DualSIM adaptor for TyTN - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

hello world.
I've been using a DualSIM adaptor with my current phones. It is a digital one, which allows switching by STK (SIM Tool Kit).
Since I've learned, that current digital adaptors won't work in 3G-devices, I'd like to know if there is any 3G-enabled adaptor in sight.
Beyond that I wonder if someone has experience with analogue DualSIM adaptors, that require switching the phone off and on again to change the used SIM.
Do you need to reboot the TyTN completely or will de- and reactivating the phone module do it? How long does a switch take?
regards,
Inquisitor, who will get his TyTN *tomorrow* :lol: :shock: :lol:

From my experience, dual-sim adaptors don't work, check this thread:

Brando 10th era Dual SIM holder

I ordered it 2 days ago and it arrived today. Works quite well with its built-in program. What I like is that it doesn't switch to the other SIM when switching off/on the radio. Switching using Wivit doesn't work. Does anyone know of a small, preferrably freeware Today plugin that would display provider name or telephone number?
I had to make my battery thinner to make the thing fit without damaging the battery cover or any other plastic parts.
Hi, I take it you have this working on the magician. Do you have a web link?
Here's the link; http://mobile.brando.com.hk/. You'll see it on the top right side of the page.
Is it compatible with XDA II?
Let me know please, thanks....

So this one ships with proprietary software?
Can you tell us a lttle about how you got it to work - I have a similar looking dual sim that I cannot get to work
Thanks
Vlado
@rmg: thanks. i'll check out your suggestion.
@wencyv: it should work but i cannot give any personal guarantees. Brando's website states that it is compatible with all phones but does not indicate PDA phones specifically. i just took the risk in orderring. i decided to order this adapter for three reasons;
1. i thought it was thin enough.
2. no need to cut the SIM cards.
3. i still have with me a monstrous dual SIM card adapter that i used in my Nokia 6310 and it works in my S100 but there's no way to put the battery cover.
@evlado
Mechanical:
the adapter looks like a letter "C". on one end, a SIM card can be slipped in (this is the primary SIM). on the other end, the ribbon cable has a bit of glue in order to stick the SIM so it does not move while inserting it into the unit's SIM holder. my unit's SIM holder is quite tight even for just the SIM card alone.
at first I thought that this adapter was just the right thickness but eventually i couldn't make the battery cover fit, therefore just decided to make the battery thinner by removing the thinner side of the battery's case using a very thin sharp knife. the battery's plastic case seems soft but its actually quite brittle.
How it works:
the adapter is pre-programmed with its own STK menu. the features are as follows;
1. SIM telephone numbers can be typed in for easier menu identification.
2. there is no need to switch the radio offon to switch SIMs.
3. supported languages are english and chinese.
4. two display modes (i see no difference)
5. pre-defined SIM switch interval time (2,3,4,6,8,10,15,20,25, and 30 min.).
i discovered that if the radio is switched off then on again, it activates the last used SIM. i like this feature because if i'm going on a business trip then i switch to my company's SIM from the time i leave the house or office. when i get into the plane i have to activate flight mode, and when arriving at my destination switching off flight mode still activates my company's SIM. with other adapters it requires the process of switching off/on twice to activate my company's SIM. of course there are software like Wivit for these type of adapters, but then again its an additional cost.
bugs:
the radio must first be on before switching SIMs, otherwise the radio is switched on showing the right provider name in the phone app but calls are diverted directly to the active SIMs's voicemail.
So you had to scratch the battery case to make room for the holder? Was this an easy thing to do, or did you run the risk of damaging the battery?
I am looking for a dual holder for my Wizard, but don't want to cut my sims. Anyone know which one will fit?
hi there,
sorry for sounding a bit dull. could you please explain the thinning the battery a bit more in detail. was it the the battery or the cover you thinned. i am looking to dothe same with my wizard. and does it viod the warranty.
many thanks for your help

