FM Radio - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

I am hoping someone can point me in the direction of a set of headphones with built in FM Radio that I can connect to my XDA 2i.
I have scoured the internet in vain to find a product that will work with this phone....but nothing so far. There are looads that work with Nokias, Motorolas, etc...but have not been sucessful in finding one for this phone.
Any ideas appreciated.

Imate Jas Jam and Nokia Car Kit Problems

Hi,
I've just been reading for the last 4 hours, searching for a solution to my problem of the Hermes not working with my bluetooth nokia car kit.
Specifically, I'm getting serious breakup in areas with perfect reception.
People on the other end of the connection are hearing serious ghosting of their and my voice. Other times, the phone is crystal clear.
The phone doesn't seem to be losing sync and has always paired as soon as I get in the car and turn it on.
I bought this as a business tool and at the moment it isn't worth squat to me.
I have read as much as I can and implore someone to tell me if this issue can be fixed, and if so, point me in the direction of what I need to upgrade without all the acronyms. And yes I have read the wiki
Below are my spec on the unit.
Thanks in advance.
ROM; 1.31.305.2
Rom Date: 09/08/06
Radio Version: 1.38.30.10
Protocol: 32.71.7020.12h
Extrom: 1.31.305.106
Anyone have any thoughts?
i have the same problem with my dopod d810 and the nokia car kit. It connects fine over bluetooth and I can hear everyone else clearly, but no-one else can hear me properly - mainly the ghosting problems and static.
I've been looking at the following registry entries, but have not had any luck as yet..
HKCU\controlpanel|AudioAdvContrl
And as yet have had no luck...
I'll keep trying

Have you tried this software? it has additional support for the nokia HS-12W and a 30 day trial.
http://www.jetwaremobile.com
worked for my bmw x5 BT when nothing else would.
Other options would be to upgrade the radio to 1.40 and/or OS to one of the wm6 variants excluding black 3.0 and 3.1
i noticed big hands free improvements with the BT stack on wm6, to the point where I didn't need jetware anymore.
good luck!

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).

Is choppy quality your only problem? Are your symptoms different from ours in my earlier post?

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.

Ford Sony connecting to Wizard

Hi,

How do I pair my Wizard up. I can detect the radio and pair it, however the radio says no device detected...
Any ideas where to start?

Ford's probably using stereo bluetooth for its connection. You need to enable your phone with A2DP first, then do the pairing. I have had good luck with the Tornado version of A2DP for the Wizard, but only after I overclocked my phone's processor, and made some minor adjustments to the data rates at a registry level.
If you're a noob, you need to do a LOT of reading before trying this, or you'll lose your ability to generate sound altogether. Not as dramatic as bricking your phone, but makes it almost as useless...
Just search these boards, the answers are here. Search.
...and welcome to the XDA Dev boards!
Hi,
Thanks for the reply..was just starting to look at New phones!

Normally, this is where I say, "Start a new thread, for this new question, because nobody is going to open this thread to answer that question."
However, you've asked a question that usually results in the person asking being lambasted (read: flamed) for asking a question that is, in most cases, a matter of total opinion. As has been said many times before, about this subject:
What's best for you isn't what's best for (nearly) anyone else.
Click to expand...

So....that said, I recommend you look at the Wizard Mobile 6 boards, read the Wizard wiki THOROUGHLY, and know your phone very well before you even consider trying to load a cooked ROM, or you will have an expensive paperweight instead of an incredibly useful tool.
Whatever you do, please do not post a question like "What's the best ROM for me?" because only YOU can answer that question, and only after you educate yourself to what's possible, and what your specific needs are.
If you just want to sync your phone to your car, then stick with the A2DP upgrade, and an overclock (OMAPCLOCK via SmartsKey is my preferred method of overclocking). That's my advice, free of charge.
Could anyone help me find a A2DP upgrade. I have honestly hunted, but I am getting confused...
Tried Torbado A2DP without success. I run a 02 Mini S

Hi
I have got Stereo headset now showing, but its greyed out for the radio device?
Anyone got any ideas?

I would highly recommend looking at JETWare BT Extenstion. It adds a lot of functionality that MS left out of the BT stack.

Hi,
Got it working....
With other phones they were pairing automatically. If you search from the radio
Phone >menu then search, after a long wait it finally pairs...

Hello,
Firstly, I have found lots of tips and information from this great forum. I have changed three phones and you guys have made my mobile life great.
I need some help in regards to Listening online radio on my Windows MOBILE.
I'm trying to listen to the following radio station:
http://sagem.vtuner.com/pls/pls9723.asx
or
mms://193.218.160.20/sunrise
Both the above links are for the same Radio Station. This is a radio station from LONDON. I have tried other radio station and they seem to work fine on my mobile. E.g BBC and NPR
For some reason, this one doesnt seem to work on my mobile and only works on PC. I have tried softwares like Resco Radio, Pocket Music and SPB Radio. All these softwares have been not much help.
I really dont know what else to do so I request the help of XDA members to settle this issue for me.
I request everyone to voice their opionons. I will appreciate all the advice I can get.

Touch Pro2 + Conver to car mp3z ?

Alright Ive been searching but i can find if anyone has ever done this,
use the mp3z on the TouchPro2 and connect to the radio VIA like the Ipods transmitters adaptors ?
My 2004 Maxima wasnt equiped with mp3z player cd changer, only the 2007.
Ive been searching to see if I could do this with the touchpro2.
there has to be a way cause I really refuse to purchase anything Apple.
What worst is my CD changer now is stuck , (go figure my luck)
Radio is a bit getting played out , any ideas or is it not possiable to utilize the mp3z to transmit to the car radio ?
If I understand correctly you can get an FM modulator that will send your mp3's on your TP2 to a specific channel on the radio. I have a monster one from EBay that is digital and only paid 19bux for. Any electronics store should have it.
One further complication will be that you will have to get an adapter to go from usb to 3.5 unless you have the CDMA version. I use a headphone adapter and a charge unit all in one so the phone stays charged on long trips.

Check out THIS thread. It's in an iPhone/iPod forum, but the 4th post mentions that there's some adapter that will serve as an RCA stereo input to your radio, as long as you don't have the factory satellite radio option installed. If that's the case and you can get one of those adapters, you'll just need a 3.5mm-RCA adapter, available on ebay or at any radio shack. The FM transmitter/modulator options InRBigness mentions will certainly work as well, and are a bit easier to deploy, but this would give you better sound quality as a rule.
I cant post a link cause I'm a n00b so go to Ebay and type this in the search area, "Car FM Transmitter for HTC Tilt 2" I gots me one a month ago and it works great!!!!!
