Cingular 8125 and Logitech Ipod Bluetooth Headphones - General Accessories

Hi,
I followed all the instructions on adding a2dp to my ppc, I upgraded the rom,etc and ran the tornado thing. My 8125 sees the headphones and has the wireless stereo service, however, it does not actually connect to them as they even after I find the headphones theyt are still in discovery mode. Any ideas anyone.

I have exactly the same problem. I'll post the solution when I figure it out. I phoned iogear and they told me to set my 8125 to send the audio to the headphones instead of the speaker. Not helpful.

solution found
upgrade to the latest beta rom 225 and it should fix it

Sending all audio over bluetooth
Had similar problem when trying to send music from phone to the headphones. Found the tool, see attached, that has three small programs. There is a bit that has to be changed to tell the device to send all audio to the headphones, otherwise it just does it for phone calls.
The BTAudioOn forces the bit on. BTAudioOff forces the bit off. Just put them onto your device and run them directly. There is a also a toggle program, but it isn't intelligent. It does not query the system and toggle, but instead has its own tracker which gets out of synch.
Hope this helps. My apologies for not crediting the creator of the program, but I believe I found it at Microsoft's site.
Audio quality was very poor due to bluetooth on device. I tested with very old Cingular ROM. Have not tested with the latest 2.25 Cingular ROM to see if there is any improvement. Used Motorola's Stereo Bluetooth headset and also iPhone Stereo Headset with similar results.

A2DP and BT version

Greetings -- I've upgraded to BT 3900 for Motorola HS850 hands-free, which works, although with static.
Now, I got i-tech Clip, and it worked as a hands-free as well. But read on.
I wanted to try it as high-quality audio setup, so I got the profiles -- although for build 3500 -- off the ftp. It did show that profile, but quickly failed to dicover the service on i-tech. As I deleted the hands-free profile, I try to get at least that back. Alas! Now it doesn't connect to hands-free i-tech either.
I've tried: installing 3500, 160.600, -- still discovery fails. What's the rollback procedure to get 3900 with its profiles back?
Braver, I also have Clip S35 from i-Tech. It works so fine with my Xda II (Widcomm Stack + Handsfree Profile and A2DP)
Did you try to reset your Clip S35 and try to pair it together again?
How did you get the A2DP profile? I've installed the profiles for build 3500 from the ftp, it added high-quality audio (is it _the_ A2DP?). I had BT 3900 by then, then reinstalled various versions after i-tech could not be found the second time.
Is it OK to install the extra profiles for build 3500 with 3900?
And, when you do get an audio profile and a hands-free one, how you differentiate -- say, you listen to music and receive a call?
Sorry braver, I misunderstood ...
What I've is :-
1. O2 Xda II
2. O2 Xda II Mini
3. i-Tech BlueCON
4. i-Tech Clip S35
5. IBM X31 (My Laptop)
And I played with them like this:-
(O2 Xda II Mini + IBM X31 + i-Tech BlueCON + i-Tech Clip S35)
I pair my Mini with Clip S35 with the Handsfree Profile. I also connect my BlueCON to my X31 (plug the audio jack of BlueCON to the audio output jack of X31) and pair my Clip S35 with BlueCON.
When I listen the music from my X31. My X31 send the audio output to BlueCON and BlueCON stream the audio data to Clip S35. So I can hear the music.
And when I have the incoming call on my Mini. My Mini connect to my Clip S35 so my Clip S35 stop the music from BlueCON and go to Handsfree Profile Mode. After the hang up the phone line, Clip S35 start the music again automatically.
==================================
For BA, I've seen from the forum but it's Thai language:-
http://www.pdamobiz.com/show_news.asp?NewsID=41062&PN=1
