hello,
I would like to buy a Parrot CK3100 (BlueTooth car kit), but I wonder if it works perfectly with Himalay under WM2006. Is the directory correctly and automatically loaded on the Parrot ? Are all the functionnalities of the Parrot working with the Himalaya ?
Thanks in advance for your answer,
regards
Blg
You shouldn't be able to access your contacts through Parrot CK3100.
Sascha
Ok, thanks for your answer. Have you tried the XDA II on the CK3100, or is it just a bet ?
The reason why I a m asking this question is that on a GPS device (Garmin ZUMO), the directory is automatically and correctly loaded (as well as the last received numbers and last dialled numbers). So it seems that the XDA II is able to do it.
Is there someone owning the two devices (XDA II and CK3100) who could confirm the good or bad working ?
By the way, my ROM's version is 7.0c.40CS.
Thanks in advance.

I use CK3000 but I would be surprised if CK3100 could access XDA II contacts.
Sascha
I understand your surprise.
But I was surprised when all my XDA II contacts have been downloaded automatically and without being prompted on my Zumo device.
Seems the WM2006 allows this (at least on my XDA II ))
This is the reason why I am looking for someone owning both CK3100 and XDA II under WM6 !
Blg
Yes, it works!
I have a Qtek 2020 (aka Himalaya) and a Parrot CK3100 Black Edition and it works (almost) perfectly.
When you turn on the ignition the Parrot activates showing the Owner Information, the Network you’re connected (operator), the Signal Strength, the Battery Level and it synchronizes the Contacts, even the ones you have multiple numbers (ex.: Thomas w/; Thomas h/ as in Thomas (work) and Thomas (home)). It even gets the last Received, Dialed and Lost calls (not always). You see an ActiveSync alike symbol from times to times showing the synchronization.
Every time you turn off the ignition (electrical circuit) it clears all information and you´ll have to wait until it synchronizes again after you turn it on.
The only glitch it has is that sometimes (1 in 100), when they «meet», the PDA starts a call to nowhere and the only way to stop it is to reset the PDA (the pen tip in the hole).
Hope this info helps
Thomas
TOFCLOCK HIMA WM6 AKU.0.7.0
CE OS 5.2.1908 (Build 18508.0.7.0)
Thanks Thomas, your advice as owner of both devices was the one I was looking for !
So, it seems I can buy the Parrot.
Thanks again !
Himalaya & Parrot Ck 3100
Hi gents :
I have both devices (Himalaya & Parrot), and almost everything is running fine.
Parrot and Himalaya synchronize automatically.
Only one thing :when conecting GPS and Parrot, if I let these devices to connect automatically, the phone sound is really bad, I have to cut down bluetooth hans free connection and retry again after few seconds.
Then, everything is OK.
Suggestions are welcome
Hi,
following ThomasScott, I have bought the CK3100. Got it today. I have tried it only few minutes but it seems to run fine. Synchro of directory is OK, and done when Parrot is on.
I will install it definitively tomorrow, and will try to connect both GPS and Parrot, to check if I have the same problem.

To dial from the Parrot you must have this as your phone #"15554445678"
I had to change all my telephone numbers to this format to work. If you have 1 (555)-444-5678 this will not work from the Parrot . Use the top & it will work, I guarantee it 100%. This was on there forum several months ago before they changed there format on the forum. Remember no dashes or ( ) in the telephone number & country code in format 1 for the USA. Go for it.
Hi jerrycans
i previouly posted as guest
The parrot 3100 version is 4.05
i am 99% sure that is is connected as Handsfree, as i it stays connected all the time, where as on the XDA2 it only connect upon incomming call and the screen says 'Headset'
Whereas on the pda2k as i say connected constantly, says 'network ok' on the screen, i can dial out via the parrot, but contacts are not available!
as for the imate it is the latest rom from club imate
ROM ver: 1.22.00 WWE

HI Searly: To dial by the parrot use this setup: 15554445678 for the phone number. after you Parrot is paired disconnect the Parrotin sttings. Go to contacts, Highlight as many as you can, right click on the highlighted contacts & pick send by Bluetooth. .it will search for the Parrot ,& fibd it ,click ok & send, do this until all your contacts are sent.. Reconnect the Parrot & you can dial from the Parrot. Parrot just came out with a new ypgrade I will have to flash mine to the latest revision. I wrote to Widcomm & they know that this is a known issue.
Hi
i have just upgraded to the latest parrot firmware, little difference, i think most of the changes relate to other handsets
i did figure out the problem with contacts, i was using 'beam' this does not work!
i use pocket informant, and selecting the contacts, then goto extra 'send via bluetooth' this automatically kills the handsfree conection sends the contacts the reconnects
caller ID all works well, but the phone numbers have to be entered without spaces etc
all in all i am quite please, certainly glad i upgraded from the imate ppc!

