1.1.3 and Parrot Bluetooth car kit problems and solution

I've discovered a potential fix with help from the good folks at Parrot Bluetooth devices technical support. The main issue with version 1.1.3 upgrade and car kits appears to be when the iPhone attempts to sync contacts with the BT device. Apparently, something changed in 1.1.3 about how Apple sent contacts through BT. To fix it on a Parrot car kit, first delete the iPhone from the list of paired devices on the car kit. Then unpair the car kit on the iPhone. Pair the two devices following your devices instructions, only with contact synchronization disabled. On my 3200LS this meant selecting "Disable Synchro" from the phone pairing list. The connection was quick and rock solid after doing this.
I have seen reports of this same solution working with Ford Sync devices also, and it may address some of the Garmin issues too. Obviously, this isn't ideal since you won't have any contacts or at least will have to manually enter them on your device. But it should get you through until Apple devises a fix in a near future (hint Apple) upgrade.

Klash,
Try updating to iPhone 1.1.4, and see if your issue is resolved.
Hope this helps,

  • N8 Bluetooth car kit problem

    After some tests and research, it seems that:
    - N8 don't sync phonebook with the most recent Audi and BMW built-in Bluetooth car kits (but seems to work with some Mercedes models).
    - The antenna signal communication doesn't work either.
    - Some times (about 1 out of 3) the answer of an incoming call is not handled correctly by the BT car kit.
    - Just phone pairing and basic call handling is working.
    The same Audi and BMW Bluetooth car kits are working fine with the N97 (including phonebook synchronizing, recent call handling and antenna signal).
    In this situation the N8 is almost unusable safely by car!
    Does anyone have some advice?
    Is this a known problem from Nokia? Is it planed of being solved in a next firmware?

    There also Problems with Parrot MKI9200.
    After ending the conversation with incoming calls and pressing red button the N8 starts streaming music buy it self thru the Parrot. If you call out this never happens.
    And there is problem handling music streaming playback with the Parrot + N8.
    Speak and contacts works like it should.
    Toyota RAV 2010 BT HF you can pair it but you can't talk thru it.
    Older BT headset does the same you pair it but no sound.
    So I think N8 has problems with older Bluetooth devices.
    All Car brand has problems with many phones so it´s no 100% solution.
    Better to go the old way = Buy the BT car solution from the same brand as the phone
    and you get a solution from the same decade.
    And skip the old **bleep** the carbuilders is building in the most cars that has a development
    time for about 5-8years that worked good with the Nokia 6233.....
    Use the Nokia CK-200 work like a glove!
    But buy the extra external mic the build in is just built in...

  • Alltel 8130 and Nissan Bluetooth Car Kit

    HELP!!! New Nissan Altima with Bluetooth Car Kit.  I am able to pair no problem, make and receive call without a hitch.  Downloaded phone book with ease.  The problem is whenever I use the phone with the car kit after I exit the car the phone locks up, keys do not respond and I have to do a battery pull to reset the phone.  No problem until I use the phone in the car again (with the bluetooth kit).  Any help or suggestions are appreciated.  I do have the latest OS (4.5.0.89).
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Problem Solved: I went to Alltel store and they adviced I do a manual disconnect from the phone before I turn off the car, this seemed to work so since I placed ther Bluetooth icon on the frontpage of my phone it seems to be working fine without having to manually disconnect.  I do not quite understand why it works now but it does.

  • IPhone G3 S with built in BlueTooth car Kit problem

    I have an iPhone 3Gs.
    When I connect to my car kit (Motorola T605) the kit always falls back into music mode.Tthe phone works in this mode but when I use either the iPod feature or a GPS navigation app I get no sound through the car.
    It worked perfectly with my older iPhone with 2.2.1.
    Any ideas as to what is wrong or what I can do to rectify the problem ?
    Do any of you have car kits that work fully with the iPhone 3G s that you can recommend .. It looks like I might have to change my car kit.
    I have updated my 2.2.1 3G phone .... The same problems exist. It seems to be a version 3.0 software issue to me.