Any screen shots of what it looks like on the PPC - I was trying to work out where the menu would be shown.
Terran
the S100 battery cover isn't thick enough to compensate for the dual sim adapter's thickness of a bit over 1 mm. If ever, one would need special tools (ie. milling machine or similar) to make a professional job.
another reason why i decided to modify the battery is that it is available in many online/retail shops. if i do decide to sell my unit, putting a new battery is a selling point.
the S100 battery is composed of two plastic parts, the box which holds the batteries and is 5 mm thick. this is where the connectors can be seen. then there is the cover which is 2 mm thick and is glued in some places with some sort of super glue. the middle part is glued to the battery itself with a strong double side tape. i used a thin sharp knife to separate the box with the cover. this was an easy job but at some point the knife went too deep and i saw a little spark. i must have hit some electrical point in the the pcb. luckily the battery still works. i broke the cover into pieces while trying to remove it from the middle part. the whole process took me 5 minutes. attached is a zip file containing some photos hoping that you guys would have a better idea of what i did.
unfortunately i don't have a screen capture utility installed on my unit. once the dual sim adapter is in place and the radio is on, an icon symbolizing a sim card is automatically created within the program menu. when the radio is off this icon disappears. starting this app will display a window with the title AUT. below is the menu tree and functions.
1. note: 1 and 2 are position for sim card identificating
2. which can be labled by a function in the set menu.
Set
...Back ----------------- save settings and return to previous menu
Edit 1 ------------------ to lable sim card 1
Edit 2 ------------------ to lable sim card 2
Sw On ----------------- activate Set switch time
Sw Off ----------------- deactivate Set switch time
Set switch time ------ time setting for sim card switching
English ---------------- menu in english
Chinese --------------- menu in chinese
Display mode 1 ------ i don't see a difference between these two modes. according to the very vague and poorly written description (in english) in the packaging, it is somehow phone dependent
Display mode 2
...Abort ---------------- exit without saving settings
the dual sim adapter works very well even when tt5.2 is running. now i have one device less to carry in my travels. i always carry with me a swiss power travel adapter with a usb attachment then i use a very small 4-port usb hub so i can charge my S100, Jabra BT800, Supertooth II car bt handsfree, and my tt gps receiver all at the same time.
sorry for the late reply guys/gals. i was out of town.

Hi Zerimar,
Does it work with wivit sim status switcher?
http://www.wivit.com
Francis.
I already mentioned this on my first post. No it doesn't. Also you don't need Wivit 'coz it has its own STK menu. I just use DKToday, a freeware to know which SIM is active.
Sorry for the stupid question
I didn't see the post.
Francis
No problem. The dual sim card adapter has been working like a charm.
hi zerimar: ordered in europe?
if it arrived in two days, thats a short trip coming from HK to switzerland
Shall I assume you orderd it from switzerland or EU?
I dont dare to order from HK
Many thanks
Hola,
Hal comienco tenia duda pero Brando se comprovo que es una empreza muy responsable. Dentro de tres aƱos, he comprado muchos productos para mi SE P900 y Samsung D500, y nunca habido problemas con los productos. Y si tengo preguntas tecnicas, respuestan rapidamente.
At first I also had my doubts but Brando proved that it's a very responsible company. In a span of three years, I have bought several items for my SE P900 and Samsung D500m and never had problems with the products. If ever I have a technical question, they reply immediately.
Many thanks for quick response, and for spanish language use.
no doubt about them, but i fear money transfer and trasportation fares, custom delays......
Are you aware of any EU distributor or reseller??
best regards
I've always paid using my credit card. It's usually the easiest way. I don't know about Spain but I think here in Switzerland anything upto CHF 100.00 doesn't get taxed.
I've once seen an internet seller from Germany. I can't remember right now but I'll look for it and let you know.
PS. I'm basically Spanish born and raised in the Philippines and have been living in Switzerland for the past 14 years. I hope my Spanish writing was correct. I could speak better than write since nowadays I hardly communicate in Spanish.
just to share with others: I did buy my leather casing with my previous PDA phone at brando before, I think that was last March.... my item just came right away after 4 days without any problem/hassle... I am planning to buy this dual sim maybe next year

Anyone got Sim Access Profile working?

Hi
I wondered if anyone had successfully used the Sim Access Profile capabilkity of the of TyTn to connect with a Bluetooth car kit. I'm trying to get the connection going with a Merc. car kit, but I can't get them to pair.
Thx
Hi petes, I have an slk 55 amg with command and bluetooth. The bluetooth in the command system does not work for pairing with a phone. Even though it says it has bluetooth. To use bluetooth you need an extra module.
Hope this helps...

Hi Dale
Thanks. I actually already have the module - the european version of the module is different to the US one in that it uses Sim Access Profile, rather than just acting as a headset. The TyTn says is supports SAP, but I just can't make it work - wondering if anyone's actually got SAP working.

