I am interested in this http://www.parrot.biz/united_kingdom/products/index.php?id=ck3300 Does anybody have any experience using this device, how well does it work etc. ?
I plan on using it with O2 Mini S and possibly Tom Tom software what do you guys think?
I have a CK3300 and the similar CK3100 (no GPS) in my wife's car.
They work superbly with Sony Ericsson phones, less well with Motorolas and Nokias but a bit of a disaster with the XDA Mini-S. Doesn't auto connect, doesn't synch contacts properly, overwrites voice tags. There's a bunch of posts on the subject in the Parrot forum on their website. Rumours that there will be a software upgrade shortly which will address some issues.
I haven't got around to trying the GPS with TomTom on the XDA (as I can't get it to install!) but it worked fine with my previous PPC (an iPaq RX3715)

I have a CK3300 not had to meany problems on the GPS side but my xda 2s and my axd mini would not work with the handsfree bit.
My xda exec works fine on GPs and handsfree.
Very good bit of kit overall
Beside experience, I have a question to post here.
I have Parrot СК3300 for 2 years. As handsfree kit, it works perfectly with Sonyericsson K750i, 700i, Z800, P900. With Sonyericsson P900, it works perfectly as hands free kit and GPS module simultaneously.
However, after connecting my QTEK2020i (1.11.00 WWE, Radio 1.02.00, ExtROM 1.11.113 WWE dd 27of Jan 2005) I can use Parrot as GPS module only. Any attempts to use Parrot as kar kit leads only to loud clicks from speakers. So just for now, I use Parrot as hands-free for Sonyericsson K700i and as GPS module with QTEK simultaneously.
No way to fix it. I delete all Bluetooth devices, soft reset, ad only Parrot as hands-free, soft reset. No result.
Can you suggest me how to fix it.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I have a CK 3000 intsalled with Tom Tom and a third party BT GPS mouse. The Parrot works very well but it has to be paired as a Hands-free set and not as a headset. One small bug, though: I have to start TT first for the GPS to connect when getting back into the vehicle. After that I start the engine, which connects the CK3000 to my MDA II. If the CK is connected first, TT can't find the mouse.
I've been looking for a way to get the audio to be put through the the CK. I once found a piece of software that could do that on this site but inspite of hours of searching, I haven't been able to find it again. - HELP!
parrot car kit
I have a parrot CK3500 GPS car kit and it works well with TomTom Mobile 5 on my SPV E200 ,C500, C550 and has worked with TomTom Navigator 5 my M2000 as well. This is for Voice AND GPS simultaneously.
with earlier versions of TOMTOM i needed to rename the bluetooth connection from Parrot to TomTom Wireless GPS.
I have an XDA Mini S too which is on a data only tariff (so havent tried handsfree) but TomTom 5 works with it for GPS. They seem a little fiddly to set up, but once set up they are great.
I found i needed to use "AnyGPS Tweak" on all the smartphones to get it to connect initially
I had a CK3300 in another car and that worked exactly the same.
The only criticism is that the GPS voice instructions dont go through the speakers. However sometimes they do, and it seems to be if you start TomTom before you switch on the car ignition, the car kit thinks a call is in progress and relays the GPS through the speakers. It doesnt always work, but sometimes its a bit of a shock to get Jane bellowing through the speaker!!
The downside is that if you take a voice call over the car kit, it seems to re-set and the GPS voice then reverts back to the phone speaker.
I have emailed Parrot about this and have not had a reply as yet.

Thanks for your reply.
As far as I understand, I can't solve problem with incoming - outcoming telephone calls by some "secret' QTEK settings.
Therefore, I'll try to find "Any Bluetooth Tweak" program to fix it.
Can you suggest any "Tweak" software?
I just got the Motorola HT820 bluetooth stereo headphones and I cannot get them connected to my computer properly. I plugged in my Actiontec bluetooth dongle and it installed on my pc. Then I paired my HT820 with the computer. It shows as paired, but it doesn't have any services.
Anybody got any advice?
i had some bluetake bluetooth headphones never could get them to work prob with vidcomm or ms bluetooth stacks well they worked as headset but not as stereo good quality headset when i picked that profile they just dident play
did get them to work with the toshiba bluetooth stack but not great
and then the trail ran out
maybe it's the fault of the headset or maybe the bluetooth stacks never confirmed it
Is there any place to get generic bluetooth drivers with A2DP? Or does the bluetooth dongle have to be setup for that already?
i tested with a logitech bluetooth dongle and a belkin dongle
and both worked with ms, vidcomm and toshiba bluetooth software on the pc
but as i mentioned not all profiles worked or worked well
I am interested in using the Blackberry Bluetooth Gateway (with my TP2) to stream A2DP music and my navigation app voice instructions to my RV stereo using the 3.5mm aux output on the Blackberry Bluetooth Gateway.
I don't actually own the Blackberry Gateway yet, so if there is a better product, let me know.
Question is, can I use the Gateway bluetooth for the A2DP streams and still send/receive calls on my Jawbone Prime headset at the same time.
I know that the A2DP audio will not continue when I am on a call. That is fine. But can I maintain connections to 2 bluetooth devices simultaneously, one for A2DP and one for phone calls?
Was just messing about with the phone to see if i could and it worked perfectly. Not sure about two different audio devices but you can use 2 bluetooth devices at the same time.
i have been able to use an external bluetooth gps reciever (with tom tom 7) and my bluetooth headset at the same time.
I use a bluetooth GPS receiver in my car for two reasons
1. It has an athermic windscreen and the bluetooth GPS with an antenna in the back window gets a much better signal
2. I use it as a trigger for a tasker script so that the phone knows that it is in my car
I am thinking of putting a bluetooth audio receiver in the car as well so that I can stream music from the phone to the car speakers
Is the One-X capable of simultaneously communicating with two different bluetooth devices?
thanks
gps test?
Which to do gps test my one x ?
I use an app called "Bluetooth GPS Provider" which works brilliantly. I think that is what your question meant?
Mine will connect to hands free and my obd2 reader at the same time via bluetooth. Do you have a way of testing before buying?
i think if it uses different protocols for each device then it would work
ie if one used a2dp and the other uses whatever gps uses, then yeah i think it would work , but best bet is to test it out first
I wasn't sure how to condense this into a title. I am looking for a device similar to the lingo ivy (which I can't find for sale).
I would like a device that has a built in fm radio reciever tuner that I can connect to via Bluetooth and control from my android tablet. I Would also like this device to receive streams from my tablet for my own music.
I plan on using this for a carputer, I was thinking of using a Bluetooth speaker with built in fm function and hacking it up so I can connect the bt speaker wires to an amp and then to my car speakers but I can't find one
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
