Bluetooth with car stereo

I'm having troubles getting my car stereo to work with my wizard. When I get an incomming call, most of the time it doesn't let the stereo know. It also seems to only send the bluetooth signal for a couple seconds, then off for a couple seconds. My rom doesn't have A2DP, do I need this or what's the deal. TIA

Try this file. I got it from this forum. I don't know what it does but it works for me. I have a Motorola BT car kit and i was having the same problem. Take off the .txt, put in \Windows\StartUp and soft reset.

On startup it just opens the text file in word. Is it supposed to do that?

that is why you take off the .txt part so it should be just exe at the end!!! Just read what was said!!! duh

Ok, so it did that but it didn't seem to fix it. I'm using molski's 2.26.10.2 rom. Anyone have any other ideas/ thanks

What stereo are you using? I just installed a Sony MEX-BT5000 in my car last weekend, and it works fine (at least in handsfree mode -- haven't tested A2DP yet) with my Wizard with the Qtek 2.17.7.2 ROM and the Tornado A2DP fix.

I have a pyle deck. The wierdest thing is that it sees the phone sometimes and not others. And the phone sees the deck as handsfree but won't use it.

Anyone know ???

So i was playing around with this supid thing today trying to get it work and i figured out that it will work...but every time i have to press "turn handsfree on". But my stereo still doesn't reconize when it's ringing. So i guess the problem is that my wizard won't remember to leave the handsfree on, is there an always on anywhere? Please help me

look around in the xizzard upgrading part of the forum..somewhere on the first 3 pages of threads theres one labeled somthing like " how to keep Bluetooth, GPRS, WiFi enabled while in standby" see what that has to say about it because it sounds to me like what i was going trough with one of my BT headsets when my 8125 would go into the standby mode

Tried that, it didn't fix anything

Bluetooth pairing problems on Infiniti/Nissan

Has anyone had any problems pairing their X1 with any Nissan or Inifniti cars? There seem to be some mumblings on the web about their cars and WM6 devices and I've had no luck getting it to work on my '08 G35. Thanks.

bluetooth pairing
i just checked the aproved phone list for your g35 and the x1 is not aproved by infiniti. only certain phones will link to our cars others will not

I have an 08 G35 and have no prob. pairing it with my car. How are you pairing this up with the car?

it also depend if you both have navagation or not

I don't have the navigation so I just click the phone button, tell it I want to pair a new device, and have my X1 start searching. At least now I know it can be done. Thanks for the reply

Well... I do have the navigation. So maybe the pairing process is a little different. But it should work though, it even allows me to download the whole phonebook into the car. Something my other phones in the past did not allow me.

Managed to solve this now.
Of course both Merc & SE didn't have any good solutions.... so had to continue googling & XDA-ing... This is what I did:
i.) Jetware, as I posted earlier has been removed.
ii.) I still had the SAP Profile addition downloaded from one of the forums in XDA on.
iii.) Change Registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Sys\COD
the default is 5898764 (Decimal) which is "Telephone (Smartphone)" which you would think would work. Changed to 5374476 (Decimal) which is a normal phone.
iv.) Restarted the phone.
v.) Started the pairing process from the car - failed as per before.
vi.) Started the pairing from the phone, and they work!!
Now, they pair automatically as how they would before....

this is how i got mine working with my pioneer deck.
here's the link to the SAP Profile he was talking about.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=997872&postcount=166
hope this works for you.

which PIoneer do you have?
I have the DEH-P5900IB and a BT adapter, and i can't get my X1 connect.
All my previous phones worked fine.
it looks like the X1 won't let me pair without passcode, and the radio says Error.
Do you mind explaining exactly how you did it?
Thanks

i have the DEH-790BT.
what i did was after i changed what i mentioned above, then i set my deck to be able to be noticed by other bluetooth devices, then added it through my X1. After I added it through my phone it said successfully connected on my deck and the phone displayed it connected as wireless stereo and hands free. now the only weird thing was it was trying to connect as both the wireless stereo and hands free which seemed to mess with the deck, so I had to turn off my ignition and turn my car back on for it to actually recognize the connection fully. oh and the passcode if you connect through the deck to phone like I did it should be default '0000' but i would check your manual just to be safe, and if your connecting through your phone to the deck (which i haven't tested so I don't know if it works) you can pick your own passcode, which i suggest just making 0000 or nothing.

I have a problem also with my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)
I can pair with my Nissan Qashqai carkit but soun dis very bad, and the caller on the otherside doesn;t hear anything.
Strangly, but try, when during a call i switch from carkit to phone and back (using the options in my carkit/buttons on stearing wheel) everything is fine!
Checking the internet learned me that this is related to the bluetooth stack (or settings) in WM6.1 (and 6.5 also)
So does anybody have any idea how to solve this, maybe by registry changes or maybe by even "downgrading" the Bluetoorh stack to 6.0 or maybe even 5.x.
Maybe it is also possible to replace the complete MS stack for an other stack?

Bluetooth bug.

When I connect to the car stereo, I set it to phone only, not media and it works fine, ouputting the sat nav voice via the phone. When I reconnect, it again connects both phone and media. It's driving me mad, any ideas?

I connect to my Parrot MKI9200 car kit and have no issues like this, it always connects for phone and voice from CoPilot comes out of the phone. I haven't changed any settings

That's interesting - does the parrot support music streaming? Could you check the settings of the connection please? If you tap and hold where it says Parrot, it shows which services are connected.

Just checked... The only part that is ticked is phone. Media is not ticked. As I don't stream media from my phone to my car kit, I don't want this ticked. If I tick the box, CoPilot alerts actually come out of the car speakers.

