mex-bt3600u sony head unit - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

anyone pairing this with a kaiser... any tips would be welcome

mex-2500 - guess it's allmost the same
No problems here
Can't remember the excact way to do it but it's something with turning the radio off and holding down a button for a long long time until the BT icon flashes on the radio and KEEP pressing it for a while longer

been playing with it today... just need to hold 6 once their paired. what a great bit of kit. Love the mp3 streaming via bt

The streaming is not working for me after I switch the radio off and on again, only works the first time it's paired
I guess it's the MEX-BT2500's firmware or something
Yours have USB also right? I'd love to have that

Wireless Stereo
In "Comm Manager" go to "Settings" then to "Bluetooth" then press "XPLOD" and you will see two items: "Wireless Stereo" and "Hands Free". Switch off "Wireless Stereo" and save. Then open this page again and switch "Wireless Stereo" on.
Save it. On your car radio is the sign of "Wireless Stereo" again. I know, it´s crazy but it works.

wireless stereo
I checked setup yesterday: select "Wireless Stereo" on the radio then push
knob "6" (station channel) and your "Wireless Stereo" is "on" again.

Damn... Your right
Switching to "BT AUDIO" on the radio and pressing 6 ('pause' as it also says above it) switches it on again - Thanks a million mate
...any chance I can start playback using the buttons on the radio too?

just need to hold 6 once their paired once and will always be reconised again.
I have installed steering wheel controlls and this lets me controll playback on the phone (skiping tracks ect). Nice kit

holding button calls last number. Pressing quickly lets you use voice activation.

Has anyone got the voice activation to actually work on the Kaiser? I can't get it tow work.
I'm using Hyper Dragon III (Opal) which didn't have any voice software installed so I got MS Voice command on there.
The voice dialing doesn't work
I installed cyperion or whatever it's called aswell as the MS Voice command and that doesn't work either
Any help would be great!

Help with Sony MEX-BT3600U Bluetooth Calling
Please help me solve this issue with my Sony MEX-BT3600u. I recently installed the head unit, everything is connected and works fine, but every time I try to call someone i cannot hear the person but the they can hear me. Now I've connected 2 apms and a cross over unit. I've connected the head unit by RCA Cable to the Cross-Over and then the 2 Amps are connected by RCA Cables to the Cross-Over, but instead of connecting the speakers to the unit I connected them directly to the amps instead.
Do I have to connect the a pair of speakers to the head so that I can hear the person I called?
Please help..
Thanks

Audio Gateway

Hi guys, looking for some help as i'm getting a bit confused.
iam trying to enable an audio gateway from my spv1500 (alpine) with my bluetooth carkit which is a parrot 3000evo. The carkit as default will open a gateway (headset icon has wiggly lines inside and all audio is played through carkit) when the answer 'green button' is pressed on the car kit. However once the carkits voice activation is enabelled this feature no longer works. So i'm trying to enable it from the phone.
The bluetooth toggle and Vj jobbie dont work, presumabley due to the fact that its a widecom stack not the ms one right?
So is there a way of doing it? There is a file in my windows directory labelled BTAudioGW which seems promising?
cheers, Jason
I have the Broadcom stack on my Alpine, and the cheapo headset I bought from Tesco (yes, Tesco, don't laugh, I got it for a song as I was working there again over last Xmas ) has a button on the side. I can use the button to mute or hang up a phone call, I hold it down to turn the headset on/off - but if I just press it quickly whilst not in a call, it enables / disables the audio gateway so I can hear all system sounds (including TomTom, etc) plus it'll still accept calls as usual.
Really don't have a conclusive solution for you I'm afraid mate, just pointing out that I have a Broadcom stack and it always works fine, even if I use voice activation or not (I only used it once, immediately hated it and got rid of it entirely)... What happens when you run the BTAudioGW exe?
When i run the app it says "failed to open bt audio gateway".
Like i said my carkit works the same as your headset until the voice tags are turned on (runs on carkit not phone) then it wont open a gateway via the button. It's annoying because obviously the phone is capable, just need to find a way of controlling it from the phone (mimiking whatever signal the button on the headset sends when it opens a gateway)
Let me know if you have any ideas..

MR. Clean / A2DP on my O2 XDA, but can't see my HT820?

