Hello,
in a few weeks I'll get my new Ford car - equipped with the built-in bluetooth handsfree device. I tried to connect my MDA 3 to this device at several Ford dealers but didn't get any connection.
The MDA finds a "Ford Audio" but can't establish a connection.
Who has any ideas ?
Thanks in advance - Dieter
I have the same problem with a new mondeo...
Everything works with an old nokia 6630 (with a small nokia application I can browse the phonebook as well) but I'm not able to pair the bluetooth ford audio system with my HTC TyTN...
Any ideas?
try using a newer bluetooth stack.
What is a bluetooth 'stack' ?
And how do I change to a newer one?

As far as I know, you'll need to update the Radio portion of your device's ROM based software (the basic software that drives the device).
The best bet in your case I believe would be to just grab a new complete update for your device by searching the wiki for downloads for your device. Download a newer official ROM, install it and try again.
You will lose all saved data on the device though so back it up>
Wiki is here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Did upgrading the bluetooth stack fix this connectivity issue to Ford Audio Bluetooth Handsfree devices?
Same problem. I've tried to upgrade bluetooth stack: my BA finds "Ford Audio" but doesn't connect. Please give us some help

after correct pairing (code 0000), press "Phone" on the caraudio system and then "Menu". After that press left or right joypad on the caraudio to set the "Active Phone". It will search and your phone will be correctly paired.
The last paired phone will be automatically active when you turn on the caraudio system next time.
In some cases will also help to install on the device the JETware application... just try.
Problem Solved!
Thank you dark horse, followed your advice and it worked just fine. I can now connect via bluetooh in my ford.

Can anyone help ?
I have just bought one of the XDA2i's and I am having problems with the Bluetooth Version 1.0.0.3900, For some reason the XDA will "pair" with the devices I am trying to use but will not "connect".
I have tried to use 2 devices both of which work correctly with my old Nokia, one being a Nokia Bluetooth handsfree and the other being a Parrot Bluetooth in car hands free kit.
When trying to connect the devices the XDA states "there are no useable services on the devices I am trying to connect"
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong ?
I had the same thing with my BT GPS unit. I found a soft reset fixed it.
Make sure the BT device is on before pairing.
I have tried to connect my p3600 through bluetooth with my car. It is a ford focus with the blaupunkt travelpilot ex audio device.
When I search for device it finds the "ford audio", next the security code is asked, I enter it, next it is paired. I have checked the "Hands free" option.
On the display of the audio device in the car I can see the phono but I can not use it . When I try to make a call it says "No phone connected". I can not see the last used numbers and so on.
When I use a nokia telephone it is working oke
Does somebody know the solution....
Many Many Thanx!!!
Yes yes yes...
After installing ROM AX3L_WM6_WWE_v3.0.7 (31-08-2007) the problem was solved!
Cant connect XDA exec to Ford bluetooth handsfree
I'm having the same problems as jjplayground but I'm on WM5.

Anybody got any ideas or solutions ?
thanks,
Hi
Sorry form my english, i have ford mondeo with TravelPilot EX radio. TravelPilot EX contain a bluetooth modul? I cannot find bluetooth settings I have manual in deutch

I've been struggling for several months now to get my MDAC III working with my built-in car Bluetooth hands-free. The full details are below, but in short, I'm told that the system seems to work OK with Wizard, and I'm wondering what about the Wizard could be different to the Artemis (Bluetooth stack perhaps?), and if there is a difference, is there anything I can do about it?
The full issue: The system I'm trying to connect with is in a Land Rover Freelander 2 (LR2 in the US) Initial pairing was a bit hit and miss, but now I've got the the phone paired with the PTI, that's not a problem and they automatically pair whenever I start the car.
I can succesfully initiate or answer a call from the car, but the call itself isn't routed through the car's speakers/mic, it just goes through the phone as normal. However, once in a call if I select the "privacy" option on the PTI (which would normally have the effect I've already got of passing the call to the phone), and then select the "hands free" option, it does what it should and routes the call through the car. Effectively, it's as if the system starts in "privacy" mode rather than "hands free". Once I've done this once, subsequent calls work fine, routing straight through the car, but only until the ignition's turned off. The next time I start the car up I'm still paired, but calls go through the phone again.
If anyone's got any suggestions, I'd really appreciate them.
Thanks!
Try this
Had similar in a BMW...
Try www.jetwaremobile.com
Thanks, did try that but didn't seem to help, it seemed to be more geared towards additional functions like phonebook syncing rather than just getting a working connection in the first place. Maybe I'll give it another go.
Same Probleme On 207

