08 Altima Bluetooth

We just bought an '08 Altima with the bluetooth option. I can pair the XV6800 with no problem, but quality sucks. It is super choppy on my end and the person on the other end can't hear me at all. I tried my wifes XV6800, same thing. I can pair my old E815 and it works perfectly, so it's not the car. I tried a hard reset, no difference.
I tried loading dcd's clean rom 1.6.7, no difference. Is the BT stack upgraded in this rom?
Is there a newer BT stack out there that I could try?

Its worth downloading and trying the Jetware BT Extensions and see if that helps....but usually it does not change quality so much as enable functionality.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't help.

Developer help with Infiniti/Nissan Bluetooth?
I've got the exact same issue with an '07 Infiniti G35 w/navigation. I've been doing lots of reading on the xv6800's bluetooth, have tried DCD's and Custel's roms, and was just about to start my own thread, but I'll bet our cars are the same bluetooth/rom wise.
Jetware didn't help me either.
Here's the best fix I've found and it works for me consistently.
-Whence the option's available depending on whether you're dialing out or receiving, click the "use handset" button (transfers call to the xv6800).
-Shortly after press the "phone" button (transfers call back through car).
-Should work as expected after that.
Anyway, at this point I'm hoping one of the kind devs on this forum (DCD or Custel to name just two of many) might find a sec to help us out, although I'm aware and appreciate the fact that many other users are keeping them very busy on their own projects.
I'm assuming the xv6800's hardware would be most similar to other HTC pda phones (not sure what happens between GSM and CDMA devices), so here's a list of their phones who's bluetooth does work with my car (from here). It supports the bluetooth in 144 phones total.
Kaiser (wasn't working with stock rom, but works after this patch from HTC)
Hermes
Atlas
Wizard
Apache
Magician
Harrier
HTC pda phones that don't work with my car (at least not 100%).
Vogue
Elf
Titan
The Titan DOES work with an '07-'08 Infiniti G35 WITHOUT navigation (buy more, get less ).
In addition to the stock Verizon rom I've tried DCD's 1.6.1, 1.6.7, and Custel's 1.1 with no change in the symptoms.
It's my understanding the dev community thinks modding the Vogue's bluetooth for the Titan shows the most promise. I found this thread mentioning an alternative, but it seems to have gone stale on another forum. I'd prefer not to use that forum.
I understand the Vogue's bluetooth might show the most promise for general bluetooth applications (which would satisfy the most users), but becuase I plan to use bluetooth solely through this car, does anyone know if I might be able to go an easier route given the information I've provided?
I'm using radio 1.40.00, could 1.47.01 make a difference?
Can anything be learned through HTC's Kaiser update patch?
Are there any bluetooth alternatives being tested that I haven't found?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

OK. I tried what you said and confirm the same results on the '08 Altima. If I switch to handset and back to Bluetooth, the sound is clear (weird). The only problem is, I can't switch until a call is in progress. This is a work around, but not a good one. We need a BT stack that fixes this. Or maybe firmware upgrade from the auto manufacturer.

I know this is going to sounds like a cheap shot, but it sounds to me like something needs to be fixed on Nissan's side. I've tried mine in an Accura without any problem, however both of your stereos are manufactured by Nissan.
A word of advice: I always found that auto makers should stick to what they do- namely, make cars. If Nissan were so great at BT stereos, you'd see nissan headsets.
I never bother with factory Bluetooth anymore- I swapped my stereo right away for a decent Sony Xplod system that supports A2DP (wireless stereo) as well as phone calls. The aftermarket stereo not only sounds great, but I play all my music from my phone without taking it out of my pocket. Last I checked, no stock car stereos supported this. Sony is good at stereo and bluetooth (been around the block a few times).
Complain to Nissan. Or swap your stereo for something decent.

