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
I use my wizard in the car, and have an adapter (ebay,£3) that goes from the headset out to a microphone and has a 3.5 socket - this then plugs into the mp3 input on my car stereo to give me a full hands-free solution - works great, but I have to unplug the headset connector to use TomTom, otherwise I can't use my stereo while I'm driving!
Anyhow, I've seen a car mount with built in charger and speaker on ebay and at http://www.pdamods.co.uk/products.asp?cat=125 - I was wondering if anyone else had got one and what they thought of it.
My main question is whether it has a built in microphone so that you can use the phone when its in the mount, or does it render the phone useless while it's in there?
** BTW, if anyone want's an easy to install copy of TT6, mail me!
No, that mount does not have a built in microphone. But it works well in combination with a BT handsfree.
That looks a lot like the i.Trek mount offered by Semsons. That mount has a microphone mounted in-line on the cable connecting the Wizard speaker to the mount's powered speaker. It's not shown in the photo but it's on the right side of the mount.
Now if they only made one that powers it and connects an external antenna in one step!
I really wonder if engineers who design stuff like this never get out or get to play with equipment they develop?
I have had a Nokia 6340i for many years and had the handsfree cradle in my vehicles and they were absolutely the best thing since sliced bread! Now however, the newer Nokia's aren't compatible with that kit, so I couldn't upgrade the phone. I was forced to finally buy a new phone and got a Cingular 8125, but now I see there's no powered cradle with antenna connection!
It's really a shame they don't think designs through to the end users needs! I also bought the Pioneer DEH-9800BT stereo, but it doesn't look like it's going to be worth it since I have to tell it to connect evertime I get in the vehicle, which means I have to remove it from my belt case and dork with it to get it connected. The radio also has a limit of 350 contacts for the primary user and I have in excess of 600 and growing so I guess it's going back.
Any other choices anyone can suggest for a Cingular subscriber? I really just want a hands free method for using the phone in the vehicle without having to meddle with the phone or the HF device and also be able to pick up external antenna connection like the Nokia car kit provided for many years of reliable service!
Thanks for any help!

anyone know where I can get this in Canada?

Thanks!
Hi! I came across the following car kit on ebay;
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=130053711622&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=003
Does anyone have any experience with it? I'm very interested to know if it has an integrated microphone (not very important).
Mostly, i'm asking if it has any audio out(from the pictures, it seems like there is one), so that i can connect it to my handsfree, or even better to my car stereo and to an external microphone (maybe by hacking my present handsfree)
Thanks in advance!!!
I have that one and i got it a lot cheaper than that at
http://www.pdamods.com/products.asp?cat=125
it does have a speaker that is great for TOMTOM or similiar programs very load with it in would not recomend as a hands free kit as echo feeds back
I've been looking for this for a while now in Canada or US...

I think they are not the same!!! The one you show, comes with 3 options for mounting(in conrast to 1 option for the one i linked), and it seems similar to the one found in many ebay stores(and web stores), advertised as TOMTOM mount!
Anyway, microphone is not a problem form me, since i'm planning to mod it and connect an external microphone andalso my car stereo for audio output. This way, i'll have a car handsfree kit, and play music through my Wizard!
Will the 8125 fit in this? The site doesn't specifically say that it will, so I'd rather ask before I buy. If anyone can answer that I'd really appreciate it.
I bought one, and it's a great mount. The speakers broke on mine though.
I bought it also, and i'm planning to mod it. I'll replace the fitted 2.5 mm jack(2 rings-3 contacts) with one taken off my handsfree (2.5mm 3 rings-4 contacts). Then, I'll have outputs for microphone (propably also for volume control & answer button) and for audio to connect a powered FM Transmitter!
Does this sound good! I'll start in some days, and i'll try to post images of the process

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 all,
As my car doesn't have a CD player (don't laugh) but has a tape drive I bought a sony cassette adapter with a 3.5 mm out put jack in order to use my HTC touch HD to play music through the car's speaker system. This works very well indeed. An added bonus was that when driving along and someone rang me, the music stopped and the phone rang, I andwered it and was surprised to hear the caller very clearly through the car's speaker sysytem. Here's the problem though the caller could bearly hear me at the other end and commented that it sounded like I was underwater. Now I have thought about how I might resolve this by adding the supplied HTC headset into the equation, purely from the microphone point of view and not putting in the ear piece if that makes sense. The obvious barrier here is that there is only one 3.5mm output on the HTC and wondered that if I bought an adapter that effectively allowed two 3.5mm inputs to share the single output on the HTC I might resolve the issue.
Any advice would be welcome.
