About the bluetooth

Hello,
I wonder if the i-Mate Jam can make 2 bluetooth connections at se same time. I explain myself. I want to make a BT connection with my GPS and also with my BT Handsfree Car Kit.
If this is possible I can use the TomTom soft earing the indications trought the speakers of the car.

Yes it can, I use the TomTom Bluetooth GPS and the BT Jabra 200 headset at the same time with no problems.
I use the standard magician bluetooth stack, no tools or upgrades or anything.

I can confirm this. I tried it with a TomTom Bluetooth GPS and a Jabra BT-250. It worked with the standard bluetooth stack.

Best setup for using both a carkit and GPS Nvigation?!

I am soon to buy the Magician in one of it's many forms. However noe thing i have been woundering is how am i am going to achieve the in-car setup i desire. Basically I need both a carkit (conversation through car stereo speakers etc) and i also want to run GPS navigation on the Magician. First of all is this possible? What happens if i am using the GPS and i recieve a call? Also what hardware are people using to achieve this as i assume i can't use both a bluetooth carkit and a bluetooth GPS reciever?! any hlp is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi Tom,
I've got an iMate Jam & recently installed a Parrot BTluetooth CK3300 GPS Car Kit into my 1999 RAV4. The installation was pretty straight forward for cars with ISO connection, simply put in the mic, GPS ant & control display, plug into the car harness & HiFi & off you go. The GPS part of the kit is simply & effective, I use Tom Tom Navigator 5 & it's pretty faultless, obtaining a fix in seconds. Here's the bad part, the call quality through the kit using the Jam is AWFUL. Making and receiving calls is accompanied by a loud, high pitched warbling sound which eventually subsides, but is replaced by so much interference that the call is unworkable. I know it's not the kit because my wife's SE T68i works flawlessly. Everything else about the setup works perfectly (pairing muting, upgrading via BT etc etc). This a MAJOR problem which I have sent on to Parrot & am waiting for a reply. I understand they are pretty good at customer enquiries and expect them to come back to me pretty soon. I'll post again when I hear something. Despite all the bad press the Jam gets I think it's the best one I've owned so far (I'm on my 5th) and with the right software is excellent, but the choice of car kit is essential, until these problems are ironed out I wouldn't recommend using the PDA with a BT carkit.

Apart from the poor audio, how does it work when you are being navigated by TomTom and you receive a call? Does TomTom stop talking to you? Does the display show who's calling and then go back to tomtom display etc?

Hi there,
I have a MDA compact with now the QTEK 1.12 ROM, I have a bluetooth GPS Fortuna Clip-on and a Mr Handsfree Genius Bluetooth Carkit and I love it.
As soon as I start my car, there is a bluetooth connection to the carkit and the sound quality is excellent. You can make a call without getting the MDA out of your pocket, just push the button. The only issue is voice dialing, but that is a common problem for the MDA.
Also it makes a bluetooth connection to the GPS and Tomtom works fine. The only minus is that Tomtom doesn't use the carkit speaker, but, since the speaker of the MDA is loud enough, that is no issue. There is no supply with this bluetooth carkit, so I bought a 12 --> 5 Volt converter for the MDA.
I really love this combination. The best thing, that happened to me.

so it is possible then to have two bluetooth connections running at the same time? ie. i can use a bluetooth GPS reciever such as the one that is supplied with tom tom and also use any bluetooth carkit at the same time? and this will not cause any problems even if i am making a call and have the GPS running?! If so then i will probably just buy the Tom Tom 5 bluetooth kit and get something like a parrot CK3000? would this setup work?
thanks for everyones help,
Tom

It should work. Mine does. See above. Bluetooth GPS uses a serial profile, bluetooth headset uses a headset profile. No problem to use them both at the same time.

I used my Jam as phone, mp3 player and GPS all at the same time.
1. MP3 thru my car's aux input
2. GPS thru aux input:
hardware: Tomtom BT receiver
Software: Routis 2, TomTom USA 2004 (can open both if U use GPSGate)
3. Phone thru BT headset or aux input
To answer yr question:
Since I can use both BT GPS and BT headset together. I don't think it's a problem for both BT carkit and BT GPS to works.
Phone call always get highest prioity, all other apps (GPS software, mp3 player) will be mute until U finished yr call.
Phone call is not a problem (see above) but dialing is a big trouble since no voice calling built-in. Third partner software like intellidialer and voice commander (from MS or Cyberon) helps a bit

Ive also got my jam working fine incar. I use a socket bluetooth gps unit http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=119717 with tomtom 5 then I have a SE HBH-600 Akono Bluetooth Headset for calls both work together! When I have a incoming call it mutes tomtom and displays the normal caller id app on top, answering the call (via the green hardware button) results in my jam going to the phone app totally and leaving tomtom minimized in the background. As soon as the call ends tomtom jumps back to the foreground, it all works very well in my opinion. Ive also assigned the camera button to switch me back to the today screen so I can launch any app (with tomtom still running in the background) via a icon.

TyTN and bluetooth carkit

Hi to all.
Have any of You experience with connecting TyTN to more sophisticated bt carkit. Mine connects perfectly to my simple motorola carkit but does not want to connect to Parrot 3100 at all.

Hi varden,
There are some issues with tytn an parrot CK connection. As it is discussed on this thread, Parrot is aware of the problem and say they are waiting for a tytn unit to test it and solve the problems.

Do You know of any other working carkit with an LCD and contacts importing?

