I have a Bury Technologies blue tooth hands free kit in my truck. It always worked fine with my HTC Tilt. I can get my focus to show that is connected with the kit but nothing works beyond that. Anyone have trouble with older hands free devices and been able to get them to work?
I have a 2008 Nissan Altima with a built-in Handsfree kit. My Focus pairs with the Altima, but is completely unusable. I think this has to do something with the choice of Bluetooth stack that is used. My old Verizon XV6800 and AT&T Tilt2 worked with the Altima and used the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack. Unfortunately, both of those phones pretty much sucked when I used bluetooth headsets. My AT&T Tilt (original) and my Focus both don't work with the Altima and I know that the Tilt uses the Microsoft Bluetooth stack. I *think* the Focus uses the same stack as well. With BT headsets, the original Tilt and Focus sound MUCH better than the two phones that I owned that were on the Widcomm stack. I've given up on the Altima working with this phone because I don't anticipate Nissan releasing a firmware update for it. If you handsfree kit has an upgradable firmware, it might be worth checking into.

Hi chaps,
Ive got a brand new XDA2 2 weeks ago and I bought a Bluetooth GPS receiver from these guys:
http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI...ex_gensales&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50
Works perfectly without patching, hotwiring or standing on my head - NICE 1!
My question is, can anyone recommend an incar bluetooth handsfree kit rather than headset that works with the xda2???
And is it true that I can run 2 bluetooth devices at the same time if I patch my xda with the now world famous bluetooth patch featured on this forum?
Thanks guys...

I am running tomtom 2 with the 2.09 gps driver and also a bluetooth headset at the same time without any patch.
ahhhhhh....
so you *can* run more than one device now *without* patching hhhmmmm.... ahhhh... cool, what model is your headset? I really want a bluetooth car kit which detects the phone and takes control when i get into the car but it'll be good to know a headset that definatly works.
Thanks man
I have a sony-ericsson hbh-200 which works ok but only for answering the phone, also it needed rebonding many times. I am now using a Skypower EZ232 ez clip which works the same but re-connects after going out of range, I am as I type, linked via activesync over bluetooth to my pc, I have internet working on the xda2, my bluetooth headset is also working and I also have tomtom2 working using gpsmart gps bluetooth receiver, so more than one device is definitely ok without any patches.
top BT Carkit: Parrot CK2000 or later

Thanks guys.......

Nokia CK 1-W doesn't work
I've tried the Nokia CK 1-W carkit, but this carkit doesn't work properly with the MDA II. Nokia only supports the handsfree profile and the MDA II is only supporting the headset profile.
The headset profile has got less features than the handsfree profile. I know that Sony Ericsson and Parrot supports both profiles. When you want to have supported all handsfree features by your carkit you need the handsfree profile!
Does anybody knows an update to fix this problem?
After reading and trying nearly everything I have read on these and other forums I am still unable to get my XDA II to work with my bluetooth handsfree kit, The handsfree kit is a Nokia CKW-1, I have installed Bluetooth tools and tried this route but that didnt/doent work, I am running xda2.hery.mod.a Rom 2.06.00WWE Radio 1.18.00 Protocol 1.337.38, I am more than happy with it all aprt from the fact I have to carry another phone to connect my carkit, and then end up switching sims all day long so I can use the XDA for remote desktop and then taking it out whilst I am on the move so I can take calls
Any pointers at this stage would be greatly appreciated
TIA

