Anyone got Sim Access Profile working?

Hi
I wondered if anyone had successfully used the Sim Access Profile capabilkity of the of TyTn to connect with a Bluetooth car kit. I'm trying to get the connection going with a Merc. car kit, but I can't get them to pair.
Thx

Hi petes, I have an slk 55 amg with command and bluetooth. The bluetooth in the command system does not work for pairing with a phone. Even though it says it has bluetooth. To use bluetooth you need an extra module.
Hope this helps...

Hi Dale
Thanks. I actually already have the module - the european version of the module is different to the US one in that it uses Sim Access Profile, rather than just acting as a headset. The TyTn says is supports SAP, but I just can't make it work - wondering if anyone's actually got SAP working.

Hi Petes,
I also have an Mercedes-Benz with the european bluetooth module. But I have a Qtek 9100 updated to AKU2 (Which is supposed to support SAP), but no luck at all. Actually the module can not even identify my phone and display it at the search screen of the comand screen. I tried also with a NOKIA 6230i (SAP Compatible phone) which actually I was able to see at the search list of the comand screen which means that the module is working with SAP compatible phones. What I will do next, is to try again with the new firmware I installed to my 9100 (T-Mobiles 2.21 Version) which has a SAP application for bluetooth (Something like SAP Server).
I can not do it yet because I am abroad and I will be back again 1st of September. I will let you know the results ASAP.
If you have any news from your site with TyTn please let me know because I was intending to change my 9100 to TyTn just for the SAP functionality.

Hi Barsam
The reason you can't find the 9100 when you search with the BT module is that it only looks for devices which identify themselves as Phones. The TyTn (and no doubt the 9100) identify themselves as Pocket PCs and so the (stupid!) Mercedes kit ignores them. The good news is that you can hack the registry to tell the Bluetooth stack that it's a phone. The bad news is that you can't pair with it. Getting it into the search screen doesn't mean it supports SAP - I could see my old T68 just when I was testing. Could you actually pair with the 6230i - i.e. when you see it in the list select Call?
When you're back, PM me and I'll send you the hack.

To tell you the truth I didn't try to pair the 6230i, but it's one of the phones that mercedes have tested on the bluetooth module. If I don't manage to do it with the 9100 I may get a 6230i. At least I can use the one that my brother has to test it and even copy my contacts to comand. Have you tried the hack with the TyTn? Can you tell me what is the the registry set to do that?
Where did you find out that the bluetooth module ignores enything elese than phones?

Make the following registry change
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\SYS]
"COD"=dword:52020C
On your own head etc.. Keep a copy of the current value of course. Then do a soft reset. You'll then see it as a phone. I've tried this, and can now see the phone, but can't pair. I've had a mail back from HTC that they're aware of some problem with the SAP and are working on it.

I wish a nice car kit would be released in the USA that supports SAP/850 & 1900/ external aerial...

hello,
i'm trying to get my TyTN working with my Meceder Command too... does anyone tried the English ROM-Update? Someone wrote that he can use it's TyTN with his Audi after updating the ROM. And tha Audi-MMI-System works also with SAP... perhpas after the ROM-Update it works with Mecedes Command System too...

I haven't tried it yet - I've been waiting for the TyTn update to come along, but nothing from HTC yet. If I don't get anything soon, I'll switch over to the iMate ROM and report back.

I have used a nokia 6233 6280 onmy E55 2005 with B/t Module
The mercedes module in conjuntion with the command system is problimatic, hoever I think I have another peice of the puzzle. With both the above phones they only worked using Vodaphone 3g cards Three 3g cards paired using SAP however could not get recieption....Mercedes say (there guessing) its the way the sim card is configured.....

Mercedes BT
I have a TYTN on order and Im desperate to find a solution to the issue before it arrives.....
As a follow on to my last post ...basically what I THINK found out was if the sim card was configured to work only on a 3G phone..(some networks do this so that they cannot be put in a 2.5g phone and constantly roam on).....then it would pair with the Bluetooth module in Mercedes however never get recieption.
I tried this on several phones including 6233 6280 N80 E61.....just to name a few....ALL PAIRED....however If I put a Vodaofone 3g Card in then IT worked .....IF i put a Three 3G card in it didnt.....BUMMER CAUSE I'm with THREE.....
I hope this helps in some way and Im more than happy to be corrected however these are my first hand expeirnces....I WANT TO USED THE TYTN in my MErc so Im keen to help in amy way....I have unlimited access to phones...so if anyone has any other suggestions Im happy to give it a go....

