I was just wondering if it was possible to use bluetooth to connect my XDAII to my nokia 6310i thats in the wired car-kit, so I can use the nokia kit as a handsfree for my XDAII??
I've set up a pairing between them , but the nokia keeps saying connected XDAII, then immediatly disconnected.
I tried this software too:

Any one got any ideas??
Thanks
deja-vu
I am trying to do the exact same thing.
I have a nokia 6310i, with car kit installed in my audi.
I have just got a Orange SPV M1000 and have been trying to pair the 6310i and the xda2 together, with the idea of using the 6310i + car kit to use the existing kit.
I have paired them, but straight away disconnects at the 6310i.
Does any have any ideas why this can't be done.
Same problem here. The 6310i I have is connected to a Nokia BT car kit CW1A I think.
Can't seem to connect with either that or through the 6310i.

I was wondering is there a way to receive incoming calls from the car speakers instead of the mda itself with this combination? I have search the forums and there seems to be a kit from "http://www.siocommunications.co.uk/06-061B.html" that will work with my car which is a "1999 ford cougar" but it's only for the nokia phone tho. Is there a kit that will work with my car,mda II and the tomtom carkit? or is there an special adapter i can buy to allow calls to come from my car speakers instead of the mda?
"Spec"
Tmobile MDA II
TOMTOM bluetooth navigator
TOMTOM bluetooth carkit
Thank You!
I found a very cheap way of doing this without any wires, its called a "car baby", its a small rechargeable unit that clips over the speaker on any pocket pc and transmits all audio through your radio to the speakers making your phone handsfree and a navigation systm will also put the audio through the speakers, works for mp3 as well. Here is the link for the device on ebay uk but is available worldwide for about $8 per unit.

Hi Guys
I have an XDAII and also another phone, a Nokia.... I have recently had a Nokia Car Kit 7W (bluetooth capable) installed in my car. This would be ideal, as I have the 2 phones (nokia and XDAII).
The only thing is, I can't get the XDAII to connect to the Bluetooh Car Kit via a Bluetooth Handset connection. It connects but not via a Handset connection....
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rogerio
I am trying to work out the best way to set up the following in my car:
1 ) GPS on my Exec using bluetooth and TomTom 5.2
2 ) Bluetooth handsfree phone use using Motorola Razor
3 ) Car mount kit with charger.
I intend to have all of the above properly installed so no loose wires and mess.
From everything I have picked up from others the Brodit is the best solution for a mounting kit, so i will definately order that.
My dilema is I do not use the exec as a phone as it is just not pratical for that, so whilst i really like the idea of the Parrot CK 3300 I am not sure if it will pair with my Razor to use as a phone and the Exec for bluetooth GPS operation at the same time. If this is possible then it makes life easy. On the rare occaison that is use the Exec as a phone in the car it's own handsfree is pretty good any way. I also understand that the Parrot GPS uses the Exec speakers rather than the Car radio for the spoken directions so there is not need to have it access the car sound system.
The other alternative is to get the Parrot CK3100 for the handsfree car GSM bit , buy TT 5.2 then find a separate GPS receiver.
Does anyone either have experince of doing this or and idea of the best way.
Any suggestions here will be greatfully received.
Charlie
I've paired my CK3300 before with my XDA Exec and a Nokia 6600.
Used the XDA for GPS and the Nokia for handsfree.
When you pair the XDA with the CK3300 you get the list of devices on the Parrot and you get handsfree and serial port - You will only want to pair the serial port part of it. Just pair your RAZR as you would with a regular headset and it should all work.
Good luck!

Thanks for the quick reply. That is very encouraging to hear. It really simplifies things if i can go down that route. I will order the bits on Monday, unless anyone has a better solution for this. Also can you confirm if the GPS spounds come throught he Exec speakers rather than the Car stereo?
Do you have any other advice about this?
Charlie
Yes the GPS sounds come through the exec and not the car kit.
Just trying to think if there is anything else you need to be aware of.......
It all should be pretty easy to be honest - just make sure when pairing the device that you use the advanced settings and choose pair with a windows ce device.
With so many full car kits plus the new style visor mounted kits I was looking for some advice.
From What I see I have 4 Choices
1) Fully hardwired Kit (expensive)
2) visor mounted or cigarette socket plug and go style kits.(are they any good)
3) Headset style (not a big fan of these as keep falling out)
4) Lose my licence (not a good Idea)
any advice would be great guys let me know if you can
You can buy a hardwire kit for about £35 for a second hand Nokia C7K, wiring it is easy, it is only 3 or 4 wires. Less if your car has a car kit plug on the loom, but you will need the adaptor kit for that.
They won't charge the phone though, or provide a cradle.
Don't buy a Nokia C1K though, they don't work with the P3300.

