Hi, I'm a first time poster and I'm on the verge of pulling my hair out.
I have an SPV M600 and have just bought a Pioneer DEH P75BT car stereo because of its bluetooth capabilities.
It has two bluetooth modes: Telephone and BT Audio. After a lot of playing around I have managed to get both modes working together....ish!!!
I've installed the A2DP hack from this site enabling the streaming audio which actually sounds fantastic through the car speakers.
The problem is that to get the BT Audio to work I have to delete and repair the phone with the stereo every time I get in the car. This involves the following actions:
Open Comm Manager
Tap settings
Tap bluetooth settings
Tap devices
Tap and hold the Pioneer BT unit
Tap delete
Tap yes to confirm deletion
Tap new partnership
Wait for scanning to complete
Tap the Pioneer BT unit
Tap next
Enter passkey (four taps)
Tap next
Tap finish
As you can imagine, this process is a real pain in the backside every time I get in the car so my question is this.
Can the above actions be automated in just one command? If so how? (bearing in mind I do not really know how to write scripts)
If someone could even point me in the direction of learning to write a script for this I would be grateful. I have downloaded and installed MortScript but I don't really know what I'm doing with it.
Why when you tap and hold the device doesn't the "set as wireless stereo" command work the same as when the stereo and phone are newly paired? Surely it's the same command.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Can't help you except to say that I experienced the same with a pioneer BT radio too. My soolution was to return it to the store and buy myself a parrot BT car kit which works just fine...

Luckily I don't give up this easily. I have played around with and taught myself the basics of mortscript and have managed to write myself a script that does all of the above in one command. It's not quite perfect yet but it does mean that I can get in my car and start driving whilst the phone is busy pairing itself with the stereo.
The problems I am having so far are as follows:
I have to soft reset the phone each time before pairing with the stereo, otherwise the audio only seems to be transmitted to the front left speaker in my car, which is a bit strange.
I am forcing mortscript to try to pair with the first device in the list of detected devices, which is fine if there's no-one alse with a bluetooth device in the vicinity but not if there is and it detects theirs before mine.
Does anyone know if I could get mortscript to select a detected device by it's name "Pioneer BT unit" rather than selecting the device by simulating a tap on the screen? Also, if the device called "Pioneer BT unit" is not found the first time, scan for bluetooth devices again.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hello I had the same problem: erase, new, etc.
but i have discovered one thing: you must only change de name in the bt description of your hands free

I was just about to point this fella in your direction ...
You'd have to do an indefinite loop while checking a registry value to see if your stereo was found. There is a key, i'm sure, for a list of found devices but I don't know where that is. As for detecting your car stereo as the one to pair with; depends on what keys are saved, sounds like it may just be possible.
I'll have a look into this as I'd like to get this stereo also if it can connect & stream automatically
If returning it is still an option, I'd get the Sony Bluetooth Audio headunit. Works great for listening to audio from your phone. It pairs it automatically. I also use Jawbone headset for talking on the phone. It kicks off the stereo and goes to the headset when a call comes in.
The built in mic is in the headunit and in my loud car, its subpar in quality. Whicj is why I use the excellent Jawbone.
I personally own a Peekton 950 car stereo and it works great with my wm5 (a2dp enabled) and my new WM6. the only thing that it does not do is autodiscover and connect the A2DP while it does it for the headset profile.
one other thing I would enjoy is to have the idtag displayed while getting the A2dp but I guess this is not part of the spec.
As I wrote in this topic, I guess the A2DP profile has two way of linking.
1°) The "headset" way : a bluetooth A2DP headset initiates communication to the music player/WM device.
2°) The "passive" way : The speaker just waits for a known bluetooth audio player to connect/link to it.
What surprises me is the fact you need to unpair-repair your device everytime : have you tried what I explain in the previous topic : just go to bluetooth devices , long tap on your spearker's name and choose "use as bluetooth speaker" (may not be exact name of the option since I've a French phone ).
On my phone, this simple (but annoying enough) action connects my phone to my bluetooth speaker (not an in-car one).
Hope this helps
PS : If you find any way to script/automatize the connection or any app more convenient than opeining the bluetooth setting, I'd be very pleased to be informed
This probably wont help the OP's problem, but for the rest, this freeware is brilliant, and can be automated using command line switches to work via mapped keys.