At the moment, you'll find that by default the merc kit won't even see the Tytn (it's a pocket pc, not a phone as far as Bluetooth is concerned). You can hack the registry to change this, but then the phone will be seen, but pairing will fail. Hopefully, the forthcoming firmware update will fix this - I've had mail back from HTC support to suggest they know there are problems with the SAP support.

Mercedes BT
Is there anyone who had paired Nokia phones with Mercedes BT(euro spec) successfully? I had tried for several Nokia phones (6230i/6270/6280) to pair with BT ,all failed. I can just find the 16-digit PIN on Comand, no phone appears on Comand. Phone & Comand can't find each other. Do I have to set other setting except the "bluetooth setting" for mobile phone? Even I try to "search for audio enhancements" and 'find no devices' at all .

Thanks Petes,
Did they give any idea on time frames?...Did you have any thoughts about my experience with the different sim cards....
Mark

I am considering buying the HTC TyTN and the Merc Bluetooth module so I am very keen to know if anyone can get this working.
Thanks,
Ady

Nope - no news on timescales I'm afraid - just waiting for the firmware update from HTC. I'm reluctant to try the iMate firmware at the moment - until there's an HTC to go back to in case something goes awry. Has anyone had a chance to try SAP with either of the newer firmwares (iMate or Dopod) - might give us a good clue if the HTC one's going to work.

I've connected my 6230i easily enough, just remember to allow "auto connect without confirmation" on the phone after entering the 16 digit code
I have tried my HW6915 pocket pc but like the other PPC's it is not recognised

A reply I got from HTC support on 21/09/2006 asking about the Merc SAP problem was:
At present the TyTN is only compatable with a limited number of kits. A ROM update will be released shortly to update this.

So fingers crossed that it will be soon and solve the problem.

I asked them the same thing a while ago and just checked back in on availability. Just got ...
"At present the HTC ROM for the TyTN is being written and tested and we expect it to be released in the very near future."
So, patience is a virtue I hear....

08 Altima Bluetooth

We just bought an '08 Altima with the bluetooth option. I can pair the XV6800 with no problem, but quality sucks. It is super choppy on my end and the person on the other end can't hear me at all. I tried my wifes XV6800, same thing. I can pair my old E815 and it works perfectly, so it's not the car. I tried a hard reset, no difference.
I tried loading dcd's clean rom 1.6.7, no difference. Is the BT stack upgraded in this rom?
Is there a newer BT stack out there that I could try?

Its worth downloading and trying the Jetware BT Extensions and see if that helps....but usually it does not change quality so much as enable functionality.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't help.

Developer help with Infiniti/Nissan Bluetooth?
I've got the exact same issue with an '07 Infiniti G35 w/navigation. I've been doing lots of reading on the xv6800's bluetooth, have tried DCD's and Custel's roms, and was just about to start my own thread, but I'll bet our cars are the same bluetooth/rom wise.
Jetware didn't help me either.
Here's the best fix I've found and it works for me consistently.
-Whence the option's available depending on whether you're dialing out or receiving, click the "use handset" button (transfers call to the xv6800).
-Shortly after press the "phone" button (transfers call back through car).
-Should work as expected after that.
Anyway, at this point I'm hoping one of the kind devs on this forum (DCD or Custel to name just two of many) might find a sec to help us out, although I'm aware and appreciate the fact that many other users are keeping them very busy on their own projects.
I'm assuming the xv6800's hardware would be most similar to other HTC pda phones (not sure what happens between GSM and CDMA devices), so here's a list of their phones who's bluetooth does work with my car (from here). It supports the bluetooth in 144 phones total.
Kaiser (wasn't working with stock rom, but works after this patch from HTC)
Hermes
Atlas
Wizard
Apache
Magician
Harrier
HTC pda phones that don't work with my car (at least not 100%).
Vogue
Elf
Titan
The Titan DOES work with an '07-'08 Infiniti G35 WITHOUT navigation (buy more, get less ).
In addition to the stock Verizon rom I've tried DCD's 1.6.1, 1.6.7, and Custel's 1.1 with no change in the symptoms.
It's my understanding the dev community thinks modding the Vogue's bluetooth for the Titan shows the most promise. I found this thread mentioning an alternative, but it seems to have gone stale on another forum. I'd prefer not to use that forum.
I understand the Vogue's bluetooth might show the most promise for general bluetooth applications (which would satisfy the most users), but becuase I plan to use bluetooth solely through this car, does anyone know if I might be able to go an easier route given the information I've provided?
I'm using radio 1.40.00, could 1.47.01 make a difference?
Can anything be learned through HTC's Kaiser update patch?
Are there any bluetooth alternatives being tested that I haven't found?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

OK. I tried what you said and confirm the same results on the '08 Altima. If I switch to handset and back to Bluetooth, the sound is clear (weird). The only problem is, I can't switch until a call is in progress. This is a work around, but not a good one. We need a BT stack that fixes this. Or maybe firmware upgrade from the auto manufacturer.