Hi Petes,
I also have an Mercedes-Benz with the european bluetooth module. But I have a Qtek 9100 updated to AKU2 (Which is supposed to support SAP), but no luck at all. Actually the module can not even identify my phone and display it at the search screen of the comand screen. I tried also with a NOKIA 6230i (SAP Compatible phone) which actually I was able to see at the search list of the comand screen which means that the module is working with SAP compatible phones. What I will do next, is to try again with the new firmware I installed to my 9100 (T-Mobiles 2.21 Version) which has a SAP application for bluetooth (Something like SAP Server).
I can not do it yet because I am abroad and I will be back again 1st of September. I will let you know the results ASAP.
If you have any news from your site with TyTn please let me know because I was intending to change my 9100 to TyTn just for the SAP functionality.
Hi Barsam
The reason you can't find the 9100 when you search with the BT module is that it only looks for devices which identify themselves as Phones. The TyTn (and no doubt the 9100) identify themselves as Pocket PCs and so the (stupid!) Mercedes kit ignores them. The good news is that you can hack the registry to tell the Bluetooth stack that it's a phone. The bad news is that you can't pair with it. Getting it into the search screen doesn't mean it supports SAP - I could see my old T68 just when I was testing. Could you actually pair with the 6230i - i.e. when you see it in the list select Call?
When you're back, PM me and I'll send you the hack.
To tell you the truth I didn't try to pair the 6230i, but it's one of the phones that mercedes have tested on the bluetooth module. If I don't manage to do it with the 9100 I may get a 6230i. At least I can use the one that my brother has to test it and even copy my contacts to comand. Have you tried the hack with the TyTn? Can you tell me what is the the registry set to do that?
Where did you find out that the bluetooth module ignores enything elese than phones?
Make the following registry change
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\SYS]
"COD"=dword:52020C
On your own head etc.. Keep a copy of the current value of course. Then do a soft reset. You'll then see it as a phone. I've tried this, and can now see the phone, but can't pair. I've had a mail back from HTC that they're aware of some problem with the SAP and are working on it.
I wish a nice car kit would be released in the USA that supports SAP/850 & 1900/ external aerial...
hello,
i'm trying to get my TyTN working with my Meceder Command too... does anyone tried the English ROM-Update? Someone wrote that he can use it's TyTN with his Audi after updating the ROM. And tha Audi-MMI-System works also with SAP... perhpas after the ROM-Update it works with Mecedes Command System too...
I haven't tried it yet - I've been waiting for the TyTn update to come along, but nothing from HTC yet. If I don't get anything soon, I'll switch over to the iMate ROM and report back.
I have used a nokia 6233 6280 onmy E55 2005 with B/t Module
The mercedes module in conjuntion with the command system is problimatic, hoever I think I have another peice of the puzzle. With both the above phones they only worked using Vodaphone 3g cards Three 3g cards paired using SAP however could not get recieption....Mercedes say (there guessing) its the way the sim card is configured.....
Mercedes BT
I have a TYTN on order and Im desperate to find a solution to the issue before it arrives.....
As a follow on to my last post ...basically what I THINK found out was if the sim card was configured to work only on a 3G phone..(some networks do this so that they cannot be put in a 2.5g phone and constantly roam on).....then it would pair with the Bluetooth module in Mercedes however never get recieption.
I tried this on several phones including 6233 6280 N80 E61.....just to name a few....ALL PAIRED....however If I put a Vodaofone 3g Card in then IT worked .....IF i put a Three 3G card in it didnt.....BUMMER CAUSE I'm with THREE.....
I hope this helps in some way and Im more than happy to be corrected however these are my first hand expeirnces....I WANT TO USED THE TYTN in my MErc so Im keen to help in amy way....I have unlimited access to phones...so if anyone has any other suggestions Im happy to give it a go....
Mark
At the moment, you'll find that by default the merc kit won't even see the Tytn (it's a pocket pc, not a phone as far as Bluetooth is concerned). You can hack the registry to change this, but then the phone will be seen, but pairing will fail. Hopefully, the forthcoming firmware update will fix this - I've had mail back from HTC support to suggest they know there are problems with the SAP support.
Mercedes BT
Is there anyone who had paired Nokia phones with Mercedes BT(euro spec) successfully? I had tried for several Nokia phones (6230i/6270/6280) to pair with BT ,all failed. I can just find the 16-digit PIN on Comand, no phone appears on Comand. Phone & Comand can't find each other. Do I have to set other setting except the "bluetooth setting" for mobile phone? Even I try to "search for audio enhancements" and 'find no devices' at all .
Thanks Petes,
Did they give any idea on time frames?...Did you have any thoughts about my experience with the different sim cards....
Mark
I am considering buying the HTC TyTN and the Merc Bluetooth module so I am very keen to know if anyone can get this working.
Thanks,
Ady
Nope - no news on timescales I'm afraid - just waiting for the firmware update from HTC. I'm reluctant to try the iMate firmware at the moment - until there's an HTC to go back to in case something goes awry. Has anyone had a chance to try SAP with either of the newer firmwares (iMate or Dopod) - might give us a good clue if the HTC one's going to work.
I've connected my 6230i easily enough, just remember to allow "auto connect without confirmation" on the phone after entering the 16 digit code
I have tried my HW6915 pocket pc but like the other PPC's it is not recognised
A reply I got from HTC support on 21/09/2006 asking about the Merc SAP problem was:
At present the TyTN is only compatable with a limited number of kits. A ROM update will be released shortly to update this.