They said that they installed PDA2K_BroadcomCorp_BTUpdate.cab from xda-developers.com like you did and every was so fine.
Please try to check and let me know if there's what I can help.
(Also, don't forget, PIN for Clip S35 is 8888. It's not 0000)
I.tech S35 paired with WM2003 SE with Widcomm 1.6.0600
Guys, help.
I have a WM2003 SE unit with Widcomm 1.6.0600 stack and I just acquired an I-tech S35. I have the following things working:
1. Mp3 over bluetooth using Windows Media Player 9 and the high quality stereo profile.
2. Headset connection for outgoing calls.
I have the following problems:
1. with the mp3, I get interference or what I assume is interference. if I move around too much, the sound becomes choppy.
2. with the headset, I can't receive incoming call. when the call comes in, it doesn't get directed to my S35 even when it's linked via headset mode. I have to answer the phone directly from my XDA2. I tried linking the S35 with a Nokia 6600 and the incoming call is redirected perfectly well into the S35.
3. I can't get the S35 to work in "buzzer" mode, even when I pair it with a Nokia 6600.
4. I've tried calling out and the person I call always says that my call is very unclear.
Does anyone else have problems like this or has been able to resolve these problems? I could use the help or I'd be forced to sell this unit since it's practically useless to me with particularly with the second problem.
Thanks and best regards...
Winston
Hi wsabido168,
1. with the mp3, I get interference or what I assume is interference. if I move around too much, the sound becomes choppy.
Ave*: I don't think that I have the interference problem but the sound is not come out smoothly. I hear the noise like you cooking the pop corn around every 15 seconds per time. You should try to contact to the shop that you bought it and ask them to try with another one.
2. with the headset, I can't receive incoming call. when the call comes in, it doesn't get directed to my S35 even when it's linked via headset mode. I have to answer the phone directly from my XDA2. I tried linking the S35 with a Nokia 6600 and the incoming call is redirected perfectly well into the S35.
Ave*: Mine is not. I can receive the incoming call from S35. I feel like there's something wrong with your XDA II.
3. I can't get the S35 to work in "buzzer" mode, even when I pair it with a Nokia 6600.
Ave*: You can turn it on and off. Please check from the manual. It said that you need to press the button (I can't remember which one) to on and off the buzzer mode. (This problem may relate with your 2nd question, I just guest)
4. I've tried calling out and the person I call always says that my call is very unclear.
Ave*: This question may relate with the 1st question. Mine is clearly (I asked from the other side)
Hi Ave, first of all, thanks for the information.
May I ask what software you have on your system? for example, what bluetooth stack you're using and what version of the OS? Maybe I can reflash my OS to whatever you're using to get it to work properly.
Thanks and best regards...
wsabido168, you're welcome ... I've 2 of XDA.
The first on is my XDA II:-
ROM: 2.06.00 WWE
RADIO: 1.18.00
ExtROM: - (Big Storage)
Bluetooth Stack: Widcomm Bluetooth Stack 1.5.0.2000
The secound one is my XDA II Mini:-
ROM: 1.12.00 WWE
RADIO: 1.13.00
ExtROM: 1.12.119 WWE
Bluetooth Stack: Microsoft Bluetooth Stack
questions:
1. with the XDAII running Bluetooth Stack 1.5.0.2000, where'd you get the Bluetooth Stack 1.5.0.2000? how do I download and from where it?
2. when you're using Bluetooth Stack 1.5.0.2000, can your XDAII receive calls and automatically redirect it to your i-tech S35 even when you're playing mp3s?
3. with Bluetooth Stack 1.5.0.2000, do you have the profile for "high quality audio" with which to use the mp3s over bluetooth?
Thanks and best regards...
Winston

