My Hermes has never fully integrated with my Ford Focus BT Handsfree kit. Although I could always make and receive calls, it rarely read the Contacts on my Hermes and, when I scrolled to the Contacts on the car hifi, it would say Phonebook Not Available. On those occasions when it would read the Contacts, when I had an incoming call, it would indicate the number of the caller, but not the name. Once the call was answered, it would sometimes deign to show me the name.
The break through came when I flashed the PDACornerProV17 ROM. This must have a new BT utility. As soon as I had paired my Hermes, I got a pop up on the phone saying "Ford Audio wants access to your contacts. Do you accept this? Y/N". I have never had this before and, as soon as I tapped Yes, my contacts appeared on the car hifi. Now, when i receive an incoming call, I can see the name before I answer it, not after! Additionally, the car kit keeps a log of incoming and outgoing calls, another first.
So, if any of you have a Ford BT kit, and haven't got it to work properly, flash the PDA Corner ROM.
thanks for your report and recomendation also.
glad to know this info
thanks and regards...
By ford bluetooth kit, do you mean the Sync found in the focus/Fusion?
This works on my ROM with Pioneer BT stereos too...

I mean the built-in bluetooth kit, found in all recent UK Ford cars. It is a factory-fitted addition to the normal car audio, giving hands free phone functions and limited voice commands.
is that the BT Phonebook Access Profile (not SIM AP)?

Sorry, don't know the answer to that. But, if this is a new tool introduced into ROMs, this might explain why I got the message 'Ford Audio is trying to access your phonebook', and why the Hermes contact list is much more accessible through the car hifi.
from what i remember theres these other bluetooth modes, one for sms one for phone book and one other one referred to as profiles
the new roms must have this enabled but not full functionality of new email and sms from the phone i remember a friend saying something about 6.1 has this enabled where as before people needed an app to do it with the first 6 releases?? can someone confirm if this is correct ?
Just wondering if anyone has come across this when i connect my Blue tooth car kit to my TP2 it connects fine i can make calls fine i receive calls fine except those that are in my contacts list
If one of those ring me then the blue tooth device will not answer them the only way i can get it to answer any calls that are in my contacts is to delete the name of the contact then i can answer it via blue tooth
strange one
Do you use custom ring tones for your contacts? IIRC, custom ring tones don't work over HFP.
Does your carkit require you sync your contacts?.. If you have maybe unsync your contacts.. if it is an option and you havnt.. maybe try syncing the contacts I've never heard of this issue before
Thanks for that guys but no go it seems i have to give contacts no name just a pic and bluetooth will answer strange
What car kit do you have?

I finally got sony mw1 for my note ,
my previous headset was samsung hm3200
call sound quality is same, built quality is same
you can see the caller number and name (after loading the apps from market), you can see the call logs and redial
some how you should see the phone book, read sms , voice contol your phone (write mail etc) , but I couldnt figure it how?

This video from clove should help.
I don't think you can see phone book. You should be able to see SMS message, Emails and GMails (however not whole message) after installing Messaging, Gmail and Email application. Also, as far as I can see, you can enable reading for individual applications using Text to speech option of Smart Wireless Headset Pro app.
Please let us now if notifications work properly (seems like email app works only on Sony phones). Also check if you can see songs name when you run stock player and then try some 3rd party players like PowerAmp.
Anyone can make a video not the video from Sony but actual user video

you cant download the email apk from market, I found it from google , load it but it doesnt work..sms app is working , now I can read the incoming sms
I cant see the song names etc. it says "unknown" ( I'm using apollo player -parandroid rom-
I got this headset for daily phone usage , but the stereo earings wire is too long when you attach the clip to your shirt.
I couldnt find any mono earings with short wire so I cut the original one, reattach and now its a mono earing with 20 cm wire

both ; "you can see the caller number and name (after loading the apps from market), you can see the call logs and redial "
New version of Poweramp (2.0.6-build-508) currently available only on web site supports titles for BT devices which probably also means it will show song titles on MW1.
This is great news since PowerAmp is one of the best players out there.
yesterday when I connect to market it said there is an update for limewire manager, so I updated it ,
after that it says there is an update for sony smart headset ,and I updated it also (the headset get the updates from the phone via bluetooth, loads and reboots itself, cool )
but now it sometimes disconnects with the phone
( the bluetooth indicator at the phone turns grey as if there is no connected devices)
Alternative
why not just get the SE MW600. equally as good and superb sound quality. does not display text messages or contact name. it does display the telephone numbers though. use it with my SGN and it is absolutely brilliant.

This is significant upgrade comparing to MW600. Fore example you can also use it as stand alone mp3 player. On top of that functions of this device are extendable. For now you have call log (this is also something you don have on MW600) and that small app that allow you to find your phone, but in the future it can have more useful applications.
Whether it's worth the price is up to you but currently it offers much more than any other bluetooth headset on the market.
the most important function is showing name of the caller. (but I think a developer could make an app for this function for mw600)
- earbud cord must be shorter.(like samsung hm1500)
- screen could be bigger
- needs apps to support device: voice control (call x , open music , navigate to ....) , voice dictation (write sms ; dear xda..) , email reader ( 1 new mail , from... )
- while talking to somebody if an other person calls you , you hear a beep.......beep..... warning but it is so loud, that you cant hear the people talking to you
Booked mine from clove.uk for 7k inr , ahud update u once i get it

I start to think that I'm the only buyer of this product
Is the battery any bigger? I am about to pull the trigger anyways because I love the idea of offloading my music onto a separate microSD.

Hi Folks,
just upgraded from 2.54 to latest 2.99 PA Release .. everything working fine, except i can´t start new calls via my BMW I-Drive. Incoming calls are working fine.
Phonebook transfer to the car works, but when I try to start making a call (click on the name in phonebook or entering a phone number manually), it won´t dial.
Anyone else experiencing this kind of problem ?
thnx
Hi
I don't know if this is maybe a phone issue or an android issue? you have to forgive me as I have finally gone to android from apple after 5 years
I have this really annoying problem now that when my phone pairs with my car on Bluetooth there is no problem with downloading contacts, call history etc except now when I get an incoming call it only displays the number and not the contact name which can be frustrating if it is someone that I don't want to talk too.
All my contacts are mainly UK but I travel abroad a lot so they are stored on google contacts with the international prefix as +44 but when I get an incoming call it shows it as 07**** which is the normal number without the international code and no contact name. I only have this problem with incoming calls in the car on Bluetooth any other time displays name fine.
Any help or ideas would be great .

I think that depends on the car you have. With my car eveything looks fine and shows the contact info. Even with both my mobiles connected (iPhone SE as secondary phone) everything works fine.
