I have Just Purchased and Installed the Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth Hands Free Car Kit. :- Here is the Outcome
1. Installed Very Easily Within The Hour
2. Discoverd the Hands Free Profile and Paired First Time
3. Phone Connects and Disconnect Automatically
4. Sound is Piped through the Cars Audio Speakers and mutes the radio
5. Display Shows Phone Name ie Pocket PC and Network OK but no signal or battery strength Display.
6. Voice Recognition Through The Parrot is Very Good
7. When Call Comes in the Ringing is Played Through The Car Speakers and If Voice Tag been Recored Name is Played Too.
8. regognised +44 or normal numbers
9. More than 1 number per contact.
10. there is no auto contact sync, but a Bluetooth Contact Push worked first time.
11. Caller Name On Display if in phonebook, otherwise number when receiving a call
I am very supprised at the functions this kit has, i read very carefully through this forum and notice no one really did a review of this kit. the firmware on my version is the latest v4.11 and the only problem i have was i wired the ignition and perm live the wrong way round. this was easy to correct as they were both fused Holdered and just swapped the fuse cap over.
you will know if you have wired them correct by the following, if the display just turnes off when turning the ignition off , they are they wrong way round and any setting you changed will not be saved,
if the display say Disconnecting, then goodbye then the wiring is correct,
It uses standar ISO connectors and you may need a adaptor depending on you radio and vechile make.
all in all i very happy with this and only cost £84.00 with postage from
www.justcarkits.co.uk
I see they also do a CK3300, which has intergrated Satellite Navigation
I'm going to order one today
I bought a CK3100 as I already have a BT GPS and am happy with the telephone part for my XDA IIs but for the life of me I cannot get TomTom directions to go through my car speakers.
I have tried WM2k3se/WM5 and I still cannot do it.
If anyone has found a way can they let me know?

i was also interested in that point. i thought it would be very useful hearing voice instructions on the car speakers. but for now, i prefer not to use that feature beacause may have a lot of interruptions when you're driving in a city or there is a lot of change of directions (or something making tomtom speak).
HaganRE - How on earth did you get ur contacts onto it. THe only way I can get it to go is by an BT Beam Contact but I have nearly 400 contacts.
I have to say that the Parrot CS is even worse than O2. They tell me that it will auto-synchronise and that I must have my PDA set up wrong. Numpty's.
So - no tomtom through stereo and no auto-sync makes me think the Sony or god forbid a Nokia might be better.

Its not a great solution but you can take an output from the headphone socket and feed this into the aux in on your car stereo.
I did this to listen to mp3's via media player and found out tomtom5 nav instructions come through as well.
Parott CK3100 Contacts and TomTom
Unfortunatly you cannot get tomtom Audio over the bluetooth connection.
and you cannot autosync with it either for contacts, if you open your address book, and select all your contacts you can beam them over bluetooth, i have 120 and took about 5mins, or just do them 1 at a time
I have the Parrot 3000 evolution and the sounds quality for people I call is terrible - is the sound quality with the 3100 better on the XDA IIs? has anyone had issues with sound quality with BT carkits?
Thanks
you want to talk about Parrot????
Parrot but real one!!!!
i was eating few days ago in my friend flat, with a Parrot on my shoulder!!!!
and then he eat from my dish!!!! what an impolite behavior!!!!