I have the exact same problem with my motorola h700 carkit!!!
I have the version of rom on qtek2020.
P.S: The headset of platronics works fine...
Plz check this forum as there are many old threads on the BT carkit issue.
The (standard) MS BT stack on Himalaya does NOT support the handsfree profile that most carkits use.
It only supports the headset (for...headsets) and serial-port profiles (for e.g. gps).
There is a Parrot carkit that can be configured to use the headset profile however.
Himalaya was one of the first devices to use the MS BT stack. Nowadays with WM5 everybody is and now they also support more profiles (incl. handsfree)
Upgrade to the WM2003SE (Second Edition) ROM from buzzdev.net. That supports "handsfree" profile as well as headset. It works just great with my Parrott bluetooth car kit, two Nokia & Motorola bluetooth ear pieces and my TomTom bluetooth GPS!
(Use WM2003SE rather than WM2005, as this will still run all your existing WM2003 applications whereas some WM2003 apps don't work on WM2005 (such as the Safecom wifi card or Tom Tom Navigator v3)
youre right if you mean the 2.20.07 (chinese translated to english) rom.
That one does support headset, handsfree and serial port.
Just got a bluetooth module for my car's hand's free kit and while I can pair with it ok and use it to dial out and pick up calls, once the call connects it doesn't pass through the voice - it still comes out of the phone (XDA Exec). I've been through all the bluetooth settings and double-checked it's set up as a hands-free adapter, but I'm still getting nowhere.
Anyone got any clues before I bin this increasingly poor excuse for a phone and get something that works?
If you decide to "bin" your phone for cheap, let me know.
I have exactly the same problem with my exec and a Parrot bluetooth handsfree system. It worked perfectly well before I upgraded my phone to the latest ROM (1.30.107).
According to Parrot, I need to upgrade the ROM on my handsfree adapter. This is apparently an issue with Windows Mobile 5. You may need to do the same thing.
I haven't upgraded my Parrot system yet so can't comment if the update truely fixes the problem, but I was working perfectly before upgrading the ROM on my phone.
Ah nuts...
The bluetooth module for my hands-free kit has only just been released, so I can't see any ROM updates being available soon. Even then it will almost certainly require an expensive visit to the (probably clueless) dealers.
I currently have the Cingular 8525 (HTC Hermes). I had to downgrade from Mobile 6 to Mobile 5 because the Bluetooth Headset profile under Mobile 6 failed to work correctly with My Nissan Sentra's Bluetooth hands free system.
Mobile 5 works perfectly while 6 does not give me any audio.
I will really appreciate it if anyone who owns a Kaiser/Tilt can share his experience with his car Built in System. I will get one in a heartbeat if this issue is confirmed to be resolved on the Kaiser.
The other cars that I know others had an issue with are from the French Citroen Peugeot and Renault
Thanks
I went the aftermarket route, installing a Sony MEX-BT5000 headunit in my car. It pairs in both handsfree & A2DP with my old Wizard & new Tytn II. BT performance is better than any headset I've ever used; no static at all.

I got the little sister of the BT5000 the MEX-BT2500 which don't have caller Id and does the same thing for 1/2 of the price.
You guys have no problems with your Kaiser and the MEX-BT5000??? I'm getting all kinds of echo, and low volume reports from people I'm talking to. I know the problem is with the Kaiser because my old RAZR works fine.
Hi
Did anyone manage to replace the HD's Microsoft BT Stack with the Widcomm (Broadcom) Bluetooth stack? Are there known issues?
Thanks
Are there any replacement BT stacks at all for the default M$ bt stack?
Jetware.
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/
Touch Pro 2 seems to have a different stack then MS but also I heard that its hardware was different. My friend's TP2 seems to be better with A2DP then my HD. The addon mentioned in the above thread did not make difference to me besided showing the time on my AD2P headphones.
I tried the JetWare software already, but it did not work for me. My bluetooth works great to connect with my comp, and other phones, But can't use a hands free car kit. Have a Kenwood radio in my car and a Navigon gps. When connecting to either one, the bluetooth on my TouchHd will just suddenly turn off within a minute (never have more than 1 on at any given time to make sure it is not an interference issue). I know both these hands free sets work, I can connect my wife's T-Mobile dash, and my I-Mate PPC to both with no problem and perfect functionality. Kenwood's website shows compatibility with the touch pro and touch diamond. Are the BT stacks on those any different? I asked HTC and their tech support just said that kenwood does not say that it is compatible. I would think though that even just the basic hands free should still work though and not shut off on it's own.
Any suggestions or help would be very appreciated!

Is this possible at all?
What's the difference between the bluetooth on the Touch pro and the bluetooth on the Touch HD? Kenwood shows full compatability with the Touch Pro and my car radio, but does not even mention the Touch HD, and mine will not work with it. The bluetooth on the Touch HD shuts off right after it connects to the radio. Is there a difference in the bluetooth stack? If so, can it be ported? Is there a bluetooth hardware difference? Is it just a software thing on the phones themselves that might be fixable?
