OK, after a week of surfing the forum, I'm stuck. I'm looking for a stable ROM for the Hermes that will work with the Parrot CK3100 car kit.
Ideally something with a reasonable set of apps, stylish rather than funky, and reasonable performance.
If anyone is working with a CK3100 car kit I'd be interested to know what ROM you run....
we will keep it on mind
but you may search on devs and hacks maybe some people has te answer why the carkits dont works correctly.

I have been looking through the forum to determine the best combination of receiver + software as a gps solution. Is there a poll outlining the relative merits / demerits for the xda2s?
From reading threads, i feel alot of people use TT5 with a BT338 receiver. Would this be a reasonable solution?
Kind regards
I have BT-338. It work just fine with my tek 9090.
I use the BT-338 with CoPilot Live 5 and it works great on my SX66.
CoPilot Live 6 is too buggy, IMO.
I have not tried Tom Tom 5. But I could not install iGuidance 2.1.2 (I gave up after 3 attempts), TeleType World Navigator has huge breadth but not much depth in its features, and OnCourse Navigator 5 has user interface design problems, poor rerouting (it gets stuck on one path), and it requires manually starting the bluetooth connection each time.
Note: These recommendations might only apply in the USA.
tt5 & bt 77
Hi, my xda2s worked fine with TT5 and a BT77 bluetooth GPS, although the device configuration arrangement was a bit strange. However, that was on wm2003. I can't get any GSM functionality on wm2005 so can't comment on satnav and gps combinations with wm2005.
You will need to check with Tom Tom what support there is currently for Ireland. On the release of TTN5 there was limited support for the North & NO support for Eire. The latest downloadable maps suggest "major roads" of Eire are now supported but these maps are an additional purchase over & above TTN5.
I think i am the only BA user here with one, but i like my SD-501 (SDIO) GPS. its a great little unit, and gets great reception (not to mention better battery life compared to constant BT use!).
Still deciding on software though..
Just to resurrect this thread from back in the day, has anyone seen THIS??
Im wanting a wireless bluetooth A2DSP thing with the AVRCP buttons on it. Also I want to be able to use my own earphones and this looks the ticket!
Has anyone used this or something similar on the Hermes yet?? And if so does the A2DP fix work?!?!
I've tried a number of headsets on the Hermes, including the 320s.
In terms of connection and stability the HTC is by a far distance the most stable. The 320s did not have a good connection when I tried it.
Unfortunatly all headsets had lots of hissing when used with WM6. I did not try all of them with WM5, but the results seems to be much better.
Some people have good results using reg. hacks or the Widcomm stack. For me that doesn't work.
The AVRCP buttons worked fine on all headsets I've tried (with the media player. Not all players support AVRCP).
All in all the quality of all headsets is much worse than the supplied wired headset. Still the headset makes sense to me, but not for high quality listening.

Gutted!!
Im thinking is there a way i can test A2DP using my PC as the headset?! Il get back to you if i find a solution.
mrvanx: I am currently using my Jabra BT620s (http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/9783.htm) with all AVRCP functions working properly on my Orange SPV M3100 loaded with Black's latest WM6 ROM.
Jabra BT8010 has a great sound and is very flexible...
I would recommend it
BT 320 has software upgrade from Jabra website. Also, it has a very good function - to collect other music player using a wire at the same time collect to your phone using BT. This can perfect solve the music sound quality problem about your PDA.

You mean the BT230 can be connected to a different MP3 player using a cable too? (rather than Bluetooth)
Yes, the model number is BT 325s, check this out. But I cannot find any in HK
Mrvanx
I got a BT320s for my super.fi 5 Pro. The sound is excellent.
Volume adjustment is good
I got the latest FW from the Jabra Singapore site (no way to know what version is on the device and what version is on the upgrade)...
The US site shows it as coming soon???
When getting a call while listening thru A2DP you can take the call but then the phone hangs and need to be reset.
The BT8010 works better from this stand point (not much but at least no need to reset the XDA)
One of the main issue with BT320s is that it switch on by itself easily through a slight push on the central button... and the call management...
This may be due to my WM6 ROM (4/23 from LVSW)...
Is anyone using a Bluetooth GPS with their 8525? I'm looking to purchase one but would like some input first. So many choices out there... Thx!
welcome to the forums..
i do.. im using a BT-Q818.. its superb. does the job well plus its supposed to run 32 hours, and can pick up 32 satellite signals..
one good thing to think of before getting a gps receiver would be battery replacement possibilities..
good place to look for gps receivers and software
Garmin GPS10 here. Fully waterproof, WAAS capable, magnetic attachment to car. Stores multiple parings. Runs around 12 hours on a charge. $80ish for OEM package (sensor only). This thing is awsome. I was getting differential fixes to within 1 meter while hiking up in N. MI last week. I was running also maptech's pocket navigator on my TyTN with the sensor duct-taped to my backpack. Laptop was in the truck with Terrain Navigator counterpart stored there. Both devices could share the sensor & also swap track data.
I'm using a GlobalSat BT-359 bluetooth gps receiver and iGuidance map software on my 8525. I've had no trouble with any of it. Got everything from Semsons Inc website as a bundle.

you dont have any troubles with your iG4? their's this stuttering issue that i have been experiencing.. what interests me is the ROM you are using.. i will prolly change to what you have as soon as i get too many porblems with the current one that i am using..
Bapski--- I'm still using iGuidance 3. My version 4 should be arriving soon. I'm anxious to see how it runs on VP3G's 3.0 ROM. Everything else I use runs very well on it. I'm still a noob at all this but if you have questions, I'll sure try to be of some help.
Anyone out there who has experience with the Hero and a Nokia carkit?
I have a nice 'voucher' lying around for a complete build-in of a Nokia carkit, the CK-100 (with Brodit active holder and such, nice stuff for the car!).
Does anyone have experience with the CK-100 in combination with a Hero? And if so, what is the call quality like. And does the A2DP work correctly?
I've read before on another site that people said the CK-7W paired and worked correctly. But if someone has experience with the CK-7W, please tell me (us) here as well!
Would be a shame to get that carkit in my car and being unable to use it .
Hello,
i've just created a new topic about some equivalent questions/problems. Sorry for that.
I am not able to pair my Hero with the CK-7W. I don't know why but the handsfree set doesn't occur in the list of available devices at all. So no chance to pair for me...
The Procedure: Activate bluetooth on the Hero an search for devices --> switch on the board voltage and set the handsfree set into pairing mode --> usually the Hero should find the handsfree set but it doesn't
With the HTC TyTN II aka Kaiser i had before it worked fine.
Hi all,
Just wanna know if anyone knows of (or has used) a very good bluetooth car radio/kit thats compatible with HD2?? I recently read about the Parrot RKi8400 and it looks great! Are there any other kits worth buying that anyone has experienced???
Cheers,
YaZ!
Forgot to mention that the "kit" has to playback music SMOOTHLY via bluetooth!
I've heard a lot about there being NO PROBLEMS with the basic call features, however, its the smooth playback of music that I'm more interested in.
Cheers!