My Sprint 6700 with BigJ Rom works great with the 08 Altima. In the fact the audio quality is better than the Sanyo Katana that I also have paired. I am dispointed that I cannt answer calls from both phones on the car headset without first selecting the phone that has an incoming call. Even my At&T home phone with bluetooth can do that although it does require you to select a cellphone for outgoing calls.
I was able to upload a contact entry from my 6700 to the car Download phonebook. However, I can not get that into the more usable phonebook directory. Anyone succeed in doing that?

You might be in the wrong forum. The Titan is a 6800, not a 6700.

yes, but this thread is discussing the Altima BT stereo. Truthfully, this whole thread should go in a more general BT forum, since I don't think it pertains to the 6800 exactly.

08 altima bluetooth
Just wanted to say thanks to Park City for posting the name of the web site with the bluetooth extentions (jetwaremobile.com). I have just recently purchased an 08 Altima with the Nav system and bluetooth. I have an Tmobile MDA with a cooked ROM running WM6 and I could not get the entire outlook phone book to download to the car. Once I installed the jetware mobile extentions everything worked just fine. I even got some additional functionality I was not expecting like signal strengh and battery status on the nav srceen. As for voice quality, it's never been an issue for me. So far anyway

As I can see, they are currently testing the Mogul with both of your cars. I don't know what they mean by 'testing', but that's what is going on right now.

I saw that too, but I don't have a lot of confidence they'll be releasing a bluetooth update any time soon. That's why I was hoping the Titan's bluetooth hardware might be similar enough to the hardware in one of the devices that DO work with our cars (Kaiser, etc., list in my earlier post) that their bluetooth software could be ported "easily" to the Titan. I'm sure the devs here are trying to get the Titan's bluetooth to work as well as possible for everyone's devices, which makes sense. However, with California's new "handsfree driving" law starting July '08, I'm only concerned with getting the Titan to work with my car.
Apparently no one's too sure if that's possible.

1. have any of you verified first hand that the kaiser does in fact work?
2. could someone research and identify the bt hardware in the kaiser, and the titan?
3. has anyone run the kaiser bt fix on their titan and tried it?
i suppose i never thought to look at the kaiser's bt. mine still functions after applying that kaiser patch..
the kaiser patch is a replacement TIInit_4_2_38.bts file
this file did not exist in any titan roms prior to 2.16
2.16 introduced this file (i compared md5 and its not the same data)
2.17, htcs supposed 'fix', does NOT contain this file
all vogue roms i have seen DO contain this file, but again its different data
maybe you guys are on to something
i will throw something together tomorrow probably...drinking time.

dcd, thanks for the help, enjoy those drinks!
1. Not first hand, I'm going off this post. That thread's also why I believe the Kaiser wasn't working with the car before the patch.
2. I've spent a lot of time trying, but have come up empty on any detailed hardware specs.
3. I just ran the Kaiser patch and the bluetooth functions the same as it does without the patch.
I'm using a rom from your 1.6.7 kitchen with nothing else added (rom's working great, btw). I had the same issue with the stock Verizon rom.
Crazy thought, but if the cooked rom I'm using is based on a stock rom that didn't originally include the .bts file (2.17), could it be being ignored?

i take it they are completely different head units?

I have a 07 G35 WITH Navi and yes, the quality is choppy when I connect my phone to it. I have been just using my Platronics Discover 640 for the BT these days... It'd be nice if someone can come up with a solution for this...

They're pretty different. With nav you get a 10 gig hd it'll rip cd's to, the nav runs off that hd, the gui which controls much of the car is different, voice prompts are different, the available buttons are different (see attached pics), and you lose a cd changer. I do know first hand that w/o nav the bt works great with an XV6800 (got a loaner once). Again, I've been unable to find out what's specifically different hardware wise (even with the full service manual).

