GPS carkit / car kit Mute Noise Bug - MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories

Hi *,
I have had this problem since a while and never got a solution. I would like to know if there is a software solution to prevent the permanent muting as soon as tomtom or the GPS add-on starts..
GPS on => Mute on
The Mute works perfectly with phone calls and MP3, BUT not with Tomtom..
Also some noise is heard as soon as the GPS addon of tomtom is sending and receiving data..
Does anyone else experience this problem.. I read in this forum some potential solutions but most of them include hardware.. I am pretty sure it is more a software issue.. With destinator the mute problem does NOT exist..

Carkit / Navigation / Radio Mute

Hello friends.
Long time after planning to build my own Car Kit, at least i orderd yesterday an original Car Kit from O2.... :roll:
Not having received it, i´ve got some questions about it. ....
I´d like to connect a GPS mouse to it and will use my TomTom-Software with it.
Wiring the GPS should not be a problem since FVH did such great reverse Engineering... (Thanks a lot for it)
My Question is now about Radio Mute / Speaker output....
I´ve got 2 input Systems at my Radio. one for Telephone and one for NavigationSystem....
Where do i connect the car kit now? I think, i can do only once of it, or?
What will happen, when i use the mute-connector for phone on radio-side? Will it stop the Radio on every output of the Tomtom? Will it only mute the radio when a call comes in?
What are you´re experiences?
Glad about every answer....
Regards
Stefan
Come on guys....
Where are your answers?
I know there are some people using the Car KIt, and i think they use the Navigation function too....
So plz geave me some tips....
Regards

Yes,
Also using the XDA carkit. I found the radio mute function very disappointing: it is triggered by a variety of events (screen tapping, navigation output, GSM basestation handover etc). Finally decided not to connect the radio mute to the car stereo.
If you have a line in port on your radio/cd, you can profit from good quality mp3 from the xda without using the mute cable. Also connect the carkit speaker, parallel to the line-in.
Radio mute
I have taken a closer look at how the radio mute works. It quiet easy, if what ever signal (beep, voice, music or what ever) is sent to the XDA speaker, it will trigger the mute signal.
The mute wire is pulled to either ground or VCC (i can´t remember which one, it´s been to long...) as long as there is audio output. When connecting it to my radio (Renault Laguna) I found it works the opposit to what you would expect: no signal--> no radio ; voice or telephone --> radio on.
SOlving this is easy, just get a small relay (make sure it power usage is low, specs can be found in the Carkit manual) and connect it to the mute signal. Use the switched contact to create an inverted signal.
Good luck,
Francois

The mute wire is also pulled as long the GPS Software of TOMTOM is active.
Any idea how to fix it?

In my case this isn´t so.
Mute turns on, when audio ouptut is from Tomtom or anything else. After this, it turns on Radio again.

GPS Software of TomTom switches Mute
I also have the same problem:
As soon as the GPS Add-On of TomTom starts, Mute of the O2 Car Kit is switched and the radio keeps silent until the GPS Add-On is terminated.
Any idea how to solve this???
Thanx,
Charlie
Looks like a faulty carkit.
I do see the problems as described, mute works correctly, even when navigating.
MAYBE this is your problem:
----------------------------------
When I put the XDA in the cradle and the GPS is switched on it looks like that the amplifier is switched on. You can hear this by listening to the noise that produced. It sounds a lot like RS-232 interferance.
I solved this by pressing the RED phone switch once or twice until you hear a beep comming from the XDA. This first legitemate sound correctly mutes the amplifier and from that moment on the carkit works like it should.
Try it and let me know,

