Hi,
I am looking for a BT headset that will allow me to see who is calling before I answer the call.
I know the Jebra BT800 could do that, but it is discontinued...
I would appreciate any pointers / advice.

Sony Ericsson BT stereo headset HBH-DS980. Works perfectly on at&t Tilt. Music sound quality is not bad at all, its sound equivalent to the Sony wired headphones sell at a price of $20.
It also can control the play/stop and skip functions on Windows Media Player, HTC audio manager, Coreplayer 1.1.1, but NOT on Pocket Player 3.5.

The best so far is Jabra BT8010 (upgraded version of BT800) that when used with Jetware will give you full display of caller-id .

Thanks very much to both of you. I like the Sony and I live the fact that it can just hang on your neck without being noticeably visible (but I have one question -- does it have vibration alert) ?
I have considered the Jebra 8010 for a while -- is it as bulky as it looks? And secondly, does it have LCD display -- it doesn't appear to, so I assume the Jetware software will read out the incoming call numbers, etc? Is that the case?
thanks for your suggestions - MN

I have the Sony as well. Love it. It doesnt have any vibration option but if you have MS VoiceCommand all your commands and notifications come thru the headset no problem. The button on the cable on the left earphone also activates Voice Comomand so you can dial by name and stuff. It can also pair to one device while still being paired to your phone..so you can listen to your music on your laptop and still recieve calls. Very nice.

Brad, thanks very much for the endorsement.
I think I will use the VoiceCommand -- I bought an unbranded Kaiser -- does it already come with WM 6.0? or i have to install it separately.
In the absence of vibra alert, in what ways can you ensure privacy of incoming calls when the BT is on -- can you turn the ringer off on the phone, but still receive other alerts on the BT?
Secondly, I read elsewhere that the BT headset disconnects as you switch between Edge and 3G networks. Have you noticed this?
Thanks very much - MN
...............
Jabra BT8010 does has LCD screen to display contact/caller id. And it vibrates too.

Cayotte,
thanks very much for you input. Right, i know it has caller ID, but you would have to remove the headset everytime a call comes in to see who is calling - right?
Also, does the low volume issue with BT headsets affect either Jebra 8010 or the sony DS980?
thanks - MN
The Moto S705 will also do what you want. I had a set, but everybody said I sounded muffled. Your experience my vary. I really wished they would have worked out. It had a FM radio built in and I loved that feature.

I have an unbranded Kaiser as well (UK Model) and MS Voice Command is a separate purchase. (Look around in some of the other forums for the latest release because Handango's version is VERY old)
I turn my ringer off but have VC announce incoming calls. Other alerts (like high priority emails and appointments) are all announced via BT
I haven't noticed a disconnect on the headset when switching between 3G and Edge....been working fine for me.

Can some one with a Sony DS980 give me a few answers/confirmations:
1) Can you hear the phone conversation in both ears? I know the Motorola S9 can only be heard in one ear (left ear), but the HT820 can be heard in both.
2) Is the mic located in the part that hangs or is it part of the head phones? Is your voice clear to the other party? How about background noise?
3) Do the track titles show up on the display? I know installing Jetware will get back some of the features but does this work after installing jetwave?
4) How well do the headphones perform for listening to music? Would I be out of my mind to clip the connection and wire in my own 3.5mm adapter so I could use any set headphones?
Thanks!
Another recommendation for the BT8010 -- I picked one up at my local Fry's a couple weeks ago on a half-price special ($40 instead of $80). If they re-run that special, it's definitely worth picking one up -- handsfree/vibrate/callerID/stereo for $40 is damn hard to beat.

I have the HBH-DS970 which has an LCD display. The 980 apparently has an OLED display which looks invisible when not in use but sounds like it functions the same as the 970, so here's my experience with the 970:
1. Yes, in fact I will pull out the left earpiece sometimes (like in the car) so I can hear what's going on around me, because these in-the-ear earpieces really block outside sounds - and in a car technically you're not supposed to have both ears blocked, right? - but for taking walks with the dog, it is great!
2. a) Mic dangles from right ear. b) Usually voice is OK to other party, sometimes in car I hold it close to my mouth to help. c) that's why I do b).
3. a) Yes. b) Don't know as I don't use Jetware.
4. a) Very good sound. Not quite as clean as Shure i2c-T with my Wizard (wired headset with 2.5mm plug) - can detect Bluetooth hiss - faint. b) I wouldn't try it - I tried to cut and wire a headset and adapter once and it was an unmitigated disaster. The headphone speakers are really very good IMHO - the limitations are due to Bluetooth. Use it as is, or use a wired setup - that's my opinion.
Who was the genius that engineered this?