I also have the parrot ck3100, but I don't need anything of what you say.
But I am not able to see, the covering, neither the operator??.
Another thing, you get him to be linked alone when enter to the car. Is this, the BT on, then turn on the car, and its connects directly to the pda ?¿?¿.
Greetings
MA
Hey Jerry,
thanls for you help but I have tryed as you said but it still does not work.
I had a look at my pda and notice that I could not dial from the keyboard also.
Then I tryed something I hard rest my Imate PDA 2K and tryed it, it all works fine. So I reinstalled all my software one at a time, took me ages.
Find out the the software that was causing the problem was the intellidialler.
I do not known if anybody else has the same problem but if you have not install the intellidialler do not install it it cause problems with the Parrot bluetooth and stop you dialling from the keyboard.
Hope this information well help someone.

Hi Guys,
Recent got an XDA IIi after being with the older XDA II for over 16 Months.
But I have recently run into problems with my BT Car kit :
Motorola Bluetooth Car Kit HFW-8000.
Basically the problem is that it does not always connect to the Car Kit and when it does it will only from time to time connect and let me have a handfree conversation.
I have also used the Broadcom Bluetooth Cab file here in order to extend what Bluetooth Profiles that can be used but seems not to have any great bearing to stablize the issue.
So I went down the Hard Reset Road but again still intermittent issues, I then upgraded the ROM to the New one on the O2 Website the v 1.11.169 ROM.
I also had similar issues with the XDA II but it was resolved by using the Pocket Bluetooth tools, which was great and never once after installing it did I have any issues with the Car Kit.
http://www.bluetooth.jazztel.es/
One of my questions is, is there a similar programme to to above Pocket Bluetooth tools for the XDA IIi as I have tried it with the XDA IIi but does not work.
Or does anyone know how you would revert to have the XDA II radio or is there a work around for it.
Thanks Guys
Woody
Hi Woody_XDA,
I have had my XDA2i for a couple of months now and recently got a O2 blue headset for it, I had simular problems with the headset disconnecting and having to manually connect every time I switched it on. After browsing this wonderfull forum I decided to do a corperate install and get rid of the O2 active interface, since then no problems at all. I now use Pugs modified ROM version 162 with radio 1.04 and have no stability problems at all with no twice weekly reset. Hope this helps you and many thanks to Pug for his ROM.
Mace
Ditto, I also use the custom firmware with 1.04 radio and bluetooth works a charm. It still eats battery like nothing else, but it works with no problems. Also like the fact that the XDA can cope with my GPS receiver and my handsfree kit simultaneously, that's handy for in the car.
Cheers Guys for the information, took it on board and works great, did a great deal of stress testing in order to confirm it and works excellent..Thanks to PUG again and guys thanks for the info much appreciated and this is by far a great forum
Mace - you mention some bluetooth issues being resolved since you applied the custom ROM... I posted in the Alpine Applications forum here the other day a list of issues with bluetooth that I was wondering had been addressed - so far no reply - are these the symptoms that were cured for you??
Hi Bewlay Brother sorry, I missed your other post on Bluetooth issues, my original problem was that every time I switched on my BT headset , which is a O2 Blue, I had to open the BT manager and make the connection, the phone would then occasionally lose the connection and sometimes whilst still showing a connection refuse to transfer the call. This was using the official 162 ROM with the O2 active UI. I have since installed Pugs 162 ROM with radio1.04 and done a corporate install and BT seems to work perfectly, switch on the headset, it connects, never loses pairing and transfers calls.
Hope this helps you, and thanks again to Pug,
Mace.
