Hi folks
Have seen a few posts on these forums regarding bluetooth GPS and headsets and just wanted a bit of clarification.
Can the XDA IIs coexist with a Bluetooth GPS receiver and a bluetooth headset at the same time?
If not, then are you guys using the speakerphone/headphones for your handsfree while using the bluetooth for gps?
Thanks all
Num

Hi , Can you please help. I have a parrot 3000 car kit and my xda2 works perfect except for the volume. I also have a jabra bt200 works perfect also. But the Problem is that I can only set up one bluetooth Device on the xda2. The problem is I can only use one of these devices as bonded. If I have the headset bonded it works fine. But if I have the car kit bonded also it wont work with either even if the headset is off. I know you cant use two devices at the same time, But it only appears to work with one or the other. I have the headset set up for headset on the xda 2. But if I try to bond with the car kit it asks to set it as a headset also. If I am in the car I need the car kit to operate with the phone, When I get out of the car and switch on the headset I need it to work while I am walking around. I would be most grateful if anyone can help. I hope ihave explained it properly. Thanks
Same pronblem with different peripherals
HI all,
I have the same problem with differents peripherals, I have a Parrot CK 3000 (I'm very happy with this) and a Fortuna GPS and i would like to know if there is a way in order to configure my XDAII in order to be connected to the Parrot and to use the GPS.
Thanks
I have just downloaded this piece of software that allows you to have up to 9 devices working at the same time..... give it a try...

Hi all,
I just got a Qtek 9090 branded by Vodafone. Seems an excellent piece of kit.
I want to use it for GPS in my car. Can I have a recomendation for a GPS BT kit please.
I hear TT3 can be REALLY slow with the 9090 and that is due to be replaced by TT4 soon. Is the Navman 4420 compatible and any good?
Thanks.

I use an XDAII with TTN3, works fine. I would reccomend Globalsat, Leadtek, Fortuna ClipOn or Emtac BT GPS units.
I have a garmin GPS 10 bluetooth unit which has just ben released, I have found that it works well and has the advantage that it comes with PC and pocket PC software so that you have the option of using your phone or your laptop, the europe cover sems good.
I have a Rikaline 6010 X5 mouse. Works great even through my windshield with foil I have up to 8-10 satelites!
I just ordered my Qtek 9090 branded by the german mobile provider ePlus, cant wait for it to arrive. In the meantime I keep looking for things to use my PDA for.
Im all into GPS navigation systems, ever been. BUT if you keep on reading this post you hereby willingly accept the fact me being a -> complete <- newbie on that issue.
So actually my main question at the moment is, what besides a PDA and a SD card and software do I need to start? How do I let the satellites know where I am?

I have the Globalsat BT338 receiver. One of the best and got over 98% in reviews. it is based on the latest sirfstarIII chipset. (Sirf are the leading chipset makers for gps receivers)

tom tom car craddle
Does anybody know if there is a tom tom car craddle somewhere, some kind of holder which combines the GPS antenna and a car holder with loading function.
@factor 5:
I guess you already got your MDA3. DO you figure out a way with the GPS thing. I also have the provider eplus and am waiting for the blue angel to come...
answer would be nice
BT 338
Hi guys new here looking for some help.
I have the ORANGE SPV M2000 and have Tom Tom working fine via serial cable ARKON holder with GPS and speaker.
But I bought a new BT 338 sirf star 111 Bluuetooth and cant connect to my PDA any help in setting this up please.
Best Sat Nav
I have an XDA IIs with a BT-338 bluetooth GPS receiver and Destinator 3. I use an Arkon mount which powers the XDA and can also charge the GPS receiver.
I have used Destinator in Ireland, France, Spain and Florida and find it very good.
Although I was somewhat skeptical before purchasing my XDA IIs (=Qtek 9090) whether it would work with the Bluetooth handsfree kit in my BMW 525d (E60) I managed to get it working! Sofar the only PDA Phone that works with BMW Bleutooth was the Treo 650.
The only difference in use with my Nokia 6310i is that the phonebook does not synchronize withthe car but that is not so bad because you can use the display of the XDA IIs to search your contacts or dial numbers. Dialing numbers through iDrive also works.
I have a Brodit 978612 holder that charges the XDA IIs and the display of the XDA IIs is easy to see. The only drawback is that you do not have an external antenna.
I did install the latest Bluetooth software (v3900) in my XDA IIs before trying it out.
Bluetooth in X5
I have a 2005 BMW X5 but have not managed to make my M2000 connect with the BMW Bluetooth system. Can you tell me the procuedure you used to bond with your car ? I am running version 1.0.0 Build 3500 on my M2000.
Thanks for your help.
Regards.

I would recommend installing the latest Bluetooth software to your M2000, V3900. I don't remember exactly what I did but make sure that in Phone Options you enable the Headset option. Also I have more consistent success in using the BMW BT handsfreekit when I leave Bluetooth on Xda IIs switched off until the BMW is running and then switch BT on.
Anyone using the Parrot Bluetooth GPS Car Kit CK3300??? Just wondering how it performs with a Blue Angel and TomTom?
Thanks in advance of any replys.

Very Good but .......
I always soft reset the pda before I get to the car - seems to guarantee connectivity with no problems!
...Spence
Used it with Eten M500, XDAIIs, XDAII and Motorola MPx220 Smartphone with lots of different GPS software.
Yep, I've just got mine working today. No echo on calls at either end, GPS works fine..... I'm happy
Is this possible? I am trying to decide what gps to get - a wired sucker and cradle type with gps built in and a connection at the bottom of the BA, or a bluetooth one.
I use a bluetooth headset as well when driving you see...
All advice appreciated.

These are what I am looking at buying.
I see you were asking about the Blue Angel, that I can't answer you unfortunately, but I'm using the Magician with BT GPS (Swedish BLUEi device) and the Jabra BT330 headset simultaneously in the car, chatting on the phone while finding my way with Tomtom 5. Works like charm! Since I haven't been using the Blue Angel I don't know if it's using the same BT stack (Microsoft's own)
I use the Brodit active holder and hooked up a little cable-splitter charging the GPS and Magician through the same +5v USB supply. The GPS is on top of the dashboard with the discrete wiring down to the splitter. Had to modify the GPS to make it startup by the ignition, phew...
Anyway, hope this could be of any help though... cheerio

To answer, i'm using Qtek9090 with headset, while bluetooth activesync. And when i'm in my car, i use my bluetooth gps with my headset at the time with no issues.
joebongo...
to answer your question - yes you can use a bluetooth headset simulataneously with a GPS receiver. This works because the connection on both devices is establised on seperate I/O channels hence there is no interference. Globalsat BT338 + tomtom is a worthwhile combo trust me..
hope this helps

No problem here connected to a Fortuna Clip-on BT GPS and a Parrot CK3000 with my Blue Angel. It was recommended to me to get the GPS and phone connected before the starting the car (which starts the car kit).
Thanks for the replies.
After I discovered the same popping on mp3 playback, this BA went back to the O2 shop (second one I have had), my contract cancelled as it was in the trial period, and I am now waiting for the universal (XDA exec, MDA Pro) to come out in a couple of weeks.
See you there.