@Cayotte & MannyNoela: Yeah, what's the point of an LCD display that's stuck on your ear?
For those of us in the States who are lucky enough to live near a Fry's, they're offering the Jabra BT8010 for $39.99 through Tuesday -- half the usual price. Hard to beat that price for a headset that has OLED, vibrate, and stereo.
i have the HBH DS970 how in the world do i get Voice to work w/ it, and how do i get the LCD screen to display the caller number or name when comming in?
do i need jetware>?
ok great !!! i got all the functions working accept i dont have the Voice commands.... and i cant get the phone number or contact name calling displaying on the LCD screen. I have a HTC TOUCH, but i assume this is the same for all WM6 devcies?? what do i need to setup... i have VC 1.6 and i have the voice speed dial program and i recorded my voice there, but now ... what do i have to do to get teh LCD to display and to click the phone button and say like "call Dad" or "dial XXXXXX"????
ok got voice dial and voice callin to work... HOW DO i get the LCD to display the CALLER ID?? how? lol!
Just got the the Motorola T 605 Automotive Music and Hands-free System installed into my car. Works great with the Kaiser (I have the TILT) for both Hands-free and Wireless Stereo BT profiles. When connected with a vehicle specific adapter harness, the stereo is automatically muted for incoming calls, and conversation is played from front speakers only. A long press on the talk button even launches Cyberon Voice Speed Dial (which is provided with the TILT). When using Wireless Stereo and WMP, all skip/ forward/ back/ pause/ play functions work flawlessly. Provided BT is enabled on the kaiser before the ignition is turned on, the connection for both profiles is automatic. Very nice adition for those of us who own a car that did not come with factory BT.

Hi,
I happen to have the same car kit and my Kaiser doesn't find it!
My T605 is discovered and works flawlessly with my SonyEricsson K800i phone (both for call and streaming music) as well as my old HP IPAQ 5555 (obviously, only for music with this one).
On the other hand, my Kaiser works flawlessly with both Plantronics 590A and Jabra BT8010 in both modes.
So, what could be wrong? I have the latest Shap's ROM (4.31) on my Kaiser, didn't try it with the stock one.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks!

That's a tough one. Mine connected first time to both BT profiles with the 605. I do recall a limitation on the 605 regarding how many partnerships the T605 supports. Although it's a pain, I'd suggest clearing all partnerships from the T605, and the Kaiser, and then try and connect again. I'm using a TILT, but had no issues with either ROM in my sig.
Which is better? The T605 or the T505?

I think 605 requires professional install, but 505 doesn't
So I'm going to help my buddy install the T605 into his saturn Ion (04). The demo on the motorola website says you can buy a harness to make the phone call go through the oem speakers and not have to use the 5W powered speaker. Is this harness necessary or will this happen for you when you follow the install instruction?
Also, If this is not controlled by the aux port on the HU how will the music (A2DP) play through the system? There must be relays in the HF unit to do this? Or will I need to go through the aux port on the HU?
I have the IHF1000 in my car and that was a very easy install......Other than tapping into the OEM wires this should be pretty cut and dry? As long as you know what OEM wires to use?
Motorola has been completely useless as far as tech support goes.
For Motorola T605 and IHF1000 vehicle-specific adapter harnesses, try the selection from www.peripheralelectronics.com (their CelFi harnesses), or the drive&talk harnesses at www.nicestuffonline.com . A solution should be there somwhere between them for the ION.
As for the integration, connect the RCA L/R output from the T605 to an available MP3 or aux. input, or find an aux. input adapter for your vehicle (examples are from Blitzsafe, Periperhal Electronic's Aux2Car and others). If there is no specific adapter available for your vehicle, you could always use Scosche's FM-MOD01 FM modulator to bring the audio in DIRECTLY through the FM antenna port (vehicle-specific antenna adapters may be required). The in-line modulator works without static, unlike that of many FM broadcast/transmitter solutions.

