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.
Hi,
Some background:
I'm currently working on a carputer project. Everything is working wonderfully and right now I'm going through the final phase of having my HTC Universal (WM6) phone use the car speakers and microphone as headset.
On my computer I am running on Widcomm BT ver 5. The Universal phone is running the MS stack. I managed to pair and connect successfully with my WM6 device. The headset works very nicely both ways, but with a problem:
Whenever a phone call comes in the phone automatically answers the call without even asking me. It rings once then answers. This does not happen while not using a BT headset nor does it happen with my regular portable Samsung BT headset. My universal is set to never receive calls automatically on all profiles. I'm assuming the problem is in the Widcomm driver but there doesn't seem to be anything I can change in the software settings.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem? I obviously don't want every single call that comes in to get answered. I wouldn't even mind answering the call from the phone itself (and not from the PC) as long as the voice gets routed from the phone to the car stereo with the external mic.
Thanks!

Hi everybody!
I've used several Nokia Symbian devices before my TouchHD and I've always used them with onboard navigation together with a bluetooth carkit.
Nokia 6600 + Parrot CK3500
Nokia N80 + Parrot CK3500
Nokia N80 + Parrot LS3400GPS
The great thing of this combination was, that every voice command from my navi software was transmitted over my car speakers and the radio was muted!
But with my Bury CC9060 and my TouchHD this great feature doesn't work!
1. Is there a special bluetooth protocoll needed?
2. How can I make sure wether it is the blackstones or the carkits fault, that I don't get voice commands over the car speakers?
3. When I start the MP3 Player in Manila the bluetooth carkit also keeps silent.
Nobody? Here are so many WM experts. Someone must have an answer!
Hello
What version of software are you running in the cc9060?
The latest is v1.74 and this works well with the Touch HD, all contacts are there only battery power level is not working on mine.
The problem you have might be that the car kit connects by default on A2DP and trys to output sat-nav and music via this, if you do not have the cc9060 connected to a aux input you will not hear the audio.
To get around this you can always disconnect the A2DP in the options of the phone ,Comm manager>Settings>Bluetooth>cc9060> then untick wireless stereo
then audio will come out of phones loudspeaker
I have my Touch HD and cc9060 connected to my Focus aux-in and use it as music player while running TomTom, the phone then overlays sat-nav directions over playing music they work well together, the touch screen music controls work well with manillla player and allow control of music without interupting tomtom
If you need to update cc9060 you can get new software from bury's website at
http://www.bury.com/en/hands-free-car-kits/system-bt-bluetooth-systems/cc-9060/software.html
hope this helps
CC9060 Software is already the latest: 1.74
I found these checked bluetooth options:
Wireless Stereo
Hands Free
I'll give that a try and uncheck Wireless Stereo!
Do you already know, that bury will release an actice cradle for the Touch HD in June/July 2009! Then I am able to load the battery while driving.
Update:
With unchecking bluetooth stereo, the navi software uses the phone speakers, whereas it is connected to the CC9060.
But there are still two disadvantages:
- Radio ist not muted when a call comes in.
- Not as loud as the car speakers
I've written to bury and they've answered me the same:
The device must be connected to AUX to hear something over the car speakers.
One question is still unanswered:
What is the reason, that Nokia devices where able to transmit the navigation commnands over the car speakers?
Bury mentioned, that the handy must support this!
Hi Pal
I have the parrot Ck3100 and it would play the sat-nav commands via the stereo speakers with my N95 but won't with the Blackstone. So it must be WM or the Touch HD that is not sending commands to the carkit. I also noticed that with my N95 when I got a text the sms alert was played through the car speakers the touch Hd does not do this.
Hope that helps and if you find a solution I would love to know.
Sully
Damn! Is it the handy operating system or the handy-brand?
As you mentioned already your symbian device is doing it right. But the WM6.1 device fails!
Maybe I should test it with the new omnia HD (also symbian OS) if it works!
Please report back if you find ourt anything more, I am sure it must be possible maybe with a reg tweak.
Sully
At the moment I don't see any possibilities to get that to work.
The manufacturer of the my new bluetooth car kit (bury) said, that it is very seldom, that a mobile phone sends navigation commands to the carkit. They are also not testing this feature, when they are adding a mobile phone to their supported phones list.
Should't a carkit in handsfree mode work as a headset?
Even Parrot was unable to say which device is generally sending every sound to the their carkit. But they said, that their carkit is reacting on EVERY activity from the mobile phone, when it is in handsfree mode.
We need more feedback from carkit / navigations users to finde the weak point!
Hi Pal
Just been reading about vjvolubilis and btmusic and some diamond users have managed to make it work. I have just installed it and will try it out on the way home tonight.

