Going to purchase a Parrot CK3300 (it includes the gps module), if i pair it with my mini s and run tomtom will the directions play through the carkit (car speakers or parrot speaker dosn't matter) or will they be played through the handset 'loudspeaker'?
No. It will play through the handset. This is a common request, but not supported. The CK3300 uses hands-free profile that is specifically for the phone.

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.
Hi,
I have TOMTOM installed on my M600 and also have an Erricson HCB-30 Bluetooth hansfree car kit. I want to know if i can get the TOMTOM directions to sound through the car kit rather than the phones speaker.
Any ideas??
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
Jonny
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.
Hello all,
Does anyone have a recommended bluetooth car kit which they have successfully used with the Magic? I'm talking about any of the "newer" generation of car kits, which sychronise your contacts on the car kit display...
Anyone?
I've got Parrot CK3000 Evolution and it does work with Magic, however, there are two problems with it:
1. Sometimes (more often than not) the phone is connecting to Parrot after 4-5 minutes, even if it is the only phone registered with the kit.
2. It is not possible to transfer phonebook to the kit, and even if I transfer it from laptop, then the kit still refuses to do voice dialing (built-in one, not on HTC).
Contact synchronysing works fine on my Peugeot 207, which has the parrot CK 4100 device.
But I have another problem, the sound isn't transfered to the car speaker despite the fact that all wheel-on-command are working....
any ideas...
I've got the same malfunctions with my CK4100 and my HTC Cruise. I'm testing with my Rhodium.
I've read about updating the BT CarKit (KC 20/KC21, sogt 4.8->5.1) to fix it...
Have you any new about that?
I have an Omnia II, and i run TomTom on it.
i want to purchase a carkit, but i want the voice directions to be played via the carkit on the speakers of my car. And when the spoken direction is finished, to switch back to whatever was playing (on my CAR stereo that is)
so i don't want to stream EVERYTHING of my phone... the music must be played on my car stereo, but when tomtom wants to speak, it should do that on the car speakers.
how can i get this to work, whick carkit do i need?
(i was looking at the Parrot Carkit MKi9100)