As mentioned above, the easiest thing to do is start by sourcing the vehicle specific adapter from one of those companies in the previous post and go from there. I did that, and installed the t605 in my car in NO time. You just plug the adapter into the back of your stereo, plug the harness from the t605 to that, and then run the lines out for the mic and for the controls, then run RCA from the t605 to your AUX connection (either 3rd party aux interface or factory opening if you have it). It's freaking great. You're done in NO time. The handsfree is GREAT, and even better is that you can stream whatever you want from your phone... I'll take shoutcast and internet radio over paying for XM/Sirius any day of the week.

If you were able to run another moto unit you'll have no trouble with this... it just adds one connection for the audio.
I'm sure the answer is probably yes, but it helps clear things up for me to speak them out loud.
Here is what I want to have happen. I want to be able to put my Tilt in my car and have my car to play music from the Tilt through the car's speakers. I don't care whether it is through a wired connection or a wireless connection via Bluetooth or an FM transmitter. Will this do this fine?
Like I said, I think the answer is yes, but I would like someone else to confirm it. And I was going to get a separate Bluetooth headset to use in the car and just walking around. I'll still get that, but I think this should be fine when I'm driving in the car and I must take a call.
Final question. How is the sound quality coming through the speakers and how is the reception on the other end? Can they hear you fine?

It will work, but I think it's a bit overkill if you're looking to go that simple. If you're not hung up on BT why not just buy a basic AUX interface for your car with a 3.5mm jack on it, then grab the adapter to plug it into the bottom to the tilt? It's not as "cool" or "elegant" but heck, if you jsut want to play audio but don't want to stream it why make things hard?

For audio or phone calls?
It's great for audio.
Phone calls are good. Nobody every says they can't hear me, but sometimes if I'm at WOT or have the windows down I can't hear them because the volume output is a tad low. I have a loud car though, so that's more my fault than motorolas.

Wiring Harness
Hi...I have a 2007 Mazda6 with the factory Bose stereo system. I am looking for a 3rd party wiring harness so I can connect the Motorola T605 to the stereo. I have looked at the places mentioned in previous posts to find the harness, but have not been successful...this may be because I am not sure what I am looking for. If someone has any information I would be greatly appreciative...
Thanks!
i have a friend who has the nokia 97 and he showed me an app where he can use the phone as an FM transmitter, kind of like an ipod. Is it possible for the TP2 to do that? im thinking not because he antenna for the radio is in the headphones and not the phone itself like the nokia, but could we develop an app that can make the TP2 have an FM transmitter with the headphones plugged in to access radio?
I think it could make for a great and useful app.

The hardware needed to make it an Fm transmitter is not in the Tp2 and so this is not possible. Ive seen plug in devices that transmit whatever comes out of the headphone socket so this would be your only option i think.
i already use such a transmitter for my TP2.
but it isn't useful.
the transmitter need his own power supply and the TP2 will not be charge while the transmitter is pluged in....
Mic is crap, for talking inside the car very bad.