Hello, I think i'm a noob, cause I can't get my HT820 to connect.
I tried all the A2DP cab "hacks" to see if I can connect my HT820. No Go. so I decided to change my ROM to "Mr. Clean", and it installed fine.
I then when to bluetooth, and enabled it, and then went to "new Partnership..." and searched for my HT820. no luck!
I tried turning the HT820 off, and different combos of push buttons, etc.
NO luck...
Am I missing something?
"A2DP is supported natively in the ROM" so it should pick up my HT820, right?
Thanks for any help!!!
Yes, and also it should detect and pair with the HT820 even if it doesn't support A2DP.
Did you put the HT820 into pairing mode before choosing "New Partnership..." on the Wizard?
"Make sure your headphones are turned off and press and
hold the left side Call m button for 6 seconds until the indicator light turns on and remains steadily lit.
"Next, put your Bluetooth Enabled audio device in pairing mode so the devices can 'talk' to each other." (This is the "New Partnership" option on the Wizard.)
It should find the device and tell you it wants to pair, then ask for a passkey. The passkey for the HT820 is 0000.
Here's the Motorola User Manual for the HT820:
http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/manuals/QG-HT820HdPhns.pdf
AHHH. see i've done this, and for some reason my O2 won't see it....
is there something i'm missing?
in other words, if I do a fresh ROM of "Mr Clean" it should be able to detect my HT820 right?

Yes, all of the Wizard ROMs should detect your HT820, even if they don't support A2DP, because it will still function as a wireless headset or handsfree device.
Do you have access to any other bluetooth devices to help you determine what the problem is? Can you pair the HT820 with another phone or your computer, or can you pair any other bluetooth headsets to your Wizard?
i'll be trying that tonight: have a bluetooth for my pc....
thanks for the ideas...
OK... got it to work!!! almost there...
so I can now use the headsets to answer phones: but not listen to music. :?
i'll search some more for an answer, but if someone has a quick solution?
Thanks
Will
If your ROM supports A2DP (which yours should) you just have to have the "Wireless Stereo" profile selected in the bluetooth devices Partnership Settings. If it that doesn't show up, trying refreshing the services list.
Out of curiosity, what was your original problem and what did you do to get it working for handsfree?
Just go to the Bluetooth config and select the device. Then hold down on it with the stylus and choose the stereo option.
I wasn't seeing the "stereo" option. I used the "zoA2DP.cab" and rebooted: and it was there so I can check it.
I can now listen to music and talk as wel....
thanks for the help

Diamond Bluetooth HeadSet Bug

Ok, not sure if anyone got the same problem as mine, but here is my problem:
I have a Diamond using AZTOR v7 Rom, radio vBS14 if that matters and Sony Ericsson DS205 as my headset. I start my bluetooth on my diamond and can pair up with the DS205 without any problem. I can also listen to music without lag and sound is also crystal and solid.
When there is a call kicks in, I can answer the call by pressing a button on my DS205..... However, the problem comes when I end my call, the headset will be disconnected afterward and I have to manually press a button on the DS205 to make it reconnect. Each time when I make a call or when I receive a call the headset will be disconnected.
Luckily (or not), I found a workaround: Whenever I pair up my headset, I need to go to Setting -> Bluetooth -> and "Refresh" the services that I want to enable on the DS205 headset. That involves un-checking the services enabled (including "Wireless Stereo" and "Hands Free") and re-checking the services again. After I have done this "resetting", the disconnection problem I described above will be gone.....
Each time I restart the phone or have the bluetooh disabled on the phone, I need to go through that manual procedure again to make my headset work perfectly.
As you can imagine, that is quite annoying.......does anyone have the same problem as me?
I don't have this problem, but i have another problem, when i use the orignal rom, i can use my headset(jabra bt3030) in my diamond and it will automatically connect to use hands free and wireless stereo mode when i turn on bluetooth, so when i change to use swift 7.5 full rom, i have to resetting the bluetooth in diamond everytime when i close bluetooth
I can only get wireless stereo for my Plantronics Bluetooth Stereo headset. Any ideas why I can't get hands-free. Radio issue?
It was possible with some earlier ROM, but I can't remember which... (yes, I'm a flashing addict).
I'm having the same exact problem & it's annoying as hell. At this point, I can't get the bluetooth function on the phone to activate at all. I use the same bluetooth on another phone with no problems whatsoever, so I know it's the phone. I'm running the original rom.....not a flasher.
Have you tried Jetware?
Sorry, just installing this doesn't change anything. Still no hands-free.
Is there a specific option you want us to set?