Once connected, I get a really static noise from my end while in the conversation. Of course, it'a really not usable at all....
I'm going to try the reconnecting method that was mentioned above today. I'll come back and report the outcome. And thanks for the help BTW.
EDIT: BTW, my Wizard (Cingy 8125), Hermes (Cingy 8525), Samsung i760, and few of the Moto handsets are all fine paired to my car. MAYBE, someone can get the BT stack from Hermes to work with the Titan?

well, peices of it maybe. i would blindly guess that the kaiser is closer to titan than hermes, but we need to exactly identify the bt chip in each. plus its still shady then, ie the kaiser has tnetw1251 for wlan same as the titan and I cannot get their newer wlan driver to work on my device.
what we really need to look at is previous bt stack modifications for other devices. i need a better understanding of tiinit_blah. I've also noticed that the devices that work have a more extensive, or a 2nd audiopara file that sets values for some bt devices. to be completely honest right now i dont know what im looking at and i need to figure out how it all fits together before i know where to start.

Well, I tried reconnect method from both phone and the car, but neither did anything at all. The quality is still crappy as heck. Man... I reallly wish this works.
EDIT: Actually my side of the speaker was complete static, and the other side could not hear what I was saying AT ALL. This efing blows.

Touch hd & Kenwood dnx 7200

hi all. just curious to know if anyone else has paired their hd with the above head unit? My previous vario3 had no problem connecting and neither does my old nokia 6630, but for some reason the hd just won't pair. Any and all advice appreciated. incidentally I've written all this on my newest toy, cool eh?

* Bump. Sorry, but i'd really like to get to the bottom of this!

It's okay, don't worry, I've done it now.

I guess you have the DNX7200 and KCA-BT200? Did you install the latest firmware on your DNX7200 device and on the KCA-BT200? (on the kenwood website of your country)
I've got the KVT-729DVD + KCA-BT200 and it works great.

Mine automatically pairs with my jvc kdbt22, turn the radio on and it it automatically pairs for both headset and wireless music and will automatically stream music if I select Bluetooth on the radio via the Touchflow player.

I am wondering what is different in my setup compared to yours. My HD pairs with my KVT-522DVD + KCA-BT200 alright. The phone book get loaded and I can browse contacts, but NOTHING happens when when I push the call button or pick up button on the 522DVD screen.... both units are FW updated to the latest versions.
Regards, Steffen

I used to use mine with my Pioneer FH-P80BT - worked perfectly fine
The only time I had the problem you mentioned (about receiving calls) was when I disabled the hardware buttons on my device using S2U2 or something similar (apparantly it affects the use of handsfree kits aswell!) - hope this helps...

Thanks zoomee, I think is has to do with the KCA-BT200 (the seperate BT box attached to the multimedia unit) and the capabilities of its FW. The Touch HD is not in the list of "approved" cellphones with tha latest FW, but the Touch Pro is and I would expect it to use the same protocol - maybe a bit optimistic

I know this is an older post but...
I was curious if any of you Kenwood users that have the option to SMS from your deck can use this feature with any HTC/windows mobile phone. My phone pairs with my H/U just fine (KVT-514) and does everything aside from SMS. The feature is grayed out. It's not like I will ever use it, but I would still like to make it work if I can.

SMS is grayed out on my 522DVD as well. I think you/we will have to wait until Kenwood release new updated FW with newer phones for the BT200 unit.

Bluetooth BMW and HTC HD2

Hi
I have a BMW X5 and a HTC HD2 with the newest ROM. When I enter the car, HD2 is recognised automatically by the car and I can place phonecalls dialing from my HD2. The only thing that does not work is that BMW tries to upload my phonebook from the phone but it does not get it. BMW says "please wait" - forever.
Before I flashed the ROM, this worked. Anyone has any ideas? I would even pay for someone in Zurich who comes and fixes this. One thing I could do of course is to downgrade my ROM again. But before I do this, I want to explore any other options.
Thanks a lot!
PS: jetwaremobile.com definately does NOT work on HD2

I have exactly the same issue. The HTC HD2 works ok for calls etc but the phone book upload is "please wait" forever. Very annoying. I have the standard up to date ROM and BMW X5 2009 model. Any help would be great.
Thanks