Many thanks for this piece of software Susur. I tried it, but I didn't manage to use it to initiate connection to my bluetooth a2dp speaker.
It's a very usefull software when your device is connected to an A2DP speaker/headphone.
There is a DIY option bluetooth headset acting as audio receiver.

Hi all
As this is my first post I just want to say a big thankyou for all the contributers to this site, awesome information and keep up the good work.
I have been running Black Majik on my M3100 for a week or so now and have been really impressed. the only slightly annoying problem I have is with my BT Stereo headset (HTC BH S100) which I have had only a couple of days.
Listening to music and controlling the media player(s) (Audio Manager and WMP) is fine, the problem I get is answering/initiating calls from the headset. After a reboot of the phone, the headset works OK for both music and calls, but after turning the headset off/on, the call handling functions don't work although wireless stereo does - its as though the phone loses the headset profile but not wireless stero. Stopping/Starting the BT stack from comm manger seems to reinstate the headset functions but this is frustrating!
I have searched multiple forums but have not found anything of use yet!!
Does anyone have any ideas
Thanks in advance

same problem
please help us
Up ... Same WM6 version, same problem ... with a Nokia BT Headset, and a Sony Ericsson too ...
Thank you.
guess i have a worse problem then. cant hear my phone ring from my BT HS. not that ive tried to figure it out. i can live without listening to music. but it would be interesting to know how everyone is able to hear their phone ring from their headsets. im thinking its because of my headset. i have a moto hs810. does anybody concur?

I have the same problem and I've tried a P3600 and kaiser and the same problem.
As merlynuk wrote the problem seem that the HD lose a free hand function of it profile and only a reset and sometime a pairng od device solve it.
It's for me important to use this function in car or call a voice command but the MTB button seem not work.
bought this HD because belived it would be perfect with a HTC PDA but it's not really.
Do you have some suggestion ?
Do you believe it's better to sell this HD and to buy another ?
Someone know a HD device thet work perfectly as free hand and function as a call, a start a vocal command etc etc work fine ?
Regards
aladino
got the same problem: bought the HTC BH S100 after my touch cruise cause I thought to have no problem with vocal commands, but it doesn't work. music, player control, phone and pairing are perfect but no vocal dialling..
how can we solve this??
Well, being that this is my first post, I would first like to say that this site and forums are top notch, I have had my 8525 for about a month now and have learned an immense amount of knowledge in a short amount of time thanks to you guys. Now for my problem...
I have my 8525 running Black Magik, radio 1.43.00 and have recently purchased a pair of Sony DR-BT21G A2DP stereo headphones. Now I was a bit weary about buying these since I have seen no mention of them on these forums... buy anyways. When I first paired the devices together I was able to listen to music without problem, though sound needed to be tweaked. After trolling for quite some time through the forums (yes, the search feature works great) I found what appeared to be the best A2DP setting for audio quality, and now after playing with every possibility cannot get music routed to the headset, phone calls work without a hitch. I have downloaded BTAudio to route all system sounds to the headset but It doesn't seem to work. I toggle BTAudio on and I can hear slight static through the phones but the audio still comes out through the system speaker. I have played with A2DP settings in both pimp my black and HTweakC but have not had any success. I am planning on reflashing Majik tonight to attempt to set it up from scratch, but I was wondering if anyone here could shed some light on this issue? Thanks in advance.

