bluetooth car kit

hi.. i hve a skoda, octavia 2, it has factory installed bluetooth car kit, i can easily connect my Herms , but it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting every few minutes, I tried to upgared to WM6 and its same, I cange my bluetooth control unit at Skoda , and its same. the car kit works fine on any other phones like Nokia or SE. the problem is only with HTC devices. any idea ?

not a single reply !!!

This is a common problem with the TyTn, there are plenty of other threads here with exactly the same problem. I have a Parrot C3000 Evolution car kit and am using a LVSW WM6 ROM (see sig) which works most of the time (better than other ROMs in my experience) - although I experience the following all the time;
Bluetooth turns itself off (on the TyTn)
Bluetooth is on, but the phone won't connect to the car kit
Connection to the car kit gets lost after making a call
Connection to the car kit gets lost when dialling a number
In most cases going to connection manager and turning bluetooth off then on usually works, sometimes (rarely) I have to soft reset the phone and once in a while I have to soft reset the phone and the car(!). When it does all connect it works very well, I also use MS Voice Command and with the various fixes applied I get announcements, voice dialing etc. all working perfectly.
My problems with bluetooth are limited to the car kit though, I also have a TomTom bluetooth GPS dongle which works perfect all the time.

thanks forza
thanks a lot, at least I don't feel lonley with my problem.

i found this, which works great with my car kit.
www.jetwaremobile.com it costs, but there is a 30 day trial to see if it will work with your car kit.

I have found that my 3200LS Color works great as long as I have unlocked my phone BEFORE turning ignition on. Have you updated your Parot firmware to latest version?

Anybody having problems with Parrot CK3100 handsfree?

Hi.
I am having problems with the mute and communication with a Parrot CK3100 handsfree. Either it doesn't mute the car music equipment nor receives the voice from the Niki, sometimes both sympthoms at the same time. Any idea about the reason?. I have upgraded the Parrot version to the latest one.
Thanks for the help.

There is know problem with Parrot handsfree and touch. I had a problem with htc touch dual and parrot MK6000. After contact with parrot support I got sollution. It works know. If you are stil looking for fix let me know I can search the link I got.
In short you doe following (remove first all pairings betwee your parrot and touch):
1. pair with some other bluethooth phone (I used nokia 6230).
2 disconnect first phone (shoot down bluethooth).
3. now pair with your touch.
Seems very rear but it works wel.

We have the CK3100 running the latest firmware.
The only problems we have had is the occasional ghost call when starting the car.
The kit will just say Call in progress, but nothing on the phone and it is not actually dialing.
A reboot of the phone fixes it.
I also have the same issue with My Kaiser witht he 3100 and the 3400 GPS in my car.

Same problem for me with parrot rytm'n blue
i'll try this solution...pairing with other model....

Thanks for the answers, will follow asmanm recomendations to see if it works and post results (fingers crossed...)

Hi.
IT WORKS with some restrictions!!
What I did:
1) I paired my old but reliable Nokia 6310i with the Parrot CK3100.
2) Switched off the Nokia BT.
3) Paired the HTC Dual and done.
Problems:
1) I got the ghost call when I enter into the car but after some minutes dissapears.
2) Sometimes gets crazy and hungs, mainly when I dial from the Parrot. If you dial from the phone, then no problems.
Hope it helps.

Hi .. I use the Dual with both CK3100 and LS3200. It works flawlessly. At first I had same issue with a ghost call just after connection: I solved it completely just activating the flag under [programs] --> SAP Settings.

problem with minikit
Hi all,
I have a problem with the dual touch and the parrot minikit.
- the connection between the two devices is ok
- when I'm called or I call someone, I hear very well my correspondants but they don't hear me, I have to use the mute mode and use my phone to continue the discussion.
I have already tested the solution purposed on this thread but it doesn't work aith my dual touch

same prob here
got touch dual w mk6100
it doesnt work pretty good.
the ghost call happens once in a while, but can be repaired w a call and hung. its fast.
sometimes i can hear some interferences when listening to music.
to make better calls i prefer to use the voice dialing from the dual. pressing the green button on remote control mk6100 starts the voice dialing in the dual. didnt try the mk6100 though.
it is very important the parrot disconect, i had some issues coz it didnt say "bye", pretty stupid but it is important.
i still have some issues w the 100ms stop music. (music stops every now and then for less than a second)
i gotta say they dont hear me pretty good. dont know why yet.
till searching on satparrot.com

I too am having trouble connecting with CK3100.
emailed HTC Australia who were less than helpful, with this :-
"Bluetooth should be universal or is marketed as universal although it is far
from the truth. Certain chipsets conflict or are incompatible with others. If a
device is not fully compatible it will not offer all features or possibly not
connect at all.
This is hardware related and not a software issue. This will not be effected by future update for the handset."
Parrot were more use, with this :-
"Hello sir ,
Indeed we notice several compatibility issues with ck3100 and htc touch dual
That's why we haven't listed this phone in our compatibilty list
Our technical engineers are currently on this issue inorder to find the solutions , when it be solved this phone will be listed at this adress below :
http://www.parrot.com/documents/en/support/ck3100_notes_new.txt
Moreover we have several feedbacks from our clients , who informed us that windows mobile 6 works better with ck 31OO software version
4.15
if you are intrested you can use 4.15 software version which is in enclosed mail"
Will try when I have time.

