Parrot CK3300 GPS CAR KIT - Any experience?

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?

Bluetooth problem

I recently installed the HTC WM6 ROM and was pleased with its speed etc. however the bluetoth has changed in some way and I was unable to use my Mototola handsfree car kit. I then tried the B&B 3.7 and had the same problem.
Is there a workaround i.e. have the wm6 rom with the old bluetooth ?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Some car-kits show as a headset, some as a hands free. The WM6 blutooth only seems to recognise Hands Free. My car kit does both, On Nokia it shows both, on WM6 only Hands Free.
Does anyone have a Headset Stack?

WM6 and car kit!
I have the same problem! If i activate the hansfree e deactivate it works! Is a motorola a like carkit! Can sameone help me? Tks

I have the cheapo aldi BT car cd radio. If I turn the radio on then the BT on my phone the radio mutes. But if I do it the other way round, ie BT on then turn radio on, it worls fine

HTC WM6 - Car Kit Bluetooth Problem (no sound at all)

After upgrade to the official HTC WM6 ROM (spanish version) my integrated bluetooth hansdfree CAR-KIT doesn't work anymore (with WM5 the system works perfectly).
The car is a new CITROËN C4 Picasso, but i think this problem must involve any new PSA Group Car (CITROËN, PEUGEOT...) that mount the same kit.
I can pair the CITROËN hansfree with the TyTN, and both connects (i can see the operator name, the battery level, and the signal level, that WM5 stack doesn't show) but when i try to call, or i receive a call, there is no sound throw the hansfree system.
I also have tried the Jetware bt extension with no succes.
At now i had to downgrade to WM5 because this problem (i need the handsfree working).
The cuestion is...
Is it possible for a ROM MASTER to extract a previous bluetooth working TyTN stack to overwrite the stack that comes with official WM6?... (the WM5 or any working WM6 working stack).
Thanks

The same problem here with the same car; also the Artemis on WM6 (I tried several roms) has no sound.
Downgraded to WM5, and it's all working again.
Not yet tried to get an update for the car; maybe there is also a solution.

I have the same problem with Motorola HF-850 car kit. I'm about to downgrade too. This sux.

Same issue here with Nissan Sentra 2008.
I can dial and receive calls but the audio works about 30% or the time. It is hit or miss.

Same here in a 2007 UK CITROËN C4 (5 door hatchback) with factory fitted Bluetooth car kit, using an Orange M3100 with the Schap's WM6 Pro 3.60a ROM. Looks like I'm going back to the Orange WM5 ROM as this is a deal breaker for me. Very disappointing.

try this
I had similair problems a few pretty good solutions:
-jetware search google i use this one
-Solution:2
Change the COD (Class of Device) from a PDA device to a smartphone device.
This can be done this way:
1. First make sure you've got a backup, or remember all settings you change in the registry.
2. Edit with a registry editor the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\SYS\COD
By default my vario II does have the value: 1048852 (decimal)
Change this to: 5374476 (decimal).
3. Soft restart your device
4. Voila! Your device now identifies itself as a smartphone

Thanks!
I tried the Jetware solution: no luck.
I also tried the COD trick: very strange result, I was able to make just 1 (one) call and other calls were again not possible (no sound).
Maybe there is a solution in updating the software of the handsfree set in the car. I will ask my Citroen agent to do this, if possible.
I will post the results.

I haven't tried the COD trick, but I don't think this will work. It's not a case of my car 'ignoring' my M3100... it pairs OK, and the car's display shows an incoming call, allows me to pick it up, etc, but no sound comes out of the speakers and the other party doesn't hear my voice. It's like the car is receiving the data stream to tell it what's happening on the call, but not the sound.
I don't have any of these problems with WM5, I don't even need to use the JetWare solution.

same problem with Peugeot 407
Same problem here with Peugeot 407
What I found is that if I start a call without Bluetooth and start Bluetooth during the caal, the sound works perfectly. Every next call has the same problem as before though.
TyTN; WM6 Schap's 3.60a;Radio 1.47.00.10

Hi.
I am with Motorola's HF-850 car kit and I get the sound only after 8-10 full seconds from answering. It is so sad that I have to say "wait....wait" every time I answer a call....