Delete the pairing. SR. Re-pair. Should do hte trick. Better yet - for the most stable ROM and A2DP tweaked for the best sound "out of the box" - reflash with Sleuth255 variant of LVSW ROM.
How exactly can I delete the pair? I can repair the device but have not seen an option to remove it?
To toggle Audio to A2DP you might want to see:

There's a description and a link to download the CAB for A2DPToggle plugin too.
Let me know how it works on your hardware.
I have been using the Touch Pro 2 for a little while now, and I must say: no regret at all that I've bought it.
But the reason I post here is because I'm having a problem with my car-kit and the Touch Pro 2 when they are connected through bluetooth.
First of all, some data about the car-kit
Car stereo: JVC KD-BT22
Bluetooth functions: handsfree calling and Bluetooth Audio Streaming
Bluetooth version: 1.2 certified
Profile: HFP 1.5, OPP 1.1, A2DP 1.2, AVRCP 1.3
The situation:
When I pair the devices I can check two options:
1) Handsfree
2) Stereo Audio
This should be fine, but the problem comes next:
- When I both check handsfree and stereo audio, I don't get any streaming audio (I just hear about one second the song which is playing at the phone), if I call or get called nothing hapenned except the display of the phone showing the caller. The car-kit just keeps playing (for example) the CD.
- When I uncheck the stereo audio, just connecting the handsfree everything works "fine" (some small problems, not mentionable).
- When I only connect stereo audio the same happens as described before: the song which is playing at the phone I hear about one second, and after that it's silenced (the song is still "going forward", but no sound, nor on the phone, nor on the car stereo).
I've tried different set-ups, searched the forums and didn't saw anyone with this problem/no sollution, so I hope someone could help me.
This happened with the Stock Rom and also the custom rom I'm using right now, no difference. When I connect a stereo headphone (from Nokia) through Bluetooh, everything works fine.
don't pair from the phone use your Radio to pair...i had the same problem with my Pioneer at first so i searched for the device from my stereo and it worked just fine and ...i hope this helps... and make sure your discovery is always on...take care!
Well, that in a case makes sense...
The carkit also connected to my phone when discovery was turn off. Seemed strange to me already. A little, maybe stupid, question: what do I need to swith off/turn off on the phone so the phone won't connect to the carkit, but that I have to let the carkit connect to the phone?
HTC aware
I have similar problems with the BT stack in the TP2, which is disappointing having migrated from a Snap. I e-mailed HTC who admit they are aware of BT problems with the TP2 and advised me to keep an eye on the support page for a fix.

I also tried mailing HTC about this problem. The reply wasn't so hopegiving
"We're sorry, but the carkit isn't compatible. Please fill out the form for our technical support team"... Summary: I've not been too lucky with this combination
Hope they might do something about it after all. Me just thinking that Bluetooth = Bluetooth, but it's more complicated than that.
I also have the same problem with JVC-KD-AVX2 streaming audio. couple of times i did manage to get it to work, but once the stereo is turned off and on, i lose the streaming again.
i called HTC and emailed them. one said my stereo is not compatible, but i did have it working kind of.
not sure what the problem is as the touch pro1 worked fine. also my friends N97 worked fine
did all of you use your stereo to search for your phone or your phone to search for your stereo... if u used your phone then try using the stereo to to look for your phone under the connections menu and it should work

Sorry for my late reply.
I can't connect/pair the phone using the stereo, to bad.
Well, I have the Pioneer Stereo and what I discovered was you have to do it from the stereo. For some unknown reason it errors out from phone. Since that, I have no problems, further more it reads my text as well as incoming e-mails. Hope that help

Which Pioneer are you using? I'm using the F700, and for some reason it won't mute the radio when in a call. I haven't gotten time to mess around with it much though. Reading incoming texts would be great.
i bought a car kit MP3 player for my car. I paired it with my TP2 and enabled the "BT Audio" and "BT Handsfree". Outgoing calls work fine with no problems at all. But during incoming calls there is a problem. If the incoming call is from someone saved in my contacts, the BT carkit does not ring. If its from an unknown number (not saved in my contacts), it works perfectly. I tried all the tweaks and hacks in this forum but nothing worked. Anymore ideas.

x2, exact same problem with MY pioneer on 6.1 ... took me an hour to figure out how to pair it correctly, and it happened completely by accident out of frustration while I was pounding my fists into the horn haha. Now I know better...
set your phone to discoverable, then pair from the radio, confirm on the phone. good luck - Mark

The only thing I can think of is that maybe you have different ringtones set up for contacts and unknown contacts. Or your carkit is broken.
Hope this helps - Mark

Try the cab from this thread ------> Fix for playing ringtones over bluetooth headset.
It's meant so that the actual ringtone you have set will play on the car kit. I know my car kit used to have its own ring which was... boring to say the least. Now the various ring tones set to people on my phone play through the car kit. Anyway... This MIGHT fix the issue you guys are having as well.

