Hi there,
I am going to buy a new car (well, a used one, but new for me) and I am looking for a good reliable handsfree which is known to work with a raphael.
What I want is: Phonebook synchronization (SIM + internal phonebook), voice dialling (i.e. you say the name of a contact in the phonebook. I don't need to be able to call an unknown number which is not in my phonebook by voice).
Radio muting.
I found some parrot devices (like mki9100), but some people had problems with parrot's handsfrees and windows mobile devices...
Does anyone own a handsfree which he can recommend?
What car do you own?
Yes parrott can have issues with WM devices, but it is very rare, i personally have never had a problem with the combination. Try and find out if your car manufacturer has a factory unit. I have an Audi and the TP works very well with all features.
Hope it helps
It will be a Volkswagen Golf V - Volkswagen has two handsfrees but the better of them costs about 900 EUR with installation/mounting because it is best inserted when the car is assembled... And it demands rSAP which causes problems with some HTC devices...

rSAP works perfectly with the TP.
Parrot ck3100 works perfect with my pro!
It's good news that rsap works well with the device - maybe I can get the better VW handsfree installed for cheap when I buy the car...
For the Parrot ck3100 I have a question... In my old car I had a Parrot Rhythm'n'blue car radio with BT handsfree. The problem with the raphael was, when I have a contact John Doe who has a home and a mobile number, the handsfree would display two separate contacts for this:
John Doe / H
John Doe / M
Before this was one contact with multiple numbers which could be chosen by saying "private" or "mobile".
Is this still an issue with the ck3100?
I would recommend using the 3200LS it's colour, and you can specify what number you want by saying "Home, Mobile etc"
And you can store the picture of the person in the kit also

mmh actually it's a bit too big for me - I was thinking of something smaller and more subtle like the Mki 9100 (http://www.parrot.com/uk/products/hands-free-car-kits/parrot-mki9100) or (but this would be more expensive) the FISCON (http://www.fiscon-mobile.eu/) which is possible with my car as it will have a touchscreen radio which will be used for displaying the address book etc.
I have an HP Ipaq 310 that has all of these and works great. It is also a navigation unit running IGO.

This is exactly like the RNS-E head unit that are fitted to Audi's Works a treat, but enjoy parting with €400
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.

Thanks for the replies guys
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!
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
Works fine here with a BMW 5x from 2008.. Using miris 6.5.x ROM

Hi, I also have a 2008 BMW (E93) and I do see the phone logo. It also syncs about 250 of my >3000 contacts. With my TyTN2 I used "Jetware Mobile" to sync just one dedicated category. But that doesn't work anymore with MinMo 6.5

Which ROM do you use 1.66? or earlier? With my earlier ROM I had no problems, but since I upgraded to 1.66 (German), the phonebook does not transfer...
Bluetooth auto control problem
I can’t control my bluetooth (on/off) when using Inesoft phone profiles/controls; I have also tried other programs but no success(in another program the window of bluetooth was disabled); through all programs, I could control phone, WIFI, and gprs but not the Bluetooth. The only way to turn the Bluetooth on/ off is the Comm Manager (Manually); could anyone help please. Thanks

thank you, I am glad it worked for you...you must have a newer generation ULF than me then.
Is your phone HD2? mine is Toshiba TG01..I have managed to make it work 50/50 of the times, but I do not know WHAT CHANGES are between it working and not working...it is very frustating to know (and experience it working) that it can/should work, but not being able to
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...
Hello everybody!
I been always having difficulties pairing HTC devices with my AUDI A6 (2005) hand-free using bluetooth (HTC Diamond, HD, and now HD2). The phones will pair but neither contacts or recent calls would appear in my car's display (MMI)
I used to solve the problem using a software extension for the bluetooth stack called JETWARE MOBILE, but HD2 uses WIDCOMM's bluetooth stack instead of Microsoft's one, and JETWARE software won't support it.
I've found a thread about pairing with a volvo hands-free where have been found a solution (changing WIDCOMM registry key "SupportedFeatures" and others)
Anyway it appears to be a volvo's specific solution so it doesn't work for my AUDI (I still can't get any contacts, recent calls, etc. transfered to my car using those)
Does anybody have an idea?
Thanks in advance
Sounds like Audi does not support the handsfree profile HD2 uses. What about using sap (sim access)?
The best way would be to ask your Audi Partner about a solution.
I bet they have an own SAP bluetooth device as i read that Audi uses Handsfree on default and SAP as an option for more money.
It is always a matter of the cars software and not of the HD or HD2.
I own the Mercedes CLC 2008 and i need to buy an extra utility (SAP bluetooth dongle SLR design) for more than 300 €.
Didnt do it till today but i got a new job and def. will buy it when i get the first money.
With SAP it will definately work - also confiremd by several forums i found via google.
BTW: The brother of my wife has a new Volvo V50 and he cant pair his Nokia phone with the cars system but my old HD as my new HD2 too can pair without any problem. I can shuffle through my contacts where he got the same issue as u - but with his nokia phone.
I'm not sure if you've updated the MMI software in your Audi. I had a older software version in my 05 A6 there are 2 disks that will get you to the latest version. I have flawless phone access now. It's like a ROM upgrade for the car.
You can read more about it at www.audiworld.com and check the C6 forum.

I don't really think I've got any MMI updates. I don't even know what version I've got...
I'll ask my dealer to find out.
Thanks

I doubt your dealer will fix it for you unless you are still in warranty and you are having an issue with it.
My dealer didn't want to touch it because like one of these phones if you mess up the upgrade you can brick it.
If you want to take a picture of the SW version and post it or send it to me I can tell you what you have.
Are you in the US?
I forgot to mention if you fry the MMI it is about $2,000 to fix. I was able to get the lastest software installed in about 2 hours.

I'm from Spain, little far away from US...
When I took my car to its last service (55.000 miles) they told me they were supposed to apply a software update (I was in a hurry so I told them to came back later... 8 months ago...).
May be that update will also apply to the MMI?
Anyway I'll take the picture and show you the SW version.
Thanks

It's hard to say what they wanted to update, it could have been the ECU or MMI. I found that since I had an early model 05 my software was really out of date. Once I updated it the phonebook and connection worked so much better.
Audi usually supply the latest firmware as part of the navigation disk updates (they auto update when you first put them in).. this is the case for the older RNS-E's and probably the case for MMI too..

May be... but I don't have navigation in my MMI. I actually have the MMI Plus but the navigation module was too much for the value (Tomtom gives me the same except MMI integration for less than 1/10 of the price)
Thanks anyway

Hi Dameon12,
I think this works only with the V3 SAP Mercedes module, and this works only with the newer MB audio units.
I have a 2006 Mercedes with Comand and the V2 SAP module, but no success as yet pairing with the HD2 - but I'm open to suggestions!
Thanks,
Eddie

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...