There is a post on this forum that suggests someones got it working with an Audi and the latest Black beta rom...
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/hermes-black-rom-support/11291-black-x-beta-2-smash-trash-11.html
Anyone tried this?
This post also suggests that the newest Black roms may have fixed the issue
http://htc-devs.com/forum/index.php?topic=42.msg321;topicseen
Here's hoping!

That will not work on the Artemis
But I tried several WM6 roms, including the Black & Blue 4.1: no luck.
Looks like a real WM6 issue, as it's happening with several phone models.
UPDATE: No software update for the factory Citroen bluetooth handsfree according to the local dealer; so that's no solution

I have tried 5 of the latest roms yesterday including all the fixed mentioned in this forum. The best I got was with Sleuth rom where I get audio about 50% of the time. Answering with that rom results in a 5 seconds delay before audio connects causing me to yell "wait, wait, I am here ... "
I even tried a blootooth stack from Broadcomm but the result was not better.
Out of desperation as I bought this car specially for its built in bluetooth kit, I downgraded to Cingular Mobile 5 Rom version (2.15.502.3)
I am surprised and kind of thrilled to report that my 8525 and the car kit are working perfectly together and reliably.
There must be either a bug or a setting/configuration issue on the Mobile 6 bluetooth stack that caused this issue. I am unfortunately back to mobile 5 for the time being until this issue is resolved.

SPV m3100, CK3100 AND WM6
I have an Orange SPV M3100 in Spain with WM6 and i have the same problem. With WM5 and Jetware estension, i had to pair parrot and pda manually every time i got into my car, because they did not connect automatically (Blueetoth-->Devices-->Parrot CK3100-->FreeHand-->OK), but then it works well and i could receive and make phone calls.
But since I upgrade to WM6 i have to pair it manuaaly too, they connect, but it only works from time to time; most times, if i make a call it dials but i cannot speak and people does not hear me; if there is an incoming call, I see the number in the displsy but i can receive it.
Anybody with WM6 and Parrot Ck3100 works well?

I have the same problem with a Mio C520 SatNav. Its bluetooth handsfree works fine with WM5 but not WM6.
I also posted this on a thread on bluetooth headsets, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301636&page=6
I tried many different versions. So far with Sleuth's WM6, I had sound around 50% of the time. Similar to one of the previous posters.
Until there is a fix I will have to go back to WM5

I use a parrot car kit and it works fine. However, I noticed some new functionality on my lcd, like displaying battery and signal levels which was not available with the original WM5. That was available only with specific phones. Based on that I believe that a firmware update of your car kit could solve the problem. The issue is whether this is provided for you and if you will have to pay. Parrot offers them for free and you can upgrade via BT.

Problems with "Parrot Minikit" hands free car kit

Hi all,
I just bought the Parrot minikit Hands Free car kit.
I am facing allot of problems with this device:
1. The main one is that when I am issuing a call from the TOUCH, the sound remains in the TOUCH and is not routed to the car kit.
2. When someone calls me most of the times I can answer the call and it works fine, but sometimes the phone rings and the car kit not.
I read in the trinity accessories forums that people faced the same problems with other Parrot car kits when they upgraded their roms to WM6.
I opened a SUPPORT case to Parrot and they are saying:
"We have fully tested the HTC Touch in France with our Minikit and we did not see any impediments. "
So I emailed them back with allot of links describing the problem.
Did anyone faced problems with the Parrot Mnikit or any other Parrot car kit with the Touch?
Thanks,
Carmi

Carkit problem
Hi,
I have a similar problem. I have my HTC touch paired with a Nokia Bluetooth carkit. I get incomming calls over the speaker but when I answer the call I first have to go to the menu and select "enable handsfree calling".
I can make outgoing calls directly via the carkit whitout selecting an option in the menu. Furthermore the volume is very low compared to my prvious PD (MDA Vario).
Has anyone a fix for this?
Gus

I have The same problem
I have an HTC Touch with a Parrot CK3100 freehand car Kit and have the same problem.
Often, when I receive a call the car kit show the call in display but when I pick up the CK shows an icon (like a musical note) and the audio is not transferred.
When I call from the HTC, some times works fine and some times no.
A partner of my company with the same car kit and a HTC Touch dual, has the same problem too.
With WM5 works fine (I test it with HP6515).

did you set the "services to use from this device" to "Hands Free" ?