Im using the exact same thing for my car
Good enough for listening to music on my phone...maybe that's all you want
try a bluetooth a2Dp carkit fm transmitter... wow thats a mouthfull..
Anyway.. search for one of those on ebay. I've used them for years. The unit itself plugs in directly to a power outlet in your car. You use the bluetooth on your phone to transmit stereo audio to the unit which in turn broadcasts the audio to the car stereo. I like this cause.... well no wires. The units also have a "carkit" function so when a call comes in it routes the audio over the stereo too and uses a mic built in that you speak through. Pretty clear I have to say.
They range anywhere from 15 dollars to 60 dollars on ebay. I went with a lower end one and once this breaks (though I've had it for about 3 or so years now) I'll be going with a more expensive one. I've found, at least with the one I have, that when there is no audio actually being transmitted to the device the sound that is played through the stereo in the car is similar to that of an old fax machine, all be it a lot less annoying and loud. When I first started using it I used to just run a loop of white noise from my phone in windows media player and then use the built in audio player in manilla to play actual music... also really handy when driving and using tomtom or something on the phone. ALSO really handy when listening to pandora or slacker radio
Long story short.. look up A2Dp fm transmitter and you guys will be set!
For just listening to music in the car nothing beats the direct wire connection of a 3.5 mm connection, IMHO. But, if you would like a full featured alternative I'd go with an Alpine X10. It has BT for streaming music and phone calls. Also has a direct Ipod connection, which is it's main use.
I've heard nothing but good reviews from the Motorola T505
http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/t505/
Yeah I use a T505. It works well but is let down by the TP2s bluetooth stack. However music works fine
I've bought several FM Transmitters, not for my Tilt2 but for different cars without AUX input....do yourselves a favor and just get 3.5MM Stereo AUX Inputs if that is the sole purpose of your phone is to listen to music in your cars.... You can get a new radio with aux as cheap as $100-150 installed...
I sold all the FM transmitters i've bought, the only nice ones cost just as much as a radio installed, and you're not getting full sound quality, plus driving out of town sucks when you hit the biggest radio station of that town, just so happens to be the frequency you selected.
If it's for another purpose, my apologies..
p.s., you can mod them up to sound better on some, you can add antenna (just buy small gauge wire or an actual antenna) - search for your unit to see if it can be modded to cover more range.. I ran 12 feet of wiring all around my Honda Civic when I was in the FM Transmitter phase..
Goodluck
With my Touch Pro2, I was able to plug my phone into the aux port in my car via stereo cable, and I could still use the microphone. It seems that when I plug the Epic in, I get the sound... but the Microphone disables itself? Does anyone know of a way to fix this? I have looked at most settings but can't find anything.
I posted a similar issue about 20 threads down in this forum. My car has an aux and bluetooth for the phone. When aux is in use, the phone decides to disable the built in mic AND it doesn't route the calls over the bluetooth. 2 HUGE oversights in this phones design. Should be a simple software fix, but I'm not a good programmer.
I use my car's bluetooth hands-free which includes audio support (no AUX use required, though music seems to sound better wired). My only issue with this setup is that I cannot use speech recognition; that is to say, the microphonr doesn't wrk when the phone is pairred. I'll keep my eyes on this thread in case someone knows a fix.
Thanks!
Just an FYI, the Samsung Moment does this also. I believe it has something to do with the ability of using wired headsets with mics, so the built-in mic is disabled whenever something is plugged in, even if whatever you plugged in doesn't have a mic.
The Samsung Moment has this same issue, dangit. I was hoping this wouldn't. Is there a fix?
It is a matter of making a small app for the epic only, that over-rides the physical switch. Even better would be an app that detected when headsets were plugged in and it gave you options.
Where is the microphone located? Bluetooth, phone, headset
What would you like to use to listen to phone calls: Bluetooth, phone, headset
So, I was reading on another forum that this "issue" was not an issue on the Moment cj05 update. But turned into an issue on the cj14 update. Hey dev's that may be reading this. What is the possibility of finding the file in the cj05 update and overwriting it onto said file on the epic?
I have this issue as well.
It's definitely an issue with the Epic. When in my car, I'd have my EVO plugged into my Aux jack and could still talk. Not with my Epic. Boo hiss.
Hope it gets fixed... as this is a pretty big feature for me to lose.
I have not discovered a software fix, but this should be a hardware work around. Hands Free 3.5mm Adapter + Microphone, with 3.5mm pass through.
I am sure you could find alternatives if you do not like the one linked below.

have you tested this? does it work?
So I found something out.
As described before, when the phone is plugged into an AUX port in a car using a 3.5mm cable the microphone is disabled when you get a call.
However I found out that it is not disabled at all times. Even while the phone is connected to the AUX port. I tested using google voice search while playing music via AUX. I also tested using EverNote to record a note with an active call in the back ground.
Point is the microphone is NOT disabled, the phone app simply ignores it. Perhaps using a different phone app other than the one included would resolve this issue. At least its a software issue and not a hardware problem.

No I have not tested it. However I know the included headset with a microphone built into the cable work. Seems logical that it would work.

I have problem using the supplied wired headset. When placing a phone call,I can hear the other person,but they cannot hear me.I returned my first Epic. The second one has the same problem. THIS is a hardware isue. i tried using bluetooth headset, no problem. Only happens when using the 3.5mm port.

Actually, what you described sounds like a software issue. Considering the moment does the same thing after the c14 update and not before also points to a software issue.

