MDA Compact (MDAc) and BMW Bluetooth Module (SA633)

Hi
I just got my new BMW 330 (E90) with Navigation and Bluetooth. I can pair my MDAc but that's it.
When a call comes in, My BMW signals it. Sometimes I can get the call with the button in the steering wheel. Sometimes not. Sometimes I can but the connection breaks down in the middle of the call.
I see the reception of my MDAc in the display and when a call comes I also see the number of the caller.
I cannot make a call (dial out).
I read a lot but did not find a solution yet. Has anyone experience with BMW carkits or any advice what to change in order to get it going. I sort of refuse to have another handy...
BTW I have the latest T-Mobile Update (1.12) but I did not install everything from the extended ROM.

I have exactly the same problem with Audi bluetooth, with my Nokia 6230 works perfectly, with my S100 I have the same problems you have experienced. I have an old ROM 1.06, but I see that even with 1.12 the problems are not solved.
I tell what I tried: I've installed various BT stacks (Toshiba, Widcomm, Bluesoleil also with crack). Toshiba pairs but does not find any service, Widcomm does not run, Bluesoleil does not have the needed profiles.
I have installed the CAB from VCABT project (see the thread in this forum), I can answer from the car I can call using the car voice command but I can't use the S100 buttons.
Hope that somebody could help us.

fdigianv, have you tried the new A2DP Stereo BT Tool to see if it works better with your Audi.
I just upgraded my JAM to 1.12 and have yet to try it with my Audi A6 4.2 2005 MMI BT System.
I'm tired of waiting for Audi to fix anything. It seems like the only fixes or upgrades they offer come in the form of a new car release.
I like you can call out from the Audi, but those on thger other end of the call complain about sound quality.
I'm getting ready to make a move to the new Treo MS Mobile device, or a smartphone that works better with my Audi.

I spoke to BMW this morning and they claim has more to do with the version of Bluetooth installed on the phone than BMW's implementation of Bluetooth.
BMW supports Bluetooth verson 2 and up.

MDA Vario, Co-Pilot & Bluetooth Car Kit Problem

Hi. I have a MDA Vario, ALK Co-Pilot with Bluetooth GPS & a Pama "Plug'n'Go 4" Bluetooth Car kit.
I can use the Vario and the Car Kit together with out a problem and I can use the Vario and the Sat Nav with out a problem, but I cannot use them both together. When you run the Co-Pilot software on the phone with the car kit paired it disconnects the car kit, then the car kit re-connects itself, then it disconnects etc.......
I have looked in the bluetooth pairng for the Car kit and their are no settings I can change, and the Co-Pilot software talks directly to the Bluetooth GPS receiver and thir are no settings that can be changed in that either. I am stuck. Co-Pilot say its the Car kit and Pama say it is the Sat Nav, and the guy in the T-Mobile shop says it could be the Windows Mobile 5.
Does anyone know if TomTom or any other Sat Nav vendor do a demo version for Windows Mobile 5. That way I can see if it is a Co-Pilot issue or not, I know people with Sat Nav systems but none of them are for Windows Mobile. I also know a couple of people who use bluetooth headsets but not car kits, I cannot get on with headsets, after about half an hour I want to throw it out of the car window. I have asked if I could borrow a car kit from the T-Mobile shop, but they said no!!
I downloaded and installed the latest rom from T-Mobile last night, it was only released on the 19/06/2006, but it did not fix any thing.
Regards
Andrew

Hi sysmanuk i have got copilot and vario and hve used it fine on a parrot 3100 i also used tomtom again no problems this was on the old tmobile rom not used it on new rom but it sounds like it is the pama device causing the problem can you upgrade its firmware if so try that

Hi ya,
I can confirm that i use tomtom, a parrot ck3000 and a holox bt-321 with no problems. They all stay paired.
I can either turn the BT on before i get in the car and thus just have the ck3000 pair, or i can have BT turned on paired up with the ck3000 then start Tomtom and have no issues. Or i can just start tomtom with turns the BT on and then this auto pairs with the GPS unit and the ck3000.
I hope this givess you some help in to finding out what is causing the issue.