I'm running DL09 Super Clean 0.4/EB01 2.4 on a Fascinate. Kernel is EB01-based Voodoo.
I took the plunge and got a Motorola Roadster bluetooth car kit, preferring a car kit to an earpiece. With my Froyo based Fascinate, I was eagerly anticipating voice dial, etc. No such luck.
Car kit pairs and requests phone book access. Grant privilege (always). Great!
But... Car kit does not announce caller name, even though it is a contact in the phone. Seems like although the rights are granted for PBA, the request for an phone book entry by the car kit fails.
Also, no bluetooth voice dial
Pressing the command button on the car kit returns and annoying "not supported by phone" message.
Is the BT stack still under development, or do I need to configure something? (seems unlikely).
Thank you in anticipation.
I don't know anything about phone book access, but to use voice dialing on Super Clean, you need to flash the Nuance zip in that thread. Nuance is the stock app that handles bluetooth voice dialing.
Thank you for the tip. Installed Nuance. Useless. My accent is South African / Oz / USA. Voice commands deliver some interesting response. Even after adaptation, recognition (in a quite environment) is no better than 10%. Too bad.
And just a heads up...post questions in the General section
I pulled out my bt headset the other day and was disappointed to discover the same thing. I agree that Nuance is trash (and is why my bt has been in storage for a while). I haven't done so yet, but have you tried Vlingo?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Installed Vlingo and have been using it for a few days. Recognition is great, but does not cut media sound when waiting for command and does not handle car noise well. Maybe my car more noisy than average... I'm going to keep it and watch for updates.
In my opinion there is most definitely an issue with the Bluetooth stack in EB01. I just had a head unit installed in my car that is capable of streaming music and phone calls. Whenever I make or receive a call through the unit, it force closes upon hanging up, with both devices indicating they still have a connection (and they definitely do not). I have to power down the stereo and turn bluetooth off and back on the phone.
It is extremely aggravating. I feel like this phone has been one huge repeat of "one step forward, two steps back".
I love Froyo except this bluetooth issue is a major disappointment. That, and I've tried everything posted and still have lousy battery compared to DL09. But that's another thread.
Anyone know if this is any better in ED01? Im running SC2.9.2 and see no reason to go back to stock or even an ED01 ROM -- unless the BT voice dial is working...
I used Grove IP and download it on the marketplace and used my google voice account to log in. Now you can make and received call from your flyer as long as you have a wifi connection.

can you then pair a bluetooth headset?

Yes that did work. Now is there a way to receive calls from a cellphone calling you from Grove IP?
I use my Skype account and it also works well.
I know there are ROMs that enable the Bluetooth functionality, but is there a flashable zip to do the same thing for those of us who'd rather stay with the stock ROM?
Be sure to change your settings in Google voice. Don't have it forward to any number have it forward to Google talk or email that way if anyone calls your Google voice number it rungs your tablet with grooveip. Wired headsets are confirmed working. I used the standard htc headset with the inline mic that came with every android htc phone I purchased and the work perfectly for you hearing the caller and the caller hearing you.
Thankyou I was having trouble getting it to receive calls.

No, you have to root, but you can keep the stock ROM , just rooted. Just to be clear bluetooth works on totally stock, but not bluetooth headset. There is a small mod to one text file you do once rooted that enables headset profile for bluetooth
Just want to know if it uses the sim or google server to call?

There is actually a very active forum thread with the developers of GrooveIP here.

I'm hoping someone here has some *real* ideas or answers regarding this issue.
I have a handsfree Bluetooth kit in my car so that I can safely place calls while driving. This worked flawlessly with my previous Windows Mobile phones (Tilt/Tilt II). With the phone tucked in my pocket and the mobile OS “locked” I could press the voice activation button on the dashboard and easily call someone. Not so with my shiny new AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II. Now I have to dig the phone out and unlock the device before I can use my handsfree system… are we back in the smartphone dark ages?? I might as well take up texting and driving while I’m at it and forget the handsfree unit altogether.
Apparently Google in their infinite wisdom has decided already paired Bluetooth devices pose a security risk. As such, when Android is “locked” it disables any control from Bluetooth. I suppose if you work for the government or some place that you need Pentagon like security this makes sense. For the 95% of us that don’t need these draconian measures this is just plain stupid and potentially unsafe.
I've already rooted my phone. I've tried other ROMs like the latest builds of UnNamed, ICS'd Out, and CyanogenMod. None of these allow Bluetooth operation while the phone is locked (and in fact all of them introduced other issues). I've searched the forums but most similar posts go unanswered or contain nonconstructive replies (flames, unrealistic answers, etc).
I can't and won't disable ALL security. I won't give up making phone calls while driving - I'm on the road a decent amount and need to use that time productively. What are my other choices? Go buy an iPhone or a Windows Mobile unit which work "right"?? Seems like a crazy oversight by Google/Samsung/AT&T if those are my only options!
I would suggest using the official samsung Car dock, as the USB port on there has a special impedance that tells the phone to go into driving mode, which once you unlock the phone, it stays unlocked until you either lock it, or take it off the dock. It also charges your phone at the same time. However if you have a case, this will not work for you. You would need to solder up your own usb plug that has a certain impedance over some pins (theres a thread somewhere about that, its like a jig, but with different impedance) and just plug that in when you're driving, but you still have to unlock the phone at least once with it plugged in.
My clarion cz500 car stereo has no issues making or receiving calls via Bluetooth while my phone is locked.

