Which Bluetooth Car Kit is recommended ? - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Accessories

Hello all,
I'm using my Athena mostly while driving. The CarKit I use today (from Blaupunkt) seems not to work properly with my Athena. The person I talk to hears me interrupted, Voice Comand doesn't work very well, too.
Who has any suggestions ?
Radio is 1.58.
Thanks in advance
Dieter

Do you know what device can do the job? I have been asking to parrot support and looks they haven't solution. Asked too in my car dealer and they didn't know...

BT 2 devices. Is it possible?

I was sure that with Bluetooth you could use two devices simultaneously. I mean for a sample, GPS receiver and handsfree kit. Is that possible? Is it just a problem of the BT stack or it's related to BlueAngel hardware?
Or perhaps it's just that BT protocol does not allow it? Does anybody know?
Thanks in advance.
BT 2 Devices. Autoanswer.
OK, I found it myself. At least with Widcomm stack, it can be done. MS stack didn't let me do it before. I'll try again. Has anybody tried it before?
2 BT devices
Yes, I have a BT car kit and a BT GPS - both work fine together with my BA (and my Wizard)

Are you using WM5? Can you browse your contacts from your car kit? If so, which rom are you using? I'm getting mad about this...
Thank you very much in advance.
u certainly should be able to use several BT devices wuth on (pocket) PC.
now whether this'll work with Blueangel/Windoze Mobile is another question.

ISSUE- Voice not over BT headset

Guys,
I understand you are concentrating on the WM5 upgrade and other interesting projects. Maybe, you can take a few moments out to share some of your experience with a newbie....
I am using TuMa v1.5 WM5. I am able to use BT really well (of course, the issue of BT turning off with device on stand-by remains).
I am able to connect with my TomTom and with my Cardo Scala BT headset. The problem is this: If I use the headset to initiate a call using the BT headset (by double-clicking the headset buttom to redial or by pressing the BT headset button to voice dial) the call goes through as intended BUT my voice does not go over the BT headset to the other party. Also, the voice from the other party can be heard over both, the BT headset and the phone. This problem DOES NOT appear if I make the calls using the phone with the BT headset connected to it.
Please advice. Thanks for your help and for a great forum, especuially for us newbies.

bt headset
Select use for phone only. Perhaps then it works.
The headset is connecting to device audio, not phone audio.

Really? ... Wow! I'd better update my firewall again.
How'd you steal that version off my machine! 8)
For the sake of argument, I'll presume you're using v1.4, since it has the most up to date BT elements in it, but v1.3 should be very stable for BT communications as well.

Yeah ... I'm still looking into this. I hope to have this working through the Microsoft Stack. The Widcomm one is still looking like a "last resort", and it really is a bit more 'ugly' to use - especially in it's compatibility and (from what I can see) reliability.

Hmmm ... this sounds like there is still some form of a headset audio routing issue as vastloper indicates. Try ensuring that only one profile is active at the time (headset probably).
I will shortly have all the gear I need in order to properly test this myself too.
FYI: I've now recently purchased the following devices:
- SIRF Chipset Bluetooth GPS Unit
- Motorola HT820 Stereo Bluetooth Headphones
- Jabra BT 150 Headset
- Jabra BT 330 Headset
- BlueTrek X1 Headset
And now have access to another Jabra BT 500 Headset, and another pair of Bluetooth Stereo Headphones.
So ... shortly, I will have the ability to REALLY test everything out myself in the Bluetooth realm.
Now all I need is 5 ears, and enough pockets to carry all this stuff in.
The process I used....
Thanks, vastloper and Tuatara.
Tuatara- genius AND a sense of humor... thats a rare combo! We all appreciate your efforts in bringing WM5 to us. You go out of your way to make it better for us. Thanks.
Regarding the issue on this post, just FYI- I used MOHDWADEA's process for voice command over BT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42923&highlight=
Could this cause the problem? Does this light any light-bulbs, any 'aha' moments? Please let me know- I greatly apprecaiet it.
Thanks,

It's possible. I'm not entirely certain what this will change in the configuration (or versioning of replaced DLL's), but it is possible that there are compatibilty issues. Since I don't have a device with TuMa v1.3 on it anymore (one's on Alpha v1.5 testing, and the other is a AKU2 'brick' attempt at the moment), I can't even find out for you.