Yours works the way I want mine to. For some reason though, even if I turn off media, the next time it connects it will connect both media and phone. Weird.
Again, thanks for your help. I'd really like to find a solution to this, it's really annoying.
One thought - is yours a sim free one, T-Mobile or Orange? Mine is T-Mobile.

Mines sim free. What Car Kit do you have? Might be something to do with that?

It's an Alpine 400bt, which is an add-on unit for Alpine stereo's, in my case a 9887r. The bluetooth unit is actually made by Parrot I believe.
It could be something to do with it, however it used to be OK using Windows Mobile.

another bluetooth question
I see you guys mentioning some bluetooth settings in the posts above - where are they found?
I have a problem that once connected to my car phone system by BT, the keypad in the car stops working which means I can't respond to voicemail etc. My other phone is a Touch HD which works fine.
Are there settings to select different profiles like you can with Win Mo?
I'm new to Android and all I can find are the HTC settings under Settings\Wireless Controls\Bluetooth Settings but these don't help
Thanks in advance
Edit: just reread and see I need to tap and hold the connection, so I'll try this later...

Bluetooth and car hands free

Cant get it working, paired but not connected...any ideas anyone ? driving me nuts
Bury Take and talk universal bluetooth cradle

Thanks for all your help (sarcasm)
Done some digging and the phone sees the car kit as headphones, any idea how to change bluetooth profiles on the hero?

Not sure how to help you but just to let you know that it's possible: it worked out of the box on my car - both as phone and as music player.

I''m not sure you can. The car kit is obviously not providing the hero with the correct bluetooth type id so that it can load the correct profile. I think I remember this on older Nokia phones as well. I have a Nokia car kit and the hero works great (except that I have to manually connect it each time!)
Sorry can't be more help.

Hands free manual just says change profile on phone, not giving in just yet, have connected six different phones to this kit with no problems,
Surely must be able to change profile on a brand spanking new phone, swapping the sim into my old htc prophet for the next two years is not going to be fun!

Bluetooth connection to carkit -> phonebook does not sync

I can connect the HD2 to my new MINI with bluetooth carkit fine via headset profile.
However, the phonebook does not sync with the car.
Ir worked fine with the HD with the Microsoft bluetooth-stack.
Is there any solution for that?

With TouchHD i did sync Phonebook to my nissan car without problems (winmobile 6.1)
I think this program will work on HD2 also (winmobile 6.5)

No, that does not help.
With this app you can only send contacts and so on to another device.
But here, everytime you connect the device via bluetooth with the car, the car should read the contacts from the phone.
That worked without problems with the microsoft-stack.

I am having a similar issue, paired phone with Mercedes HFP and first time contacts came across. Next time back in the car and it reconnects, the contact memory is empty? Can still make and receive calls but no contacts. If I re-pair the phone by resetting HFP in car then contacts come across? Software issue on phone or car kit driver issue? Previously had HTC S710 and had no problems. Very annoying so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Same here - I even ca`nnot get the car be paired with HD2 - why ?

Hello,
here is my issue with the BT connection: I have a Pioneer F900BT unit in my car. With my previous Nokia E66 everything worked just fine.
Now, when connecting with HD2, connection works ok, phonebook is downloaded ok, BUT: when there is a call, the music in the car is not silenced automatically; what's worse, it seems the phone doesn't send any call identification to the headunit, since all the history (outgoing, incoming calls) is empty. So, I cannot redial or see who's calling me.
I did try the fix in the registry described on another thread (setting HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\sys\COD=5374476, but it doesn't help.
Any idea?
Thank you.

It works perfectly with my Mercedes Command with Bluetooth Adapter, it does not transfer all of my 800 contacts because it use to make a new entry for each tel. number (Home / Works, etc.) therefore it says "memory full" at about 75% but I can understand. At least I can call/recognize up to the "S" beginning contacts.
Anyhow, since I used to have this problem in the past, you could try Jetware, it worked for me with my Cruise.

To follow up, I have found that its the pin lock (mentioned in another thread) that is causing the problem. If you unlock your phone before you pair up then contacts are coming across every time. May not work for everyone if their problem is different but has for me so wanted to share. If anyone knows how to bypass security issue with paired device I would like to know but as a workaround its better than no contacts!

I have this problem with my BMW iDrive too. No problems getting the address data on the HD but not working for me on the HD2. Can pair and make calls though. Any solution?

phonebook does not sync
I have a BMW with the bluetooth feature. From what I have noticed there is a connection started to the phonebook and it starts sending (and receving some) information but after about 110k it stoppes and the phonebook is disconnected. I would be happy to assist in any further analysis if anybody has any ideas.
I have no problem making and receiving calls in through this setup, but, as stated, the connection to the phonebook is not possbile. This was previously possible throgh the HD

read my previous reply, its because your phone is locked whn it connects. If you unlock it before you pair up it should work.

OK. I tried to just unlock it, but this did not work. I will try to unpair, then unlock and then pair again, and see if this then works.

Well, unfortunately it did not work. I unpaired the phone from the carkit, then removed the pin on the phone, did a soft reset, paired the phone with the carkit and saw that it started communicating with the phone book, but the communication stopped after about 110kb, as it usually does, and the phonebook was then disconnected.
Any ideas anyone?

Same issue
I'm facing the same issue... New Mercedes, phone calls are no problem but phonebook is not accessible... I doubt that it's a lock issue... When I paired it it also didn't work but there it was certainly unlocked...
