I currently have the Cingular 8525 (HTC Hermes). I had to downgrade from Mobile 6 to Mobile 5 because the Bluetooth Headset profile under Mobile 6 failed to work correctly with My Nissan Sentra's Bluetooth hands free system.
Mobile 5 works perfectly while 6 does not give me any audio.
I will really appreciate it if anyone who owns a Kaiser/Tilt can share his experience with his car Built in System. I will get one in a heartbeat if this issue is confirmed to be resolved on the Kaiser.
The other cars that I know others had an issue with are from the French Citroen Peugeot and Renault
Thanks
I went the aftermarket route, installing a Sony MEX-BT5000 headunit in my car. It pairs in both handsfree & A2DP with my old Wizard & new Tytn II. BT performance is better than any headset I've ever used; no static at all.

I got the little sister of the BT5000 the MEX-BT2500 which don't have caller Id and does the same thing for 1/2 of the price.
You guys have no problems with your Kaiser and the MEX-BT5000??? I'm getting all kinds of echo, and low volume reports from people I'm talking to. I know the problem is with the Kaiser because my old RAZR works fine.

Hi chaps,
Ive got a brand new XDA2 2 weeks ago and I bought a Bluetooth GPS receiver from these guys:
http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI...ex_gensales&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50
Works perfectly without patching, hotwiring or standing on my head - NICE 1!
My question is, can anyone recommend an incar bluetooth handsfree kit rather than headset that works with the xda2???
And is it true that I can run 2 bluetooth devices at the same time if I patch my xda with the now world famous bluetooth patch featured on this forum?
Thanks guys...
Darren
I am running tomtom 2 with the 2.09 gps driver and also a bluetooth headset at the same time without any patch.
ahhhhhh....
so you *can* run more than one device now *without* patching hhhmmmm.... ahhhh... cool, what model is your headset? I really want a bluetooth car kit which detects the phone and takes control when i get into the car but it'll be good to know a headset that definatly works.
Thanks man
I have a sony-ericsson hbh-200 which works ok but only for answering the phone, also it needed rebonding many times. I am now using a Skypower EZ232 ez clip which works the same but re-connects after going out of range, I am as I type, linked via activesync over bluetooth to my pc, I have internet working on the xda2, my bluetooth headset is also working and I also have tomtom2 working using gpsmart gps bluetooth receiver, so more than one device is definitely ok without any patches.
top BT Carkit: Parrot CK2000 or later
I use these fix built in BT-carkit. it makes a good word with the htcII
nice one
Thanks guys.......

Nokia CK 1-W doesn't work
I've tried the Nokia CK 1-W carkit, but this carkit doesn't work properly with the MDA II. Nokia only supports the handsfree profile and the MDA II is only supporting the headset profile.
The headset profile has got less features than the handsfree profile. I know that Sony Ericsson and Parrot supports both profiles. When you want to have supported all handsfree features by your carkit you need the handsfree profile!
Does anybody knows an update to fix this problem?
Hi all
I received my xda exec yesterday, and most things seem to be OK, but I can't get it to work with my Motorola HS810 bluetooth headset. Does anyone know why this might be? If it's a total incompatibility thing, and I have to get a new headset, could anyone recommend a cheap but serviceable alternative?
Many thanks,
Carol
not sure about your headset but my sony headset worked fine
better than it did with my sony p900 infact as the pairing seems a lot more pernament where as with p900 i used to have to re pair the two almost every time i switched blutooth on
im now using jabra bt 800
excellent for me and the vibrate feature means you can leave it in pocket and use it as your phone to answer calls rather than getting exec out of its pouch, without walking round all day looking like an extra from star trek voyager or a dixons advert
Ah. Thank you. The Jabra was the one I was looking at as a possible alternative. I think I'll check that out. My husband's bluetooth headset also connected to my xda with no problems at all...so I think it must be the Motorola that's the problem. Maybe it's an earlier Bluetooth version or something...
I'm also using Jabra BT 800 and it's working fine with me till now.
I believe it's the best blue tooth head set we can ever use with universal.
Regards,
Unfortunately, I couldn't get a Jabra this afternoon, so I got a Bluetrek G2, and that works fine with it. So long as I can be handsfree in the car and do voice-dialling, I'm happy!
OK, I've never used BT but am thinking about getting a BT hands-free kit, possibly the Parrot CK3100