All Audio to Bluetooth Headset with WM5

Hi folks!
A few weeks ago, we discussed the problem of diverting all audio signals from the BA to a normal BT headset. We more or less solved the problem by adding some fancy registry tweaks, that enabled the new BT profiles. The audiogw.dll didn't work correctly but then...
At this point, WM5 appeared and all efforts on the subject stopped.
So, has anyone an idea, if and how it would be possible to solve the problem on a BA running WM5?
What I am trying to do: I want to hear the instructions from TomTom or NAVIGON software on my BT Headset, which is still only useable for phonecalls.
A nice little program or registry patch to solve the problem would be highly apreciated...
I would love for this to work also. I would even switch back to wm2003se if it worked on it. Even tho my pda2k seems to run better on wm5; after all the patches and overclocking to 531.
Another problem with bluetooth
Hi again!
I just found out about a new bluetooth related problem:
The BA seems to use the internal MIC when in a phonecall, even though I am using a bluetooth headset. so I hear everthing loud and clear through the headset, but I need to talk to the internal MIC so that the other side can hear me, too.
Any idea why that is
i just noticed the BT and internal mic problem today i get the audio comming out of the phone and the BT headset at the same time also :shock:
BA first ppc phone with stereo sound

Bluetooth Question

I have a question regarding bluetooth.
I have an sony HBH-DS980 that works great for music playback on my tytn ii.
The problem i have with it is that when the music is playing and a receive a phone call it notifies me and i answer the call. After the call is over the bluetooth link seems to drop and will no reconnect untill i turn the headset off and on.
Is there a way to make the headset go back to music playing and not drop link automatically?

Not having experience of this unit this may be down to the individual headset and I hope some others will come in with experience of this.
Does the headset support both Headset and Wireless Stereo profile?
If it does not, the function may not be supported. I use a Promate PM-2600 and it supports both and when I have selected Wireless Stereo (this has to be done manually!) it works without problem when answering a call and passing back to music or video play.
Hope someone with information on this particular unit gets back to you.

Hi,
I own a Sony HBH-DS980 too, and experiencing the same problem Linxus40's having, but on my 8925 Tilt, of which is essentially the same phone as Linxus40's HTC Tynii .
It's very frustrating having to reboot the HBH-DS980 & re-press the play button to re-establish the bt connection after completion of every incoming call. It's s my understanding that the Sony HBH-DS980 supports both wireless headset & the wireless stereo profile, as I've got no problem placing & receiving unlimited bt calls without disconnection when I'm not listening to music. This said, I find the HBH-DS980's bt audio 'sound quality' fantastic thru the 8925 Tilt.
btw: I've got PocketMusic 5 and PocketPlayer 3.51 on my Tilt, but experience significantly better sound (audio quality) when my music is played via PocketMusic compared to PocketPlayer. Curious if any body else here notices this too.
Ok, any other Sony HBH-DS908 bluetooth headset owners experiencing the dropped bluetooth connection problem Linuxus40 and I are experiencing? Any advice on how the problem can be corrected?
Thanks in advance.

I'm facing the same issue as well! Tried numerous hard resets and fixes you would have thought imaginable! Unfortunately the problem is still existent and it is freaking irritating when you have to press the play button to repair the headset. Worst still - when the music starts playing through the speaker after a call, everyone starts to look at you like you are some moron.
I do really hope there is a way to resolve the problem. Any new fixes i can try???
Senior members? Any help?

I have this exact same problem on my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS220.
The bluetooth will disconnect after hanging up a phone call. I don't press anything on the headset, I wait for the other person to hang up. When it hangs up, it immediately disconnects the bluetooth headset.
Annoying!
Probably a problem with the bluetooth stack then. The stack is already known to be very buggy and have problems with lots of Bluetooth devices. Luckily, unlike the graphics card, it looks like HTC will be releasing a fixed Bluetooth stack at some point in the future. In the mean time, you are probably out of luck.
Bluetooth connection problem also with Tilt
I have a Plantronics 510 BT earpiece that for no discernible reason is connected one minute and gone the next too. I haven't been able to determine any combination of actions, such as ending a call as the culprit. I always have to make the connection manually between the earpiece and the Tilt also - it never links automatically when I turn the earpiece on like it did with my Treo 650. I've had this Tilt for 3 days and this is probably going to be a show stopper and make me return it to at&t before the eval period in spite of everything else good about the phone. I also have a Plantronics Pulsar 590 stereo headset that I haven't experimented enough with yet to know if the connection is as flaky. But the bottom line is - I'll be damned if I'm going to try to fiddle with establishing a connection and all the steps it can take while I'm driving down the road!