I had this issue, using the T-mobile MDA Vario release rom, a Parrot ck3100 & tomtom5.21 with a bluetooth rikaline gps.
If both used together, the car kit would randomly disconnect bluetooth, and the gps would also randomly diconnect.
Used seperately they were fine.
I went back to using the Vario with the Parrot, and my old Ipaq for Tomtom/GPS.
I have now updated to the Mr Clean rom, and plan on retesting once I reload all the software.

Problems with BMW Bluetooth car kit

I've just got a Orange SPV M3100 and paired it with my BMW OEM bluetooth carkit, all goes fine and paired no problems.
It manages to connect to the phone and display contact details on the radio display and make calls.
But leaving it a couple of hours and coming back, the phone will not reconnect back to the car. I've tried resetting the phone without success.
The only way to get the connection back is to re-pair the devices.
I had a Imate Jamin before and it worked without a problem, connects every time.
Is anyone else experiencing problems with their carkits?
Do you think the problem is specific to the Orange ROM, would flashing it to a Imate or TyTN ROM help or resolve the problem?
Any advice would be greatly appricated.

Hi, I got a problem similar like yours...
I´m from Spain and I have an ´06 Opel Astra(Vauxhall in UK) with the BT handsfree carkit from factory.
If I make a hard reset to my Vodafone S200 (Orange SPV M600) and leave the machine with the factory settings it works fine with the carkit, but it recognice the carkit like a headset handsfree. But if i restore a back up with the TomTom 6 installed... wow, then start the problems... the handsfree conect with the S200 but after a few seconds the connection is over...
I don´t know if have you got some kind of navigation system, but in my case the problems starts when I install the TomTom... I´m sure it changes some drivers of the BT and this makes the don´t works propertly.
I don´t know what to do...

PArrot Car Kit
I have the same problem with Parrot Car Kit and I have the latest TYTYN ROM

2006 BMW 3-Series Bluetooth
My car doesn't have bluetooth, but I had a loaner car while my car was under the knife. The loaner car was a 2006 3-series w/ Bluetooth. The first pair was perfect, but after a few hours.. What a POS.
I have the latest ROM on my phone, and that didn't make a difference.

No issues on my 5 series, but I have one of the first ULF modules in mine.

From reading TyTN Bluetooth issues around the net and on this forum, it seems to be an issue with the TyTN having some kind of power save mode which turns the bluetooth off after some time.
Kinda stupid, anyone know some registry crack to turn any power saving off?

I have a Parrot CK3100 in a BMW and a brand new SPV M3100. All was working well with my M600 but as soon as I swapped the phone for the M3100 last week I've had problems as described by the OP. Bluetooth keeps switching itself off on the SPV. It works well enough to start with and then suddenly it disconnects. Re-pairing works and it's worth going to bluetooth settings and turning it back on again before you try re-pairing.
Surely there must be an easy fix for this problem - I'm just really pleased I'm not the only one with this fault.

............

Your all quite lucky it works at all..mine doesn't do anything
My Ford Fiesta has been waiting for an 'software upgrade' since October !!
Promised it would be available before Xmas but nothing happened.

lifterus said:
Try and replicate the problem with a different phone if possible. One that BMW supports. If can replicate it, then they'll update the firmware on the BT unit in the car. This happened to me. But I had to prove my case using my girlfriend's RAZR before they'd listen and stop blaming my phone as the cause.

I dont think it is a problem with the BMW carkit as it worked fine with my SPV M600 (Prophet)

Bluooth & Carkit (Mercedes)

[Q] handrsfree problem

Hi, my first post here.
Using my Iolite with pleasure for a while now. Spo, a friend, impressed by the device bought the same one. (same rom en windows version). Now:
My device worked imediatly with my Skoda BT and his Parrot CK3100 kit.
His device again works with my Skoda BT but refuses to work with his Parrot.
Parrot gets loaded as BTdevice but no phone book loading or connection.
How can it be with the same apparatus any clues welcome