So fingers crossed that it will be soon and solve the problem.
I asked them the same thing a while ago and just checked back in on availability. Just got ...

So, patience is a virtue I hear....

connection - non bluetooth question/search for leads

bear with me on this one while I try to explain...
I have an o2 XDA Exec that has tomtom 6 on it
I want to use the phone/sat nav, while on my bike
I have got a Starcom Advance - http://www.starcom1.com/ that is all working on the bike
Now, I do not want to use bluetooth if I can avoid it....
The starcom has a seperate connector for the phone and for satnav. (Both 3.5mm jacks)
I think that if I can find a 3.5 mm double male lead then I am hoping I can just plug it into the xda and the starcom - but what lead do I need? (Needs to allow the microphone to work btw)
I am hoping that some kind person knows what lead is needed so I can source one from maplins etc.... or that it just will not work!
I have the same problem! I use the Intraride system, but it's exactly the same set-up as the StarCom (used to have one) The solution I found was something like the Ericsson bluetooth handsfrees. They come with a detachable earpiece, so you can connect the units to the intercom using the phonelead that should have been supplied in the intercoms box.
First option is the HBH-20, there is one on ebay now for next to nothing.
HBH-20 Ebay Clicky
I then tried the HBH-200, which is similar, but includes a CallerID function. Nothing on ebay, but here is a link so you can see what I mean:
Clicky
Both devices are the size of a box of matches, so no troubles there! What I did find is that both units can be querky with the bluetooth connection, (down to the phone not the handsfree and this was on the OE o2 ROM, and one of the cooked WM6 versions) and also the volume was a bit quiet. Solution I've gone with now, is to swap my SIM into a normal phone (Nokia 6310i and universal adapter) and just plug that in. I also had good results with the Motorola V50 which has a 2.5mm connection that will just plug straight in.
Hope you find something that works for you! Although if anyone knows of an adapter to allow normal 2.5mm handsfrees to be connected to the 3.5mm socket on the universal...I'd love to know too! I have already looked at the adapters from Expansys, but these only allow PC type headsets to be connected (ie those with a separate 3.5mm headset and earphone lead)

Integrating Kaiser into Audi Q7 MMI with universal cradle prep

Hi,
I researched this quite extensively but no real solution yet.
I have Kaiser and I recently bought Audi Q7. Kaiser works fairly OK over Bluetooth (Jetware installed). I can see and import contacts - not a very elegant process since the name and surname get joined up and all the numbers, which belong to any one contacts are shown separately (with /M, /W etc.) and I have to do a lot of work manually to sort everything out after import. But I can live with that.
However, I would like to integrate my Kaiser into the phone prep located underneath the central armrest (I believe it is universal so I can put on any cradle supplied by Audi - it just seems from the list of supported devices that Audi sells no cradle compatible with Kaiser or any PDA phone), so it would use the power supply and antenna in the car.
Can anyone help me in any way?
So, no solution anyone? I've been searching for days now and it seems that the only practical thing would be to buy a cradle for another phone and then convert it somehow for use with Kaiser... Not a very elegant solution though...
BR
You can use Bluetooth rSAP adaptator for this connection: it is Audi ref. 8P0 051 440 for the A4 (2008);and it looks identical connection...
You may also have standard hand free bluetooth by the MMI (but this don't use external car reception), I can use the phone contacts also this way in A4...