    Hi Tim,
    I have just spent 2 hours on the phone with Motorola's tech support (They were useless at best !!!). I got nowhere at all. They blame all the problems all on Apple and say their kit is NOT guaranteed to work with all phones with A2DP. I wish they said that in their sales literature and i told them that .. they seemed to be unable to accept the idea that their saying it works in writing is somewhat misleading (Wrong in this case) and perhaps even a breach of sales law.
    I then spent over an hour at my local (and very experienced) car audio store. they were more than helpful but they also could not get things working correctly.
    I do have a Sony car stereo system and this has a lead for an iPod to play through the stereo system.
    I connected my iPhone to this ... it worked .. sort of ! .. I had to play around a bit .. I managed to get Audio to work and my navigation App (Navigon Europe) worked this way also.
    The store then played around with a Parrot MKi9100 car kit that they had on a demonstration stand.. This was significantly better and I am having my motorola T605 removed and disposed of in disgust tomorrow and the Parrot installed.
    The Parrot will also charge the iPhone via it's cable unlike the Motorola and Sony setup.
    I did speak to Parrot themselves and they have said to me that any of their models in the MKi range will be fine with the iPhone with version 3.0 software as they have done software updates .. The updates can be applied by the owners simply and quickly.
    Just for information for you and others with similar problems ... We also tried several car stereo systems that say they have bluetooth and iPhone compatibility built in to them .. Alpine in particular ... Not one worked !!!
    The Parrot is being fitted as I said earlier tomorrow ... I will make a further report when it's all done to let you know just how good it is and how everything works.
    I hope this helps.

  • X6 and Parrot CK3100LCD Car kit

    I have been using a Nokia 6600 fold with the Parrot car kit very successfully. I've now switched to the X6 which pairs with the car kit most of the time and works initially but then, for no apparent reason, I cannot hear the caller, even though they can hear me perfectly.

    Klash,
    Try updating to iPhone 1.1.4, and see if your issue is resolved.

  • N80 and Motorola IHF1000 Bluetooth car kit

    Hi all,
    I've been unable to get my Nokia N80 to correctly pair with the standard bluetooth car kit supplied with the car. I have also downloaded the latest firmware, but this does not seem to rectify the issue.
    Is there another solution instead of moving to another phone manufacturer?

    I'm now with Sony Ericsson and the above post should have been my last were it not for a rather belated response to my enquiry with Nokia 'Support'. Moderators really should take note to the response that Nokia 'support' team offer as it is in their direction that the moderators will often send bemused Nokia owners who need help on this forum: - -------------------------------------------------- Dear Mr xxx Thank you for contacting Nokia Helpline. With regard to your email concerning the Nokia N80, we can advise as Nokia do not test out handste with any third party software or deivices we can not say wether they will be compatabile. Please don't hesitate to contact us again if you have any further questions. With best regards UK & Ireland Team Nokia Helpline ---------------------------------------------------- It has taken the best part of 3 weeks to receive the above response which, quite frankly, offers absolutely no help whatsoever!! Quite an admission though. Just to repeat what they have said above....NOKIA do NOT test their handsets with ANY third party software or device. This leaves owners such as myself, who spec car-kits at he point of buying a new car because they prefer the integrated equipment rather than an 'add-on', completely high and dry! I still have the N80 and intend to keep it as a constant reminder NEVER to buy anything made by Nokia again. ttfn

  • N73 and voice dialing using Bluetooth car kit

    Hi,
    I have a N73 using v3.0638.0.0.01, its a vodafone phone. I have it set up with my CK-7W car kit and it works great except when I want to make a call. If I try and use voice dialling through the car kit it never finds my contact and simply say "no match found". If I put the phone directly in front of me and oice dial using the car kit it works.
    Everything worked fine until the firmware was updated and I have restred my contacts from backup. The problem here is not that voice dialling isn't working, per se, but that it wont interact with the car kit since the firmware was updated.
    Any ideas folks.
    Chris

    I have an iPhone 3G 16gig. I just bought a Kensington Liquid AUX Bluetooth Car Kit, paired everything up, and tested it out in the garage. The only downside (at that point) was that the included remote only controlled start and stop, not forward and back tracks. Later I tested it on the road and thought my ears were playing tricks on me when I heard the music changing pitch. Once I figured out it wasn't me, I changed tracks and even tried streaming radio and still, pitch up/pitch down, song faster/song slower. I noticed it got markedly worse when I tried to use another program while having the ipod play in the background, which makes me think it is a hardware issue; possibly the processor speed or "RAM" or however iPhones work. I am planning on trying it with my ipod and a bluetooth attachment I have for it to see if the music distorts. If it is the hardware on the phone, looks like apple forgot to mention as a selling point that the faster innards are needed for true A2DP stereo bluetooth! Another part of their brilliant scheme I guess!