i use a Parrot CK3100LCD it's a verry good carkit and even a child can install it just 2 iso connectors in your radio and that's it. Your sound is then over the car speakers.
Siemens CRK600
I use a Siemens wired car kit - three wires (+ve, igintion and ground) and its done. Speaker with it is excellent, so no need to wire into the car stereo. Has a nice LCD display, althjough I needed jetwaremobile.com's bluetooth extension and phonebook swap to get full functionality.
I agree the parrot ck3100 is brilliant with the xda orbit, i have one in my astra and i have a xda orbit. Going cheap on fleebay
I bought the Aldi BT car radio a while ago and it works perfectly. £70 iirc
Pair the phone once with it and turn BT on when I get in the car, incoming calls come through the loudspeakers and there is a mic in the head unit
Just upgraded
Just got a Sony MEX-BT2500 stereo with built in bluetooth - £90 on ebay, works like a dream... well recommended.
That means that my Siemens wired kit is going spare - I'm going to put it on ebay soon, but if anyone wants to contect me first... just a three wire conenct, and I've got an ISO through connector to connect at the back of the car stereo, so you don't need to cut any car wires, then stick the display on your dash, route the microphone to near your sunvisor and leave the little but very clear speaker inthe footwell or under the glovebox...
I read that the mic isn't that good with the MEX-BT2500. What are your experiences?
We've got Nokia CK7W's in our cars at work, and myself and other orbit users have no problems with them at all.
iirc we paid about £120 per car for the kit and installation, but from what I've seen they are very easy to fit yourselves

It's as good as any car kit I've ever had - and that included professionally fitted kits and factory fitted car kits.
Because the mic's in the front of the unit rathe rthan up by the top of the windscreen, you get far less issues at speed with wind noise etc too. Highly recommended.

Both my wife's and my carhave a Nokia CK-1W fitted, Orbit works perfectly with both?????

Never worked with mine, it would pair but then not work. Perhaps it was the original O2 Bluetooth stack that was the issue. I still have it, I can wire it up and see. Well if I can be bothered I will!
I use a £59 Parrott CK3000 with my HTC Himalaya and my new P3300 in my Audi A3 and its great. Connected it into the back of my radio with just three (Tel+ Tel- & Tel Mute) connections and it mutes the radio and plays through the speakers just like a factory fitted unit.
When I used the same unit in my previous Alfa 156, you could even adjust the call volume using the steering wheel audio controls (but my Audi doesn't have that feature).
For the A3 and other vehicles with "multi-function steering wheels", Parrott even do adapters so that you can use the steering wheel buttins to answer & close a call, rather than having to have a separate non-standard button showing on the dash....
In my Saab 9-3, I use a Parrot MK-6100 car kit which also supports A2DP/AVRCP.
Works well with my Artemis - even the stereo bluetooth audio isn't bad (no skipping/stopping, but the audio quality isn't quite up to my car radio's standard).
It was very easy to fit, and it just worked as soon as I paired up.
I found mine at Amazon for about GBP110 including postage.

Parrot is excellent
The Parrot CK3000 is nice if you don't need a screen. It's very stealth - just a small controller with "talk" and "end" buttons and a volume dial in the middle. (I have an Audi A4 and don't have space for a screen) Very easy to install (like the CK3100) because it uses the ISO connectors. Even if you car doesn't use ISO standard, you can always splice the wires or buy adapers if you don't want to splice. The sound quality is excellent, the functions are very basic but very reliable (however, I've only used the kit as a headset - never added additional voice tags and all that). It just works and it works well. You can get them from Amazon.com for less than $100 USD. Even less in eruos.
Got the P3300 and I can't fault it. The quality of the system is excellent, sound and mic work very well and the system is easy to use. Easy to wire in and I have my steering wheel controls connected.
I have seen some with problems, the soldering for the display has been a little thin on some models but nothing I couldn't fix.
I have noticed that sometimes when I answer with the phone button (on the phone) the parrot goes into mute, my advice would be either auto answer or pick up using the parrot. Could just be my setup...