Answer 2
I think the answer is No,
XDA II has the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack installed from the manufacturing. It has Headset Profile but no A2DP (High Quality Audio) available. But if you want to have A2DP on XDA II, you need to install the Widcomm Bluetooth Stack.
The stack from Widcomm has A2DP and can be run on XDA II (but not work on XDA II Mini)
After you install the stack from Widcomm, you'll be able to listen MP3 using Clip S35, but if you want to use your Clip S35 to answer a call, you have to stop the Widcomm Stack and start the Microsoft Stack instead.
Microsoft Stack and Widcomm Stack can be run on XDA II but not the same time.
Answer 3
Yes, Widcomm 1.5.0.2000 has A2DP See Answer 1 for more detail.
Will it work on WM5?
I haven't try it yet but I don't think that it will work on WM5. I'm not so sure, still need someone in this forum to answer for us.
Do you know?, i-Tech has a A2DP software for Symbian OS. It's BluePlayer which I used to try on Nokia 6600. It's really cool because you will be able to listen to the music with high quality audio, also you can answer the phone call with this Clip S35 too.
I used to contact to them to asked for the A2DP software for my Magician. But the answer was they didn't have a plan to do it yet.
Has anyone managed to get Widcomm A2DP working with the headset profile?

On WM2003SE or WM5? With the former, I've used the A2DP profile with Zonet ZUB8100 stereo BT headphones to listen to MP3s. Works pretty well; no static until I get 5-10 meters from the SX66.
Haven't installed WM5 yet, and I don't intend to in the near future.
Hey guys,
Thanks to all the information from you guys, I have gotten it to work (A2DP and bluetooth with my S-35 headset and XDAII (installed with WM2003SE) but still have a problem with the fact that the Broadcom does NOT permit received calls to be redirected to the headset therefore giving it less functionality than if I were using a Nokia cellphone with this headset.
If anyone has a fix to this problem, please let me know.
Thanks and best regards...
Winston
Winston, I took a long time to search on the internet but nobody could give me the information to fix it.
Somebody said that the problem of Headset Profile from Widcomm Bluetooth Stack and Xda II is about the Audio Gateway and Wave Driver. The Wavedev.dll didn't redirect the audio output to Handfree Profile of Widcomm Bluetooth Stack. This is all that I know about.
Anyway, nice to talk to you. Feel free to let me know if there's somethings that I can help or what we can share.
Ave*
ok. thanks again Ave.

I'm on WM2003 Rom 1.40 with WMP10. I can get A2DP working as well, however headset doesnt work properly then (IE can't take calls on the headphones).
Also another annoying problem is that WMP10 turns off after 5 minutes (ie screen goes blank), this interrupts the A2DP session, and I have to reconnect.

Bluetooth Headphones Problem

I have an O2 XDA Mini S and have just purchased a pair of Motorola HT820 Bluetooth headphones. I have paired the two; however, I only get the Hands Free service (which works) but NO Wireless Audio. I have not installed any other software / drives and I am using WMP 10 Mobile to play the music.
Any help with this problem would be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Harold Clements
...Ok, I have been on this for about 4 hours now and I am starting to get a bit annoyed.
I clicked on Motorola HT820 and then went ‘Refresh’ and up popped ‘Headset’ so I ticked that and saved. I then clicked (and held) on Motorola HT820. The options that I get are Edit – Delete – Set as Hands Free. I think I should also have ‘Set as Wireless Stereo’ or something, but I don’t.
Please, has anyone any ideas?
Thanks, Harold Clements
Wirless Audio Hacks
I really could do with someone’s help!
I have read about the ‘hacks’ (zoad2p.cab, Tornado asdp, AKU2.6) but I am unsure:
a) if this is a solution to for problem / PDA.
b) what a hack is and why is it needed?
Please can someone help!
I don't know wich kind of PDA you have, as you can see everyone here calls their PDAs by their HTC's code name (mine is a universal), go to look the pictures of all the PDAs, find yours and search directly inside there, it will be much easier for you to find an answer.
One simple comment, your PDA has to have the Bluetooth high quality audio (is called be some PDAs in this way), see if your PDA does contain such feature, you have to activate it if you want to hear stereo audio, generally when you pair your phones for the first time, your PDA will show you the option already ticked, if you haven't see it, chances are that something is missing in your bluetooth profiles, go to your PDA's specific part of this forum and read, with patience and some luck, I'm sure you'll find whatever you need to get your PDA's stereo audio to work.
Most of the cases, are just the lack of the profiles or even installing another BT stack.
good luck
Thanks...
Thank you very much for your advice / reply, it was very much appreciated. It seems that my PDA is a Wizard. I will indeed search that part of this forum.
Thanks again,
Harold Clements
I don't think your phone supports A2DP profile. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Neither do i know if his phone supports it, I use to have an Ipaq 6340, it suppose that it didn't supported A2DP but with an BT stack extracted from another PDA (don't remember wich one) it worked, it didn't worked very well, it dropped audio more or less each 30 seconds for 2 seconds, someone said at that time that was processor lack of power -I didn't agree with this-, but I did no further investigation.
As far as I've understood, the main bottleneck for stereo profiles (or any deamanding profile in BT) is the radio, of course, if We don't have access to the manufacturers good information, good tools, much time and even more will is very hard to find a solution to anything, most of us do not spend lots of time with this things -it's not easy for anyone with a "normal" life-, and I'm not complaining!
It's just fine for me, the whole thing it's quite enjoyable like this, some more time spent in this way and it would become a second work.
So, may us have fun and keep an excellent forum up.

a hack is getting a device which dont support a feature to do it anyway
if htc dident make your device to support a2dp == bluetooth stereo
you maybe be able to get it to do it anyway using a hack
if any hacks works for your device
as it differs
bluetooth support is never support for all profiles bluetooth have
plus there are bluetooth version 1 - 1.1 - 1.2 and 2.0

The zoia a2dp hack (zoa2dp.cap) is what you need, it will give you "Set as wireless stereo" but be prepared for pretty bad skipping, that has not yet been solved for all of wizards.
Also if you flash to a custom rom (Like Molski's 2.26 it'll have the patch automatically.)

