Probably.
At home I connect to my home phone over Bluetooth and at the same time to a Bluetooth speaker. Your phone should have Bluetooth connections for phone, media, and data sharing.

So i need to un-assign DATA from the car , and assign it to the Garmin. I`ll see how that goes..

Again, probably. The data to the car is for phonebook migration so your car shows who is calling you. But that should be a one time operation.

hi there,
i have a o2 xda mini s 2 and a parrot ck3200 in my car. its all perfect when connected, phone book, calling etc etc. However, when i start the car i have to go to settings, bluetooth, and click set as head set to get the phone to pair with the parrot. If anyone could tell me how i could set it to pair automatically once i get into the car it would be great.
thanks

I'm glad you solved this. Basically the little program is helping bluetooth with pairing phone with other devices, also is adding signal strength bar and provider name.
I have a Sony BT2500 bluetooth headunit in my car and I paired my Touch to it without any problems. The only issue I am having is that when I get back into the car it automatically re-connects the phone BT function but will not automatically reconnect the BT Stereo/AD2P function. Is there are way I can set it so that it will auto connect both?

I saw this on another forum, the op stated that if you press the number 6 on the head unit it will cause your bt-2500 to activate the bt audio connection with your touch. I haven't tried it yet, but will when I get home. I've always had to go into BT settings on the touch and hit refresh so I hope this works.

I made the same mistake. For six months I though it was not compatible according to some of the reviews. Then one day, out of boredom, I read the manual. Yes, I supposed to press number 6 when I get in the car. There is the saying "Read the f* manual". Amazingly how many time I found this true.
When I connect to the car stereo, I set it to phone only, not media and it works fine, ouputting the sat nav voice via the phone. When I reconnect, it again connects both phone and media. It's driving me mad, any ideas?

I connect to my Parrot MKI9200 car kit and have no issues like this, it always connects for phone and voice from CoPilot comes out of the phone. I haven't changed any settings
That's interesting - does the parrot support music streaming? Could you check the settings of the connection please? If you tap and hold where it says Parrot, it shows which services are connected.

Just checked... The only part that is ticked is phone. Media is not ticked. As I don't stream media from my phone to my car kit, I don't want this ticked. If I tick the box, CoPilot alerts actually come out of the car speakers.

Yours works the way I want mine to. For some reason though, even if I turn off media, the next time it connects it will connect both media and phone. Weird.
Again, thanks for your help. I'd really like to find a solution to this, it's really annoying.
One thought - is yours a sim free one, T-Mobile or Orange? Mine is T-Mobile.

Mines sim free. What Car Kit do you have? Might be something to do with that?

It's an Alpine 400bt, which is an add-on unit for Alpine stereo's, in my case a 9887r. The bluetooth unit is actually made by Parrot I believe.
It could be something to do with it, however it used to be OK using Windows Mobile.
another bluetooth question
I see you guys mentioning some bluetooth settings in the posts above - where are they found?
I have a problem that once connected to my car phone system by BT, the keypad in the car stops working which means I can't respond to voicemail etc. My other phone is a Touch HD which works fine.
Are there settings to select different profiles like you can with Win Mo?
I'm new to Android and all I can find are the HTC settings under Settings\Wireless Controls\Bluetooth Settings but these don't help
Thanks in advance
Edit: just reread and see I need to tap and hold the connection, so I'll try this later...
There are a lot of problems with carkit connections & the HD2.
I tried several things to get it working without success.
When I try to connect to the JVC KD-AVX44 it connects but give no sound at all. (making 2 connections, handsfree & stereo audio)
Then I tried the registry tweak mentioned into this forum and had success once. I was very happy because also the title track was shown onto the JVC display and also the phone was functioning ok both ways.
The sound trough AD2P was perfect. Only one time.
After that i get a lot of disconnects.
Then I tried to make only connection with the phone function and this is working ok now. When I want to make the connection trough AD2P then the problem is back. Also when you make it without making the phone connection
So I think the problem lies into the stereo connection. For instance when you skip a track onto the JVC then the connection will be lost and reconect again and giving 2 seconds of sound and then it's quiet again.
Also when to 2 connections exists the phone is blocked by incomming calls because it's thinking it's connected so the earpiece & mic are dead at that time. And also the radio.
Did you try the LineSpeed setting to 256 in the AV key of the Widcomm registry settings ?
Don't know if it could help in your case but it did for me, I don't have disconnects with my Sony headphones anymore and sound is better.
Bluetooth
Ok thx I will give it a try and post the results.
which registry tweak did you applied first, cause i too keep having issues...?
tweak
Change Registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Sys
Add the DWORD setting COD=5374476
This makes devices see the HD2 as a 'Normal' phone
Do I have to add this line somewhere? I found the AV key into widcomm but the line was not there