I have a 2008 BMW, and I did experience this the first time..I sat there waiting for a few mins adn then got bored...but after I had turned the car off, been away and come back..it transferred straightaway.
Funnily enough, when I had my iphone (yes..sorry) I had the little image of the phone next to the BT signal on the display. I don't get this straight away with the HD2, but it always eventually appears..and then stays there until I hard reset my phone and do a ROM upgrade and then start the pairing again..where I just get the BT signal...then randomly..a few weeks later, the phone image appears again....very odd

Works fine here with a BMW 5x from 2008.. Using miris 6.5.x ROM

Is your phone HD2? mine is Toshiba TG01..I have managed to make it work 50/50 of the times, but I do not know WHAT CHANGES are between it working and not working...it is very frustating to know (and experience it working) that it can/should work, but not being able to

I have a new HTC Mini HD and have the same problems with my 2009 BMW 3. BT Headset function works just fine, but iDrive keeps trying to sync the telephone book, unsuccesfull. Instead, my phone's battery gets drained. Anyone any sollutions?

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for your question, but it sounds like it might have something to do with the bluetooth stack used for that ROM/Radio not being recognized by the car. Perhaps the layer that deals with data transfer is removed. Sorry I can't be of more help here.
What I can do to help is to offer a warning. I am a former BMW Client Advisor, and have been told many, many times by service technicians that using phones which are not specifically approved by BMW can affect your car's ECU (brain) and if it needs to be repaired or replaced, it will not be covered under warranty. That could be just nonsense to force you into buying only phones which BMW has tested (or vendors have paid for a marketing fee), or it might be spot on, in which case you run a pretty big risk.
Hope this helps.

OK, problem solved. BMW updated my carsoftware to its newest version last week and now my HD2 works perfectly with my car (again). I can make calls AND my phonebook is synced as well.
Hint1: Try if your phonebook sync problem exists with the SIM contacts as well as with the phone contacts
Hint 2: worldwideweb.bmw.com/com/de/owners/navigation/bluetooth/compatibility_check_intro.html

Hi All,
I have a BMW X5 2005 model. I can pair the phone OK but it constantly disconnects and reconnects once the transfer of the phonebook occurs. The phonebook transfers always start from scratch when this happens and nothing gets loaded to the car's phonebook.
If a call comes in, or if I make a call while it is connected (like within 5 seconds) the phone stays connected for the duration of the call.
I have tried all the Regisrty tweaks and none change the behaviour.
I also read it is because the HD2 uses Widcomm BT stack and not the MS BT Stack.
Zippolly and a_petrov303 and all those that have it working, can you please tell me which Rom you are using? I am using the latest Energy's 6.5.x rom. i noticed someone mentioned Miri's 6.5.x Rom works.
Thanks,

I have a 07 E60. The HD2 pairs fine, synchs contacts fine, but the sound quality is so bad it's not useable. Of course bmw says it's not a compatible phone, but I think there is a problem with the car as my Diamond won't find it, even though it is supposed to be supported

its mainly due to the car bluetooth, BMW etc don't make the car kit mostly siemens do and they are slow on the uptake of doing updates.

anybody found a snap-in for the hd2 yet?
I have a 7-series F01 and it is really annoying to have to deal with that usb cable...

I had the BT problem too, deleting the profile and repairing the phone did the trick for me...

