Battery condition with in car hands free

My iPod touch 2nd Gen has spent most of its life plugged into my Parrot hands free kit in my car, now Ive disconnected it, it seems the battery only lasts a few hours.
Does anyone know if the iPod will automatically bypass the battery when fully charged, ie, keeping the battery in peak condition.

For maximum battery life Apple recommends:
"Use iPod Regularly
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month. If you use your iPod infrequently (gasp), you might want to add a reminder to your calendar program."
Thus, it appears you have not done that and thus the battery life would be shortened. I conclude that what you see is not unexpected.

Bluetooth connectivity issue with the car hand free

I started having a problem when I updated my software to the latest version. The Bluetooth is keep connecting and disconnecting in an annoying way once I start any music with my mobile Z3 device.

You may need to remove the handset from car's Bluetooth memory, then re-add it. Also, remove the car from the handset's Bluetooth memory, then re-add.

Having trouble using my 9720 connecting to car hands free kit

Hi, i am utterly frustrated with my company blackberry 9720 phone. The trouble i am having is with the car hands free kit, my skoda superb uses the bluetooth premium and cannot use the normal hands free setting like with my Iphone. The problem i am having is firstly connecting, i can only use the bluetooth premuim, which completly changes all the setting on the phone i.e turns the network off on the phone and then a screen pops up saying running SAP mode (must use an ittenna in car?), which in turn stops emails from coming in, i can stupidly write texts messages on my dash board and receive them and read them on my dash board while driving. So when i remove the keys from the ignition the phone does not put the phone back to its normal working settings, it keeps the network switched off i have to go to settings and turn the network on. Thirdly when i turn the car on the phone will not connect automatically it says cannot connect to mobile, but if i switch the phone off and on it automatically connects, but if by the grace of god it does connect an second time the phone crashes and resets and then connects five minutes later after reseting. forthly this is not an phone issue it is definatly software as i have been given an second 9720 and the fault is present on both phones.
can anyone help

as I believe it a car bluetooth hands free can only be paired to one device . ie if you wish to pair with another device you would have to reset back to default and search again.... so does the cuve work if you reset the bury and pair again but then your other phone does not work with it ... this is logical as if we drove down a motorway we would pick up loadsa phones.... therefor we can only pair to one device

Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

Does the ipod nano 7th gen work with Belkin Blue tooth In car hands free? Customer support said it did when I bought it, but the box doesn't say it does and I dont want to open it in case I have to return it.

If the Belkin supports the A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) profile then it will work.

Bluetooth connection to car hands free

i have a motorola car hands free kit installed with my old 6230i the connection was automatic but i now have a 5500 sport this needs to be re-installed every time i get into my van does anyone know why or is the sport a H.O.S

If you try resetting your motorola car kit ( i dont know how) then pair your phone again this should work. also in your phone bluetooth settings see if you can change the motorola kit to automatically authuorise connections. It sound like the kit is still looking for your 6230i which needs to be deleted.

HT204387 Can't find my car hands-free kit

Hi, With iphone 5 I can't find my cars hands-free kit when searching bloutooth, but I can find it and pair it easily with my iPhone 3GS. My car is Cadillac SRX 2012

Try unpairing the iPhone 3GS from your Cadillac, then try pairing the iPhone 5 again.
You can find more troubleshooting info in this Apple doc -> iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
Also, iOS 6 uses AVRCP 1.4 so you may need to update the reciever in the car to make it compatible with with all versions of ACRCP.

HT204387 how to use synched phone in a car hands free

Hi,
I can't use my 4S phone in my car hands free, it is synched but when I actually talk on phone I have to use the phone in my ear, somehow my setting is changed and I can't get to use the phone hands free, the bluetooth is on, don't know what else to to.

That would be interesting to see an app that's able to do all this and be able to have a keypad to dial a number. Alot of consumers see the iPad as a replacement stereo, if you really look at the features and price between haveing a high-end double din stereo with GPS vs. an iPad/Mini. The high-end stereo w/gps,bluetooth,usb for media storage and all the bells & whistles will cost you well over $1000; As for the iPad.... the iPad already does most of the features that a car stereo can do and alot more, with the exeption of not being able to make a bluetooth calls, but with a price well under $1000 depending on storage space. I have seen that the iPad,& iPad mini has made an impact in the caraudio scene ever since the very first iPad was released. If seeing is believing.... I would suggest to do a search on the web and youtube "ipad in car".

I can no longer get my i phone 4 to pair with my autos hand free. the blue tooth on the phone is on and so is the sinc. thanks, cliff

Syncing contacts with a Parrot hands free kit

My old iPhone synced well with 2 Parrot hands free units (3100 and 3200). However, the 3G only partially syncs the contact list (gets about 1/2 way through on the 3100, a little better on the 3200). It looks like there is plenty of available memory on the hands-free unit. Anyone have similar problems/suggestions? (I have just over 1000 contacts.) There appear to be a number of duplicated or previously deleted contacts in the list that is synced.

The issue was all around Mobilme syncs and the solution to stop duplicates by choosing "all contacts" solved the problem here.

#6680 - connecting car hands-free + speaker to pho...

The 6680 phone fails to operate through the car hands-free unit (amplified speaker + mike). The phone remains in normal mode for receive/call.
The cable connection (plug and cradle is OK) as the phone charges when connected.
Grateful for some comments/help.
MikeS

try disconnecting the conector from the bottom of the cradle and plugging into bottom of the phone, i this works then you have either a dodgy cradle or a poor conncetion, this connector is easily knocked out of place. Has this kit been working ok previously or have you just aquired it.

