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.
I don;t know if this has been asked before.
Nut I have my Diamond mounted on my bike and use the Garmin GPS regularly when with the bike.
I have a helmet bluetooth handsfree kit, which i use to make and receive calls, BUT garmin does not route the voice to my headset.
is there a way to have garmin / my phone do so?
Thanks
Anyone?
I want to know if this is possible too..
You need to make sure you bluetooth support stereo profile in order for you to play sound out from your phone to your bluetooth device.
I tested mine and it work fine on iTech radio bluetooth headset.
Hey guys got some questions concerning BT.
I have noticed that bluetooth doesnt always reconnect when it should. Or am i missing something here.
I have my phone paired with my stereo receiver in my car.
- I get in my car and turn on bluetooth. After about a minute my phone pairs with my car and everything is good. I can do calls, stream mp3's via BT and use Pandora as well. Now i stop at the gas station to get gas or whatever. I shut the car of there for breaking the bluetooth connection. Bluetooth is still enabled on my android. However when i start the car back up the phone will not connect to the bluetooth in the car unless i turn bluetooth off then on again.
I'm assuming this is do to some time out count in the BT stack? is there a way to edit something in order to make this auto connect? Any one with greater knowledge on the subject school me a little bit here?
Thanks!
Team,
I have a Z1 with 4.4.2.
I ride a motorbike with on-board bluetooth and bluetooth enabled GPS. I also have a bluetooth headset.
I have an application on my phone called Garmin Smartphone Link that enhances the information on the GPS via bluetooth. I have just seen that the phone can handle simultaneous B/T connections so would I be able to connect the phone to the GPS (for Smartphone link) aas well as retain the main B/T connection between the phone and the headset?
Cheers
I've tried using a smartwatch with wireless headphones and a heartmonitor and it was too much for it, it lags and wasn't communicating well.
I can use smartwatch + HRM, didn't try SmartWatch + Heaphones, but it works well in my car with SmartWatch + A2DP audio.
And if so, will it interfere with my phone's hotspot?
I need to use my phone's hotspot to provide internet access to devices in my car.
If "wireless" AA uses wifi, can it and my hotspot run at the same time?
If I'm not mistaken it works with bluetooth not wifi
Android auto works with both wifi and Bluetooth.
Wifi must be used to transfert image and audio to the car as Bluetooth doesn't have enough bandspace.
Don't know how Bluetooth is used. Maybe Bluetooth is used only to track is Android auto is usable or not.
So it may be problematic with hotspot.
I stand corrected.
Bluetooth is used for voice (calls and media).
Wifi is used for the rest (data/video, input and output).

Not exactly.
Bluetooth is used for calls yes, but media is sent to wifi.
It's impossible to have this sound quality with Bluetooth.
A bit off-topic, but maybe somebody can help me:
in my aftermarket Android Auto set-up the head unit has NO microphone input. Phone calls are handled by the built-in car BT-phone (works fine!), but voice connection drops during every phone call once or twice as the phone call's BT connection goes over to the Android heads BT connection.
My question is: is there a way to FORCE phone calls initiated from Android Auto to use the cars built-in BT phone connection instead of the Android Auto BT voice connection to prevent dropping the voice connection duiring phone calls?
It is an annoyance -but a nagging.