Yes i do have diifferent ringtones for contacts and also different pictures. The problem is in the contacts name. When i remove the name and leave it unnamed it works fine.
Thanks for your reply..

it did not fix my problem but thanks anyway. The problem im facing is that any contact saved with a name wont be recieved on the car kit. while if its left unnamed it will work fine.
Yesterdaty I updated to WM6.5 and now try to get everything working again. Somehow my TP2 won't pair with my bluetooth carkit anymore. With WM6.1 this was no problem. The phone still pairs perfectly with my computer (also bluetooth connection) so I think the bluetooth connection is ok.
When parining to my carkit it finds the device, then I have to enter a password on the TP2, and after that it just sais "pairing connection failed", and it will not work. I am sure the password is not changed since yesterday. I tried it several times. I do not know what to do anymore. Could this be a setting somewhere? I get the feeling my password is not send properly but have no idea.
Meanwhile I tried pairing my carkit with another phone and no problems there. So my conclusion is: something has changed with bluetooth, updating to WM6.5 which makes it now impossible to pair my TP2 with my carkit.
Is there maybe a programm for the TP2 which give me more controll over bluetooth (like maybe go to an older standard)?
I have exactly the same problem as you
good to hear I am not the only one. Hope someone will come up with a solution for this.
I did nor observed any issues when pairing my TP2 after reflashing to WM6.5
There is another issue however - I can not hear any voice until it is charging.
Unplugging of the charger fixes this issue immediately. Horrible...
Seems, HTC guys are saving money on testing by using us as Beta Customers.
Would a custom ROM be a solution for us?
I updated to the "energy 6.5.1 rom" and guess what..............
The same problem. The rom is very nice, but my TP2 still won't pair with my BT carkit which is very big problem for me.
Is there maybe a way to downgrade just the BT part of a rom to WM6.1. I read on different forums there is something that is called a BT stack. Could this be the problem?
I have a ton of problems with bluetooth pairing now. However, I don't know whether it's the fault of 6.5 or the Tilt 2. Here is what I am experiencing...
- On car deck or headphones, the skip buttons don't do anything
- on car deck or headphones, I have to disconnect Stereo Audio and then reconnect to actually get sound. It NEVER works when it auto connects.
- Music will do a brief skip when you shut the screen off
- Stupid message about volume control every time it connects (resolved by switching to custom rom)
- SMS or any kind of alert tone now turns music way down so that the tone is the only thing you hear. Which is super awesome when I'm driving my drunk friends around and they are singing along to a song when suddenly it mutes so everyone can hear my incoming text message.
Not a single one of these issues existed when I had my Fuze.
Same here
My bt headset (sony hbh ds970) and simply does not find the pairing...
I asume is a problem related to energy´s ROM

No I do not think so, because I used the official WM6.5 with the same problem. Does someone know a way around this issue. I strongly believe that if only I could pair I have some options to work with it (in 6.1 it worked like a charm). If I only could pair without having to send the passkey it would be great step forward. I presume with sending the passkey, the bluetooth of the TP2 sends out other "rubbish" that confuses my carkit.
My problem is solved and guess what, it had nothing to do with my TP2. The problem was my carkit. It has a maximum number of bluetooth devices (5) it can pair to and the last one (the WM6.1 version of my phone) had been reached. So a hard reset on the bluetooth carkit and the problem was solved.
Well, at least I now know how to flash a rom to my phone and I think I learned more about the phone reading through all the forums. Thanks all for thinking with me on this problem!
Does anyone else still have this problem?? I have removed all the devices from my car and continue to have the same pairing error just after entering the passcode. Stock Spint ROM worked great, but multiple 6.5 upgrades don"t pair..............suggestions/ideas??????
bluetooth settings, advanced, enable beam data exchange,check the box
Interesting.....I actually found a fix. Instead of pairing the phone with the car, I paired the car with the phone. I didn't even know that this was possible, but it did the trick!
