Hi,
I hope this is the correct forum.
I have a VW Passat with factory fit bluetooth setup. I am having a problem and can't seem to get the car and phone to see each other.
Would anyone have any advice? I tried a soft reset on the phone and made sure bluetooth was enabled and searching.
Thanks
Hi
I too have a VW Passat, you need to set your handset to use Remote SIM mode, on my HTC3300 this program can be found by going to Start>Programs.
Once you have activated Remote SIM, switch on your Bluetooth and tell the Car to search for the device, once found, pair as normal.
You must set the Car to read your SIM memory only, if you do not the phonebook update will not read your contacts.
My VW factory fit works perfect, the only downside is that you have to save your contacts from your Outlook contacts direst to your SIM card.
Also when using Remote SIM you cannot use the phones GPRS connection, if you use Tom-Tom Traffic than you have to disconnect the phone to update...what a pain.......
If you get stuck, just mail me.
Thanks for the reply.
I can't seem to find the remote sim option. Any idea where it might be on the Orbit?
Thanks!
can anyone tell me if I can update the Bluetooth in my HTC Desire or have more profiles. the phone is branded o2 but can be rooted. I dont want to change anything else in the ROM just make the bluetooth connect automaticaly & reliably to the car.
There are newer software builds available but have no mention of updating bluetooth.
Ther are no OTA updates available.
Software Number is 2.14.207.1
Andriod 2.2
Thanks for any advice in advance.

Can't you just pair the 2 devices together? I personally don't use Bluetooth so no idea on that aspect. Also, the software is so out of date because o2 cba to release and update. There are major updates since yours. It might be worth considering to root so then you can flash a newer ROM, or infact, you don't need to root and just use an RUU. With the newest software. No need to root it then and less chance of it mess up.
Hope this helps
I still have some strangeness with Bluetooth. From what I read there are some updates in Honeycomb and maybe gingerbread. But I don't have a feeling what you are looking for is in FroYo

Well I have a Kenwood Headunit with Bluetooth and the connection to that using stock Froyo and LeeDroid showed some interesting results. Gaps in the phonebook for instance. However, putting a 2.3 ROM (Ginger Villain) sorted that out, its fine now.
Bluetooth depends on the other device too.
What exactly is the problem you are having?
What Car do you have?
What Bluetooth system is installed (is it standard)?
I have used my desire in a number of cars (Vauxhall, Ford, BMW) without any isses with pairing, using the Phonebook,etc. is a different matter.
Personally, I have just received a new BMW 528i, and it doesn't get on well with my Desire at all.
It pairs OK and can use both the phone and music, but when I leave and return to the car, it just refuses to auto-connect again, and I have to go through the pairing procedure again.
Oh, except one - the time I went back to the garage to 'complain' about it and ask for advice, when it worked perfectly. Until I got home again!
Have experimented with my old Nokia N85, and that works fine, too. So it's either the Desire or an incompatibility between it and the car.
Oh, my Desire is running MCR r9 (FroYo) at the moment. Are there known issues with this? Info on any Bluetooth updates I could apply would be gratefully received!
i have to enter my pairing code every time i connect my bt headset - i took this to be a quirk for the moment - hoping its fixed in 2.2.2/2.3.x etc.

Im having this same problem also with a Pioneer Head Unit in my car.
Bluetooth has always been troublesome as it doesn't auto connect. It will connect if I either manually click on "Pioneer Head Unit" or turn Bluetooth off and on (which I automate with tasker).
The pin thing is new and happens with all roms I have tried except LeeDroid, (which I prefer not to use as I don't like sense much). Leedroid still has the auto connect problem.

Some good hints there - thanks!
I can connect far more reliably if I initiate the connection from the phone than from the car.
Likewise, if BT is switched off on the phone and then turned on after the car is on, then it sometimes works, too. Certainly don't need to re-pair anywhere near as often.
Can I ask how you use Tasker to automate the BT switching? I've not used that (I use Setting Profiles instead which I understand does roughly the same thing), so am curious what kind of rule you have that's useful for this.
Cheers.

I use the following rules:
On wifi connection turn off bluetooth
On wifi disconnection wait 30 seconds and turn bluetooth on.
If not wifi connected & not bluetooth connected turn bluetooth off and on every 5 minutes.
If not wifi connected & not bluetooth connected and incoming call turn bluetooth off and on.
If not wifi connected & not bluetooth connected when display switched on turn bluetooth off and on.
The battery drain hasn't been a problem, if I go away or won't be using my car for a while I disable tasker. Of course this doesn't help when it keeps asking for the pin.