Yes - I have a very similar problem with my jabra SP700. The Diamond 'forgets' the wireless bluetooth mode every time I disconnect the two devices (although the Stereo Bluetooth icon is still showing in the status bar).
For a short while I was having to re-pair the devices every time I got in the car - until I found the same workaround as you.
There must be a proper solution???
Hello, I had that problem in my HTC Diamond with Pioneer DEH-700bt and my jabra 3030 and she solves when changing in the registry the key to it that identifies the device in pocketpc HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/Sys the key "COD" and I introduced the value decimal 5898764 that identifies the device in smartphone
luck

Autoconnect A2DP when in range?

Hey Guys!
Is there a way to tell WM6 to automatically route Audio through A2DP as soon as a paired device supporting the profile is connected?
Clarification:
When using a Hands-Free-Headsetfor telephony you can pair it once, then turn it off, after that it is automatically connected to the phone as soon as you turn it on again.
In contrast to that a Bluetooth Stereo headset is not automatically connected, you have to manually activate it in Bluetooth Settings first before you can listen to music through it.
Especially with my car stereo used as "A2DP Headset" (which loses power every time the ignition is turned off) this can get highly annoying.
Is there a way to tell Windows to automatically "use" A2DP-Peripherals when available?
Try A2DP Toggle: http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware
The Today-plugin migt reconnect automatically, but it has a memory-leak...
To easily manually reconnect, you can create a shortcut to the exe:
\Program Files\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\A2DP.exe
Then you can put that program on your today screen easily.
And if you want a nice icon with that shortcut, you can change the shortcut file to:
53#"\Program Files\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\A2DP.exe" "-a2dp:1"?\Program Files\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\settings.exe,-0

Yep. The WM bluetooth stack sucks. It works better with some stereos though. I tried it out in the store with I believe a Pioneer (with bluetooth 2.0) and it was perfect. Turned it on and a2dp connects. Switch to another input and a2dp disconnects. Switch back to bluetooth audio and it connects. It was flawless. I ended up ordering the kenwood built in bluetooth unit (bluetooth v1.2) and it is terrible. I must manually toggle the bluetooth connection (I use a program that I wrote to do so, kinda similar to the above the above poster posted). Also, sometimes after a call comes in it wont reconnect. Sometimes i must power off then on the headunit a few times. Wasnt this thing supposed to make things easier?! A real shame because I love everyting else about the kenwood head unit. It works better with some ROMs on my phone (this is with a tilt; xperia on the way ).
Yeah, A2DP Toggle works for me as well, It's just dumb that this phone cant just do that itself. My old W880i could! I'm using a Sony DR-BT21G headset

A story to learn before you you buy the head-unit I spent almost an hour at Fry's to try many units w/ my Tilt as well (Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood, JVC ...etc) and ordered online w/ the JVC unit. Excellent sound (compare to other model) but disconnect after phone call issue exist. I believe it's HTC fault since my Eten M600 (MS BT stack) and Asus P525 (Widcomm) doesn't have this issue (but others....). But I got to admitted HTC one do have the best sound quality.
BTW, my JVC BT-1 will auto connect my X1/Tilt when I start my car and I think it serve my purpose.

Pairing the Bluetooth with Jabrasp700?

Hi All,
I just got a Jabra SP700 after pairing it with my Kaiser everything works fine ( making a call, receiving a call, Playing music through FM radio and TT navi. through the radio). The problem is when I disconnect the devices and turn them both on they will reconnect automatically but I can't hear anything through the SP700 ( FM Radio ). I will have to delete the device from the phone and pair it again in order to make it work.
Is there a better software for managing the bluetooth connections?
Open to any suggestions.
Thanks.