This is a known issue with Parrot devices and WM6. I've had the same problem with a couple of different HTC WM6 devices. The problem is specifically related to Parrot, not WM6 in general. I've used the Tytn II with Motorola and BlueAnt BT devices without any problems. I upgraded my minikit from v1.02 software to v1.03, but that hasnt fixed the symptoms which we are all complaining of.
ARE YOU LISTENING PARROT?! Ive had the minikit for 6 months and I'm getting tired of waiting for a version of software that will fix all our problems.

I have the exact same issue with my Parrot 3200. I'm also waiting for a solution from Parrot!

Parrot MINIKIT and Touch problems
I've similar problem.
paired the two devices, sometimes I can start a call from my Touch and the sound is on the MINIKIT speaker, but most of the times the is still on the phone and I have to press the green button to switch the call on the parrot speaker.
I've upgraded the firmware from 1.02 to 1.03.
Another information: I've tested the MINIKIT with my blackberry 8100 and works perfectly, when paired and connected every calls is routed to the parrot speaker, so I think It's an issue between the parrot and WM6.
Any news?
thank you

Besides my Touch I also use my BlackBerry 8800 and that also works fine. With htc it's not working as it should be.

HTC Touch Parrot mk6100 PROBLEM!
With the Parrot mk6100 I have all the problems possible.
This Parrot is supposed to play properly the mp3 files that I have in the touch, but everything is a dissaster. Very long to write. The thouch gets hunged every time.
The worst problem is that the Parrot can't read the contacts in the Touch.
I have spoken with Parrot and Htc here in Spain and both say that the problem is Windows mobile 6.
I don't know what to do...

ive got the dual w mk6100
after having a lot of issues i found out i had to pair it both ways and the mk6100 got to say "bye". then everything worked fine. well almost. but pretty good indeed.
i posted in niki accesories.
it takes time to sync the contacts, true, but it finally does.
as far as i know, touch and touch dual is not that different , except for the mhz.
let me know what you think

Touch cruise and Parrot Minikit
I have the similar problems too. Sometimes the sound cannot be routed to the car kit. There is no way to understand the reason why one time it works fine and another time it cannot move the sound via blue tooth. Sometimes pressing the green button of the parrot minikit is possible to move the sound to the car kit, sometimes it doesn't help - the sounds remains in the HTC. I tested the Parrot minikit paired with Nokia E70 - I haven't seen any problems. Also I have tested the HTC paired with another blue tooth car kit - BHF-200 and all was OK.
I wonder ... if someone knows ... if the WM6.1 (by Bepe) will fix the problem!
Thanks in advance !

Parrot Minikit just tested with QTEK 900, WM6.1-Ranju
The Parrot minikit was tested with my other PPC - QTEK 9000 (HTC Universal) and I didn't see any problems. The QTEK works under WM6.1 (Ranju pack).
So I really wonder ... to upload WM6.1 to my HTC touch cruise ...
Any comments and opinions are welcome.
Thanks in advance !
p.p. My HTC touch cruise is still with its original WM6.0 ...

Bluetooth Hotfixes
Has any of you guys or girls tried any of the "Bluetooth Hotfixes", that are available for HTC branded devices on the HTC e-Club site.
It seems to fix dropped calls and connection probs. (and it seems to work)
The hotfix is available for several HTC devices.
You just have to register your HTC branded phone to get to the download portion of the site for your model, and see if it's available.
It's definitely there for the Elf, Tytn II and S710 (i'm not sure if it's there for the Touch cruise)

Bluetooth issues with the HTC TYTN II

I recently purchased an AT&T Tilt (TYTN II phone) with Windows 6.1 Dutty Series... since my motorola KRZR took a dump on me....Quite an upgrade...I am trying to use the Motorola H700 Headset from my KRZR on to my HTC, I can get the headset located in the device menu but I cant get the HTC to pair up with the headset on a continual basis. I am also having an issue connecting to a Bluetooth GPS Antenna. I can locate it it just the same as the headset but it wont pair to the HTC nor ask an authorization code.
Is this a bluetooth glitch? Can I somehow reload the driver for the bluetooth? Perhaps I am doing something wrong but I never had a problem linking bluetooth devices before.....
On a separate note....I tried doing an activesync via bluetooth on my Dell Laptop and it again can be located on both ends but I can get any services to work on either side...
Help?