stream stereo bluetooth without A2DP or any accessories

Has anyone been able to play music on their car's speakers through bluetooth specifically lexus with navigation, LEXUS GX 470 with tilt?
I've tried lots of things to get this working and the only thing that works is the calls but the music doesn't stream over.
Ive read and read everything on here the only advice i see going around is buying more accessories, I want to make this work
without having to buy any bluetooth adapters like jabra or jawbone, i have so many different accessories that i can build a spaceship
and don't want or need anymore. Thanks in advance
Does your lexus support A2DP? If not, then no, it won't connect for streaming stereo audio. Looking at the Lexus web site implies that only HFP is supported.
You can look at the JETWare BT Extention driver.
Tried a lot of different things and hasn't worked isnt there a way to make the phone transmit the music as if i was on a phone call, there has to be software out there that does this.
nope.. havent tried it with that.. but works perfectly with a BMW 528 i flawlessly
( check the kaiser pic thread to see what i mean )

Oh that you actually own the BMW, you could of just linked me to your post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2275428&postcount=145
That's a pretty big thread which would have been hard to find without the exact name.
BMW and lexus are different cars, your probably has A2DP (does it?) where as mine doesn't. Anyway your car is newer.
Check your car user manual. If it says Bluetooth 2.0 (or at least 1.2) with A2DP, then the answer is YES; otherwise, you're wasting your time.
I have RX350 and its bluetooth is 1.0; not sure if Toyota are so generous that they install bluetooth 2.0 w/ A2DP on GX470
You know its funny if you google "LEXUS GX 470 bluetooth a2dp" without the quotes this thread is #2 & #3 right after the lexus website, and you responded literally 2 minutes ago, google sure is working fast.
I don't have the manual, and i don't think it has A2DP anyway.
I'm going to try 2 more programs let you know how it works out.

i was just about to post this..
he's on the money here!
Well Blue music didnt work. But i did hear my music ringtones. Bummer. All I got left is Chartcross Bluetooth Audio Router.
http://www.teksoftbluemusic.com/
Bluemusic is the only software available that offers Voice-over-Bluetooth combined with 100% phone support. People all over the world are now familiar with the expression "Music is wireless!". Starting with version 2.0, not only music, but anything related to AUDIO playback goes WIRELESS with Bluemusic! Make sure you get your own copy today!
It should work according to their website quoted from FAQ page.
3. Will BlueMusic work with the A2DP profile of my Stereo Bluetooth Headset?
BlueMusic is not intended to be used with stereo A2DP headsets, but with the mono bluetooth model headset. The reason is that with the stereo headset you can listen to music from your mobile device by default, but with the cheaper, mono headsets used only for phone calls you can't. So BlueMusic only offers missing functionality for that type of headsets and would be useless for the stereo A2DP. Still, feel free to download the trial version and try it on your device.

TomTom commands over bluetooth car kit?

Hi,
is there a way that TomTom will output the voice commands over my Parrot bluetooth car kit? This would be great as the Diamond speaker quality is really very poor...
Thanks
I am very glad that Diamond doesn't speak through my Parrot (only calls and voice dialing)
My previous Nokia E60 did and it was terrible, always interrupting my in-car stereo
Maybe you have very loud car? or try make TomTom speak louder

Hi..
I don't know if it is spelled the right way.. but vjvlobilis should do the trick.
If it doesn't work for you.. then search here or on google for bluetooth audio gateway.
@tehac: no my car is pretty new and not that loud but the speaker quality on the diamond is really crap.
@Richard: may be I am unable to handle google but nothing found...
I installed BtMusic, this works great with a Parrot CK3100. You could try it!

The previous answers are for using a2dp, but I assume you meant using hf (hands free) profile so it would interrupt the car radio and play the voice direction. This is not possible because of the way TomTom is written, it uses the a2dp profile.
You can listen to music from the phone using the above methods and it will play the voice directions along with the music.
As earlier described, you need support of the A2DP profile in your parrot. I am using a parrot MK6000 and it works like a charm! Also for playing music, streaming music and films (though the last one i hardly use, only see last tour de france news in the traffic jam)
So, does it works, Yes, without problems, Yes, but only with the MK6000 and MK6100

Intresting! So does that mean when any sound is played from the handset, the radio is cut and switched to the handset, then when it finishes it cuts back to the radio?
Sounds great, better than the old ck3000 were you have to switch constant streaming on for it to come through!