Will this product work with an MDA Pro as a speakerphone through the car speakers? What about for playing MP3 files? Mono or stereo?
Also, if I later retire my old XDA 1 from TomTom duties and get a BT GPS unit for the MDA Pro, will it work at the same time as the BT parrot CK3100?
Also, I assume the CK100 is powered by the car: how do you cope with powering GPS and Universal devices? Run off the battery or multiple cigar lighter attachments?
This can help you take the right decision

Sounds like an expensive way of getting tinny sounds through a small speaker to me. I already have bought TomTom 5 and use it on my old XDA 1 with a wired GPS unit. What I want is to use my MDA Pro as an mp3 player and telephone through the car speakers and expect one day to get a BT GPS unit and use the Pro for Tomtom instead of the XDA 1, but I'm just wondering about the feasibility of such an idea.
What I have is a similar set up but I guess it should work for you.
I am currently running my Universal with a BT headset and a BT GPS receiver. I use the headset to hear all the commands for turning by the navigation software and so far it works great.
That's great, Vapor, thanks. I'll see if a vendor can help with compatibility then.
I have o2 MiniS paired with a Parrot CK3100. It works fine. The quality of the sound is very good as it uses the car system.
The Parrot can be set up to sync with up to 5 separate bluetooth devices. If you want GPS there is the Parrot LS3400 GPS which does everything.
I have not tried it playing MP3.
The fixing costs are exorbitant and the unit can be bought for around £100 (less for 3100) and fit it yourself it is very simple. Just two link cables for speakers and power plus install dashboard unit and microphone.

Vapor, I use a Qtek 2020 (Himalaya) with a wired GPS and a Midland BT Intercom. I get the sound from the phone, no problem, but I cannot receive any sound from the Tom Tom Navigator 5. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Javiersen
well I am not too sure about the other set ups but what i did to my universal was to disable the voice command from launching when i pressed the button on my headset. there's a reg hack for it somewhere on this forum about it.
once the buttonn is pressed, it opens the audio gateway (though in mono) between my phone and the headset and every sound from the phone (including the clicks) gets played to the headset.
Is there some incompatibility when it comes to Bluetooth and calls?
I've had 3 different carkits in the meantime:
Nokia Bluetooth Carkit CK-1W
Volkswagen RNS 300 (Builtin Carkit)
Toyota TNS510 (Builtin Carkit)
Both the Nokia and Toyota carkit don't seem to work flawlessly with my Elfin. On the Nokia carkit the volume of both the other end and the recording of my voice are very low, resulting in almost being unable to have a conversation.
Surprisingly enough, the VW RNS 300 carkit did work correctly and I could have normal phonecalls.
Now with the Toyota TNS510 which came with my new car I got one week ago, I can hear the other end perfectly. However, the person whom I'm calling, doesn't hear anything.
Is there someone else who has this experience? Perhaps there is some advanced setting/tweak I need to set? Had a look at the tool Advanced Config and tried something once, but I simply have no idea.
Are you using a cooked or stock ROM?
Currently I'm using a cooked ROM; Onyx 5.
Hi All,
I used to have a Nokia N95 and it worked really well with my bluetooth stereo headset. Upgraded to an HTC HD2 and despite pairing the headset and setting to auto connect and pair as a stereo headset and handsfree it just simply does not work anywhere near as well as my old N95:
- Sound quality is poor
- Controls on the headset itself work erratically at best and not at all at worst
I'm running ROM v 1.43.110.2 and Manila v 2.5.19292525, I'm not sure if this has any impact. I can't update through the HTC website as my phone is on T-Mobile - but don't get me started on that.
Has anyone any thoughts on why the support for bluetooth stereo headsets is so poor on my phone. Is it my phone/software or possibly my settings?
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