I have just received a new HTC TyTN II on Orange that has the same problem. My old one (windows mobile 6.0) had no problem with my Motorola H12, but the new one (Windows Mobile 6.1) can't keep the pairing, and I have to turn Bluetooth on an off to get the connection. Always have to enter the passcode.
Version data is:
CE OS 5.2.19212 (Build 19212.1.0.3)
Processor: MSM7200-400MHz
ROM version 1.65.16.25
G 25.83.40.02H
D 3.28.00.00
Any help /advice much appreciated!
O.

Pyper,
i don't know how it is on the H700, but on the BlueAnt Z9, you have to hold down the power switch until the LED on the headset blinks red very rapidly, when it does this, the headset is in pairing mode. then you can pair the phone with the headset. try something like this with the H700. if you can, find out how to get the H700 into pairing mode before you try to pair it up.
hope that helps!

I've been having issues with my HTC TyTNII with the official 6.1 ROM and the Jabra BT500V headset. The pairing is automatic in WM6.1. The bluetooth causes the phone to be sluggish and causes call drops if the call's picked up within 3 rings or the call's picked up before it rings on the phone (Yes, Jabra rings first before the phone does). I've escalated this issue to HTC SEA Support and they've advised me to disable Bluetooth and test which I did for the past 3 months :|
I have 3 Jabra headsets (BT250, BT500, BT500V) and all are having the same issue with this ROM. I'm quite skeptical to buy another brand just for testing purposes. Do anyone else face the same issue? HTC SEA has fixes available specific for Jabra / Samsung headsets on Touch Cruise but strangely not on TyTN II

Finds BlueAnt S3 but won't pair
My BlueAnt ST3 pairs fast with a Motorola Razr V3xx but the HTC with WM6 Professional, finds the ST3, prompts for the password (0000) but always fails. On the Razr, I touched the enter key but on the HTC it only beeps. I tried the O.K. key too. The message I am getting after touching "Next" says invalid password or connection. Yes, Bluetooth is turned on and the ST3 as well.
Any ideas anyone?

Hello:
Some time ago I bought an unbranded HTC KAISER with WM6.1:
rom version: 3.29.422.1 WWE
rom date: 05/20/08
radio version: 1.65.20.29
protocal version: 25.88.40.04H
BT VERSION: 2.0/2.0+EDR
BT ADDRESS: 00:17:E8:2E:9F:A1
Anyway, I'm still having bluetooth issues with the unit. The BT works great with BlueAnt Z5i on streaming and music listening but I can't get it to work on phone calls, incoming or outgoing. No sound in the headset nor out of the Mic. Same problem with new Jawbone on calls and a Motorola HS860. Before I waste any more money I thought I'd ask about possile regedits etc. to correct this problem? Or perhaps I should consider new Roms?
Ben lurking here and reading and re-reading and getting more confused..anyone have suggestions or can point me to a probable solution?
Thanks for Listening

I finally got it to pair with BlueAnt ST3 and Motorola T305
BlueAnt ST3: I had to delete the ST3 connection, and get the ST3 in "pairing mode" then have the phone search for bluetooth devices. Doing this I got the password screen and entered the 0000. Driving around testing this, it was not as good as the Motorola Razr V3xx. Not always answering, dropped calls ect.
Motorola BT Speaker: I just received a Motorola T305 BT speaker, same process to get it paired. No voice activated call function yet. Just the two beeps, one indicating it is ready for a command and then it beeps again, and clicks out. The ST3 would talk to you and ask for confirmation.
What I have learned so far, the trick is to get the speaker phone in the pairing mode, so the Kaiser phone will prompt for password.
I am going to sell the Kaiser and buy the HTC touch HD and hope for better bluetooth functionality and reliability.

Hmmm... Actually I have no problem pairing any of the BT items I mentioned, just the handsfree doesn't work in all. Thanks for the reply...