Parrot CK3100 working at last!

After many frustrating weeks of problems pairing my TYTN2 and Parrot3100 I have stumbled upon a fix that actually works (for me anyway).
After trying all of the usual fixes (upgrading firmware, running jetware, Bluetooth hotfix etc.)with no success at all, it seems that the way to go is to downgrade the parrot to version 4.15b of the CK3300. This is apparently quite safe as the only difference is that the 3300 has gps (however you flash at your own risk). See here, post #14 http://www.parrot.com/forums/english/viewtopic.php?id=5054.
Hope this helps, post any results to confirm that this was no fluke.

Parrot released 4.17a firmware. This finally helps my tytn working perfectly in combination with jetware. Even navigation instructions pass through my car's speakers when I press the call initiate button on my carkit.
Is the 3300's software working better?

I downgraded from the 3100 v4.17a to the 3300 v 4.15b and the only difference from my old phones is that the parrot no longer syncs the contacts. But that is no problem as I am running Voice Commander 1.6 anyway, which by the way is working perfectly now too.

I received the message below from Parrot today as I had an open ticket regarding the CK3100 and my Tilt. It will be the end of next week before I can do the update, as I will be on vacation starting tomorrow.
Hello,
Parrot has released new software for the CK3100 & the 3200LS that resolves the audio transfer issue with HTC touch screen phones. Please update your car kit to the latest version using our Parrot Software Update Tool & a Bluetooth enabled computer. Be sure to delete the car kit from your phone's Bluetooth settings after updating. You will need to re-pair your phone to the car kit. Failure to do so may result in erratic behavior.
Link for Update Tool & instructions:
http://www.parrot.com/usa/support/downloads

updated the firmware to 4.17a this afternoon. So far, so good, but my phantom dialing and random engagement of the mute switch were intermittent before. Will post again in a week or so if the problems don't materialize before then.

Touch hd & Kenwood dnx 7200

hi all. just curious to know if anyone else has paired their hd with the above head unit? My previous vario3 had no problem connecting and neither does my old nokia 6630, but for some reason the hd just won't pair. Any and all advice appreciated. incidentally I've written all this on my newest toy, cool eh?

* Bump. Sorry, but i'd really like to get to the bottom of this!

It's okay, don't worry, I've done it now.

I guess you have the DNX7200 and KCA-BT200? Did you install the latest firmware on your DNX7200 device and on the KCA-BT200? (on the kenwood website of your country)
I've got the KVT-729DVD + KCA-BT200 and it works great.

Mine automatically pairs with my jvc kdbt22, turn the radio on and it it automatically pairs for both headset and wireless music and will automatically stream music if I select Bluetooth on the radio via the Touchflow player.

I am wondering what is different in my setup compared to yours. My HD pairs with my KVT-522DVD + KCA-BT200 alright. The phone book get loaded and I can browse contacts, but NOTHING happens when when I push the call button or pick up button on the 522DVD screen.... both units are FW updated to the latest versions.
Regards, Steffen

I used to use mine with my Pioneer FH-P80BT - worked perfectly fine
The only time I had the problem you mentioned (about receiving calls) was when I disabled the hardware buttons on my device using S2U2 or something similar (apparantly it affects the use of handsfree kits aswell!) - hope this helps...

Thanks zoomee, I think is has to do with the KCA-BT200 (the seperate BT box attached to the multimedia unit) and the capabilities of its FW. The Touch HD is not in the list of "approved" cellphones with tha latest FW, but the Touch Pro is and I would expect it to use the same protocol - maybe a bit optimistic

I know this is an older post but...
I was curious if any of you Kenwood users that have the option to SMS from your deck can use this feature with any HTC/windows mobile phone. My phone pairs with my H/U just fine (KVT-514) and does everything aside from SMS. The feature is grayed out. It's not like I will ever use it, but I would still like to make it work if I can.

SMS is grayed out on my 522DVD as well. I think you/we will have to wait until Kenwood release new updated FW with newer phones for the BT200 unit.

My DNX-5260BT won't even download the phonebook! It connects but only allows dialled calls...gutted.

Touch HD and Parrot Bluetooth

Hi All,
For just over a year now, I used my TyTN 2 with my Parrot CK3100 bluetooth carkit with no worries.
Last week I got my Touch HD (woah - what an upgrade), and cannot get it to pair with the parrot.
On the parrot and TyTN 2 I would select a windows CE device on the parrot and hit it. 60 seconds later all was good to go.
With the Touch HD, I cannot get it to pair. The Touch HD picks up the parrot, I select it, and it begins to pair. At that moment, the Parrot says "Pairing failed" and that is that. I can reboot, fiddle, try other devices on the Parrot etc... and nada. Just won't work.
Any ideas people?
TIA

Hey
I have it paired with my parrot so if defo works, one thing to try is updating the parrot as I did this about 3 months to get it working with my n95 8gb.
Sully

Thx man. I actually thought that just after I posted. I last updated the Parrot about a year ago. I hope it works. I struggled today having to pick-up the damned phone to speak to people

where can you update your parrott?

Go here: http://www.parrot.com/uk/support/downloads
Download the update tool and whichever PDF relative to how you will do it.
Use the tool to download the latest firmware.
I use my notebook and bluetooth connection to connect to the parrot and do the update. Is very simple, and quick.

Okay, updated the CK3100 to latest firmware. No change. My Touch HD is listed in the paired devices list, but pairing fails everytime when trying to connect.
I am not using the stock ROM on the Touch HD though. I am running Dutty's 2.1 Extreme ROM. Think this could be the problem? Debating re-loading the stock ROM to see if it makes a difference.

Dominion,
Sorry I cannot help, but I am very interested in any future input, since I was about to order a Parrot ck3100 TODAY
This coincidence may save me from ordering the wrong kit. I hope you can sort out yours.
Thanks

I absolutely have to get this working. I have become dependant on the CK3100, so will persevere. As soon as I have a working result I will post my findings and solution.
I am busy re-loading the stock WWE ROM on my Touch HD right now, then will try again. If that won't work (gut says it will though), then I have to dig into the dark hidden spaces of Google Failure not an option here. I have to find a way to get it to work.

Okay people... Feedback... All sorted!! YAY.
Touch HD Rom: RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
Can find it on the wiki.
CK3100 Firware version 4.18b (latest as of today).
I would suspect my problem was Dutty's ROM as the CK3100 would indicate "Failed" as soon as a connect was made, then the Touch HD which just hang there. I would have to hard reboot. This happened on my year old CK3100 firmware and the latest.
With the WWE Stock ROM I just re-loaded, the CK3100 said "Failed" as the connection was made, but the Touch HD progressed to prompt me for the "1234" code. I entered it, and the two paired 100%. Took 30 seconds from start to finish.
So go out and get your CK3100 SwissRV

Ah, but what if you want a CK3100 and like Duttys V2.1 Xtreme??

That is my dilemma. I have always used Dutty's ROM's on each of my HTC phones.
It is sad to not be able to use it, but I would rather have hands free in my car than a custom ROM - as awesome as it is.
Hopefully Dutty can fix it, then we can have the best of both worlds
With Dutty's ROM, my Garmin Mobile XT would fix so damn quick. It was unbelievable how fast it was ready to navigate. With the stock ROM, I am back to waiting, waiting, waiting... Need to find a radio upgrade to go with the stock ROM.

Thanks Dominion, I just ordered after reading that the "normal" ROM works.

My stock Telstra T8285 ROM would not work with my Parrot car kit. It got as far as entering the code (1234) during pairing, however it fails to pair after that.
So, I flashed Dutty's latest ROM, and I still have exactly the same problem this morning.
I am going to try the Parrot firmware next.. I will let you all know if it works.

Hi,
I have the parrot 9100 and it works like a charm with dutty 3.9. This should be the same for the 3100.
Instead of connecting the phone via the car kit you can try to connect it via the phone. Go to advanced bluetooth settings and add a bluetooth device. This worked for me. Parrot rules
Do I have to mention that the car kit has to be visible then ;-)

My HD works fine with my Parrot CK-3100. I´ve stock spanish 1.14 rom. No problem. Update parrot firmware and must work it..

Quality problems with HD and CK3100
I have a Touch HD (Orange unlocked) ROM 1.09.25.14. I have reported sound quality problem to Parrot UK who recommended latest f/w (4.19) which I installed. I still have poor audio quality on most calls (unintelligable sometimes), but OK on handset if call transferred back to it. I tried a Sony Ericsson phone which worked fine on CK3100. It appears to be an HD bluetooth issue. Anyone got an ideas?