Mace - what you describe sounds similar - my problems were essentially the loss of pairing with my Motorola headset a lot of the times when the XDAIIi switched off its display and went into stand-by mode, also if I closed the boom bike on the headset (to temporarily turn off the headset) it would fail to re-pair when I next opened the boom mike... the other issue was that I had to make sure the phone keyboard was displayed on the XDA once I had paired up otherwise the last number redial function on the headset would not work - if I pressed the dial button on headset and the phone display was not on the screen it would simply open the phone display function but fail to then dial the number - really crap. Also reception was poor to headset even over relatively short distances from the XDA. IF these areas in particular could be cured by the upgrade then I am eager to do it - I must admit I have read that this upgrade has not been without problems for some people here so it is going to be a tough call.
Just a thought, but have you done a personal or corporate install as I think the main fix with Pugs ROM was the upgrade to radio 1.04, which I don’t think affects the BT, so a corporate install with your existing ROM may make a difference.
Did a corporate install when it was new out of the box...
whats the difference between the corporate and personal install?
Corporate doesn't install ANY of the branded O2 interface - so no gubbins, nothing to slow down the phone, you just get a bog standard Windows Mobile 2003 SE installation, aside from the O2 GPRS and SMS settings. Bosh.
hi
i've been reading the posts and i have the same problem where can i get hold of pug's ROM if it's possible cos this seems to get rid of the problem
And then today, headset will not automatically connect, needing Bluetooth manager to be opened to make the connection. AARRRGH!
BT car kit problems
I have the 1.04 Radio, but it still won't sync with my 2003 BMW 325xi bluetooh or with my 2005 Acura MDX bluetooth.
Help!
Unstable Bluetooth Signal Strength - Samsung WEP200 Bluetooth Headset
Hi, I just got a Samsung WEP200 Bluetooth Headset. It would pair with my O2 XDAIIi but I cannot hear any voice in both incoming and outgoing calls. When I check the BT Manager, it shows a totally unstable BT strength that varies from very strong to very weak. The same headset worked well with other BT phones. My ROM version is 1.11.00 WWE, Radio version 1.04.00.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hey all,
I tried connecting the Kaiser to my BMW and was able to setup the bluetooth connection without any problems. Once the connection is established, the car tries downloading the contacts, and thats when the Kaiser reboots. My 05 BMW has the iDrive and will display the list of contacts on the screen so I can choose which contact to call. BMW does not appear to support any HTC phones but thought I'd throw the question out there. Does any Kaiser owners around here drive BMW's, with or without problems?
Thanks fellas
Hi,
I can confirmt that everything works fine with my BMW and Kaiser
ROM 1.56.405.5
Hop, that helps.
Chris
Get your iDrive's firmware updates and download the latest DVD for it.
that will sort you out.
x5world is where you will find all the info
Thanks guys!!!
I confirm: Kaiser + e91 with cip v.25
The last cip for bmw e9x series is 27.
I also confirm that Kaiser works great with BMW X3 from 04 bluetooth kit...
pt_t830
Phone book working on a E46 05. If you see a message saying please wait, do just that! took awhile for the phone book to transfer. SMS message display not working, as expected.
my kaiser with 6.1 original HTC rom and enabled remote sim access works great with x5 2004. sms messaging don't work, any solution
Both my Kaisers (home & work) on Duttys 6.1 & Vodafone standard 6.1 respectively communicate fine with the BMW 3 series bluetooth - including downloading contacts.
The sound quality isn't great though....
Hello,
I wonder if somebody can help me get to the bottom of this.
Basically, I have a TyTN II (branded as a T-Mobile MDA Vario III). I also have a Parrot 3200+ LS Colour car hands free kit.
Initially, I had a TyTN (branded as a T-Mobile MDA Vario II) and this worked fine with the Parrot. Problems began when I upgraded it to Windows Mobile 6 after an update was released by T-Mobile. What would happen is as I started the engine and the Parrot connected to the phone, it would say I was in a call even though I wasn't. It could only be resolved by rebooting the phone.
When I got the TyTN II, the problem became more frequent to the point where it was just annoying to use.
Now, this is where it gets interesting. Parrot are blaming Microsoft for this problem and aparently the problem *may* or *may not* get fixed in 6.1 which is some time off yet. It is a Bluetooth Stack issue aparently but I am not sure I believe them on this nor their attitude to if it will actually get fixed.
I am wondering if anybody knows anything more about this or any fix for it.
Best Regards,
Craig Brass

