Is their a way, through the registry or elsewhere (short of re-pairing) to enable two bluetooth headsets and then switch between which one is the headset profile for the XDA II? I have the Parrot CK3000 bluetooth handsfree kit in my car which, after the recent software release, is working great. However, it's hard to take with you when you leave the car. I would basically like to pair to both it and my SE HBH-65 headset and be able to switch between the two as the active headset when I am in or out of the car. Ideally, a small program I can run from the Today screen would be best.
Any help?

Hi guys,
Basically i want to have a handsfree bluetooth to talk on the phone that also works as a Wireless Stereo.
Do they exist?
Little help would be appreciated.
yes they do; i'm not sure about other brands but i use an i-tech clip stereo headset that acts as handsfree and wireless headphones. it has 2 earphones; the other can be unplugged when you want to use it simply as handsfree.

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.
I have a HTC P3600 (Trinity) PDA telephone with WM5 installed on it. I use it with the Philips SHB7102 Bluetooth Stereo Headset. When I pair the Philips SHB7102 Bluetooth Stereo Headset with my PDA it connects. When I walk away from the PDA for more than 10 metres and than walk back, I have to redo the whole pairing again from the beginning. The strange thing is that when I walk back the telephone function is normally working through my Philips SHB7102 Bluetooth Stereo Headset (it recoqnize my bluetooth headset) but the Wireless Stereo function (musicplayer software on my PDA) doesn't Recognize my bluetooth headset. So for this I have to do the whole repairing process again. If I turn off the bluetooth headset and then turn it on again I also have to do the whole repairing process again. The manual says that the pairing process is a one time process. This is only true for the telephone function but not for the music listening function.
I also tried the HTC P3600 with the Plantronics Pulsar 260 Bluetooth Stereo Headset and then this problem didn't occur. With the Plantronics the pairing is a one time action, but the sound quality is far less good as the Philips.
Does anyone has the same problem or knows how to fix this.
I have a Nike and also got a Jabra BT3030 bluetooth headset and a Freecom keychain GPS.
When the GPS is connected and I turn on the headset, the GPS drops out, is there a way to have them both running together?
Thanks

I use a Dual too, and in my car I have:
Parrot hands-free (BT)
GPS receiver (BT)
Each time I enter my car, the parrot detects and connects to dual, and the GPS conects either.
Even when I am in call the gps continue to refresh without problems
It works with my other bluetooth head set but this jabra one is a stereo headset with hands free.