My Audi BT carkit doesn't work with the TyTN,
It connects and stays connected for about 5 minutes, then it randomly disconnects and reconnects and sometimes just disables the BT on the TyTN :evil:

I have no troubles using my Lexus car kit for making calls, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to transfer contacts from the TyTN to the car address book

Just tried my Orange SPV M3100 with my Audi A4 BT carkit, and it all appears to work fine so far.
To the Lexus guy, most in built car kits I have come accross have the ability to read the contacts off the SIM card. As this is a standard format, car manufactureres don't have to worry about accessing contacts from Symbian, Windows Mobile, Nokia etc etc etc. With my Audi, the first time it connects via Bluetooth, it reads all the contacts from the SIM card. (Note: if you already have a Bluetooth connection created, you will have to delete it and then re-create it to initiate the SIM download bit).
This maybe different on your Lexus, but the mechanism should be explained in your manuals somewhere. If not, Lexus dealers are reknowed for being very helpful, why not try them!

CK 3000?
Does anyone have any experience with the TyTN and the simpler CK 3000 kit?

I use my TyTN with a sony ericsson bluetooth car-kit. It works perfect at the moment. I didn't use it much yet, but it works very well. the TyTN connects much faster then my previous Eten M600

Does anybody have the Tytn work with a Lexus Bluetooth carkit?
If yes - is the phonebook transferred to the carkit?
Thank you

TyTN with Parrot RNB
Hello together,
I'm using the MDA Vario II together with a Parrot RNB. Paring, connecting and phone-book synchronising is working quite well. But I have problems with phoning. While synchronising I can't make a call. When I try I don't hear anything (no ring tone and no speech) and my MDA disconnects after some seconds.
After synchronising the phone handling is quite good. I can reach and make calls either with the RNB or with my MDA and the sound quality of my phone partner is very good. The big problem is, that my speech is muted every two seconds for about one second. So my partner has big problems to understand me.
On the RNB I have the latest firmware, which is about one year old and on my MDA I have the ROM Version: 1.21.111.3 and the Radio Version: 1.05.02.00
Does anyone have some hints for me to solve the problems?
Greetings Pudl

Phonebook transfer to Lexus now works
Finally managed to send contacts over to my LS430 from my Hermes (Cingular 8525).
How you ask?
WM6!
It has an updated bluetooth stack that now interoperates properly.
Finally.

@Mandingo,
How did you achieve this, i just picked up my RX350 and i already have WM6 on my Hermes, but i can only send 1 contact at a time to the car, and it's becoming painful, i wish there was some way i could select all contacts and then send via bluetooth?

if you go to http://www.jetwaremobile.com/ you can download their cab file, then install it and you can push all the contacts over in 1 go.

I have a BMW with bluetooth phone kit (official BMW!) and i couldn't use it with me Symbian phone... Now i have a TyTN and all works great

I stopped using sync on my TyTN with my CK3300. Instead I exported all my contacts from Outlook with the Parrot App, and pushed them over bluetooth to the kit.
You need to select the SonyEricsson K800 NO SYNC when pairing the TyTN so it doesn't sync. The advantages with this is that you can use the dual keyword (name then home/work/mobile) instead of the default sync that just puts all numbers in one long list.

Parrot CK3000
I am using a TyTn with a simply Parrot 3000. It works well. If you have a problem with it, reset the Parrot.

Trouble on Hermes 200 (SFR1605), BT headset and BT359 GPS receiver.

Hi all,
I just bought a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 stereo headset, which worked very well in the shop (handsfree functions and music from WMP).
I use Tomtom V6 and a Globalsat BT359W receiver. Tomtom works very well with the BT359 and the original Tytn headset. The SE HBH-DS970 works very (very) well alone, but when I want to use Tomtom, SE HBH-DS970 and BT359 all together I got a sound chopped and unusable, even from WMP. If I power off (for tests purpose) the BT359, the sound goes back very well. I make a lot of tests: remove BT headset and coupling back, remove BT359 and coupling again, soft reset... and sometimes, it works perfectly. Yesterday I reinstalled Tomtom from scratch and it ran OK, I started more than 10 times and it worked, I believed the trouble was fixed, but this morning, after powering on the device, it was back. I am unable to find how it becomes working because it seems to be aleatory.
Does somebody know this trouble ? Could somebody help me to fix this trouble ?
Thank you very much.

I have the same problem with Garmin Mobile 10 GPS and R35 bluetooth clip. As soon as I start using GPS I my sound through R35 gets choppy. Is it about how the bluetooth stack is implemented in the Hermes?

Click to expand...

I don't know, it seems that what we hear in the headset is the polling of the GPS receiver. It could be from the MS BT stack or from the BT driver in Tomtom (or Garmin), but I am not enough expert in PPC to diagnose properly. I am impatient to be able to install Widcomm stack on my Tytn, but it is not ready.

Connecting to my BT car

Hi,
I have a Touch 2 and I am having troubles conneting it to my Volvo BT carkit.
With my S730 evrything worked fine.
Now the phone paires with the car and syncs the adressbook, but when I initiate a call from the car or the phone, the carkit just doesnt know he is in a call and does not mute the radio. I don't hear any sound through the speakers at all, but the phone thinks it is connected to the carkit and is in handsfree. Pretty anoying as you can imagine.
I upgraded the car's BT stack to the latest version 04.23_R but with no result. Disabling the data connection worked for some people but not for me.
Do you guy's have any registry hacks or procedures I could try?
The old phone worked great so there at least should be some backwards compatibility.
Thanks,
Jan