Try turning WiFi off on the phone, it makes a big difference on my IO Play system.

Ok i make this in my BMW X5 and one of problems is solved - HD2 working correct when i am on call and power the car, but i have another problem - after 5 - 6 min on call Bluetooth connections is droped and i can't lisen nothing from Car or for Phone - i must to press Menu and switch off Hands free to continue conversation.
Ok but are you also making stereo connection. I only have the handsfree conected at this time and then the connection is stable. Only with the A2DP it goes wrong.

Yes, you have to add the key, sorry not have said that.

Strange, so far I didn't experience any disconnection.
I have conversations during more than 20 minutes daily and line quality is far better than with my Diamond, with no drops.
With the Diamond I had the BT stopping regularily on the phone, it was very annoying because I always discovered it when receiving a call and not being able to answer.
So far it didn't happen on the HD2, but it is really too soon to jump to any conclusion.
I don't use A2DP in the car as I didn't order the option, which I viewed as useless because the hard disk capacity of the iDrive is sufficient to hold a good collection, the audio quality and functionality is much better and I can still connect the phone to the USB plug as mass storage if I want to play or transfer something from it or any memory stick or external HD.
So maybe not having the A2DP profile active may help also.
I also not any problem with my old HTD HD and Cruize ... but with HD2 i have this issue.
Today i receive answer of my ticket from HTC: they offer me to contact with BMW and to ask them why they not support HD2 ... I think this is stupid becouse every new device must support old protocols and older devices.
Now the choice is to change Car or Phone ... sorry but HD2 not have any chance to survive.

Yes how lousy is that
Got the same answer first, but they realised that BMW coudn't recall thousands of vehicles to do a BT upgrade just because HTC decided to adopt the crapy Widcomm BT stack.
So they say they are working on a fix, but given how many issues there are with this stack, they better switch back to the old MS stack instead.
To be clear, it is the Widcomm stack at fault here, not BMW. Every single phone not equipped with this stack, I could try on the BMW, worked flawlesly.
I hope they will recognise this officialy and not blame the others each time a customer opens a ticket about these flaws.
In the meantime, the registry hack works perfectly for handsfree profile, but it seems it doesn't fix everything when the A2DP profile is activated.

After much playing around - I found a linespeed of 300 works best for the HD2. 256 still has questionable quality and 320 for some reason skips a lot. Reducing it to 300 seems to be a workable equilibrium!
Hello. I bought from AliExpress android headunit for audi a6. In main manu it have "phone" and there I am able to connect phone for calls and music play. I wanted to connect obd2 bluetooth adapter to this android unit but cannot enable bluetooth at all. It has system settings, under that there is android settings. And those are classic tablet settings for Android. There is Bluetooth option, but when I try to enable it, it refuses. Like factory disabled that.
Is there any way to acrivate that Bluetooth like on normal phone or tablet android?
Activate Developer options, check your settings there. Network reset. Clear system cache.

I will try that. Do You think that it has Bluetooth like any other tablet, just restricted by software? Seller told me that doesn't support obd2, only for phone connection.
Cannot turn it on. Video attached
Found bluetooth config and switches to BT transfer. (Was BT phone). Now it works
I have the same issue. Can you tell me exactly how you fixed it. How did you get to Bluetooth config. I may have gotten to it, but I see bt phone or bt audio emission. I'm also trying to connect a bluetooth ObdEleven

Hello. It was long time ago, I forgot how exactly I came to settings. But, goal is to switch from BT phone to BT transfer. Now I can connect OBD bluetooth adapter. I must check it again and I will write here. I am sorry for late answe, i have little time in this period, so I can't pay attention enough.