I fixed the problem I have with car kit of OPEL ANTARA using the software you said. It works disable sending Phonebooks.
I am having a similar problem with Wizard Mobile 6 cooked ROM. Before with the official O2 ROM on my Xda Mini S, it worked fine. The car would automatically recognise the phone whenever in proximity, and all calls would go through the speaker.
Now, I have to press the car kit's button (Nokia Bluetooth) each time I get in the car, to tell it to search for devices - i.e. the phone doesn't automatically announce its presence.
So, is there a different Bluetooth Stack we can try?
My Orbit works fine with my Nokia CK-7W using a B&B ROM.
Thanks, and yep that's the same car kit I have.
When you get in the car, do you have to do anything, or does the car kit automatically detect the phone? Mine doesn't since getting the Wizard Mobile 6 cooked ROM.
Do you know what Bluetooth Stack you use, and if I can download it anywhere for the Wizard?
No, just switch on the ignition key and away it goes. Also if the car kit is set as the default hands free if the phone rings it should try to connect to the car kit.
The radio I am using is 2.95.90 I have no idea what bluetooth stack it is, Tom Codin cooked the ROM, he will know.
Okay thanks. Does anyone know if the BT Stack is part of the Radio ROM? If so I'll just try a different Radio ROM.
Hi,
I am trying to get my XDA Orbit to connect to my new Mondeo via the Bluetooth facility supplied with the car. The phone can see the car OK showing up "Ford Audio" and connecting to it, but the car can't see the phone.
I have seen postings suggesting there is an error with the Bluetooth stack on the WM6 version, but how do I get round this? Mind you, I have never used the XDA with a handsfree kit before so is there some sort of setting I need for a handsfree I don't know about?
Any help gratefully accepted.
Thanks
Jon
p.s. This is an official O2 WM6 version CE OS 5.2.1238 Build 17745.0.2.3
Normally, with a headset, you cannot 'seek' the phone (no screen). You have to put the headset in 'discoverymodus' and then look for it on the pda. A headset has a solid pairkey, usually 0000.
When you have a advanced system as you mention in your Car, there perhaps also is a possibility to look for the ppc on the system of the car. If this is the case, you have to put your ppc in 'discoverymodus'. To do this, go to settings, tab connections, bluetooth, 2nd tab 'mode' and select both checkboxes. press ok.
Then look for it in the cars system.
Thanks, it is now working
Thanks for the tip, I tried this then found the info in a thread for another handset (Hermes) here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338663&page=2
The problem/challenge was part XDA, part Ford. Where else apart from XDA Developers would you get an answer !

Hi All,
tried searching the threads on ICS upgrade with bluetooth and Blue&Me but unfortunately couldn't find much so thought of writing.
I have upgraded to the official sony ICS ROM via PC Companion on my Arc (LT15i).... done a repair... and set it up exactly the way i want to. must say that i loved it and am quite happy with the performance of the phone as well... there's the occasional lag but it isn't too bad as yet.
Now to my problem (and a few other queries)
1) Bluetooth: Has anybody had any success in pairing the bluetooth with another bluetooth device... preferably a car bluetooth system? I had it working perfectly on the GB (.62) ROM and could use the phone via my Fiat Linea's Blue&Me feature. Now i just can'[t pair it.... when i search for devices it does show Blue&Me but when i try to pair it all i get is that wait cursor kinda thing and then back to search devices screen. it just doesn't pair and give me the option to enter the passcode generated by Blue&Me.
2) Has anyone faced any issues in editing contacts which are synched to Google? Thankfully the HD Pics now work as google sync is not resizing them but in some contacts when i try to edit it the screen simply scrolls back to the top. these are linked contacts (Gmail... Facebook... Facebook inside Xperia.... Whatsapp).
thank you very much in advance for any help that the gurus on this forum can give. I'd especially like to get the bluetooth working as i can live with the contacts editing issue!
thanks, Maverick

Inviato dal mio ST18i
I had a few issues connecting to my Ford when I was on 4.0.3.
It seems to work ok for me when I initiate the pairing from my car stereo. Then my phone will display the "bluetooth device wants to connect" and allow me to enter the code.

i searched but apparently there is no forum where Devs work on B&me hacks :-(
Did you try to clear the old pairing from the stereo? I had to reset the bt on mine. Before the phone would see it ..

Hello
the phone "sees" the blue and me and try do pairs...but no popup asking for the pin appears...i wonder if there is any way to force the phone to ask the pin given my blue and me:-(
I think the problem is with Blue&Me... I've a Parrot and a Chinese GPS integrated in the other Car, and no problem with both of them.
Try to remove the asociation from the Car and then try to pair again. Maybe the Blue&Me assumes the device is the same and the protocol may be different.
In case it doesn't work this way, maybe you need an update from Fiat.

Thanks, i will try this tomorrow and update with my results.
getting something from Fiat is probably never going to happen.... they can't get those teeny weenie yet important spare parts for the car available when you need them most so i doubt they are going to do a B&M upgrade [Country: India]
I had issues at first with my ford but it seems if I initiate pairing from my car stereo, it works fine
Same issue on Subaru forster
have the same issue on Subaru after updating to ICE, the Xperia ARC identify the car media, but it fails (and no pin enter screen)
This is not happening in GB so I guess it is an ICE issue.
Anyone have news on it? or maybe some ROM do support BT?
duplicate post
same problem on mercedes and LT18i (xperia ray) It won't ask the pin. Sometimes I see it connected for less than a second.
I don't have the possibility to connect from car radio, it has te be connected via the phone.
Time to get a laptop to the car and chech with adb logcat

found this whist searching online.
The Workaround:
1) Turn on bluetooth on your smartphone and open a contact card.
2) Start the pairing of hands-free of the car.
3) When the blue & me asks for the code, send the contact via Bluetooth: The phone searches for other devices. Selecting "Blue & Me", you have the opportunity to enter the code presented on the dashboard.
4) Now Blue & Me will ask you to copy the address book: Select "Yes".
5) In the notification bar of smartphone is prompted to connect bluetooth: select "do not ask for more" and accept the request.