Please read my posts above. It is a software issue. The microphone will still work...in other applications. It is only the phone app/dialer that mutes it.
I cannot fathom how Samsung would allow this, they include a Headset/Microphone combo with the phone, that does not work for making calls. That is like including a spoon with a hole in it with a bowl of soup.
Again it's definitely a software problem. Best way to get it fixed it to flood tech support with the problem till they are aware of it and issue a fix.
I read somewhere that if you use sasmung branded ones it works..but I have not confirmed it...
I noticed that when I'm connected to the cars bluetooth I can hear audio from my phone... Sadly the quality is terrible...
Is there anyway to send music to my car while still retaining good music quality?
the aux cable is proving to be a hassle.
Heard about a black berry bluetooth device they ppl on the mbforums use...
that must be your car that is crappy, because i stream BT audio from the phone to the car every time i drive, as it is easier to update my phone with the latest music i want to hear.
quality is perfect, car deck is a CZ509 10" sub, and yes the sound comes out loud and clear on all 6 speakers including the most beloved bass and sub boom bomm boom
if the car got no boom, it is boring to ride.
SGS is my #1 DJ phone, it rulez, yeah baby!
oh! oh! the best thing is, i luv that sweet voice of it, when it tells me the time of the alarm in the car, and if some one calls me, emails me, text me, it reads me all with that sweet lady voice of its
and it will automatically switch between music to hands free phone conversation, and back to audio when the call has ended.
my wife is actually jealous of my SGS as i seem to be spending more time in bed with the phone than with her.

comes with SGS? or you have other application to make that happen?
there are many apps for that, the build in one is vlingo (in samsung apps), and you can install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8461187&postcount=102
and there are even more apps to customize to talk back to the phone to write your SMS, and or dictate an emails for you like vlingo
the only trick is that most of these apps requires some voice training and customization to use them to its max potential.
try it, it's free
wtf really...
benz usually do slack on the entertainment aspect of their cars...
i mean damn that is weird... i have the phone paired with the car, conversations work fine... but as for audio... hmm
ill check out those programs though... maybe i was doing something wrong... :\
and yes loud clear music is great... nothing less than 192 for sure... the 8' stock harman kardon sub is ok... but i wish i had a 10 or 12 in there.
thanks still.
edit: any external bluetooth receivers that might work through a aux cable jack?
ignore the apps mentioned above, those are only for voice commands, and voice features.
back to the Audio Quality part of the conversation, check to see what features does your in car bluetooth supports, and see if it's BT 2.0 or something else
see if it supports the AVRP features, and A2DP
try different music, some music plays and sound better than others
the phone comes with BT 3.0 and it's compatible with older BT 2.0 and 1.0
you should get good audio quality if all things are paired up properly with the better BT compatibility.
check what other audio features does the car support in regards to mp3, enable those as well
stream play high quality mp3 on the phone to the car at least 160 and up
128 some times have hisses
the source of the mp3 must be pure like from CD, DVD or BD
cheaply recorded or ripped audio from radio, or internet streams sounds horrible in the car
I have a Parrot MKi9000 installed in my 2008 Passat (standard Highline Gala sound system & speakers) and the music streams beautifully over Bluetooth from the SGS. It's not an audiophile's dream, but the convenience beats everything. I'm more than satisfied with the quality.
Bluetooth audio works great in my Mondeo, superb call quality. However, it only works for voice, not music. Shame...
Beginning with Froyo, there is a new method startBluetoothSco (), which can be used to send and received audio to/from a bluetooth SCO headset while the phone is not in call. Of course, it's only for mono low quality sounds (16kHz or 8kHz) but it should allow user interaction via the car kit (reading sms, guidance or voice command, for example).
If your bluetooth car kit allows A2DP, the quality can be better, but you should not have problem to output sounds on the car audio
just found the blackberry device i was talking about
here is the link for anyone who is interested in streaming media to the car over bluetooth.

ok so this is what I need to use insted of connecting SGS over AUX port?
apparently ya...
only thing queer about it is that you have to power it using a usb.
but ya should be as simple as hooking that up to your aux jack... and pairing with your SGS...
im gonna grab one soon ill bump this when i get it.
There are also apps for this in the Market.
Super BT Mono trial version for Eclair (2.1)!
Super BT Mono trial version for Froyo (2.2)!

I think you are missing the point, the suggestion is well taken for whom ever though of using a mono headset to fake a stereo BT stream
but you do know we are talking about Streaming BT Stereo to a CAR audio system
streaming MONO will defeat the whole purpose of Streaming STEREO to the car audio system
right?