I know this is going to sounds like a cheap shot, but it sounds to me like something needs to be fixed on Nissan's side. I've tried mine in an Accura without any problem, however both of your stereos are manufactured by Nissan.
A word of advice: I always found that auto makers should stick to what they do- namely, make cars. If Nissan were so great at BT stereos, you'd see nissan headsets.
I never bother with factory Bluetooth anymore- I swapped my stereo right away for a decent Sony Xplod system that supports A2DP (wireless stereo) as well as phone calls. The aftermarket stereo not only sounds great, but I play all my music from my phone without taking it out of my pocket. Last I checked, no stock car stereos supported this. Sony is good at stereo and bluetooth (been around the block a few times).
Complain to Nissan. Or swap your stereo for something decent.

My Sprint 6700 with BigJ Rom works great with the 08 Altima. In the fact the audio quality is better than the Sanyo Katana that I also have paired. I am dispointed that I cannt answer calls from both phones on the car headset without first selecting the phone that has an incoming call. Even my At&T home phone with bluetooth can do that although it does require you to select a cellphone for outgoing calls.
I was able to upload a contact entry from my 6700 to the car Download phonebook. However, I can not get that into the more usable phonebook directory. Anyone succeed in doing that?

You might be in the wrong forum. The Titan is a 6800, not a 6700.

yes, but this thread is discussing the Altima BT stereo. Truthfully, this whole thread should go in a more general BT forum, since I don't think it pertains to the 6800 exactly.

08 altima bluetooth
Just wanted to say thanks to Park City for posting the name of the web site with the bluetooth extentions (jetwaremobile.com). I have just recently purchased an 08 Altima with the Nav system and bluetooth. I have an Tmobile MDA with a cooked ROM running WM6 and I could not get the entire outlook phone book to download to the car. Once I installed the jetware mobile extentions everything worked just fine. I even got some additional functionality I was not expecting like signal strengh and battery status on the nav srceen. As for voice quality, it's never been an issue for me. So far anyway

As I can see, they are currently testing the Mogul with both of your cars. I don't know what they mean by 'testing', but that's what is going on right now.

I saw that too, but I don't have a lot of confidence they'll be releasing a bluetooth update any time soon. That's why I was hoping the Titan's bluetooth hardware might be similar enough to the hardware in one of the devices that DO work with our cars (Kaiser, etc., list in my earlier post) that their bluetooth software could be ported "easily" to the Titan. I'm sure the devs here are trying to get the Titan's bluetooth to work as well as possible for everyone's devices, which makes sense. However, with California's new "handsfree driving" law starting July '08, I'm only concerned with getting the Titan to work with my car.
Apparently no one's too sure if that's possible.

1. have any of you verified first hand that the kaiser does in fact work?
2. could someone research and identify the bt hardware in the kaiser, and the titan?
3. has anyone run the kaiser bt fix on their titan and tried it?
i suppose i never thought to look at the kaiser's bt. mine still functions after applying that kaiser patch..
the kaiser patch is a replacement TIInit_4_2_38.bts file
this file did not exist in any titan roms prior to 2.16
2.16 introduced this file (i compared md5 and its not the same data)
2.17, htcs supposed 'fix', does NOT contain this file
all vogue roms i have seen DO contain this file, but again its different data
maybe you guys are on to something
i will throw something together tomorrow probably...drinking time.

dcd, thanks for the help, enjoy those drinks!
1. Not first hand, I'm going off this post. That thread's also why I believe the Kaiser wasn't working with the car before the patch.
2. I've spent a lot of time trying, but have come up empty on any detailed hardware specs.
3. I just ran the Kaiser patch and the bluetooth functions the same as it does without the patch.
I'm using a rom from your 1.6.7 kitchen with nothing else added (rom's working great, btw). I had the same issue with the stock Verizon rom.
Crazy thought, but if the cooked rom I'm using is based on a stock rom that didn't originally include the .bts file (2.17), could it be being ignored?

i take it they are completely different head units?

I have a 07 G35 WITH Navi and yes, the quality is choppy when I connect my phone to it. I have been just using my Platronics Discover 640 for the BT these days... It'd be nice if someone can come up with a solution for this...