HD2 Widcomm bluetooth stack and AUDI's hands-free pairing

Hello everybody!
I been always having difficulties pairing HTC devices with my AUDI A6 (2005) hand-free using bluetooth (HTC Diamond, HD, and now HD2). The phones will pair but neither contacts or recent calls would appear in my car's display (MMI)
I used to solve the problem using a software extension for the bluetooth stack called JETWARE MOBILE, but HD2 uses WIDCOMM's bluetooth stack instead of Microsoft's one, and JETWARE software won't support it.
I've found a thread about pairing with a volvo hands-free where have been found a solution (changing WIDCOMM registry key "SupportedFeatures" and others)
Anyway it appears to be a volvo's specific solution so it doesn't work for my AUDI (I still can't get any contacts, recent calls, etc. transfered to my car using those)
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like Audi does not support the handsfree profile HD2 uses. What about using sap (sim access)?
The best way would be to ask your Audi Partner about a solution.
I bet they have an own SAP bluetooth device as i read that Audi uses Handsfree on default and SAP as an option for more money.
It is always a matter of the cars software and not of the HD or HD2.
I own the Mercedes CLC 2008 and i need to buy an extra utility (SAP bluetooth dongle SLR design) for more than 300 €.
Didnt do it till today but i got a new job and def. will buy it when i get the first money.
With SAP it will definately work - also confiremd by several forums i found via google.
BTW: The brother of my wife has a new Volvo V50 and he cant pair his Nokia phone with the cars system but my old HD as my new HD2 too can pair without any problem. I can shuffle through my contacts where he got the same issue as u - but with his nokia phone.

I'm not sure if you've updated the MMI software in your Audi. I had a older software version in my 05 A6 there are 2 disks that will get you to the latest version. I have flawless phone access now. It's like a ROM upgrade for the car.
You can read more about it at www.audiworld.com and check the C6 forum.

I doubt your dealer will fix it for you unless you are still in warranty and you are having an issue with it.
My dealer didn't want to touch it because like one of these phones if you mess up the upgrade you can brick it.
If you want to take a picture of the SW version and post it or send it to me I can tell you what you have.
Are you in the US?

I forgot to mention if you fry the MMI it is about $2,000 to fix. I was able to get the lastest software installed in about 2 hours.

I'm from Spain, little far away from US...
When I took my car to its last service (55.000 miles) they told me they were supposed to apply a software update (I was in a hurry so I told them to came back later... 8 months ago...).
May be that update will also apply to the MMI?
Anyway I'll take the picture and show you the SW version.

It's hard to say what they wanted to update, it could have been the ECU or MMI. I found that since I had an early model 05 my software was really out of date. Once I updated it the phonebook and connection worked so much better.

Audi usually supply the latest firmware as part of the navigation disk updates (they auto update when you first put them in).. this is the case for the older RNS-E's and probably the case for MMI too..

May be... but I don't have navigation in my MMI. I actually have the MMI Plus but the navigation module was too much for the value (Tomtom gives me the same except MMI integration for less than 1/10 of the price)
Thanks anyway

apologies to OP, this is slightly off topic...
Hi Dameon12,
I think this works only with the V3 SAP Mercedes module, and this works only with the newer MB audio units.
I have a 2006 Mercedes with Comand and the V2 SAP module, but no success as yet pairing with the HD2 - but I'm open to suggestions!
Thanks,
Eddie

Hello rsacipher
Could you please tell me if those pictures were what you ask me to take?
If I get out the software version to search for I might give it a try...
Thanks

Legend and bluetooth on BMW carkit (iDrive)?

Hi there,
I am planning to buy this very nice phone. However, I own a BMW 1 series (sept 2007) with a factory build in bluetooth carkit (BMW iDrive system) and I was wondering whether this phone will work without any troubles on this carkit. Maybe some of you are using a similar combination. Google and this forum don't give me much information, but maybe that's a good sign?
I hope you can help me!

Well it works on my 525 series yr 2009. Even the names gts displayed on the screen .

Ok thank you!
I think I will give it a try.

I used to have a HTC Blackstone that worked perfectly with my BMW serie 1 and I now switched to the HTC Legend... The phone's great but I had issues with my car...
First I tried connecting it to the carkit (had a long trip to do), it was a bit tricky, and didn't try phonecall...
Then someone called me, the carkit just rang and I couldn't talk in the implemented microphones, neither the speakers didn't link the sound ... I had to stop the car and answer directly on the phone.
Half an hour later, I was using the GPS, listening to the radio, the radio just stopped and then followed all the Idrive system !
It came back few minutes later, as i drove back home...
My car may have issues but I tend to think the phone isn't so innocent about all this...

I have a BMW Series3, and although I can make calls alright, I can see my phonebook, neither does it logs calls...