rSAP connectivity

Sadly enough I have noticed that the xperia X1 does not like my premium volkswagen carkit. As used in passat or audi or skoda superb, bmw, Mercedes, etc.
I have an RNS-510, but have also tried it with a RNS-310. Both having the premium carkit in it. Also called carkit III.
It uses rSAP to enable transfer of contacts and phone settings control.
I have tested with a nokia N95 and it works perfectly fine with that after you enable the remote sim access profile. Also known as SAP.
Sadly enough, the X1 refuses to connect. The carkit just says the phone is not compatible.
Anybody have any clue what to do?
Maybe a custom ROM which does have this functionality? Or a tool that can be added?
u r talking about remote sim access right?
my rom (cmex absolute touch) got an option to enable it under bluetooth setting (connections)
Yes or You use this little cab! Works perfectly with VW Golf VI PRemium Handsfreekit. I used the smaller file, but if it dont works try the bigger one!
In the bluetoothsettings you should find the sap profile after the installation, and in the programs a small utility to activate it. the Xperia himself has no SAP Profile!
wow!
I definately came to the right place! I will try this out tommorow first thing and let you know if it works!
Thnx's again. Also considering your rom now achmed20, because I believe this is quite basic functionality which should have been there in the first place!
As I said, I'll let you know if this worked!
not working yet
Well, that helped, a bit.
I get to the connection screen, have to enter the 16 digit pincode and after that the car just says connecting, and stays doing this for a minute or two and then just says failed or not compatible.
So I'm a lot further, but it isn't working yet! I'm thinking because of all the things I have tried, I might have broken it somewhere, but unsure how or what.
Thinking of maybe flashing it with a different (custom) rom, to see if that might fix the problem.
Anyone have any other advice?
no experience with the kind of trouble your having but if you want to try off on a fresh start, i would do a hard reset, then install the cab fix that was recommended.
still not working
I just installed the cmEX absolute TOUCH rom and did a hard reset after that.
Enabled rsap on the last tab of bluetooth and the car says its connecting and just does that for a long time (after entering pin code). Sadly enough, it just times out.
Anybody have any clue what could be the problem? I have the feeling we are allmost there, but there is just a little thing causing it to time out.
rsap even says it's connected to my skoda and everything.
From what I can gather, the cmEX absolute TOUCH rom is based on a touch HD.
more testing!
Okay, from what I have been able to gather, the following is going on.
The carkit is trying to log on in a frequency that it cannot handle.
I have been able to connect the carkit, download the address book and make calls with my Xperia now. No problems what so ever....except one. I was using a SIM from a collega whom has a different network!
I use t-mobile and my collegea has kpn/telfort. Doing more research, I have learned that kpn/telfort and vodaphone use the 1800 band frequency. And that t-mobile uses the 900 frequency.
I am not entirely certain at this point that this truly is the real problem, but, my phone works, my carkit and car works, so all the software bits are in sync, but only using a different sim. Rebooting the phone, changing nothing but the sim, makes it completely broken again!!
I'm using a RNS-510 with the Skoda/VW premium carkit. If anyone is able to shed some light on this and what possible fixes could be, I'd really like to hear!
I have been looking (and mailed) if a fiscon unit could potentionaly fix this problem. They also have units which intergrate with the system.
But I'd rather find a software solution, obviously. Sadly enough, manny cases can be found where people have problems, often, with no solution. This problems is *NOT* specefic to the Xperia, I do realize that now, since the new ROM, rSAP is working just fine.
more complex then ever....
Okay, things just more complex then ever before.
My x1 using a HTC touch HD rom base and rSAP from HTC (default in rom).
KPN sim = works and can call
Vodaphone sim = logs in but carkit crashes on trying to connect to cell towers. But car connection functions.
T-mobile sim = connection to carkit never gets finished.
I'm totally lost. Using a friends N95, all the sims work flawlessly.... which makes me even more clueless, because the carkit reads the sim data and then connects using it's own radio to the cell network.
Please, advice? How can this be fixed? Is there a different version of the HTC rSAP software available maybe?
The plot thickens again.
Using my sim card in my X1, not working. Original ROM, Original ROM + rSAP extensions, cooked rom from touch HD with native rSAP. Just non-functional.
Using the exact same phone, without the t-mobile sim but with the KPN sim, works perfectly, no problems what so ever.
Using an older Nokia E50, both sims work flawlessly, also my t-mobile sim.
This leads me to one conclusion and that is that the HTC rSAP implementation is seriously bugged.
Anyone have any idea on how to proceed? Somewhere I have read that the HTC's wouldn't handle 3G or UMTS sims and only use older ones. But, using the KPN sim I connect to 3G and it works. Also the nokia E50 of N95 can use any network and it just plain works. There for that statement is wrong in my opinion and it is caused by buggy software of HTC.
