XDA II Mini car kits

I'm looking at XDA II Mini hard-wired car kits for the hands-free talking on the phone. As My wife has a Nokia, I've decided that a BT solution would be best, and was looking at the BlueAnt Talkpad, but was told by the installed I was going to go with that:
1) It can only store one pairing at a time, so will need to re-pair when changing phones;
2) The mute function will not work with my sound system (current model Pajero/Shogun/Montero), even with a relay.
Reading some messages, it was mentioned that the Motorola HFW8000 will work, and it will memorise several pairings. I've now discovered that has been discontinued, and what appears to be the 98500 replacing it. Has anyone used it with both the XDA II Mini and a Nokia, and does it work?

Hello,
I have the BT carkit Parrot CK3000. It works perfectly with my S100 and my collegue's Nokia.

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 bluetooth ck3100

Does any one have one of these bluetooth car kits and if so does the HD pair successfully?

Yes works not problem with mine - much better that with my tytn ii. calls fine both from parrot & phone answer and hang up & contacts all OK.

you should try the THB CC9060
works very well with my HD and you can A2DP the music to the audio input of the ICE

CK3100
I have S2U2 installed, and use a Parrot CK3100 Kit, and have no problems whatsoever making or receiving calls! I've used several WM devices on the same kit and never had a problem!

Hi,
I have a parrot and I also do not have any connection at all. The parrot keeps asking me for a password.
I have read that you can update the parrot device with bluetooth, so I will try it and I will let you know...

Yes S2U2 installed and no problems, if you have never updated the firmware on the parrot it may be worth looking at that, I had to upgrade it when using my tytn ii as it kept dropping - after the upgrade problems disappeared.

I have 3100,HD and S2U2 and no problem at all.
But I updated to the last rom of Parrot's hads free (look for in his web).
It has few improvements, one of the with WM phones and an other one, very important for me is the possibility to increase the characters cize (for the contacts) in the screen (they were too small before).
Try it

Yup, I have an HD with S2U2 and no problems.
I updated the firmware of the CK3100 about a year ago. When was the last firmware update released?

I have a Parrot 3200 in my car and it took several attempts to get it to hook up. Used to have a 3100 in the wifes previous car - IIRC my diamond took a few goes hooking up to that also (the p/w is 1234 for those IIRC) I found that after an unsuccessful attempt, a soft reset then try again and it worked first time - might be worth a shot?

Latest version is:
CK3100 : version 4.18b

Hi,
Found the solution to my problem. I had already 5 phones in the list .
Removed one and paired the HD Touch without any problems...

Hi,
I also used the parrot ck3100 in combination with Touch HD. First it didn't work. Also had already 5 paired devices ;-). After removing one it still didn't work. Updated the Parrot with my laptop and the Parrot update device and now it works splendid!

great to hear, same problem, just downloaded the software will let know results.

Is it not possible to upgrade using our HD's? I'm not sure the Bluetooth will work on my laptop with it having Windows 7 on it...

I have got 3200color. it's paired successfully. But for the contacts i am not sure since I have it transfered to 3200Color before.

Okay, it all worked fine. That's actually the second time I've updated the firmware... not sure I notice any differences.
Has anyone used the VCF creator?

Bluetooth pairing problems on Infiniti/Nissan

Has anyone had any problems pairing their X1 with any Nissan or Inifniti cars? There seem to be some mumblings on the web about their cars and WM6 devices and I've had no luck getting it to work on my '08 G35. Thanks.

bluetooth pairing
i just checked the aproved phone list for your g35 and the x1 is not aproved by infiniti. only certain phones will link to our cars others will not

I have an 08 G35 and have no prob. pairing it with my car. How are you pairing this up with the car?

it also depend if you both have navagation or not

I don't have the navigation so I just click the phone button, tell it I want to pair a new device, and have my X1 start searching. At least now I know it can be done. Thanks for the reply

Well... I do have the navigation. So maybe the pairing process is a little different. But it should work though, it even allows me to download the whole phonebook into the car. Something my other phones in the past did not allow me.

Managed to solve this now.
Of course both Merc & SE didn't have any good solutions.... so had to continue googling & XDA-ing... This is what I did:
i.) Jetware, as I posted earlier has been removed.
ii.) I still had the SAP Profile addition downloaded from one of the forums in XDA on.
iii.) Change Registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Sys\COD
the default is 5898764 (Decimal) which is "Telephone (Smartphone)" which you would think would work. Changed to 5374476 (Decimal) which is a normal phone.
iv.) Restarted the phone.
v.) Started the pairing process from the car - failed as per before.
vi.) Started the pairing from the phone, and they work!!
Now, they pair automatically as how they would before....

this is how i got mine working with my pioneer deck.
here's the link to the SAP Profile he was talking about.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=997872&postcount=166
hope this works for you.