My biggest gripe with Android is that BT calling does not work as well as it did with WinMo's Voice Command (which works really well considering how poorly much of WinMo worked). Initiating calls via BT is my main gripe with Android. I wish Google would get it right already. That said, I have no problems answering calls via BT even when the phone is locked.
My phone is paired with the built-in BT in my car and I have no issue with making/taking calls while the phone is locked. Maybe its a compatibility issue with your particular hands-free device?
I also have no BT problem when locked, using the standard BT in my Toyota Avalon, 2011. Running rooted, UnNamed ROM, Entropy's DD 120811 kernel.
For those of you who think BT calling works just fine, I have to ask, have you ever used a WinMo phone with Voice Command? If not, then you don't know how well it's supposed to work. With VC, I could touch the call button on my BT headset or BT car stereo at ANY time, get a little chime and then say the name of the person I wanted to call and have it dial automatically. I never had to touch the phone to do this. When I try this on my Cappy or SGSII I get nothing. I have to initiate the call on the phone and using voice recognition on Android is spotty, at best, and requires more steps. At least answering a call is relatively easy. I have no love for MS, but they got this part right on their phones.

Sgs2 does this stock with no problems via samsung/vlingo voice command app. Seems hit or miss on some custom roms. As long as device has bt turned on and had been prior paired with a headset, just have to turn headset on then hit the button on the headset. Voice prompts over headset ensue

I'm headed into the AT&T store tomorrow to do some definitive tests but so far I'm skeptical people who say it's working for them truly have their phone locked. The Bluetooth unit in question is a Parrot CK3100 LCD - a bit dated (3 years old) but it works flawlessly with several WinMo phones, several non smartphones (mostly Nokia's), and we just tried a friend's iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. In all cases phonebook and voice dialing not only worked excellently it worked when the phones were truly locked and the screen off.
On the other hand the 3 Android devices I've tried all have the same problem - they won't dial out either by phone book entry or voice recognition unless you unlock the device first. The 3 devices are: Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T), Samsung Galaxy S (Verizon), and EVO 3D (T-Mobile).
Unfortunately I don't have any other Bluetooth headsets to try out, hence my planned trip to AT&T. I plan on walking out of their either with a Bluetooth device that works or an iPhone Thanks for the replies.
I hear you. I have a Motorola FINITI bluetooth headset and it will not voice dial with the screen locked on my AT&T Galaxy SII.

Some roms give you a quick toggle in your status bar called secure mode, this should do it.