Jep, for some programs it works by pressing the play button on the carckit, and if not I go to bluetooth settings and activate bluetooth wireless stereo, then al the things are forwarderd, tomtom, audio, streams etc.
(Tomtom only misses the first 0,5 second of the first sentence, but i resolved this issue by editing the audiofiles from tomtom)

It works exactly as you describe with TT7 and my Ck3100. So without a2dp. Using the tool mentioned, my radio is muted when a voice-direction is played, and the music comes back a few seconds after the command. (Just like with an incoming call)
So in my opinion it also works great with the 3100

@Bureno: I have a CK3000 Evolution. I'll give it a try with the tool mentioned anyway...
Does not seem to work with the CK3000 Evolution. If I switch it to "Enabled" I can hear the commands over the car kit but nothing else, no more radio. If I have it disabled and just set to "Autoconnect A2DP" it does not work.
Any ideas?
Ah so it is just constantley streaming then. It doesnt switch between them?
Yes, that's it...

Try this one posted in a Spanish forum.
ill try to explain how my setup is as best as i can
i have a ppc6700 runing ROm6.1( Kitchen ) and TomTom7 ( with TT6 maps ). I use an external BT ( Holux GPSlim240 ) also use CorePlayer ( for streaming shoutcast ). In the car i have a JVC-BT1 ( bluetooth deck )..
I can play streamed audio form shoutcast and have TomTom talk in the background... Works fantastic !!!!
Only thing is i have to keep the car deck at BT Audio ( its a setting such as CD, Radio, BT phone and BT Audio ) it does not work unless the deck is set to BTAudio..
Anyway i can say it does work with waht i have, cant say for all configurations.. good luck on your venture....
FYI, i just changed over to IGO8 and IT DOES NOT WORK....

@pizcolq: my Spanish is not the best but honestly I do not see what the tool in the thread posted has to do with the problem we are dealing here... perhaps you could translate/explain a part of it? thanks
I saw that basically it is working with Btmusic. The commands are transfered to the car kit, it does just not switch on and off as commands come...
So I guess technically it should be possible, I just need the right app on my diamond which switches the car kit only to on when a command is coming... Can not be that difficult, can it?

Bluetooth not working in BMW iDrive-System

I can't connect my HD7 with my hands free system in my BMW. It just won't connect. Anyone could make it work?
Mine won't work in my ford sync system, ironically made by Microsoft as well. Lol
Worked on mine and in the MINI...
Go into the settings on the car, click pair new device, it will ask you to search for the car, search on the phone, and pair them.
Once they are paired it takes a while but your contacts and text messages will be on the car.
Works ok in my Toyota

Thats useless information unless your Toyota has BMW iDrive System.
Mine has successfuly paired with the 7er iDrive System. The only thing you have to know is the bluetooth code of your car. You have to set the car to the pairing mode and on the phone set up the search for the bluetooth devices. You should see the bluetooth headset device named as the last 7 digits of your VIN CODE e.g. mine is: DS79xxx. Then click on the phone on this device and enter the bluetooth code of the car (its somewhere in the manual) and thats it. It takes some time, till the contacts are synchronized with the car and it depends on how many contacs you have in your phone. I have almost 1000 contacts, so it takes couple of minutes.
I tried couple times. I put the i-drive system in pairing mode and I can find the headset in the phone, but when I tap in the headset the connection fails.
Will be pairing my 3 series today and report back.

Ironically it was more helpful than your post
I appreciate all the posts about your bluetooth experiences. I had no problem pairing my HD7 to my Plantronic Discovery 925. The problem is with the BMW system. It worked fine with my previous phones (TP, TP2, HD2, HD2 Android). I'm glad to know that it is working on other BMW, Mini & Toyota (I also own a Toyota, but it doesn't have bluetooth). It means that it will work for me too, I'm just need to keep trying, and I'll do so after work tonight.
It also works fine in my w204 Class, w212 Eclass and 3rd Gen Prius.
Also works with Parrot Bluetooth and BMW non idrive Bluetooth in E92 3er.
You dont state what model of BMW or version of iDrive you have which may help?
As for you Homer.web posting similar info about your 7er would be more use than the unhelpful comments that you have come up with so far. Grow up.

It's a 2006 M5. I don't know the iDrive version.
I was able to successfully pair my HD7. I tried first thing after starting the car (I don't know if that made the difference), but it finally worked.
Thank you everyone.

I dont think, that it make sence if somebody asks particular question, answer something totaly different. How would you like the answer from the BMW service if you call them, that you have e.g. problem with CD player in your BMW car and they would reply: We tried it on Mercedes Benz car and it works OK.
So: if the topic is so specific, its good habit to answer specific post to that topic.
If you have an urge to tell the world, that you successfuly paired your phone with the bluetooth headset, start the new general topic called "Pairing HD7 with headset/car/..."
I paired mine easily the first time. Working perfectly.
