Hey everyone,
I just bought a new head unit for my car; Alpine iDA-x305, and my old one, Kenwood KDC-BT838u, kinda sucked with my Touch HD. The calls were not clear, it would always disconnect after calls, and navigating through mp3s was very difficult (not a Touch HD issue, but nonetheless.)
Anyone have a head unit they like and works well with their Touch HD?
P.S.
I will post an update about my Touch HD and the Alpine iDA-x305, when I get it installed next week.
I have the Pioneer Navgate F900BT navunit.
And it works great..... no annoying things at all. A true multimediaplayer.
I have the same Pioneer 900BT... I wish it would read the sms messages that the manual states. Sucks

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
Guys,
I'm currently trying to find a decent 'Desktop Speaker System with Remote Controller' to use with my HTC Touch HD Blackstone.
Have any of you come across a suitable system I could use.
My preference is the UK market as that is where I would be purchasing from.
Thanks in advance.

A2DP speakers
Hi Beards,
erm I'm not sure, but do you mean some speakers that are similar to an Iphone/Ipod dock? Just some speakers that will play the music off your HD? I could be way off but if this is the case then I think me and you both are after the same thing. I can't find any systems that act as a HTC dock and speakers but after a lot of research I think I found a solution. That solution is to use A2DP bluetooth speakers. That way your HD itself acts as the remote (as you can walk around with your phone within a 10m radius of the speakers and change the volume/track off there, although some come with remote too). In this respect I think it is a lot better than an Ipod dock. I was considering getting some A2DP speakers that sit on the shelf in my bedroom, then simply getting a docking cradle to the HD to sit next to my bed - that way I can play music and charge my mobile at the same time.
If it is what you are after (btw these A2DP speakers can also play music from your PC) then there is a list of currently available models here:
http://www.a2dp.info/A2DP-Devices/A2DP-Speakers.html
I am currently thinking of getting the Parrot boombox, the gear4 blackbox or the AE system. I will post results if and when I get one.
I hope this is what you meant and hope it helps.

EXACTLY what I am looking for...... Well done.
I'm a bit tied up at the moment doing another awful lot of surgical operations.
If you go ahead can you keep me abreast of how things are developing (any other ideas, pricing, etc.).
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.
New headphones for Touch HD 2 with music control - Anyone know if these headphones will work on the Touch HD?
See http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=9367
Alternative
The griffin smart talk headset and mic for the apple iphone looks like a reasonable alternative
See

Not sure if the music controls will work but the call button and mic should be ok at least.
My only concern would be the affect on the fm radio as this wont have an integrated antennae.
wen i bought my htc hd.... it came with the same headset with the media control.... i am in the uk...
re same headset
Just to clarify - are you saying you bought an HTC Touch HD which came with the HTC Touch HD 2 headset (complete with media controls) and it works ok with it?
If you could confirm this that would be great as I would like to buy this headset for my HTC Touch HD.
can anyone confirm that the headphones with the remote work with the blackstone?
thanks
I got my wife a HD2 yesterday so tried the headphones with NRG's ROM and the remote did not work other than for answering, hanging up and redialling calls.
Maybe does it work with ROMs based on HD2 oems? I think it should. Can someone confirm that?
don't bother, i got the hd2 and the stupid headset cannot even control the volume. Only possible to play, previous and next and answer call........

I thought that the ground lead acted as antenna. This because the plug is "only" 4 lead. gnd - left - right- mic.
1) i have "HTC Touch HD" and "RC E160" - work only microphone.
2) i change ROM - Gooru M4.0 - (based HTC HD2) - work only microphone.
"RC E160" (full functionality) for: "HTC Hero" (Android) and "HTC Tattoo" (Android)
may be helps people, who made ROM for WM
I've installed a WM6.5-ROM based on Touch HD2, but MusicControls won't work...
Maybe its just an Driver-Problem?!
Hi, i've found these from amazon, Jbuds J3M, do you guys think it will work on the touch HD
I can confirm that music controls of RC E160 doesn't work in touch HD...
also the quality of audio is really worse than the original of htc HD... maybe it is becuase of the crisis....

Hi,
I just bought my Plantronics Voyager Pro UC to use it with my HTC Legend...
I am facing a problem listening to music or watching a youtube video using it!!!
the phone got super slow and headset BT got disconnected.
even when the phone is in standby and in my pocket the headset got disconnected as well.
I have tested this BT headset with an IPhone 3Gs of a friend and it is working perfectly: answering calls in while the phone is in the pocket, listing to music or watching a podcast...
really I started to hate my HTC Legend.
is this problem related to the HTC Legend BT antenna or my device is faulty ?
my warranty will end on 24th this month.
please help
I didn't know that my problem was that strange, 43 views without any reply LOL
It's a really specific device! ^_^
But in my experiences, it doesn't hurt to inquire about a possible error on your phone. Besides, your warranty's almost up. Screw HTC Support (it's complete ****), I'd go straight to the warranty.
With that said, it might just not be compatible, but it never hurts to try, even when you have a freebie.
