HI everyone, been reading th eforum for a while now, and the questions if car kits keeps comming up.
I managed to find one today online, looks ok, but needs professional installation.
here is the link ( and no, before you ask, I am nothing to do with the company, just came across it while looking for accessories for my new XDA)

hope it's good!

Product not found!
Sorry about that, if you look under O2 in the same page you will see it. Ever so sorry about that.
damn links!!
This is the O2 xda car kit
I ordered the kit from directmobileaccesories.com and it arrived yesterday, it is an O2 boxed xda car kit.
Everything works fine - except - I removed my old Nokia 9110 car kit which had a radio mute kit that feeds the phone through the car speakers, and tried to connect the radio mute from the O2 kit to the radio mute lead used by the Nokia car kit. When I place the xda in the cradle it immediately cuts over from the radio to the phone, even before the phone part of the xda is activated.
I have a radio mute on the steering console so I have temporarily disconnected the mute lead and fitted the speaker that came with the xda car kit.
Any suggestions why the radio mute cuts over straight away ?
Try making a call
Hi,
I have seen the same behaviour, it looks like the mute works reversed. If you make a call the radio will swotch on.
If this is your problem it should be easy to fix by using a small relay or something similiar.

the problem has resolved itself
the problem I had with the radio muting all the time has resolved itself, it now works perfectly.
Hi Folks
I'm in the market for a new head unit. I'm wondering what your experiences are of the different BT kits and their handling of Telephony and Audio Streaming.
I'm down to 2 different HUs, does anyone have any experience of these with the Niki?

How well does the Niki work with in car BT (especially with the above if poss)?
I would love to be able to use 2 simultaneous BT devices, is it possible?
What is your experience/advice?

I use the Sony MEX-BT2500 - it's brilliant, no problems at all. Pick one up on ebay for around £80, you'll be amazed. They did have them in Halfords a while ago too. You wont have any issues with either unit you've mentioned.
I also have a Holux GPS GR-239 for SatNav, and this pairs up fine at the same time, as does other devices I've tried, so no worries for you, I'm sure.
Well, I went with the Kenwood, http://www.kenwood-electronics.co.uk...7541U/details/
Great unit, and the HF function is fine. It will not stream audio though
Still, 4GB USB stick is well good enough for what I need
Motorola t 505 - Google it. I bought this a couple of months ago and it is the best FM Transmitter I have ever used. The signal is so strong that I hardley ever hear any static, even if I am streaming to a live radio station. I use mine every day as I am always on the road for my job - average 5 hours a day connected through bluetooth and streaming music from my phone to my stereo using the FM transmitter and only have to charge the thing once a week. This is the best one I have found so far and I have tried dozens of different ones.
Also - No interferance from the phone when you get a call unlike many of the other FM Transmitters I have tried - (NO Buzzing at all like you can sometimes get when phone call comes through when your phone is near a speaker or using a cheap fm transmitter) I use mine with my HTC Touch and Love it.
This would be strictly for your car though so if you are looking for headset to use out of the car as well, I guess this won't help.
I jsut realized you were talking head unit but you still might be interested in this product as it may save you money rather then buying a new stereo - Unless your current stereo really sucks, then happy shopping and I hope you find what you are looking for.
Before I bought mine, I was able to test it and make sure it worked well with my phone - Which it did - If you are able to convince them to let you pair it with your device and test how well it works, I would suggest you do just to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase.

Thanks chap, but my old stereo really sucked and needed an update.
I don't need to stream from the phone now I can use USB sticks and the HF phone works great.
I've looked everywhere on this site and maybe I meissed it but I have a jawbone 2 and this is actually my second jawbone through warranty , when I call someone or when someone calls me my jawbone headset brakes up and sounds like im out of range, when I put the jawbone a inche from my tilt then it works perfect .... I need a software patch or something and if this is a subject that has already been resloved please send me the link.
Hope this helps..
I have a newish kaiser and a jawbone2. I flashed several roms, several radios, always ended up finding an issue somewhere, the most recent being the exact persormance issues you've mentioned with the bt/hset.
I'm now using the following, with absolutely zero problems and wonderful quality hands-free, even whilst driving the car @ 70mph with music playing.
Setup:
-rom version: 3.28.61.0. wwe
-rom date: 05/02/08
-radio: 1.65.28.25
-protocol: 25.98.40.07h
It's an updated version of the stock orangeuk rom which came with the device.
Good luck.
Im new to all of this how do I get that on my device?
I'm not comfortable enough with it to explain it myself, so I'll leave it to the experts.

All,
I have an AT&T Tilt, which I have had a for a while. It has had various different ROM's on it. Currently running one of Dutty's latest for the Kaiser.
However, the blasted device no longer recognizes headphones (the ones that shipped with it, or either of the adapters I have). It charges fine, it connects via USB just fine, it just ALWAYS plays music and sound over the internal speaker rather than the headphones.
I've even pulled the thing apart, following the instructions on the wiki, and have taken a good hard look at the jack and connectors, everything seems to be fine visually.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks much

Id maybe switch the radio just to be sure as the radio firmware controls audio. Just a shot in the dark

Just upgraded from an older ROM to a new one, which contained radio 1.65.16.25. Dont know old version, but it was an older radio.
No luck =(
Shot in dark appreciated tho...

you've really got to do some more searching before starting new threads...it keeps clutter down and it is a mind set that is in harmony with the spirit of the forum
please see my post in this short thread that is just TWO WEEKS old...you will find that your problem sounds EXACTLY the same as this person's problem:

Hi everyone, I don't know if I can share it here but I have a problem with my new Android radio.
First, radio works perfectly. I connected it so that it only works on contact. So key out is also radio off.
The problem is as follows: I open the doors and sit in the car. Put the car on contact and radio does NOT respond. Key out, doors locked. I wait until all the lights on the dashboard are off. I open the doors again with the remote control and put it on contact. Radio works perfect!!
I have never seen or heard something like this. Does anyone have experience with this? What is the reason for this? I still have another 12v cable that probably comes directly from the battery but I want to keep it original. If it is not possible otherwise, I have to use it.
My car is VW Passat 1.9 TDI from 2007.
Thank you all!!
Kindly regards,
Yusuf
What is headunit, OEM or Chinese aftermarket? What does seller suggest when contacted for support and has that been tried.
If chinese after market, wrong forum but post details from Android system information including MCU for post to be moved to appropriate forum.
Take the radio out and measure if you have 12V on the wire as soon as you put the car key to ignition.
By this you can check if it is a car problem or a headunit problem.
