions the BT stack used by the Diamond / Touch pro isnt compatible.
Thanks in advance