They're pretty different. With nav you get a 10 gig hd it'll rip cd's to, the nav runs off that hd, the gui which controls much of the car is different, voice prompts are different, the available buttons are different (see attached pics), and you lose a cd changer. I do know first hand that w/o nav the bt works great with an XV6800 (got a loaner once). Again, I've been unable to find out what's specifically different hardware wise (even with the full service manual).

Once connected, I get a really static noise from my end while in the conversation. Of course, it'a really not usable at all....
I'm going to try the reconnecting method that was mentioned above today. I'll come back and report the outcome. And thanks for the help BTW.
EDIT: BTW, my Wizard (Cingy 8125), Hermes (Cingy 8525), Samsung i760, and few of the Moto handsets are all fine paired to my car. MAYBE, someone can get the BT stack from Hermes to work with the Titan?

well, peices of it maybe. i would blindly guess that the kaiser is closer to titan than hermes, but we need to exactly identify the bt chip in each. plus its still shady then, ie the kaiser has tnetw1251 for wlan same as the titan and I cannot get their newer wlan driver to work on my device.
what we really need to look at is previous bt stack modifications for other devices. i need a better understanding of tiinit_blah. I've also noticed that the devices that work have a more extensive, or a 2nd audiopara file that sets values for some bt devices. to be completely honest right now i dont know what im looking at and i need to figure out how it all fits together before i know where to start.

Well, I tried reconnect method from both phone and the car, but neither did anything at all. The quality is still crappy as heck. Man... I reallly wish this works.
EDIT: Actually my side of the speaker was complete static, and the other side could not hear what I was saying AT ALL. This efing blows.

Hero cannot connect to BMW handsfree :(

Hi!
I just bought my new, shiny HTC Hero and while my old HTC G1 worked perfectly with my BMW 2006 5-series (contacts sync and all) the Hero doesn't even want to connect. It pairs succesfully (exchanges PIN etc) but then it says 'connecting' for some time and 'paired but not connected' after that. I'm very frustrated about this. Wrote to HTC about this already. Does anyone have the same problem? Or even better - a solution? This is a huge deal-breaker for me as I travel a lot and depend on te built in bmw handsfree
BTW iPhone and Nokia N95 sync also.

Are you sure you don't need to remove the G1 from the BMW's electronic brain before attempting to pair the Hero? It talked fine to my hands free kit.

That was my thought also and I removed all devices from BMW profile except Hero. No use
Normally I check if it pairs with my car before I buy but since G1 worked flawlessly I just assumed that Hero will be the same.

It works perfect on my BMW 1-Series 2008 (iDrive)

I think the Hero uses a new chipset for the Bluetooth, the same one as the TP2. You might need to update the bluetooth in your car to work with a new chipset? I had to do it with a mates Parrot car kit the other day, then it worked fine.

Software update for my car is a cost of 200EUR and there is no guarantee that it will work
I'm dissapointed because my friends iPhone 3GS works without problems. Also new Nokias work correctly.
Where can I confirm that the BT chip is different?

BMW has been known for its BT issues for long time, so it shouldn't come to you as a surprise.
I would probably get a Hero in a few days from now, and have two BMW BT's where I can try. Will let you know.
Regards.

That would be great. Thanks!
I know BMW has issues with BT. Thats why I always check if a phone pairs correctly before I buy it. HTC Hero caught me off-guard because of the G1 (same manufacturer, same operating system).

I own the same car. Works great! Try installing modacos new Rom.

I have a BMW 320D E90 (2006), and my HTC Hero can't connect as well (pairing ok but fail to connect).
Just for information, last year (05/2008) I had to update the whole iDrive system because it crashed (yes a car onboard system can crash !!), so the software version I have is quite recent. I know that the HTC Hero has bugs with bluetooth connectivity (see here : http://code.google.com/p/android/is...5i&colspec=id type status owner summary stars ) so we can hope an update of the phone to fix this issue..

YES!
IT WORKS ON MODACO's NEW ROM!