So those are the right apps? Are they free and maybe also available here?
I could test them, too.
they are free to use, i had some success with vjvoubilis. it worked but kept muting the stereo even though there were no commands from tomtom. for btmusic you need .net
sully
btmusic wants to have 2.0. But in my Rom .net 3.5 is already included. Does it work with you?
EDIT: After installing v2.0 via activesync btmusic starts but then a message "license expired 01/09/2008" appears.
I had to download .net 2 to make it work, the phone still works fine after installing version 2 and I am running duttys 2.7rom. Link for .net2 found on this page under requirments http://maxmobilesoft.com/index.php/software/btmusic
Sully
I thought in v3.5 v2 is icluded.
Get it to work now, too. But:
How did you solve the license expired message? Setting back the system language is starting the programm but not a solution for always.
use the link I provided above, you have to register to download but that version doesn't have licence problem.
Sully
Thanks a lot, but I've registered now, too. The app works.
But I am to tired to walk down to the car and test it. Maybe in a few hours after sleeping for a while.
go to sleep man and check it in the morning, there is no rush.
Sully
i cant get my hd to work with my intergrated bluetooth either.
i have tried software call JETware, that many people talk about... still my phone will not ask for the pairing passcode(password or key).
Any help would be great.
thanks
btmusic didn't solve my problem.
Igo8 did not talk to me via bluetooth and the manila music player, too.
Hello all,
Does anyone have a recommended bluetooth car kit which they have successfully used with the Magic? I'm talking about any of the "newer" generation of car kits, which sychronise your contacts on the car kit display...
Anyone?
I've got Parrot CK3000 Evolution and it does work with Magic, however, there are two problems with it:
1. Sometimes (more often than not) the phone is connecting to Parrot after 4-5 minutes, even if it is the only phone registered with the kit.
2. It is not possible to transfer phonebook to the kit, and even if I transfer it from laptop, then the kit still refuses to do voice dialing (built-in one, not on HTC).
Contact synchronysing works fine on my Peugeot 207, which has the parrot CK 4100 device.
But I have another problem, the sound isn't transfered to the car speaker despite the fact that all wheel-on-command are working....
any ideas...
I've got the same malfunctions with my CK4100 and my HTC Cruise. I'm testing with my Rhodium.
I've read about updating the BT CarKit (KC 20/KC21, sogt 4.8->5.1) to fix it...
Have you any new about that?
I've got a Nokia bluetooth car kit (CK-7W) and while this worked perfectly with my N95 (obviously) and works for incoming calls on the HD2 there's one problem with using it for outgoing calls.
To make a call with the Nokia you hold down the button on the car kit for a second and then this triggered voice dialling. However, holding down the button while connected to the HD2 mutes the stereo and then just seems like it's trying to do something then goes back to stereo again. Now I'm presuming that as the HD2 doesn't come with voice dialling (why oh why?) there's no button for the hands free kit button to map to.
I've installed Cyberon but as this still doesn't work off a button press it also doesn't work.
What I'm wondering is, is there any way to map Cyberon (or whatever other voice dialer you use) to a button and then get that button to be picked up by the Nokia car kit?
Not hopeful but as being able to make calls hands free is generally the point of a hands free kit, any help would be appreciated.
Any solution?

Did you find any solution to this issue? I facing the same.
I am in the same boat, anyone help please? All I want it to do is play and receive audio through the car kit
thanks

I have the same kit and have found the following:
1. If you receive an incoming call and press the Nokia Car Kit button it answers the phone and the call comes through the kit speakers.
2. If you answer an incoming call with the phone handset rather than the car kit button the phone answers but the sound comes from the phone rather than the car speakers.
3. If you try to initaite a call be pressing the car kit button the HD2 doesn't understand whats going on and sits there waiting for a timeout.
4. If you initiate a call through the phone (in a cradle to maintain hands-free laws) then the phone dials and then switches on the car kit so that the call comes through the car speakers.
I had to do this with my Orbit II since I never got round to using voice tags for pressing the Nokia button.

I was always under the impression that the Nokia CK-7W does not support A2DP.
This feature only really came out in the later models such as Ck-20, ck-100 etc.
Do bear in mind that ck-7w is approximately 5-6 years old. I am not even sure waht bluetooth revision and call handling firmware is running in the hf-5 module box.
I do know that people started to have problems with ck-7w with the newer series of phones so most of them upgraded their kits.
If you do look for an upgrade option, you may wish to check out parrot ck 3100.
A lot of our customers have used these with no problem, and those that did have a minor problem went to parrot support and bluetoothed the newer firmware to the kit to resolve it.
I do not work for Parrot in anyway. These are just my personal findings organising car kit installations for various corporate customers.
I have a CK-7W and it works fine with MS Voice Command
HTH
I've got an HTC HD2 from my Company. Now i wanted to connect it to my Nokia CK-7W installed in my car. The problem is, that the phone does not find the Carkit!
Does anybody know a solution?
Thanks!