BLUETOOTH STACK - please please help me

I have read every post about MS bluetooth stack vs widcomm etc....
I know someone can build a cab file that will uninstall the MS one and replace with the newest widcomm stack.
I LOVE my universal but I carry TWO phones with me because the universal's connection via bluetooth is not PERFECT for phone calls like the blackberry (oh i fking hate the blackberry for everything else).
I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to use only my Universal but the static on bluetooth KILLS me because I am on the phone 10 hours a day.
PLEASE please help me. Fish
This file fix Blue Tooth
Bluetooth stack
I would second Fish's comments about the Univerasl and the Bluetooth stack. I have bluetooth in my car and it is great WHEN it works. When it doesn't work it takes a lot of tinkering to get the car to recognize the phone again. I'm of course not sure if the issue is on the Universal side, but Bluetooth turns it self off, so there is some kind of problem. I have tried different radios, currently 1.13 (tried 1.14 as well, but went back). I'm very interested in finding a solution (not using two phones), can you please provide some detail on what the CAB file does to Bluetooth?
Thanks,
Sven

What exactly does this file fix/change ?
I've just installed the WM6 crossbow helmi_c version
do I still need this file ?
This is a Stack changer to change from MS BT stack to Cambridge Silicon Radio BT stack. Originally developed for Dell AXIM (about what I've found). Seems to work fine there, but need to uninstall/reinstall after every soft-reset because of a volume lock bug.

Tried out BT Stack change for Hermes patch/program.
TEST RESULTS ON UNIVERSAL WITH WM6 (Midget aka Helmi unreleased)
Sound IS great. But other than that, this program does not work very well on my device. Of course this is designed for Hermes but I gave it a shot.
Issues:
1:
Screen flickers (only when this BT is turned on).
Flickers really bad and unable to use device.
Fix: set the device to standby (power button) and wake it up again. Flickering gone
2:
Once BT is deactivated for a few minutes I can't start it again.
Fix: No fix found yet. Only a Soft-reset and directly activate BT works.
3:
I can't use my GSM/UMTS connection anymore. Trying endlessly. Even after soft-reset's I can't connect. WiFi works fine though.
Fix: No fix found yet.
4:
Unable to uninstall this program. Tried several times. I get to the "Soft Reset Device Yes/Cancel". I soft reset, program still there and working.
5:
Hard-Reset, complete setup with WAP, MMS, MAIL etc.
Installed Widcomm BT Stack again.
Soft-reset:
Screen flickering (fix)
No 3G/UMTS connection avalible anymore. Even when BT stack is completly shut down.
We need a specific one for our Universal. Who's up to fixing this for us?

I'm also worried with the same issue, because I've exactly the same problem. But I don't think only altering of BT stack should fix the problem. My understanding is, something is also to be done in radio (rom) side itself. Because I was using a different radio rom last year at about May or June and my BT headset worked perfect. But I can't remember now about what build that was, because later on I've updated my radio to few other releases.
Radio rom has NOTHING to do with the Bluetooth or Wifi - It's ONLY the firmware for the GSM chip.

We know the MS BT stack is crappy. I found out today that Helmi_c is developing one. But, still, this thread should be more about how to resolve the BT stack change (or just shut it until our friend Helmi_c finishes his school stuff and gets back to being the ROM-N3rd in need of more RAM that we all love so much) than bringing up more issues about the MS BT stack.
Thanks.
guys,tried almost all roms on my universal,some of them works a few days,after 3 months i flashed with the good old official rom,better and stable than all
anyway,the only reason for this waste of time was this a2dp issue,being not able to listen music to my motorokr(tested with 2 laptops and 2 htc,working great)
so i think is just some kind of incompatibility motorokr-universal(yes,i try all the a2dp hacks/registry editing found here

[REQ] Audio Stream via Bluetooth Handsfree?

Hi,
I am looking for a way to stream audio from the Touch HD to my Car. Unfortunately the cars built-in audio system doesn't support bluetooth. But there is that handsfree-thing, which works really great with calls. So I wondered, if there is a software solution that streams my music from the phone as "incoming call" to my car?
I've tried "acbToggleBT" and "BTASP" and both didn't work in the Car, but they did work with a bluetooth headset.
It would be really great if somebody knows, finds, posts, programs or has an solution.
Thanks in advance!

