My Problem:
I have an HTC Kaiser and a Bury Car Kit (without Bluetooth)
yes i know, normally it is not possible to get sound from the mediaplayer, TomTom or Keypad over the bury car kit and the radio, only telephone calls
BUT
Yesterday, I drive to a customer and i don’t know what happens. I have receive a call and after 3 minutes the call was broken and the normal radio goes on. At these times all the missing sound comes over stereo sound to me!
I was so happy, the radio was going mute and tomtom say in stereo quality to me: Turn left!
I try to play mp3s - the radio goes mute - and mp3 coming - IT WORK'S!
I try the Keypad - the radio goes mute again - IT WORK'S too!
And then? after a soft reset the dream was over…. No sounds more…
But now I know its possible to hear all sound in perfect quality.
Have somebody a idea to make it woks for ever?

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....

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,

upgreading to 2.8.7 last night, go to buy an itech r35 stereo bt headset this morning...... and..... bad sound comes from my earphone when i open wmp and play mp3...... :shock: ............which cost me 550 CNY
you're using the a2dp profile?
what exactly do you mean by ugly sound?
i have s35, too. but i haven't tried it with the a2dp yet.
I have the WWE A2DP rom loaded, I have a S38 and I have found that once paired it works but if you turn off the headset and turn it on it does not connect the stereo profile again, you have to go in to the bluetooth device and tap set bluetooth stereo audio to get it to work again.
Have you found this?
yea...same here...i have the itech BlueBAND...and everytime i turn it off, i have to reconnect it manually via the bluetooth settings.
anothing thing is...sometimes my music gets cut for a few seconds and it comes back....this happens when i dont use a sim card (PDA only mode)...anyone else found this?

using the motorola ht820 headphones connect as soon as i switch on the headset, the headphones make a low quality sound then a nice quality sound as the bluetooth streaming is found. no need to re-pair.
i have noticed a loss of sound sometimes, but this seems to coincide with other people near me on the train turning on their phones.
hmm...guess its an Itech thing. Hope it get works out by the final release. I love the earbuds, or we will be looking for the motorola.
I have the same problem (sound being cut) with Anycom BSH-100 stereo headset. To my amazement, I found out that I can cut down these disturbances if I place the phone on my sleeve instead of on the belt. Also, it happens much less when I'm static - as opposed to riding my bicycle (for which I bought the BT headset in the first place). I'd love to find out who's the culprit - whether the headset, the RF in the K-Jam - or the software (in which case there's hope for an improvement).

where did you download the profile for 838/9100?
my device can't work with s35, so my s35 has to stay in a side.
I'm using my Touch Diamond with TomTom in my car. Also I have a Nokia CK-7W carkit which I'm using with my Touch Diamond without any problems. When I get called, the radio switches to mute (*Telephone*) and I can hear the phonecall through the carkit speaker.
What I want now doesn't seem to work however. I'm using the program BTaudio to bluecast any sound that comes from my Touch Diamond to the Nokia CK-7W carkit. This works: When I enable BTaudio, sound is being redirected through my carkit, so any sounds from TomTom (or my TD mp3 player) is being played through this carkit speaker. The problem however: It is continuously claiming the speaker, even when there is no sounds. So when TomTom isn't talking, I still get the radio muted (*Telephone*), but no sounds from the carkit speaker (obviously).
I would like the radio to mute only there is sound coming from my Touch Diamond, so I can continue to use the car-radio for my normal music. I know the carkit has this option, with my previous Nokia 6230 the radio muted when I was dialing a number, to hear the dailtone through the carkit speaker. Also, the normal carkit function is working properly: It only mutes the car radio when there is an incoming or outgoing call, enabling the car radio to play music when there isn't any calling.
So in short: I would like BTaudio (or any other program) to only bluecast when there is actual sound coming from the Touch Diamond, otherwise I would like to hear the car-radio. Is there any way in realizing this? I heard from another person who also uses BTaudio and the Touch Diamond that doesn't has any problem with this on his Parrot carkit, it works the way I (and he) wants it to work.
I hope I'm making sense to all of you, because I would really like this 'issue' solved! Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions!
Sorry for kicking this post, but I would really like TomTom to work properly with my carkit, so if anyone has any suggestion I would gladly hear them!
Did you find a solution?
Hey all,
I just picked up a shiny new set of Sony DR-BT10CX A2DP headphones, because I was sick of the huge Diamond headphone adapter.
I was hoping that the clever folks of xda-developers could clear up a few things for me, though.
Does A2DP support calling (microphone, etc), or should the phone switch the HFP/HSP when a call is made (or comes in)?
I ask because I'm getting bizarre behaviour...
If I'm listening to music and I make a call, the music mutes and I get my friend's voice through the headphones, but I have to speak through the phone.
If I'm listening to music and I receive a call, the music still mutes, but I have to use the phone to hear and speak.
Also, voice commands don't work through the microphone.
If the phone is supposed to switch into HFP from A2DP to deal with calling, this all makes sense (sort of...), but it doesn't explain why the profile switching doesn't happen.
I know there are already a bunch of topics about the Diamond and A2DP, but nothing that fits my situation. Since I'm using the Telus CDMA Diamond, I imagine that the other problems with A2DP were fixed (since I never have the problem of the phone playing music through the speaker instead of the headphones after a call), but it's still not perfect.
I am the happy owner of a HTC Topaz.
I ride a motorbike, and have recently bought a bluetooth crash helmet with built in speakers / mic which works a treat for answering and making calls and also for listening to TomTom navigation instructions from my HTC Topaz.
However, I have yet found a solution to allow me to listen to the built in radio via bluetooth. Because HTC requires the plug-in headset to act as an antena the radio doesnt work without it.
However when I plug in the headset, i get instant radio reception but then the sound is routed to the plug-in headset , rather thean the bluetooth speakers.
My logic tells me that there must be some way to use the plug in headset as ONLY an antena allowing the sound to be routed by deafault to the bluetooth headset. Surely this is software driven?
I am not a software Guru, but keen to learn and frustrated that there doesnt seem to be a yet obvious solution to this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
