Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone has come across any tweaks/suggestions for issues with audio on bluetooth car kits. I have a Pioneer DEH-P7050BT (aka P700BT in EU) and had lots of issues with the audio quality on the PHONE section of the stereo.
When making a call, the audio I hear is fine, however people on the other end of the phone hear constant interruptions of noise and other nasties. I have not been able to replicate the issue using either a Nokia E65 or some kind of Samsung phone. This means the issue lies with the Hermes...
Has anyone come across or solved these issues in the past?
I get the same issues with my sony car kit. Sometimes it's terrible echo, sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's metalic - electronic voice people hear on the other end.
If the hermes wasn't such a useful tool for other reasons, I would have thrown this phone against a wall some time ago. I don't know if it is the bluetooth or the phone. It would be great to finally get a fix.
cheers,
I ended up finding a fix for this.... I've taken the Pioneer DEH-P7050BT back to the store and get a full refund. This refund got spent on a MUCH cheaper and better Kenwood KDC-BT7539U.
This unit works perfectly with the HTC TyTN, and no issues at all......
If you're in the lookout for a car stereo + bluetooth handsfree, then the KDC-BT7539U is where it's at.
KDC-BT7539U not found on eb y, Ill keep a look out for one. I want Bluetooth in my vehicle in 09. Thanks 4 the headsup.
PS your roms rocking my new htc hermes
Hi guys,
i am thinking of buying a new bluetooth headset for my touch hd. I also got a ps3 and was wondering if i buy the official ps3 bluetooth headset will it work with the HD. Any Help in that issue will be greatly appreciated.
Yes, I bought one for my PS3 and whilst never had the need for bluetooth headset for the HD, gave it a go and it works fine. So now use it on the odd occassion, but otherwise it stays docked next to PS3.
Can't give a particular reason since i'm not an experienced headset user, but if primary use was for phone over PS3, perhaps not the best choice.
Hello,
I'm looking for a compatible with our x10 mini bluetooth car kit. Not the ones connected to radio through cables. The stand alone one's. Has anybody any sugestions?
I've had my phone connected to a garmin gps device with no problems and also connected to dads headunit (Kenwood KDC-BT30) in his car which is bluetooth enabled.
The head unit solution is really nice, no extra wires. bluetooth is built into the radio
I had a Sony stereo fitted and had my HTC Desire paired over Bluetooth for calls and music streaming. In fact any audio stream worked around the truck - great for festivals!
Now I have my HOX+ (and my girlfriends HOX) we cannot pair our phones with the stereo. I noticed, when I pair my phone with other devices, the process for pairing is somewhat different to that of the HTC Desire. Example, when I pair up, the HOX says "enter this code on the other device". Usually, we pick a code.
In any case, neither phone can see the Sony car stereo when we scan.. We just get "no devices found".
Hoping someone has some advice for me, because I'm missing my music. Using an audio cable is clunky
Thanks,
I have a Sony car stereo fitted and my X+ connects. On mine I have to switch off the blue tooth on the stereo and turn it back on but hold the BT button in for 5 seconds for it to start searching for devices, at same time instruct phone to also search and they should find each other. Hope this is of some help.
Hi, I did this but couldn't get it working. I used to update the ROM on my Desire quite often so I usually needed to re-sync the phone and head unit.
I'll try this again but it wasnt working when we did it the other week..
What head unit do you have? I wonder if mine needs a software update... it's about 2 years old now.
Thanks for your reply
Mine is a Sony MEX-BT5700U which I purchased in 2009, also worked on my Desire hd, One X as well as my One X+. Can't think of anything more to add that might be of help, pairs up as soon as engine starts.
Thanks for the tip. I'm out in it tonight so will try again.
HTC bluetooth drivers?
Could this be because of the HTC bluetooth drivers? I realize I'm just guessing, but everything bluetooth became alot easer when I changed to CM 10.1 on my HOX+

Could it be a visibility issue?
You have to make the BT visible/discover-able before anything else. For the Sony to pick it up. I think the minimum is like 60 or 100 seconds
Once you do that, make the RADIO pair with the HOX+ rather than the HOX+ with the radio. This way the Radio will tell you the pin code to enter (it's usually 1234 anyway), which you then enter on your HOX+, instead of the HOX+ telling you what to enter into the radio for code (as you would previously do, i guess, though i don't see how).
Once connected, don't forget to then see the "sony radio bt" properties, to enable "always allow" feature, so it won't ask you for permission every time your radio tries to access your phone's playlist, call list, or to act as a headset for incoming calls (if you have a microphone built into the car)
Okay, so last night I went to the car and held the Bluetooth button in for what seemed like forever. I noticed the LED on the stereo display begin to pulsate. I kept searching with the phone and eventually the phone found the stereo and it's now paired up.
I happily listened to Macklemore to the destination.
Thanks all for the help in this post
Hello,im experiencing bluetooth pairing problems on my moms Nokia 1. Ive tried numerous times now to pair her phone with my Sony Xperia Z5 with no success. The phones discover each other and send the pin to pair like they meant to,but when you say accept nothing happens, Is anyone else having a similair problem and how do i fix it? Thanks
