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

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

Bump up - anyone able to help me with this?

hi numanoids
i have a imate pda2k and it works fine with tomtom bluetooth gps and sony hb35
Thanks freelock
Expansys had previously advised me that it wasnt possible, but thanks for clearing it up for me!!
Have a good un and all that.
My Navman 4410 GPS Receiver and Jabra BT250 work happily together too...
I have a Siemens X66 and I'm using it with a Socket GPS receiver and a Bluetooth UConnect installed device in my car.
Works great together
EVERYTHING WORKS OK
I AM FROM GREECE I HAVE QTEK 9090 AND I HAVE A GPS RECEIVER (RIKALINE),WITH HBH-65 HANDS-FREE, BOTH OF THEM WORKS OK.
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...

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.
Has anyone found a bluetooth car kit for the XDA IIs that has half way decent sound quality? I'm on my second PARROTT kit and the quality is not good!
Looking for some recommendations or others user experiences with XDA IIs kits.
I havea similar issue...just got a QTEK 9090 in the form of a Vodafone1620....tried it with my existing Nokia BT HF Kit. Works great for me but callers are complaining about a very bad echo.
Bad Echo with Hands Free Kit
I have the same problem. I am on my second Blue Angel. One was a Qtek 9090 and I now have an XDA IIs. Both have a very bad echo when using it with a Nokia CK-7W bluetooth car kit, so much so that I now use a Bluetooth earpiece in the car.
I assume it is the Blue Angel that has the problem and not the car kit because my Nokia 6060 had no problem.
Car Kit
I use the Sony Ericson BT car kit and the sound quality is very good - no echos'a at all.
BT carkit for Blue Angel
So is the Sony Ericsson the best for sound recevied both by the caller and the receiver? anyone else tried this? I dont want to start a collection of bluetooth carkits if I can help it :lol:
Was this a professional install? Any particular Sony BT model?
Many thanks
BT car Kit
I'm using the Sony Ericson HCB-300 car kit.
I installed it myself.
It gets a bit of noise from the car at high speed :twisted: , but that's my car - not the car kit.
If I can throw in my uninformed two penn'rth: I own a Nissan which has bluetooth hands free through the radio/CD player. It pairs with my XDA2 but doesn't make or receive calls through it. It pairs with my old Sony Erricson 68i and works perfectly, with excellent sound at both ends of the call. If you are getting an echo, it is very likely that the hands free is not disconnecting the mic on the phone, so you are then getting feedback. A simple test would be to obscure the mic on the phone and try again. Won't solve the problem, but will at least show what's causing it.

Hi all
Has anyone come across a fixed car kit for the Hermes/TyTN? I
have got a brodit kit & charger and currently using it via BT with the Audi MMI, but as with most BT kits it varies between acceptable and awful (both in terms of signal strength and call quality).
When I put the SIM into the old nokia phone and plug it into the cradle in the armrest, the signal and call quility improves significantly - hence the request. Therefore, is there such a thing as a fixed Hermes kit? Alternatively, is there any way of improving the signal with a BT kit - and is the call quality any good??
TIA
You could go for a THBBury (UNI System 8) kit with the TyTN cradle for it.
I am just about to install this setup in my car over the next week so I will let you know how I get on.

I have a Brodit cradle too. The Audi MMI works fine now with the TyTN, took some time as I had to update both the TyTN's ROM and the MMI to the latest versions. Now the MMI can read the TyTN's contacts and Missed/Received calls lists.
However, I don't thing the MMI is quite compatible with the TyTN's SAP profile. This is the reason why you're getting better results with the Nokia. The Nokia's SAP is Audi's reference profile (as most phones these days are Nokias). The Audi Bluetooth module is actually a full phone, which takes over your SIM card in the Nokia (via the SAP profile). The MMI has it's own antenna and no voice data actually flows over the Bluetooth connection. This is only used to access the SIM card.
With the TyTN, this is a different story - all data goes over Bluetooth (including voice) and the signal is also that of the TyTN - the external antenna of the Audi is not used at all in this case .
I'll keep trying with new ROM updates and see if I get more luck.

Hi Paul_o,
I have the THB carkit. However it is not hardwired, but bluetooth.
Sometimes my Tytn switches of bluetooth by it self.
I have upgrade to vp3G's WM6 ROM with radio 1.48. Bluetooth problems are less frequent as before with original WM5 dutch.

@ djwillis:
Any news on the kit?
@ajax007:
Appreciate the info re:Audi MMI, but as the company car is going back in 3 weeks I reckon the Bury kit is the way forward in the new car...
Anyone look at the 20SM from Garmin? Pricey but cool looking. Might have to get one for Xmas

Erm, exactly why would Hermes users want this??
Don't know if I'm hijacking the thread but I'm also looking in getting a handfree BT kit for the car. I don't need my 8525 to be cradled in, just have it connect automatically like in my wife's Lexus. Of course I can always buy a new car with BT but I was hoping to spend a little less than that...

Erm.. sorry, the ebay auction was clearly geared towards the bundle software for blackberry. The 20SM is universal.
Has bluetooth GPS built into the base, and can also charge the handheld. Includes Bluetooth Handsfree operation as well
