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 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.

I'd rather go with the widecomm BT
I installed the Hermes Widcomm BT stack on my Universal. Sound is great, but the rest is troublesome. We need a developer to fix the code for us so it works on the UNiversal .
Check my thread in UNiversal/accessories. Or move that thread over here please!

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?
KEEPING this post updated.

Quoted from my A2DP/AVRCP thread in accessories.
Even with the new WM6 roms - I have tried ALLLLLLLLLL of them the bluetooth phone quality sucks.
I am using the new Pdaviet 2.0.03 (something like that) and i have tried
THREE different headsets
Jabra BT250v
Jabra BT500
Jabra BT500v
All have the same crackly sound issue. But with my blackberry (ass phone, i HATE it) the sound is PERFECT.
I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tired of carrying two phones with me - i can not live without my memory (or i mean the universal, which i use as my personal assistant). But my clients can not live with the quality of the phone call connection. Now if I do not use my bluetooth and hold the GIANT universal up to my head (kinda like a military field radio) then the clarity of the call is great.
It is the Bluetooth stack i am 100% sure of it.
OMG Helmi_c let me have your widcomm stack PLEASE I will even pay you for it.

Thanks for the info
I changed the channel in the registry of the device to channel 5 as suggested on that webpage. It was the same quality. I then tried a few other channels and the same results - connection quality still staticy.
Thank you very much for trying to help me though. Fish

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
I've searched around for this and can't find anything, so maybe someone can help to point me in the right direction or let me know that at least the problem is known but not fixed yet.
I can't get Wifi and Bluetooth to work on my 8525 with WM6, currently using Schap's 3.54c rom and radio version 1.48.
I have motorola s805 stereo bluetooth headphones and would like to stream radio over my work's wifi and hear it on my headphones.
The problem is Neither wifi or bluetooth work reliably when used at the same time, (no problems individually). I have even tried reducing the bit pool, but can't take it below 24 because it sounds to bad then, but it still doesn't work.
Anyone have any ideas or can at least verify you have the same problem?
I have the same issue when trying to play internet radio over wifi with my ht820 a2dp linked to the jasjam (Sleuths v2 rom). The only time i ever got a2dp and wifi streaming to work was with the widcomm bt driver that is now extinct.
Thus i have come to the conclusion that the problem is not with the hw but has more to do with the standard ms bt stack.
If anyone has found a workaround please do share
Thats a start
Thanks, that is helpful.
I remember seeing a widcomm stack thread....
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Widcomm_stack
I'm going to check that out, also if there is a specific rom that comes with the widcomm stack I'd be interested to know.
I find that with bluetooth turned on I can associate to my Cisco AP at all. As soon as I turn Bluetooth off it works fine.
I had hoped my issue was due to the way the particular WM6 was put together but now Im using offical Dopod and it is the same.
Widcomm stack
Well I found this
http://www.htc-devs.com/uploads/Univ...m_bt_stack.CAB
at the end of the Widcomm stack for Hermes development thread.
I'm not sure where it came from, but I installed it and so far I can use IE while connected to my home wireless network, and listen to music on my headphones.
The com manager will not show bluetooth as being on, but go to settings-bluetooth and you can re-pair.
Currently I'm getting some hiccups, but its working at least. I'll keep you updated and I would still like to see a rom that incorporates this stack so that the com manager works right.
It also changes the headset icon on the top bar.
Streaming!
I'm streaming SomaFM with no problems!
AVRCP problems
I didn't notice this at first, but after the widcomm stack has been installed the AVRCP functions don't work... so Im going back.
AVRCP
It works in WMP, just not audiomanager anymore.
Bricking Blog
Pretty much what this thread has turned into.
If you install that cab above, don't uninstall it, you'll get bricked.

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I am using XDA Orbit 2 and a car-radio Maqma MQ-106BT. This radio offers Bluetooth-connection to my XDA. It supports the BT-headset (A2DP) and the handsfree profiles.
After pairing the car-radio is shown with both active profiles in the settings-screen of the XDA.
I want the car-radio to play the radio program and to give the TomTom-voice using the car-speakers. The system works very well for the phonefunktion. But if I start TomTom the radio sound stops and only the voice of TomTom is to be heard but nothing between the TomTom comments. It seems, as if TomTom uses the BT-headset Profile and thus the radio is always waiting for sound from the XDA.
Are there XDA-settings which would help me or is there a possibility to force TomTom to use the handsfree profile, thus only muting the radio if there are comments from the navigation?
I hope here are some experts who are able to help me!
Best regards from Luebeck
Micha
Hi,
I can't believe it: Not even one answer?
Is it really such a special task? I have thought that here in this forum there are only XDA-specialists???
Please, if there is someone who has an idea, please help!!!

Micha
Bump, I have a similar question in the Athena forum. Best guess I have is to mess with the registry to force the tomtom commands to not go through A2DP, but through HCP (phone signal) - that way priority is assured, but you may have to physically hang up the signal to get back to radio. At least the signal would start automatically....
As far as i know to allow the radio to be played in between tomtom voice commands you would need a fixed wired connection and also a car radio system that allows line in input to be switched on and off. The problem isnt the PDA the problem is the radio system in the car.

i have the same issue with the tytn2, i cant get my tomtom sound over my radio.
I'd appreciate it if anyone could help!
fwiw, I am still searching the forum for a solution. I have found some old bluetooth posts, that may hold the key:

in particular, message #2 of thread, concerning BTAudioNav hack:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1046077&postcount=2
Some of this info is dated, so I haven't tried anything yet, and as the posts indicate, it takes 2 to tango. The WM6 device may be doing everything right, but the equipment you are pairing to may not be able to be configured correctly....
Update, BTAudioNav is not working, I assume that it is for PocketPC and I am running WM6

I have the same problem.
Phone: HTC tytn2
Bury Wired Handfree
Perfect Sound Quality for Calls but: No system Sound, no TomTom Sound.
Yesterday i drive on the Highway, Tomtom was on and a call was incoming but the tytn2 was rebooting by him self .... AND NOW IT WORKS !
I hear all tomtom commands! I don't no why but it works!!!
Update, it seems that tomtom goes over the a2dp signal and not the handsfree profile.
If it was handsfree profile, it would cut into the car stereo music. A2dp doesn't have priority though with most car stereos.
Had I known this, I wouldn't of purchased tomtom....
Hello!
I have a car GPS Navigator which has a feature to pair with a mobile phone or PDA via bluetooth to use it as handsfree, view contacts, make calls from GPS screen ans so on. Both devices can see each other via bluetooth but the problem is that they can't pair. My BA has WM6.1 installed, I haven't any problems with bluetooth yet. May be BA does't support this functionality or it does'n have appropriate Bluetooth Profile ?
May be it would be useful to someone with similar issue. My bluetooth problem has been resolved just by installing WM6.5 ROM ! I've tried almost all versions of WM6.5 located on xda-developers and every one has the bt stack much better than WM6.1 has.
