Any one know which portable Bluetooth handsfree kit works on the Desire, I have a Parrot Minikit at the moment which connects to the desire but will do nothing else. Can't send contacts to it, if I use the phone to initiate the call it will not go through the mini kit the desire just make a normal call by it's self.

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?
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)
Need a help to make T7373RUS works with bluetooth mono handsfree.
Actually it works with, but does not the whole functionality, one thing is missing - it's a voice dialing via pressing call button on BT handsfree. OK, I know T7373 (non USA) does not have any voice dialing, but this is a WM, well I set up VITO VoiceDialer and it works perfect. But there is a problem - my bluetooth handsfree don't launch it. I've tryed to use wired handsfree it works perfect. What is a point, why such perfect phone cannot does that any nokia or SE phone does like a piece of cake.
Please help, this is really sad thing need to be fixed, can some one to figure out how to solve this?
May be anyone know USA version of Tp2 uses the same bluetooth stack?
May be some parts of USA version software is possible to integrate into my TP2?
Does anybody use Bluetooth handsfree with HTC TouchPro2????
just wondering if anyone might have an idea on how i can get my Desire to connect to a nokia in car handsfree kit... which connects via bluetooth..
I assumed all bluetooth devices could talk to each other but when i turn my bluetooth on and press the button in car to search for devices it fails to locate my desire....
Anyone got a workaround or idea on any way to get it to work??
Cheers for any advice
p.s. its a new car i just got.. and it had the kit already fitted
i assume the lack of replys indicates im not getting this sorted ;0(
Surely its cant be the case i need to rip out a perfectly good bluetooth handsfree car kit (its wired all in throug the ceiling and behind the dash!) and have another installed every time i fancy a change of phone? thats rediculous ;(

Usually you use the phone to search for devices: Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks > Check Bluetooth > Bluetooth Settings > Scan for Devices > Select your nokia device
Kit to find the phone, you will need to make the phone Discoverable: Follow the steps above, instead of Scan for Devices check Discoverable. But like I said before, use the phone to search for your car's handsfree kit.
As above make sure the phone is set to be visible and search for the nokia kit from the phone when the little led is flashing constantly (assuming it's one of those little button type nokia kits)
I had one working fine with my desire - from memory it could answer the call but couldnt hang up, was fine in call though.
I have a trouble using my HTC Desire with my car Hands Free Kit. The car kit is Motorola T605. A2DP streaming and outgoing calls work perfectly but every time there is an incoming call it is not routed to the hands free. The ROM I am using is a rooted 2.2 stock ROM.
While searching through this and other forums I found out that De-Frost ROM solves this issue. I believe it is because De-Frost include N1 bluetooth stack instead of HTC's but, no sense means no FM Radio which is really important for me.
Does anyone know a solution for this issue that allows using a sense enabled ROM?
Thanks!