Bluetooth BMW and HTC HD2

Hi
I have a BMW X5 and a HTC HD2 with the newest ROM. When I enter the car, HD2 is recognised automatically by the car and I can place phonecalls dialing from my HD2. The only thing that does not work is that BMW tries to upload my phonebook from the phone but it does not get it. BMW says "please wait" - forever.
Before I flashed the ROM, this worked. Anyone has any ideas? I would even pay for someone in Zurich who comes and fixes this. One thing I could do of course is to downgrade my ROM again. But before I do this, I want to explore any other options.
Thanks a lot!
PS: jetwaremobile.com definately does NOT work on HD2

I have exactly the same issue. The HTC HD2 works ok for calls etc but the phone book upload is "please wait" forever. Very annoying. I have the standard up to date ROM and BMW X5 2009 model. Any help would be great.
Thanks

I have a 2008 BMW, and I did experience this the first time..I sat there waiting for a few mins adn then got bored...but after I had turned the car off, been away and come back..it transferred straightaway.
Funnily enough, when I had my iphone (yes..sorry) I had the little image of the phone next to the BT signal on the display. I don't get this straight away with the HD2, but it always eventually appears..and then stays there until I hard reset my phone and do a ROM upgrade and then start the pairing again..where I just get the BT signal...then randomly..a few weeks later, the phone image appears again....very odd

I have a new HTC Mini HD and have the same problems with my 2009 BMW 3. BT Headset function works just fine, but iDrive keeps trying to sync the telephone book, unsuccesfull. Instead, my phone's battery gets drained. Anyone any sollutions?

Unfortunately I don't have an answer for your question, but it sounds like it might have something to do with the bluetooth stack used for that ROM/Radio not being recognized by the car. Perhaps the layer that deals with data transfer is removed. Sorry I can't be of more help here.
What I can do to help is to offer a warning. I am a former BMW Client Advisor, and have been told many, many times by service technicians that using phones which are not specifically approved by BMW can affect your car's ECU (brain) and if it needs to be repaired or replaced, it will not be covered under warranty. That could be just nonsense to force you into buying only phones which BMW has tested (or vendors have paid for a marketing fee), or it might be spot on, in which case you run a pretty big risk.
Hope this helps.

OK, problem solved. BMW updated my carsoftware to its newest version last week and now my HD2 works perfectly with my car (again). I can make calls AND my phonebook is synced as well.
Hint1: Try if your phonebook sync problem exists with the SIM contacts as well as with the phone contacts

Hi All,
I have a BMW X5 2005 model. I can pair the phone OK but it constantly disconnects and reconnects once the transfer of the phonebook occurs. The phonebook transfers always start from scratch when this happens and nothing gets loaded to the car's phonebook.
If a call comes in, or if I make a call while it is connected (like within 5 seconds) the phone stays connected for the duration of the call.
I have tried all the Regisrty tweaks and none change the behaviour.
I also read it is because the HD2 uses Widcomm BT stack and not the MS BT Stack.
Zippolly and a_petrov303 and all those that have it working, can you please tell me which Rom you are using? I am using the latest Energy's 6.5.x rom. i noticed someone mentioned Miri's 6.5.x Rom works.
Thanks,
Rob

I have a 07 E60. The HD2 pairs fine, synchs contacts fine, but the sound quality is so bad it's not useable. Of course bmw says it's not a compatible phone, but I think there is a problem with the car as my Diamond won't find it, even though it is supposed to be supported

its mainly due to the car bluetooth, BMW etc don't make the car kit mostly siemens do and they are slow on the uptake of doing updates.

anybody found a snap-in for the hd2 yet?
I have a 7-series F01 and it is really annoying to have to deal with that usb cable...

I had the BT problem too, deleting the profile and repairing the phone did the trick for me...

Legend and bluetooth on BMW carkit (iDrive)?

Hi there,
I am planning to buy this very nice phone. However, I own a BMW 1 series (sept 2007) with a factory build in bluetooth carkit (BMW iDrive system) and I was wondering whether this phone will work without any troubles on this carkit. Maybe some of you are using a similar combination. Google and this forum don't give me much information, but maybe that's a good sign?
I hope you can help me!

Well it works on my 525 series yr 2009. Even the names gts displayed on the screen .

Ok thank you!
I think I will give it a try.

I used to have a HTC Blackstone that worked perfectly with my BMW serie 1 and I now switched to the HTC Legend... The phone's great but I had issues with my car...
First I tried connecting it to the carkit (had a long trip to do), it was a bit tricky, and didn't try phonecall...
Then someone called me, the carkit just rang and I couldn't talk in the implemented microphones, neither the speakers didn't link the sound ... I had to stop the car and answer directly on the phone.
Half an hour later, I was using the GPS, listening to the radio, the radio just stopped and then followed all the Idrive system !
It came back few minutes later, as i drove back home...
My car may have issues but I tend to think the phone isn't so innocent about all this...

I have a BMW Series3, and although I can make calls alright, I can see my phonebook, neither does it logs calls...