Are you using a pattern/pin lock? Or just the slide to unlock.
Just slide to unlock.
It works very well and very straightforward. I just press and hold the call button on my headset (while the phone is locked), and then after the tone say, "call John Doe on mobile" and it works.
Something for OP to consider in troubleshooting why he is unable get this work:
The BT voice dial works through the older pre-installed Vlingo (version 2.x). Even though I have the newer version (3) of Vlingo installed, the phone still launches the older preinstalled version of Vlingo for BT voice dial. So it seems the BT voice dial function is in some way hardcoded to that version of Vlingo.
Perhaps OP is using a custom ROM in which the older pre-installed Vlingo is removed(?). I know that is the case with some of the custom ROMs for the Int'l SGS2.
If I were to freeze or remove the older version of Vlingo, that might impact BT voice dial. Although I wouldn't expect it to affect the use of my phone through my car's build in BT.
Try it with a pattern lock or some kind, I believe that is what the OP has and its what "locks" the phone from using BT dialing, whether its voice based, or address book based from a headunit.
OK, if OP means that type of lock, then, no you cannot make a call when locked.
Although, it is not clear to me why one would want BT to bypass the lock in this manner. It seems the PIN or pattern lock would be pointless. If the phone is stolen (or lost) the person who stole it (or found it) could have access to your phone's contents through bluetooth. Am I missing something?
Definitely missing something. He wants the phone to be able to make calls while the phone is locked which is why i suggested to keep it unlocked by enabling driving mode through the mount.
My point was that allowing bypassing the lock through BT creates a exposure many would not want. The simplest solution might be keeping it unlocked either using a mount as you suggest, or using one of the profile apps that lets you create a profile to keep the phone unlocked when plugged in. He could then plug it into the car power adapter.
I use a pattern lock, and can make calls through the built-in BT in my car when the phone is locked. I can dial on the car's touch screen (disabled when the car is in motion, except for pre-set speed dials), or tell it to call someone by pressing a button on the steering wheel and saying the name. The car BT compares the spoken name with the list of contacts from my phone that have been BT-loaded into the car's contact list. Nevertheless,the call is made though the phone, since the vehicle BT is not itself a phone. Has anyone noticed that we have not heard again from Rajah, the originator of this thread? Rajah, are you there? Were your issues resolved?
Has anyone gotten groove IP or talkatone (or any other app) working well on their player?
I installed both and they both work, I just can't get the delay to a minimum. I set google voice up so that if my cell misses a call, it forwards to my SGP. If it's not on WIFI or gets ignored, it drops the call to google voice voicemail, transcribes it and emails it to me. Pretty cool imo, especially for free.
I tried playing with all the settings in both programs.. with a good wifi signal and my home router the call is clear but there's a good delay to it. Every once and awhile the call gets kinda choppy like you're losing service too. My computer that's connected to wifi right next to me tests 20mb down, 2mb up so it shouldn't be a connection issue?
Anyone else played around with this and gotten it to work well?
Groove IP
I use Groove IP with GTalk.
I can only get acceptable sound quality on their end when using a bluetooth headset. For some reason when I use the built in mic the other side always complains about quality.
It certainly isn't as good as using my laptop from the same chair on the same network with the same headset. Laptop is crystal clear and no complaints, on the Samsung it is 'ok' with minor complaints.

Ok so it's not just me then. Other end always complains of an echo for me, and if I adjust it to fix that then you either can't hear the other end or they can't hear you.
I'll have to give the bluetooth thing a try, that sucks but does make some sense. I do wonder why it's an issue though, skype works in phone mode brilliantly from my SGP with no echo and great call quality. Might have something to do with google voice's codecs.
I've tried GrooveIp and Talkatone and both have the delay. I've read a couple of places that this is due to the method Google voice uses to connect - kind of a patch between two systems or call forwarding if you will. I also thought maybe my router wasn't fast enough so I just bought the top rated (www.smallnetbuilder.com) router - Asus RT-N56U. We'll see if it helps but I kinda think the delay is due to how Google is routing the calls.
I tried Skype but the sound comes out my speakers instead of the ear speaker. @exodus454 - did you get yours to work and if so how? Or are you using ear phones /headset / bluetooth with it? I find Skype software to be crap on pretty much every phone I've tried it on - Windows phone and Android.
I also just saw that Vonage has came out with an Android App but I don't know if it will work on the YP-G70.