Anyone have a good idea on how to proceed? Lots of people having this problem and buying nokia's, but for no real reason other then buggy software it seems.
I really like my X1, and payed a lot of money for it, so I really need this to start working.... Please assist and help, also people with a diamond or other HTC, using the same software.
sadly enough, no progress
Did some tests again today, but sadly enough, no progress yet.
I'm going to try and get a hold of a Touch Diamond and a Touch HD and see how those preform with my sim. If my suspiciouns are correct, they will also fail, making this a combination of bad software with bugs with certain sim's.
That is the conclusion I am faced with right now... sadly enough, no idea how this can be remedied.
Are there developers whom might be able to write a reliable rsap implementation or will HTC ever come with a working version?
What do you guys think?
Sonyericsson will not provide SAP for the Xperia. Thats the point....
Been in contact with support
I have been in contact with Sony-Ericsson support and they tell me they cannot make the X1 compatible, because it is not just software.
Off course, to me this sound like total bull****, seeying I have allready had an raap connection with the X1. But this was either using HTC software add-on's or using a rom that was based on the htc touch HD.
Sadly enough, I cannot work without this functionality... and thus will be forced to sell my phone and buy... a nokia.... not bad, since I have had nokia's all my life. But I really really do not eNjoy beying forced to do so.
But everybody has known that the xperia has no SAP Profile... in every test, in every Datasheet you can see it! Why you buyed an xperia?
Wrong order
I orderd the x1 around the same time I orderd my new car (Skoda Superb II 2.0 TDI Ambition Business line ).
The car came with a carkit that can only do rSAP, but it is very very nicely intergrated with a external antenna, full adress book acces, etc. etc.
To my amazement, there was no rSAP on the phone, while all current high end models do carry support for it. Thus thought that a simple program or rom fix would provide it.... sadly enough, while some stuff works, it is very very flaky.
So it's a combination issue, off course I realize that. But I'd rather replace my phone and sell the x1, then having to change the carkit piece in my car (it is far more expensive). And still, I just cannot believe that such a basic function, is not in there.
Especially because it is made by HTC, which do carry this functionality!
So the problem was created by having both products in the same time frame. And my reluctance to believe such a high end phone would not carry this protocol.
From closer reading though. It seems that the x1 (with a custom rom) is not at fault here. If my speculations are right, any htc device with rsap from factory even has a big change that it is not going to function. Also reflected by my tests.
Using a HTC touch HD based rom on the X1, rsap is added and functions brilliantly using a KPN sim. Vodaphone works sometimes and crashes the carkit now and then and using a t-mobile sim, it does not work, at all. Since I have a t-mobile business account... it doesn't work at all for me.
I have not been able to get a hold of a Touch HD or Touch Pro to test if these problems also form on that phone, but will do so when I get the change.
So for now, even the HTC software seems to be bugged and thus I have formed my conclusion that my best option is to go back to nokia (which I have used for about 10 years now). The x1 is great, but not beying able to call in the car.... that just isn't going to work for me.
The new N97 looks pretty decent....
I have a jetta 06 tdi with mfd2(dvd version rev c) and skoda (kufatec) bluetooth modul installed by myself. I can do a Synchronisation of the Phonebook with Names and Numbers , dialed and missed calls , incomming calls with Names and i have a option to accept or decline a Call from the fis display , using my Multifunction Steering Wheel. Everything working perfect with my Xperia x1i.
Hmm
Most likely that module is a fiscon module or an older part of skoda. Am I correct?
The fiscon does not use rsap and older premium carkits from VW also did not. But their newest carkits included in the passat CC and skoda superb II are rsap only.

Old Version
Ah, yes. That is an orginal skoda part, but it is the older version from the Superb I and not the Superb II. That uses the other profiles and not rSAP.
touch HD behaves just the same
Hi everybody.
I had the chance to test both X1 (rSAP from cabs in post #3, thanks by the way) and HD (native rSAP implementation) on a VW touareg premium car kit and I must say they suffer from the same problems: most of the time the connection is established, but immediately drops and enters an endless loop of connection/disconnection, where everything can happen: car kit crashes, phone crashes, vodafone goes bankrupt, etc.
What hurts the most, though, is that very rarely and randomly, the connection with X1 is firmly established and everything, for unknown reasons, starts to work fine. This drives me crazy, for it would be a lot easier to cope if the feature wasn't available full stop.
Nonetheless, this makes me think a solution must exist somewhere, but I'm too much of a noob to find it...
Hope this helps, byebye.