I have the same problem with my SP700 and my Tritton BT stereo headset.Phone calls work almost all the time through the SP700 speaker, but playing music or through the FM radio seems to be a problem. I can get them to pair up sometimes by only checking the Wireless Stereo box. It works for a few times, but then I have to delete and re-pair again.
I've searched for all over for answers, but nothing seems to be a permanent fix. It's very frustrating to use my devices for anything else but phone calls.
Just to add a bit of info, I do not have any problems with my old Motorola HS820. Of course, I'm not using SP700.
Hope that helps your troubleshooting.
I have exactly the same problem with hte SP700 connecting to a Touch HD.
I notice there is a software upgrade for the SP700 on the Jabra site but I can't get to apply it because I lack a driver to allow the PC to recognise the JAbra SP 700.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Possible solution
Hi
I have had similar problems with the SP700. I was using the Hyperdragon III before the current ROM (in signature). With my old ROM I found that the following method worked:
1) Turn on the SP700
2) Wait for it to make one low tone
3) Turn bluetooth onto discoverable mode on the phone
4) The device then automatically connects over both Hands Free and Wireless Stereo protocols
5) Turn discoverable off
Now that I have the Hyperdragon IV ROM I notice slightly different behaviour:
1) Turn on the SP700
2) Wait for it to make one low tone
3) Turn bluetooth onto discoverable on the phone
4) The device then automatically connects over hands free protocol
5) Go into bluetooth settings on the phone then the devices tab and manually connect by selecting "Set as Wireless Stereo" from the pop up context menu- this connects over the wireless stereo protocol
6) Turn discoverable off
One thing I do find very annoying about the SP700 is that it disconnects from the Wireless Stereo protocol after a phone call is ended. When this happens I have to manually re-connect it by pushing the button on the SP700 until it peeps.
I too would value a software upgrade for the SP700. I just get the feeling that it has somehow shipped with a beta or incomplete firmware. If anybody knows how to do the firmware upgrade please share this.
Thanks

Found a solution that works for me!
First of all thanks guys for the suggestions !
I think SP700 works fine ( GREAT! ) but the issue is with the A2DP. I found out that A2DP turns on the first time after pairing the devices but it does not turn off. So the next time you pair the devices it is turned on and won't accept the new connection. So what I tried to do was after connecting I turned off A2DP and turned it back on and it works fine.
Suggestion
Search for A2DP Toggle, install it and after pairing the devices if it doesn't work just turn A2DP off and back on.
I assigned the 6th hardware button on my Kaiser (PTT Button) to A2DP Toggle that way I can have access to it all the time.
Works great.

Thanks! Nice App! Tried it with my Tritton BT stereo headset and it works! Had to install to my device instead of Storage card, then had to delete and re-pair, but it so far I can toggle between on and off Stereo Headphones without any problem. Will try on my SP700 shortly.
I attached the Cab if anyone else wants it.
Thank you!
Works with SP 700!!!!!

When the software loads, follow the instructions, do not install with any of the microsoft wizards that pop up, it will install itself. I couldn't find anything that lists what changes that were made.
SP700 Firmware
FYI,
I too had the same issues and downloaded the sp700 firmware update. I thought the same thing about the drivers, but called Jabra and they told me the firmware update has the drivers embedded in it. When you start the install you cannot plug it in till it tells you to. After you plug it in it installs the drivers. But BEWARE I have not been able to complete the upgrade, it stopped halfway and bricked. I called support and they said there is nothing to do, but luckily I bought it from Costco and they returned it. So being not so bright I tried it again but on a different computer (thinking that there might be a conflict) and it didn't even load and bricked it again. So I returned it yet again. So then I gave up on Jabra support and found A2DP toggle. It works good enough, so I am leaving it at that....

I have the exact problem that you are having with the new, Hyperdragon IV, ROM.
Is this A2DP Toggle really the only way - I mean what's the difference between pressing a button on my Kaiser to reconnect and pressing the button on the SP700 ??
I have tried using Mortscript as shown http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382172&highlight=a2dp&page=2 Although I edited the end out because it kills the player after ending a call. This hasn't helped either
I am off to see if the same problems occur with my lady's N96. If not and no good solution can be found for this I may have got her a new present.
Aren't I nice ?!
Found another possible solution, it,s called zoA2DP. So far it works flawlessly between my SP700 & stereo headset without having to toggle anything or change any settings. When you install it, delete your original pairings and add them again, make sure that hands free & wireless stereo are checked in advanced options on you BT settings. I believe this is a registry mod, there are no icons or any noticeable applications running in the backround.