BT connect to headset with GPS

Just wonder if Niki can support to have BT connection to A2DP BT Headset while using BT GPS receiver for GPS....
yes it works, although not stable when calling.
you may have to restart the bt headset a2dp. after conecting the bt gps antenna.

Do you mean that while i'm using the BT connected to GPS receiver and navigating... all the sudden a call came in... i can use the BT headset to answer the call... and the GPS will still able to track and navigating?

Thats right - at least with the sony headset and tomtom set I use. Both work well all the time
Here it works fine a Logitech bluetooth stereo headset with mic and TomTom with a keomo 16 ch gps receiver, when your call is ended it activates the mediaplayer by itself, only sh*ty thing is that the logitech headset so now and then isnt receiving 100% , but its a almost perfect combination.....
Mine works fine, either with the Moto HS820 or the A2DP Jabras. However I wouldn't ever recommend using A2DP phones whilst driving - it cab be dangerous.
Your normal one-ear devices don't tend to stop you from hearing external noises, which can be essential for safety whilst driving.
that's true... having a2dp headphone in the car is dangerous... but if it's using the normal headset with the GPS that will be great!!!!
since in spain it is forbidden to use headsets while driving, either a2dp or calls, i use a parrot mk6100 w a2dp.
when using the a2dp thru my car stereo i can connect my gps bt antenna.
when the call comes everything works fine.
but, it gets some time to go back after the call (navigator + a2dp). and it is not that smooth. it seems like that is pushing too hard to the limits of the niki.
i read the answer is to restart the conection w the a2dp.
btw, i dont have installed the voices in the navigator so the navigator doesnt interfere w the a2dp.
i can keep trying if you have some other issues.

bluetoouth GPs antenna issue
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried the antenna with another pda, it is working well. all tests were done with success. I don't understand whynot with the niki.
I did a complementary test, I tried the niki with another gps antenna and it is working well too.
I conclud about a compability issue between my antenna and the niki. maybe due to the bluetooth version.
is it existing a .cab to update the bluetooth driver?
thank you.
not found yet
but keep posting, i am interested too.
any news?
after to have tried many rom and radio version, i finished to buy a new antenna bluetouth v2.
the newone is working. i will sale the oldone to someboday having older phone.
I use a gear4 blueye (can get one for about £20ish on ebay including postage) at the same time as using gps (a holux gpslim 240 with tomtom) in the car.
Plug it into the car stereo and can now listen to ipod music, change tracks, volume & pause+play the ipod safely.
And also make calls by tapping the button and using phone's voice dial, this further pauses any music I'm listening to whilst in call and resumes at the end of the call. It really is a super little device!
ps. if people are having any interface issues: slow hanging up etc.. after calls, then it's worth disabling whatever phone skin you have using 'Advanced Configuration'. The default skin plays much nicer with bluetooth.

Bluetooth car kit is disconnecting while using internal GPS

Hello all,
Have searched forum but not found exactly my problem.
I'm running ASerg Rus v.24 ROM on my O2 XDA Diamond and I have Parrot CK3000 bluetooth car kit. Gadgets work together flawless as they should unless I use any GPS software. When I'm running any software using GPS (e.g. Navitel Navigator or PocketGForce), on incoming call the carkit rings, but when I push button on carkit to answer, it makes "bleep" sound indicating that it lost connection to Diamond, and the sound goes to handset, not thru carkit. It is obviuos that I can't hear anything and speak to handset pinned to car dashboard. I just have to say aloud to the caller that I have some problems and I will call back in few minutes... It is very annoying that I can't talk while GPS'ing.
Anybody else experienced problems like this? Any solution?
Do you get your sat nav directions through the handsfree when in use? If so how? Usually that means that the Parrot is using A2DP BT profile and not the handsfree profile, but I do not think the CK3000 supports A2DP. Have you tweaked in some way the phone or added an app so that the sat nav uses the handsfree profile? I did using BTMusic app. If you have it may have something to do with the settings on that.
No, navigation software speaks thru phone's loudspeaker, not thru car kit over BT. And PocketGForce I've mentioned above does not speak at all since it is a measurement application using GPS only for getting current speed.
I don't know, maybe I have to play with different radio versions?