9860 Bluetooth problems with car hands-free

I have a Torch 9860 that has problems with my new 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe. I can pair it with the bluetooth in the car, and it will sometimes keep the connection on the next trip, but usually I get a 'connection failed' message.
If I revert to the previous OS version, the problem goes away. I had to have the phone replaced recently, though, and the problem is back. It works great with a Jabra earpiece, but not with the car. I could do the same downgrade, but I would prefer not to.
Any ideas, please?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Another user posted, and it worked for me ... go into the properties of the Bluetooth connection and disable everything except 'handsfree dialing.' You will probably then have to re-pair. You won't get streaming music, but I never use that anyway. Hyunday is supposed to be working on a fix, and gave me a rough date of the end of the month. Good luck!

Iphone 2.0 update no longer working with Chrysler Uconnect Hands Free

Hello. I recently downloaded the 2.0 update for my original iphone and it will no longer work with the my Uconnect hands free setup in my 2008 Dodge Ram. I am a Chrysler Dealer Parts Manager and have installed and shown many people how to set these uconnect hands free devices up but I have no connection with the 2.0 update. I pair the phone as a new phone and it will pair but will not show up at all and it says "No Phone". Anybody know a fix for this. Help Apple!!!

I have a new Dodge Nitro. U Connect and iphone were working great. I had no problems until the 2.0 update. I tried calling apple care but gave up quickly when I realized I was going to be waiting forever with everything else they have going on.
The weird thing was that I was on a call trying to get some help from a friend of mine and all of a sudden the phone started working with the u connect. Then after leaving and returning to the car it stopped working again. Haven't been able to get it working since. I though maybe you had to be on a call for a while before it would transfer over. That wasn't it.
I tried turning off wireless too. Again no effect.
The phone shows that it is paired with the u connect. I've tried unpairing and repairing several times still to no effect. They just aren't working. This is a HUGE problem. I love my iPhone but may have to give it up and switch if they don't come up with a fix in the next month or so.
Anybody who can help me solve this would definitely move to the top of my Christmas Card List!

Not allowing bluetooth connection to car hands free

Hi
I have a blackberry curve 8520 and a Bury hands free kit.
Normally as soon as the car is switched on the Bury comes on and starts searching for the blackberry and finds it immediately over the bluetooth and connects without any trouble.
Recently it no longer does this. Now I have to stop the Bury auto searching, turn off the blackberry bluetooth and then turn it back on for the bluetooth to connect.
If I allow for the Bury to keep searching you can see in the wireless networks screen that if briefly connects for a second and then disconnects and continues to do this.
I have restored the Bury to factory reset and it is not the Bury device because my Blackberry Pearl connects fine without any problem, it is my other phone that won't connect.
I have deleted it out of devices, played around with encryption settings and tried every setting I can see.
What is going on? why is my curve not allowing a connection to be made? I don't understand what can have happened for it to suddenly not work.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

as I believe it a car bluetooth hands free can only be paired to one device . ie if you wish to pair with another device you would have to reset back to default and search again.... so does the cuve work if you reset the bury and pair again but then your other phone does not work with it ... this is logical as if we drove down a motorway we would pick up loadsa phones.... therefor we can only pair to one device

Nokia 6230 car hands free ACI question

hello there,
I was trying to connect my nokia 6230 to the car's audio AUX input in order to be able to listen to MP3.
I have a very good knowkedge in Electronics, so i did some changes in the hands-free car kit.
question is : I noticed that when the car kit is connected to the phone (& the car icon appears), the audio output becomes MONO, which means I can't really enjoy stereo MP3 (with my change I bypasssed the car kit's speaker output with relay only when call is active).
the audio out pins of the pop port are at pins 11-14.
BUT - again - when car kit is attached, output pins 13-14 are inactive (only mono from pins 11-12 is available)
does anyone know how to hack this further more so it becomes stereo ? (I guess it is something with the ACI protocol ?? (pin 3))
thanks,
TOM

The phone is only seeing your "modification" as the basic the mono headset. It needs to recognise the ACI chip in the headset, that tells the phone whats plugged in and therefore what audio paths to turn on. Unless you can mimic the ACI info (copywright infringement so be aware)the phone wont open the second audio path.Message Edited by megadodo on 06-Sep-200704:16 PM

6230i connectivity with Honda Bluetooth hands free

I am having trouble maintaining the connection between the Nokia 6230i and the Honda CRV Bluetooth Hands-free system.
I have paired the two and connected them. All works fine. I can also use voice activated.
But if I switch off the Honda or the Nokia and then switch on again, the devices do not connect. The Honda system flashes the blue light and every so often beeps 3 times. I can reconnect manually, but I thought that once the devices were paired they would connect automatically.
Anyone got any advice?

I used a 6230i on an Accord with Sat Nav, and apart from the occasional problem, it worked fine. Now got a 6700 Classic and it will pair OK with the car, but sometimes works with the Honda HFT and sometimes doesn't.
Common fault is disconnecting when other phone answers when dialling from the car, and incoming calls cause the phone to disconnect from the HFT.
There is a website www.hondahandsfree.com where you can check phone compatibility.
I'm hoping a software fix will happen soon.