  • Unable to manage volume with my bluetooth car kit

    I have a bluetooth car kit Parot CK-3000 and the volume is very low and I can't change it with my new Nokia phone 6120. With my previous phone (Sony-Ericsson, SPV) it was running well but with my new phone I can't change the volume of my bluetooth car kit and I can't manage it with the specific menu.
    Can you help-me on this subject ?
    Thank's in advance.

    Hi fct24
    I don't know which firmware version your phone is running, key in *#0000# on standby screen as there have been several posts in the past concerning this issue.
    Do you have to set Parrot up as an "enhancement", I know "headset" will be listed but is there a "car kit" option?
    Is Parrot using their latest software?
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • What is the best Bluetooth car kit for Siri?

    I have an iPhone 4S and I do a lot of calling for work from my car.  I need a really good Bluetooth car kit that plays well with Siri.
    I bought the Motorola Roadster and it is very inconsistent.  Sometimes people can hear me very well and other times I am cutting out so badly no one can understand me.  When I am making business calls this is unacceptable.  I can always hear the person I am talking to very clearly on the Roadster.
    Siri does not understand me through the roadster and it can take forever to finish a request.  Usually I just get the phone out and do it myself, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a hands free car kit.
    Playing music would be a nice feature but the most important feature is call quality.
    Thanks.  Any help you can offer will be very much appreciated.

  • Connecting two mobile to the one bluetooth car kit...

    Is it possible to connect two mobile phones to the same bluetooth car kit at the same time?

    I dont think its possible, i may be wrong, but imagine if both phones were connected to the car kit and they both got a phone call, there is no way it would work as it would not know what phone to connect.
    So i dont think its possible.
    My posts are my opinion and in no way the direct views of Nokia.
    If my posts are helpful, please give me some KUDOS using the green star on the left.

  • Bluetooth car kit connectivity issue after IOS 8.1.2 update

    After the IOS 8.1.2 update I cannot connect my IPhone with the Bluetooth car kit (hands free) system of my car.
    Before the update connectivity was perfect, after the IOS 8.1.2 update the car kit does not find the IPhone any longer.
    To solve this issue I deleted both the car kit and the IPhone from the paired devices list of both (my car and the Iphone) and tried to pair them again - no success. The car kit just does not finds the Iphone any longer.
    Please, help!!!

    Just to share the way I finally solved the problem - might be helpful to somebody else.
    I didn't noticed before that the IOS 8.1.2 update changed automatically the name of my Iphone from the one I've given to it before to just "Phone".
    I re-named the Iphone (just gave a new name to it by going to Settings -> General -> About -> Name) and then the car kit managed to find the phone very quickly via Bluetooth.

  • Nokia C7-00 & Kufatec FISCON Bluetooth Car Kit

    Hello everybody!
    I just updated my C7-00 with latest Symbian Anna 022.014.
    Very nice user interface, updated browser, all applications 100%-compatible.
    I do have a serious problem with my Bluetooth car kit (Kufatec FISCON using CK5050+ chipset, SW 3.23.5). The phone pairs with the kit, synchronizes content (contacts and call registers). When I disconnect (turn off ignition and leave the car), the phone hangs and displays the bluetooth connection as already established.
    Things were working very well with latest Symbian version (014.XXX).
    I think this is a bug in Anna Bluetooth stack. Does anyone have any clue?
    The problem occurs once the phone contacts are synchronized with the car kit.
    When I disconnect just after pairing (before complete synchronization) the phone behaves normally (ie. connection is dropped).
    Is it possible that the phone does not complete disconnect request from car kit?

    Hello,
    Did you solve the problem?
    Too late I saw your post, but my problem is completely the same:
