Hi,
When enabeling "bluetooth settings/Advanced/Audio/"play system sounds on hand free device", The HD2 plays system sounds on my parrot car kit.
That is, it sometimes does and sometimes doesn't.
This worked twice with TomTom (which is quite handy as the voice is spoken over the car speakers). It even worked with music played (mono).
Nowdays, I hear the relais in my Carkit Click when something is said, Sound of my radio mutes (as it should), but the sound is sent through the HD2 speaker.
Does this sound familiair (And did someone find a solution?).
Thanks,
Ben
Yes, I have exactly the same. Anyone knows a solution?

And also for me. Seat factory fitted hands free and Co-Pilot 8.

Hello there,
after installing a THB Burry Car Talk DSP including the Kaiser cradle i got the following problem:
The blackbox is directly connected to my car stereo (Blaupunkt) with Phone-In connector (therefore sound is directly played back by using the car speakers) and mute signal. Using this kit for phone calls works perfectly: radio is muted and i can make clear conversations
But: no other sound of the Kaiser, like navigation voice of TomTom or music played back by the mediaplayer is heard through the car speakers nor the internal speaker of the Kaiser.
I also tried using an external speaker connected to the black box but this didn´t help. It seems that the car kit only works when the Kaiser initializes the mute signal.
Someone got the same problem and has a clue what to do?
Thanks alot.
Hi, I have an XDA Serra, very pleased with this phone so far, the only downside is battery life, but hey I can live with that.
I am using it in the car for Sat Nav (Co Pilot 6) or in car holder for calls on the move.
Unfortunately the sound generated from the handset speaker isn't great and therefore I would like to be able to either use a car holder that amplifies the sound, or use the phone through the a car stereo.
My current stereo is pretty basic so I am looking to change it for a Bluetooth model, however I would like to know what works and which model to buy (not too expensive).
I would like to be able to 1) hear phone calls 2) run co-pilot 3) play music through the car stereo. Is it possible to do this through a BT capable Stereo? anyone got this working succesfully?
Cheers, Blair
There is another issue with the sound: as the speaker ist on the back side of the phone, most car holders will cover the speaker, so the volume goes down. Same happens when you lay it on the table.
re
dark_lobito, thanks for your response, I must admit I didn't pick up on that at first, just checked my car kit and it appears that the speaker is not fully covered, but is blocking some of the speaker.
I bought this http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=169986 which is OK for the price, and gives enough sound for a quiet room indoors. It's not amazing but is good enough for using as a portable radio/music player, but not in the car.
I have been looking and there are quite a few car stereos with BT audio streaming, as well as phone capabilities. But I need to know if it works as I want it to before splashing out.
I am hoping somebody has got these functions working with a BT Car Stereo to advise me.
Cheers, Blair
My car has an Auxilliary input, so I used the adapter that came with the phone and plugged the charger and Aux In wire to the phone. That sends the sound through the speakers of your car.
Also when you use the adapter that came with the phone it lets you use the microphone also so it works perfectly.
re
samz465, thanks for reply, but I'm not sure what u mean? The only adapter I got with the phone (O2 XDA Serra version) was a cable that allows u to connect to a 3.5 jack.
Sorry to be a pain, any pictures showing what adaptor you mean?
Cheers, Blair
Can I jump in here?
I have the HTC Pro too (Sprint)
I also have a car with an IPOD input
Well tonight I connected that to the phone's dongle via the 3.5mm input.
It sounds so good with my speakers ..BUT when I connect the USB headset that came with it, and make a phone call, they can't hear me but I can hear them just LOUD
Am I doing something wrong?

You might want to check out the Motorola T605 - Bluetooth hands-free car kit. It has stereo BT profile and an FM transmitter.
Might save you the cost and installation of a new head unit.
I've never used the T605 so I can't vouch for how good it is.
i've bought a car kit fm transmitter from ebay & made a quick review of it here. it works ok but you can only charge it if you don't use the fm transmitter & vice versa, it does not have a speaker unfortunately... does the job ok otherwise. decent/good enough sound for GPS & even for music playback
Too get better sound you should also try SRS WOW HD. It boosts volume and certainly clears up the mumble. Voices are recognizable as voices instead of monsters coming out of a can.
Any of you use a gps program on your phone? If so, do you also have a car stereo with bluetooth? If so, do any of you know if it is possible to listen to an ipod or a cd while the gps interrupts gives you instructions every now and then. I'm asking because I'd rather not have to always listen to music on my phone, just to have the gps also going though the speakers.
I have Tom Tom 7 on my HTC HD2 and I also have a Sony BT3700 Headunit in the car.
I have used navigation many times when the phone has been ready to receive a call and I have also used the phone many times without the navigation switched on.
The other day I was using tom tom and somebody rang me but at the time I had the voices on mute, so I do not know about the sounds.
I have never had the chace to be on the phone and use TomTom voices as well.
I am pretty sure what will happen, is the sound for the phonecall will come out on your stereo and the sound for GPS will come out of the phone.
I believe that is the best way and I would have no problem with that.
If you want to use the GPS voices over bluetooth, you will need to use the bluetooth overaudio function which you would also use to play a song or watch a film.
Hope that makes sense?
Well I have the Xperia x1i and tom tom navigator 6, as well as a dual xhd7720 with the bluetooth adapter. What I want to do is play my ipod while I have the gps navigation going. The only way I can have the music and gps playing through the speakers is to tune to Bt streaming on my radio and have the music playing from my phone. I would just set my phone to have the gps voice go through the phone speaker, but those with the Xperia should know that the speaker isn't very loud.
I understand what you mean now.
But I believe it is not possible. The problem is not with the phone, but with the headunit. You can not listen to BTaudio mode and ipod or CD at the same time.
It would be like trying to listen to the radio and your ipod at the same time on your headunit, just not possible.
My onyl suggestion is by some cheap speakers to plug into the bottom of your xperia for better sound? and keep using the btaudio mode for the phone.
Just to clarify at bit more. What I'm looking for is a way to trick the head unit into thinking that whenever an instruction is given (such as turn left in a quarter mile) the head unit mutes the music, much like it does when there is a phone call. I figured that would be something software could take care of on the phone.
Just got my x10 few days ago.
was trying to link it to my car via bluetooth.
I have a 09 mazda 6
the bluetooth hands free and aduio works well with my previous device, which is x1.
but for x10, it shows that link is successfull, but when i play the music, there is no sound comes out from the car's speaker at all.
so then I tried with hands free, so i make my frd to call me, the display of the car does show the number, but when i picked up the phone call, my frd's voice wont come out from the car's speaker as well, it comes out on the phone's speaker, during the main time, both car's mic and the mic in the phone, wont get my voice, my frd didnt hear anything.
my other frd, which owns a 09 arcura tsx have the exactly same problem with me.
does anyone else have the same problem with me ?

I have the same issue with my connectors in my car (mercedes benz 09 12V) hands-free and stereo syncs with the X10 but does nothing at all. I think this is in particular a bug to be fixed with the Android update. I dont really mind since I use the car´s system to bump it up.
hopefully the 2.1 will fix this, thks bro.
Connection to car audio system via auxiliary cable
Hi, I am new to the forum and this is my first post.
I tried to connect my X10 via auxiliary cable to my car's audio system and I am able to hear music through my car speakers but if I want to use this method to call someone I can hear the ringing and the other person through car speakers but they cannot hear me, even if I speak directly to the phone's mic. The only way they can hear me if I unplug the auxiliary cable from the phone. Does anyone know if there's a solution to this ? Thanks,
i have nissan 370z touring with bluetooth. works fine my with car. shows phone number and i can place calls and receive calls fine.
Hi - I've got a few bluetooth options - A retro fit bluetooth kit integrated into the car stereo for my work phone - which work with my X10 too.. A sun visor mounted blue tooth kit.. which works fine.. and a jabra bluetooth headset.. which also works fine.. !!
Sorry for that.
The bluetooth works for me very well in my car. Renault Megane '09

Hi
I connect to a Parrot 3100 with no real issues. I did get better performance when putting the latest firmware on my parrot.
The issues I DO have is from the key lock. If its on, I have many issues with phonebooks, answering calls and ending them.
cheers

To fix this you need to plug in the sony adapter that came with your phone, then plug in your auxiliary cable to that adapter then your car system. The x10 doesn't recognize mic that aren't manufactured by Sony, so they have to pass through the adapter for someone to hear you on the other end.
I am trying to use my x10 with nokia's bluetooth carkit 7w. I get an connection, then it disconnects, shows its connected on the top of the screen, but i'll be buggered if it is. I have to reboot the phone to get it to connect, and then o repeat the sequence of events. If this is a compatibilty issue, can anyone recomend a carkit?
X10 connected to Toyota Prius hands-free with no problem. But turn on X10's bluetooth before turning on your car.
Sound like most of you guys showing off your car more fine
My bluetooth have the same problem (chrysler pacifica 06) and locale suck as i have to flip on the phone for bt to turn on.
It is 50 50 chance it pair up for me
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I have no problem receiving incoming calls via my car HU, JVC double din Touch Screen DVD HU.
I have not test on the music portion though.
I have my Defy (red lens, CM9) connected to my bluetooth carkit (Skoda/VW RNS510/Columbus), when it's connected it outputs the sound of the navigation (iGO Primo2) to the bluetooth. Is it possible to make it play the sound trough the speaker of the phone?
I like to listen to the FM-radio when navigating and the RNS510 is so slow changing audio source that I don't hear any of the navigation instructions + it doesn't switch back to the FM when the instructions are finished.
Hi,
I reported a related BUG here.
I had also issues in combination to the original motorola car cradle (had to rotate the car cradle 180° to prevent the magnet to activate car-mode).
I don't think it's due to CM9 or 10 because I had the same problem with CM7
For me it was working on CM7 and MS2Ginger.
How did you get iGO to put its sound on the cell's speaker instead of bluetooth or did it just do it like that?

Oh,... I meant my issue was working on CM7 and MS2Ginger... I am using Navigon together with Holo FM and the Radio APP suppresses the Navigon voice almost completely.
I think all "normal" audio gets automatically routed to headset or external speaker if connected. IGO must have an own build in switch to prevent it from using headset/ext-speaker. If it has none it should be impossible.
On Navigon there is an option weather sounds should been played over bluetooth (2 chanels possible). Unfortunately if it is switched of the sound doesn't play on the internal speaker either.
Sorry to mislead you with my former post....
I've been testing a bit more with iGO and sound going over the Bluetooth.
When my Defy is connected to the car and I then toggle the media option in de Bluetooth menu, it sends all navigation directions to the phone speaker but when I leave the car and get back in, it goes back over bluetooth, I then have to toggle the media option again (it doesn't matter if media is selected or deselected, the behaviour changes because off the toggle)
I solved it. There's an app that lets you route the sound to the speaker: SoundAbout
It lets you route mediasound to speaker. So bluetooth keeps handeling your calls, works great.
Please ask all questions in Q&A. Thread moved there.
