Fiat / Alfa Romeo message reader - HD2 General

I have picked up an Alfa Romeo Mito today which comes with the Fiat "Blue and Me" system which has the ability to read out received text messages when the phone is paired.
This is a system which is Windows Mobile based but bizarrely my WinMo HD2 does not support this.
Does anyone know if there is a program I can install which will enable this??
I'm not sure if this is the best place to post but it is for this device I want the program for.

Hi there, have the same problem with my alfa159, no solution found until yet.

RemoteControl not working on my TITAN
try noviiremote... i read somewhere that the company that made it shutdown and now you can find the software many places along with the required stuff to register it. in my opinion its still the best out there.
Novii
Novii Remote still excists and is coming up with a newer version. I just was a few days ago on there site and took about 600 code bases (free) from their site to program on my PPC. The software is not free but look around and you will find. It is also one of the best remote controllers. By the Way the new version that will come soon is Novii Remote Lite. But i will post de link also.
Good luck

On a lot of WM devices, you have to uncheck the "Receive all incoming beams" on the Settings/Beam screen? Try that? On some others the IrDA port is shared with another function and you may have to disable that function temporarily e.g. WiFi.
Also if this "free" software is a version of NoviiRemote, then there is a setting on the program for choosing the infrared port. I have found that using the AutoDetect did not work on some of my devices. Manually try each of the port settings. If this version is special to the device for which it was free, then there may be no setting function provided i.e. it is set to the port for that specific device and it is different port number to your HTC 6800.

A small up
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had found a soft working on WM devices (I don't know if mine has an IR, it's an HTC Touch Pro 2), and free of charge, of course
And, as the initial author says, I'm in the same case as him, I haven't really $30 to spend...
From what ive gathered/read these are just about useless as you have to be like no more than a foot or two away from the tv for them to work. the infared port is not near as strong as a regular tv remote

This is not a universal truth. The power of the IR transmitter built into the device is the deciding factor. I had kept two HP Jornada's going since they had a very powerful signal and could successfully work all devices, even by bouncing off walls of the room. This was somewhat special.
I currently have two FS Loox N560s (WM6.1 but no longer made) which also work well, but the beam is not as powerful or focused as the Jornada. But both FS and HP devices can operate all my equipment (using either NoviiRemote or PDAWin, I believe that both still available but paid for!) at 10-15 feet.
The biggest problem is that the new generation of WM devices just don't have IR ports any more. This seems to be because the demand has not been great from consumers, but also the devices are packed to roof with GPS, phone functionality, cameras etc. So something has had to be left out! Shame. I am stuck with old technology partly because it provides universal remote control capability!
Ah those new technologies...
OK, thanks.
Actually, that's what I expected... When you think all the things our new mobiles can do, you think they can do everything (I still expect the new feature that will feed me and be able to bring me some fresh beer when I need it !), thanks ooxteme.
That's a shame but, as you said, fingerstoo, when you put more and more things ON them, you can think they get rid of some of them.
But it's not really that important isn't it ?
Thanks anyway to both of you for these answers.
In my HP ipaq 6815 works fine, thanx
Thanks!!!!

I had one BenQ P50 WM2003 PPC which had a universal remote control application factory installed and had a very powerful irda port by which i could control devices even from the reflection of wall/celieng etc. I had copied the entire folder from the Cdrive where a file
nameled recon.exe along with some associated files were there I shall try to upload the entire folder in rar format. once I get it! It should be safe somewhere inside a hard disc but I'm unable to recall where did i store it as I've suffered from a severe BP Stroke on july 16th last year! I am still searching for it in all my harddiscs. it is worth mentioning that, Novii remote also worked fine with my BenQP50 despite the factory installed software being there and. after copying the entire folder to a HTC PPC running in WM5 with IRDA port worked fine though I do not remember the model number.

Though my BenQ P50 WM2003 had Agilent software's preinstalled 'Universal remote control' which had a powerful IR on top front side and I could operate my any devices like TV/cd/dvd/LDplayer/AC/light/fan/curtains etc with that preinstalled 'universal remocon' software from Agilent software Pte Ltd. version 1.31 from a distance of 10-15feet distance and interestingly this NRDelux from this forum also worked beautifully despite of being "Universal Recon" pre-installed. but same NDRDelux is not working on my i-mate Ultimate 8150 whice is having the IR Port on the same position as the BenQ P50 while pressing anysoft-button 'the infrared port is used by an another application' error displays

I even tried by copying the whole folder of 'Remocon' with Dll files from benQ P50 and pasting on my i-mate Ultimate8105 but no luck may be due to OS as BenQ P50 runs on WM2003 and the i-mate Ultimate runs on WM6.1 hope some one can help me to run a Universal IR foftware on my i-mate Ultimate 8105