I can't remember but there was an option to route normal audio to the bluetooth handset in my HP iPAQ which is missing from HD.
Believe me music streaming to HSF device will be as good as listening to AM radio on poor reception. Go get a bluetooth A2DP profile audio headunit like Sony - MEX-BT2500 (this is the one I use and works like a charm).
Thanks for your reply.
Perhaps I took the wrong words to explain what I am looking for.
The thing I want is a piece of software that "imitates" an incoming call and sends the audio from S2P to the handsfree of my car.
Maybe this explanation is a bit better...?
[edit]
have you tried BT Audio
it's a paid app
acbToggleBT always worked for me

Excellent. I can get this to work via bluetooth headset.
Unfortunatley this didn't work in my car (which is what I believe the OP wants).

ausi - does this work on a car stereo i.e. does it emulate an incoming phone call?

All i can say is this based on using it on my HD with WM 6.1 & 6.5 (Dutty ROM):
Once you install the program and then execute it (Press On):
It will transfer all Music & Audio from Movies (Core Player) etc. to my BT Nokia Headset or my BT Car Speakerphone (Motorola T305), i do not have a Radio BT set so i can't tell you, you'll just have to try.
This Cab solved my problem as the basic BT HD ROM sertting only transfers the Phone audio while this little cab transfers ALL audio, so i would presume that it may help you with your BT radio, you can always uninstall the cab if it doesn't work for you.
There is NO emulation invloved here!!??
Good luck!
Hi Ausi, tried on my Nokia BT car handsfree but no joy
The handsfree only accepts an incoming call as stated above so some sort of emulation may be needed. Would be happy if someone knew about something...

Funny... my HD does the reverse. I get de BT audio but on the BT phone I got nothing but static...
I've got a Sony Xplod bluetooth radio in my car.
When I start up it automatically connects to my HD, however it only connects as handsfree rather than both handsfree and BT stereo.
I have to go into comms manager and bluetooth settings, then select and hold on the xplod in the device list.
A menu comes up asking what I'd like to connect as, and I pick stereo, then repeat for handsfree.
Give that a go. Holding on the device to bring up the menu gives you the BT profiles the device is capable of, so with a bit of luck stereo/headphones will be an option for you.

Incredible + A2DP on Kenwood kiv bt-900?

Just had the new kenwood deck installed... Should do almost anything. I have my incredible paired up and calls are clear. Problem is A2DP audio streaming. Does not work. No A2DP device is found. Yes, the manual gives directions to play streamed audio once bt is synced. Well, its synced, got my phone book on there, and calls are being made.
Any thoughts or ideas to get streaming audio?
I don't have any help to offer, but I am experiencing the same problem with my Pioneer FH-P8000BT. Pairs for phone calls with no issue and everything is clear, but the radio does not even "see" the device as being available for A2DP.
I previously paired a few different HTC phones (all running Windows Mobile) with this radio with no issues. I'm hoping it's a simple fix, but I can't find a single thing in the settings that I haven't played with to try and get it to work.
I have an Alpine HU with an Alpine KCE-400BT bluetooth add on. My streaming audio is working, although I don't get any song/artist info on screen. I do have an issue where the phone doesn't sync up all the time. It syncs up great in the morning. If I stop for gas or something (turn off the car briefly) and get back in, then the radio won't see the phone until a call comes in or is started from the phone (or I toggle BT on/off).
You might check with Pioneer on any firmware udpates.
My incredible works great with my Ford sync system. It always connects, calls are loud and crisp, and streaming bt audio works great. I use it to listen to Pandora all the time.

I have seen other people post issues with having bluetooth on the phone enabled before the car is on. If you turn the car on first and then the phone's bluetooth they said it worked fine.
I have Kenwood HU and my phone won't pair with it. my Blackberry Paired with it fine, and even did A2DP, and worked awesome...now......nothing.
Been looking for some answers as to why, but after calling Kenwood they said it's a software update that is missing.
however, seeing as some people are getting it working fine....I am suspecious.
Kenwood 4160 working, actually better
My 4160 and serveral WM units worked, but the A2DP always had to be turned on by going into the menu every single time I wanted to listen to anything from the phone, but the Incredible does it by itself every time perfectly.
I have a Pioneer AVIC N4 and the audio for both calls and music works just fine out of the box.
I have the kiv-bt900 also, and it is my understanding that it does not have A2DP. I believe the A2Dp in the manual is referring to the KIV-700 with the add on bt module.
From page 67 (of the downloaded manual from Kenwood)
KIV-BT900
Supported Bluetooth Profiles:
Version: Bluetooth Standard Ver. 2.0
Profile: HFP (Hands Free Profile)
OPP: (Object Push Profile)
PCAP (Phone Book Access Profile
SYNC (Synchronization Profile)
I thought it had it too when i bought it. Maybe a future update will enable it though??
What does A2DP mean please?
it stands for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile. In simple terms, it's stereo audio transferred from one device to another via bluetooth. Example: Music from a phone/mp3 player to stereo bluetooth headphones, head units etc..
Thank you.