Install one of the 6.1 ROMs here and see if it helps?
I have this with my TyTn II and parrot 3300. It also used to happen with my Orbit.
I noticed that it only does it when a data connection is active. If I press the red button on the Parrot it clears and all is good.
Not sure if yours is the same issue.
I have a Parrot 3100, and have loads of problems! It randomly crashes, it randomly decides to want to call random people, it randomly decides to route the call through the Tytn II rather than the Parrot, and it randomly works without a problem. I emailed Parrot and got this response:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The HTC TyTn II is still undergoing compatibility tests with our products, thus is not listed as being compatible at present. We are currently also working closely with HTC to improve compatibility and functionality with new PDA devices running Windows Mobile 6.
I would recommend dialing out from the Parrot as opposed to using your handset as from experience this works best.
I would also recommend updating the software on your Parrot, the latest version is 4.16. To update you will need a Bluetooth enabled PC (preferably a laptop) and our Parrot update tool software. http://www.parrot.com/usa/support/downloads
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just noticed tonight that a new version is available for download, (4.17) so I have upgraded the Parrot and will give it a try tomorrow.
Cheers
so, was the upgrade succesfull? did it solve ur issue?
I'm also having issues using my tytn ii with the parrot ck3100. (standard firmware in it)
No, it hasn't completely. It has solved most of the problems, but it now decides to (randomly) mute incoming calls, and route the audio through the handset instead. It also decided to route the TomTom audio via the parrot! I didn't think that was possible???
I'm having some of the same sorts of problems w/ the Parrot CK3100 and my Tilt. Of course, I just go it installed last nite, so I haven't had a ton of time to play with it. I DID, however, do a long road trip today and here's what I've found.
When initiating a call from the phone, there's about a 50/50 chance that it will go thru the handset or Parrot.
One time, the Parrot locked up to a point that I had to get off at an exit and restart the engine to reset it.
I had to re-pair the phone and Parrot once, because the lost one another.
I'm running the latest AT&T ROM on my phone and latest firmware on the CK3100. I never had ANY of these problems w/ my Nokia CK-7W, but it had a REALLY annoying echo on the other end when used w/ anything but a Nokia phone.
Dan
Today, things got even stranger. As of this morning, the kit would try to initiate a phantom call every time the car was started and it connected w/ the phone.
Then, it was muting the radio for 1-2 seconds every 3 to 5 minutes - very annoying when listening to an audiobook.
As of this afternoon, both problems magically stopped. I have e-mailed Parrot tech support, but I'm not hopeful that I'll get a useful reply.
I have had so many problems with the 3200 that ,due to anger, I have broken the bracket and front screen. It mutes the radio even after the call has finished. Crashes too often. I have no audio at least half of the calls I make.
I must add that it also did this with my Trinity running WM6 but worked flawlessly with my SP5 smartphone.
I read "HTC and Parrot Announce Strategic Alliance" on the Reuters website.
How I chuckle.
Hi,
my Diamond works ok with my Parrot bluetooth car kit. The only thing that is really anoying me, it takes veeeery long until the Diamond has established the connection to the car kit. I have to drive for several minutes! until the Diamond connects. Before I had a Sony Ericcson phone where I did not have this problem.
Any ideas? Is this just because the Diamond is a WM phone?? Or is there a way to improve this?
Thanks
I use my diamond with a Parrot CK3300 - not sure if that is the same as yours. I only use it for handsfree since I use the Diamond's own GPS receiver. I don't have this problem - it picks up and pairs within seconds.
Have you flashed the Parrot with the latest software? I found that improved performance considerably - automatic update of contacts, user name on screen rather than phone name etc.
I use the Parrot CK3100 and the pick is almost instant; I've barely got in the car and started it up and the Parrot has picked up my Diamond. It was just as quick on my Hermes device too.
I also have a CK3100 and here's somewhat the same problem.
It connects in a few seconds, and it's usable.
But the synchronisation takes forever.....
That doesn't bother me, becouse I'm quite long in my car when driving to work...
But:
The phonebook in my CK3100 starts with the numbers wich are saved on the SIMcard.
All my friends are saved on the internal memory of the TD.
So if i want to call 'Anouk': I press 'A' on the CK3100.
It starts with the 'A' from the SIMcard.
Then I have to use the turning wheel, to scroll BACKwards to "anouk'!
So this takes a lot of time.... and is very, very unpracticle.
Someone a solution for this?
As I said before flashing the latest software onto my Parrot made it much better for syncing contacts. But I only need do it once - after that it only checks for changes. It should not be syncing each time because the Parrot should store the contacts itself.
Yep, just check the Parrot website to see what the latest update is for your particular BT device and try applying it. Saying that, I've not updated my one from factory.
Unfortunately I was not able to update my Parrot so far. I have only a CK3000 Evolution, Firmware version 5.08C. I guess I would need this special serial flash cable...
@ swissly
i have the same problems fw months ago. you have to delete the partnership's on your CK3000. press the red and the green button for more the 3 sec. (Erasing in progress) if this is done you can create a new partnership. hope that helps.

Hello
For all of you who have a Parrot Bluetooth car kit listen up:
When you use any phone with any Parrot Bluetooth car kits please go to the Parrot support website to flash your car kit - http://www.parrot.com/uk/support/onlinehelpguides
This will update the device with the latest firmware and as Parrot continuly add new phones to their list it is must. I did it as soon as my HTC Diamond arrived and finds it pairs/syncs within 1 - 3 seconds of switching the car on. FYI I have a Parrot MK6100 device, which supports A2DP Bluetooth audio and is mint. Previous to this I had an SPV M700 and a Parrot CK3100-something, but same thing - update it and you will find it solves the problem(s).
- PLEASE HOWEVER READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON FLASHING - IT AIN'T HARD BUT READ IT ANYWAY!!! -
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I still think I CANNOT UPDATE my Parrot CK3000 Evolution WITHOUT THE PARROT SERIAL CABLE!

You are correct AFAIK. Most other Parrots can be updated easily using bluetooth, but not that one. Probably why it was cheaper than the others.