Ah, cunning! Of course...toggle it when it's not already connected. Prifile Settings doesn't seem to let me toggle things like BT directly, although I could probably do so by setting some appropriate profiles.
I'll have to experiment...or just buy Tasker, instead!

True, but so far in my case, I've only had that when I've tried to initiate connection from the car. Hopefully your trick will mean I don't need to do that so often.
Anyone found a gingerbread rom (or any rom!) with improved Bluetooth?
I have found the bluetooth to be terrible on the desire. I have got about 3 devices that my phone just refuses to pair with.
Currently I am trying to get it to connect with an Elm 327 Obd scanner. No luck, it asks for a pin, then I enter the pin, but it immediately rejects it.
I have tried oxygen rom, leedroid, stock froyo, everything...
I also have a parrot hands free kit that does the same thing, asks for pin, then does nothing...
Something makes me think it might be the radio or something. Except that my phone DOES connect with my scala motorbike helmet... So frustrating

My galaxy S3 connects to my carkit (RNS510 premium from VW/Audi/Skoda) in rsap / remote sim mode by default. This means i cannot continue the call when I want to get out of the car, which is annoying. If i disconnect the carkit from the phone manually and reconnect via the menu in the galaxy i get the correct protocol (not sure what its called, believe a2dp).
Basically i want to disable rsap/remote sim on my galaxy so they always pair via the correct protocol, like it does with an iphone or windows phone.
Anyone knows how to do this?

On your phone, unpair VW phone. Then change your phone's name (not sure about that part, I did it anyway as I was kind of inventing it as I went). Start the pairing process all over again. When after first connection it asks you on your phone for sim access permission, check never ask again and click cancel. That's it. Peace!
Any advice?
Parrot Mki9100 hands free bluetooth system fitted in car and in good working order.
Have successfully paired new phone (Xperia M) with device.
However, Parrot screen states 'phonebook busy, please wait' continuously.
Have updated Parrot system software without success and factory re-booted this device.
Have tried allowing and denying access to phonebook, headphone etc. on phone but no difference.
Kit is paired with other phones without same problem.
Have emailed Parrot who states that it's a problem with phone.
I can use the phone but unable to use voice recognition system, i have to use manual 'jog' wheel and buttons to navigate through phonebook to get to correct contact.
Also, phone does not automatically connect when i start the car, i have to manually do this via the phone.
Any ideas on any settings or patches i can install on phone?
I am happy that its a problem with this make/model of phone as other are and can be paired easily.
any help much appreciated.
Mike
I occasionally fit these exact kits myself in my line of work (mechanic) and I've had no issues with them as I use my phone to test them out. Have you got auto connect setup on phone? Also the memory of the phone book on these kits is not large same with paired phones so it might not be able to get contacts due to lack of internal memory in the kit. Have you done a hard reset of the kit? Next one I get ill test and pm you my results and any tips I find

I have a Parrot ck3000 and it does pair well with my M ss routed. The problem is that in a call (either outgoing or incoming) the communication is not stable: after a few minutes the bluetooth communication drops.
I've also used a number of apps such as MonoBluetooth, BTHeadSet, BTmono etc. without any result. Wifi, HFC and Stamina mode are not the cause. I'm about to give up !!!
Hello Everyone,
I have a Note 3 Neo 7500Q ( Turkey Version). I am overall satisfied with the phone, but when I try to connect to my multimedia car kit via bluetooth, I have problems. It pairs up with the kit, but neither my nor the other parts voice is transmitted. I tried to every way without luck. Does anyon else has or had the same problem? Is there a way to overcome this issue? All kinds of help is appriciated.
I use the BT car kit all the time, with no issues whatsoever. My unit is a Parrot MK9200 or something. It is 4 years old, can't remember the exact model number. Phone calls, music streaming etc. works fine.
Here are a few suggestions you might try:
1) When I had the Parrot initially, 4/10 the phone was failing to connect over the Bluetooth. I upgraded the Firmware of the Parrot. Ever since, no connection issues. Check whether your Bluetooth unit has a FW update!
2) When the phone pairs with the car the first time, it asks for permisson to access the Phone book, logs etc. Mark "Always yes". That might be your problem.