Well damn. The deck was sold to me from car toys (local vendor) under the pretense that it would do zune (works great) and A2DP...
Usb works great too... I was thinking of formatting a laptop drive to the mac file system (hfs) and hooking it up to the usb port to get a200GB drive of mp3 and video since it supports ipods. (works on xbx360, why not here?)
OK so a small fix, but not the end result.
with my Kenwood head unit I can make it work as long as I don't let it download the phonebook. and that is no problem since the phone sits on my dash in the car dock. but the problem is that EVERY time I start up my truck, or after I end a call it asks to re-download the phonebook.
it kinda irks me, but I cannot get it to stop asking, no setitngs on the stereo work.
I emailed Kenwood about possibly releasing a firmware update to include A2DP to the kiv bt900. They responder saying that there isn't enough demand for the feature for them to create a firmware update. So if we get enough people contacting them and requesting that feature, they will release and update. So you guys should all contact them to increase the demand for this feature. Hope this helps.
Here is exactly what they responded:
"I understand that you're inquiring about the KIV-BT900's Bluetooth features. We do apologize for any difficulties that you've experienced with this item. Unfortunatley, we cannot assist you with any firmware updates at this point since this model was just recently released to the market. Our company has not received enough demand for this feature which prevents us from developing or releasing an update for the KIV-BT900 unit. We may release an Bluetooth update in the future, however it's hard to determine at this time."
I'm willing to start complaining and sending some emails out to them. What email address did you send it too? I just got the player and that is def the only thing missing to make it complete for me.
I tried emailing the regular support channels and got the below message.
Thank you for contacting Kenwood USA Corporation. We value you as a Kenwood customer and appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance.
I Understand you are inquiring about any updates to allow the A2DP profile.
There is currently no available updates and there hasn't been information on upcoming updates for the A2DP profile. We ask that you check back at a later date to verify if one is posted through the www.kenwoodusa.com website.
We apologize for any inconvenience.
Please feel free to contact us again with any additional questions.
I spoke with a rep and they mentioned that A2DP missing from the unit is the most often called in issue about the unit.
I have a KDC-BT948 with the same issue. They removed A2DP and put in Pandora instead..and it only works through iPhone, which then uses up wireless data on a cell phone plan. So Android, MS phones, and any other bluetooth device can no longer be used with a Kenwood Car Stereo. Someone at Pandora really made an impression at someone in Kenwood. It is too bad that they are limiting consumers with their choice which ultimately limits their sales and increases complaints.
Should have everyone go do this and request a fix.
Go to the Kenwood Contact page and send an email
This is what I sent
I have purchased the KDC-BT948HD radio.
Where I am overall happy with many of the features, looks, variable colors, and excellent sound quality of the unit, there are several things that I am extremely dissapointed in and would like to see an update released to resolve them.
1. SMS Received message on the unit: Might be useful to some, but to me it is a dangerous distraction while driving, especially at night. It has me take my eyes off the road to look at the unit and makes me want to look at my phone to read/send texts. Texting and driving is illegal in many states and there should be a way on the unit to allow a selection to turn this feature off.
2. BT Audio (A2DP) is missing. I have an Android phone with my music on it. Alone there are more Android phones than iPhones in use today. I wanted to have Bluetooth streaming audio so I can play my music from my phone to the unit. For such a high technology unit, it should be part of the firmware and flexibility to the consumer to use their device with more options. The previous year units had this enabled and seems to be disabled now replaced by a focus on a wired Apple connection and Pandora. Forcing use of Pandora also forces consumers to use up data rates on their wireless plans. If A2DP were enabled, more consumers could enjoy the product integration with standard BT devices offered by Apple, Android, Microsoft and many others. All could enjoy the music and audio applications on their devices including Pandora. I would like to request that A2DP be added to the firmware and source selection on this device. I should yield increase product ratings and sales as web searches show many complaints about this issue.
I would value your feedback on these points and potential solutions.
Best regards
