I found that some WM based all-in-one GPS navigation devices have build-in bluetooth hands-free function.
You can connect it with cell phones via bluetooth to dial and answer phone calls while navigating using the phone UI and build-in speaker/mic on those devices.
I wonder if there is any software yet in the market can make regular PPCs(w/o phone function) do the same thing.
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.

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.

Hi Pal
vjvolubilis and btmusic
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
Hi all!
When connecting my Leo to my car audio system (Ford) via Bluetooth it connects the handsfree and audio profile. The bad thing: As soon as connected the music tab is opened putting other running programs (like navigation software) into the background.
Is there a possibility to switch this behavior off?
With my HTC Diamond I could solve this issue by installing "T-Back's Bluetooth driver", but unfortunately this does not work on the Leo
Another thing I would like to know is if there is the possibility to configure the sound output per application. For example I would like to connect my Leo with the Ford audio system with handsfree & audio, but let my navigation device still use Leo's internal speaker for navigation commands and POI warnings.
Does anyone know a tool or registry keys for such configuration?
I searched quite long for a solutions but could not find any
My Leo has the stock ROM 1.66.407.1 GER, Radio 2.06.51.07
THAAANX!!
need solution for this too...whould be so good to have any idea?
Hi
is it possible to connect my HD2 Android phone to 2 different devices at the same time?
i am used to do this with my WM6.5.
the reason for this is that i use a separate bluetooth speaker for navigation (stereo profile) and for telephone i use the audio system in my car.
when i try to do this with the android build it always disconnects the second device.
any help is appriciated
I have a motorcycle intercom system that worked flawlessly when my HD2 was running WinMo 6.5. I could make/receive phone calls and also hear GPS alerts via bluetooth. The intercom system is not A2DP, but WinMo handled things fine. I don't remember if I tried streaming any other audio, but I'm pretty sure that worked as well even though it wasn't in stereo.
I'm now running HyperDroidGBX-v12 (Gingerbread) and I have it paired with the intercom system, but I'm only able to use the audio features for telephone. I tried iGo8, Google Nav, CoPilot etc. , but none of the GPS audio will come through via bluetooth.
I understand that most bluetooth audio works on the A2DP protocol. My HD2 will send ALL audio through bluetooth when I'm using it in the car. I understand that my intercom system doesn't use A2DP audio, however, Windows Mobile didn't have any problems sending the GPS audio to the Scala unit, so why can't Android do that?
In the case of bluetooth implementation, phone to headset communication for calls is usually handled by the HSP (headset profile) or HFP (hands free profile) or a combination of the two. Is there some way to get Android to work correctly with HSP or HFP for non-phone related audio?
Thanks