which PIoneer do you have?
I have the DEH-P5900IB and a BT adapter, and i can't get my X1 connect.
All my previous phones worked fine.
it looks like the X1 won't let me pair without passcode, and the radio says Error.
Do you mind explaining exactly how you did it?
Thanks

i have the DEH-790BT.
what i did was after i changed what i mentioned above, then i set my deck to be able to be noticed by other bluetooth devices, then added it through my X1. After I added it through my phone it said successfully connected on my deck and the phone displayed it connected as wireless stereo and hands free. now the only weird thing was it was trying to connect as both the wireless stereo and hands free which seemed to mess with the deck, so I had to turn off my ignition and turn my car back on for it to actually recognize the connection fully. oh and the passcode if you connect through the deck to phone like I did it should be default '0000' but i would check your manual just to be safe, and if your connecting through your phone to the deck (which i haven't tested so I don't know if it works) you can pick your own passcode, which i suggest just making 0000 or nothing.

I have a problem also with my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)
I can pair with my Nissan Qashqai carkit but soun dis very bad, and the caller on the otherside doesn;t hear anything.
Strangly, but try, when during a call i switch from carkit to phone and back (using the options in my carkit/buttons on stearing wheel) everything is fine!
Checking the internet learned me that this is related to the bluetooth stack (or settings) in WM6.1 (and 6.5 also)
So does anybody have any idea how to solve this, maybe by registry changes or maybe by even "downgrading" the Bluetoorh stack to 6.0 or maybe even 5.x.
Maybe it is also possible to replace the complete MS stack for an other stack?

Bluetooth pairing problem with 2.2

I have 2.2 official, rooted (315) working with the performance upgrade.
Each time I get in to my car, although I have previoulsy paired the phone with the cars bluetooth, it asks me for the password, as if the phone doesnt store the it from one use to the other. Once I put the passord in it works fine.
On my other car it has paired fine and remembers it each time. I don't have to redo the password.
the thing is I was using Froyo 2.2 on my previous phone, an HTC Desire and didn't have this problem on either car.
Is this a phone or car issue and if it is the former, do I need additional software?

I have now flashed Steve's 1.5 Rom and the issue is still there.
What I do not understand is that the HTC Desire was fine on 2.2 but with the Streak it is there, I am asked to input my pairing password everytime I get into the car.
Does the Streak handle its bluetooth differently to the HTC? Is there an app I can use?

Has anybody had a similar problem?

Sorry mate no issues whatsoever with mine and the parrot mki9200 handsfree kit. I'd suggest fiddling around in the phones bluetooth options, and maybe delete the partnerships both on the phone and on the handsfree.

Other tha turning the bluetooth off and on there aren't any other 'settings' that I can find. Its there an equivalent 'tweaks' type as app as you get with win mo that might have some extra settings?

The only BT problem I've seen, is with mine...
318 "stock", no other mods.
If I have wi-fi enabled & connected to a wi-fi hotspot, or my home router,
BT conversations will cut in and out, until I turn wi-fi off.

now dont take my word as the word of god as I started androiding since yesterday in the evening only but:
when in car, activate the connection between your handsfree and your phone, then goto bluetooth settings in your phone, tap on the connected device, there will be a bunch of further settings (like what services it would use, etc.)
i think that in your situation however the best advice would be deleting the pairing details both from the phone and from the handsfree.

I usually don't have this problem with my parrot mki9200 handsfree kit, but I have experienced similar things in the past, but that was only when my phone spazzes out and error occurs. Can't remember what errors like but it's usually when random things start force closing and stuff, and the phone is due a full reboot (not forced to reboot but manually rebooted just to refresh the phone) or I need to repair for whatever reason. I either just have to re-enter the passcode and I'm off or when I try to repair the connection, it would connect straightaway without asking for a passcode, but then if I unpair the connection, the system would then prompt me to enter a passcode and entering the passcode would connect the devices together again (even though I'm trying to unpair them).
My advice would be to try doing a fresh pair by establishing a full and stable connection (so probably after you've entered the code and are connected) then unpair on both the phone and the your car kit, then power both systems down (car so the hands free kit powers off and the phone), then start them up again and establish a fresh pair connection and see if that helps. Other than that, I would suggest seeing if there is any firmware updates for your hands free kit cos it might not be fully compatible with the Dell Streak even if you are running 2.2 (I had to do this with my system as it would constantly randomly disconnect then reconnect itself but this went away after a firmware update).

My car s hands free its one of those with no settings, it's just there constantly on ready to pair mode and just adds any phone is in range if that phone is in discovery mode. Its just always like that so it never has a settings section, you just do it on the phone.
My two previous phones, an htc desire with 2.2 and a htc legend both connected flawlessly without any of the pairing issues.
I took the car to the dealer and he said there were no upgrades for it so it is really frustrating to think that the Streak is running the same software as the other phones but for some reason in its architecture it us not compatible with my car. The other annoying thing is that on my other car it works perfectly.

Yeah bluetooth can be a major pain in the a55
Sorry to say, but as an extreme measure, hard reset might resolve..

If I use titanium back up can I quickly restore everything as it is here after a heard reset? What is the best way to do this?