Activate bluetooth from vb.net application

hi, I have made a small application to retreive nmea information from my bluetooth GPS on my HTC Tytn phone ( wm6 )
I developped it using microsoft visual studio 2008 pro avec wm6 pro sdk.
I would like to include a button to activate/desactivate the bluetooth from my application, any idear how I could do that plz ?
You'll find native functions and description in the SDK-Help.
Anyway, bluetooth is not simple to handle.
I'd recommend to use a freeware called 32feet to use bluetooth functions in .NET.
I's a library which does the wrapping of native DLL-functions to .NET.
You can find it on codeplex.com.
But keep in mind that it is not guaranteed to work properly, because there are 3-4 different bluetooth stacks on the market and the library does not work with all of them.
Hi,
if I good remeber someone on XDA have made some library to enable/disable BT/Wifi/Phone, and it was make in C# or VB... and there was near 1 or 2 month ago.
I don't know how to find his post but the good users could help you...
Sorry for this little help Hope you'll find !
I've been messing around with the 32Feet libraries (6.1 Touch Cruise with MS stack) and found them to be very useful and reliable so far. But the may be overkill for simply turning Bluetooth on and off. VJVolubilis (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis) may give you what you want but it looks to be only compatible with the MS stack too.

Would like to help, but I like to work on your code. So if you can post it then I will see if I could put these buttons on

COM-Terminal

Hi,
Is there any app for communicating with a serial Device like the Hyperterminal in WinXP?
I have an own-built Robot that has Bluetooth. I already coupled it with my HTC HD2 but I don't see any services for opening that COM-Port and sending or recieving data.
Any suggestions?
Other question:
I'm developing under VB 2008 and never tried developing for WM 6.5 for HTC HD2. Do I need any additional software/plugin/extension for my Visual Studio 2008 to create software for my HTC HD2?
Thanks.
BTW: Nice Forum
Nothing? It is not that hard to write a simple I/O Serial Terminal but I don't really want to waste time on it... so help would be great.

Ford Sync Hacking anyone?

Anyone here know anything about hacking the Ford Sync navigation systems? Im told its windows mobile based, maybe windows ce? I really dont know for sure.
what i really want to do is let my android take over the touchscreen so my phone will be displayed on the nav screen. Just cant find many people who want to experiment with their cars. Ill be willing to test but need help developing.
If anyone else is interested in this project please let me know!
FORD Sync is based on the Microsoft Windows Embedded Automotive operating system. It should be possible to pair this WinCE unit with your Android based phone via Bluetooth. Bluetooth enables information to be sent between electronic devices that have Bluetooth.
Im not talking about pairing the phone with sync, im talking about my phone taking over sync.
I, like many others, want to use and access apps from the touchscreen. For example, i like google nav. I want to have google navigation displayed on my sync touchscreen and audio from my car speakers. same for pandora, ect.
OR, car home?
I do not believe Bluetooth is fast enough to handle the video, so this project will likley require the device to be plugged into the usb port.
A start will be hacking in and installing a feature that displays video from the usb. next steps would be getting the touch screen to work with the device and support audio(audio can be via Bluetooth anyways)
I would be happy if you could shell out to the CE interface
I have done some programming on CE and XP Embedded and we used to program with almost a full desktop installed then at last minute before delivery to customer we would remove most of the windows interface except a blank desktop and an application launch icon only. I wish we could enable all of the modules in this release. Pretty much anything windows can do...
On Sync if we could still run the standard apps and shell out to use the functionality of CE or XPE that would be awesome. Then you could just use visual studio express and program away for free. (may have to buy CE plugin ) Many Apps are available already.
Oh well I doubt any of this will happen but I would even pay for the keys to unlock Sync from Ford if they offered it!
What about Raspberry Pi integration rather than an Android? If the nav could be used as a display and input interface, the possibilities would be endless. Where can we start?

Good thing i have 2.
Thats the big question, how to use the nav screen that way. The RP would probably be better since it will be way easier to add the touchscreen interface. I wonder if we could just configure the screen to have a 2nd input that can be switched back and forth? sound would be an issue but a good second step.
I know this is an old post but here is a link. Ford finally open sourced their information. http://openxcplatform.com/

[Q] Is there an option to unlock my car PC?

Hello everyone,
I have a new car PC - Roadnav s100, OS: Windows CE 6.0.
The car PC has the following ports:
USB for data and internet
SD card for navigation system
SD for data
AUX.
I want to install my own application on the car PC. For example install a new GPS.
But it seems that the system is "locked". There is an option to unlock the system?
By the way, Windows CE and Windows Mobile are the same technology?
Thanks !

I've noticed you want to install/run WAZE. Simply forget this, because WAZE is written to be used with smartphones (based on iOS, Android, or Windows Phone). You can't run WAZE on your Windows CE device
But you always can install/run a navigation software developed for Windows CE. Most of those in between are more than outdated. Their development already some years ago stopped.
Navigation software today mostly get developed for Android.
AFAIK, it exist in the WEB a pirated copy of iGO Primo2 (for Windows CE). Simply google for it ...
