BlueAnt Car Handsfree & E61i

I purchased a BlueAnt Supertooth Handsfree Car Speakerphone recently which I succesfully paired and used with my E61i phone.
For a good while it worked well until I started using an external Nokia GPS receiver.
While I can still receive GPS info via bluetooth to the phone for TomTom, I cannot now receive any audio through the car speaker phone (phone calls or directions from TomTom).
I went to the shop where I bought the car handsfree and the fault (what ever that may be) seems to lie with the phone.
I think I may have to perform a hard reset of the phone to get it back to factory defaults (and hopefully fix the audio issue).
Any feedback on this problem from anybody?

Scubarish.
Indeed the Parrot MKi9200 looks very slick and I have no doubt it's a great system.
However it isn't cheap at $474.95 in Canada : https://secure.crcc.ca/details.php?productId=594&id=14
Also from what I understand it has to be installed and connected with wires to the existing stereo system
which comes at an additional price ? Not sure how much it costed you.
All in all, the Motorola T505 is only about $60 which is more than my budget of $100+-.
Thanks for your input.

How do i get my iphone5 to sync with my cars handsfree bluetooth?

how do i get my iphone5 to sync with my cars handsfree bluetooth?

You need to check the car's manual to see how to put the car into discovery/pairing mode. Once that is done, the iPhone and car should recognize each other, so long as Bluetooth is turned on in the phone. You may have to enter a passcode in the phone for the vehicle, but that is generally explained in the vehicle's manual.

Is it possible to get Siri to work with 'old' Car handsfree systems?

Is it possible to get Siri to work with 'old' Car handsfree systems?
Unless I'm missing something - Siri doesn't work well with older handsfree car systems - as typically the cars built in system handles the voice control and relays the request to the phone over bluetooth protocols. I tried initiating siri standalone while connected to the car and it failed.
I was hoping I might be able to do some sneaky like 'Call Siri' to enter Siri mode but it doesn't seem to work.
I'm guessing future Car handsfree systems will be Siri aware - but making Siri work with older systems (and my car isn't old - it's a 2011 model) would be very useful.
Has anyone come up with a workaround? I really don't want to have to buy or use a bluetooth ear piece
Thanks
Adam

I never heard anything on this and so am still unable to use Siri without touching my phone.

Bluetooth: N8 to Panasonic CY-BT200 car handsfree

Hi,
I got my Nokia N8 a few days ago and I had Panasonic CY-BT200 car handsfree installed today. The two work together... partially. I can pair them up, I can receive and answer calls, but I can't seem to play audio.
Since both are new to me, It is quite possible I am missing something either in the handsfree settings or in the N8 settings.
The screen on the car is blank (though it is visible that the connection is established) and when I press play on the phone it tries to play but immediately reverts to paused.
Any ideas, suggestions...?
N8 / RM-596
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sadly for me, PR 1.1 did not fix my issue.
I know chances are slim, but I'm still hoping that perhaps with the next firmware... someone at Nokia probably works solely on bluetooth, right? Maybe my car kit is in someone's queue.
The most frustrating thing for me is the feeling that it's probably a simple fix, a line or two of code or something. Because the devices seem to see each other and talk to each other, except when it comes to music, which simply refuses to stream.

9860 unable to make a call - car handsfree

Please help. I've sucessfully connected via Bluetooth and enabled phone on car handsfree. I receive calls directly on hands free - no problem. I can make a call, from my 9860 and then continue with the conversation on the handsfree. BUT I cannot make a call from the go via the car or handsfree device. Go through the motions on handsfree when making a call until "calling the number". Call is then rejected with message: "Unable to find channel or circuit".

Many thanks. problem solved, I feel such an idiot, I'm not very educated on Android phones.

Bluetooth car handsfree caller can't here me

I have a 5800XM and a Supertooth Voice car handsfree and it pairs ok and I was able to transfer the phone book to it but when I recieve a call the person at the other end cannot hear me.
At first I thought it was the supervoice but i tried it on another phone, a Nokia 5228 which is virtuall identical to the 5800 and it worked fine with the bluetooth.
I have the latest firmware on the phone V52.0.007 and I tried a hard reset but that made no difference.
After Googleing the problem it appeares I'm not the only one who has this so has Nokia come out with a fix yet or are they not bothered.
If there is no fix does anybody know if there is a wired hands free kit that works with this phone, not the headset type or a mega expensive plumbed in setup

Nobody here can help, I'm afraid, as we're all customers same as you. Give Sky a call to report the fault.

Problem with in-car handsfree

I'm going to re-test/play around with this some more tomorrow, but my 2006 BMW bluetooth hands-free doesn't seem compatible? It pairs and dials, but the sound still comes out of the handset and not the car speakers.
Anyone else experience anything similar?

I have the same problem with the handsfree in a 2007
BMW X5
The iPhone brings up a screen allowing audio choice between
the normal iPhone handset, speakerphone setting on the iPhone
itself and the handsfree in the car. The handsfree setting still plays over the iPhone.
I've had a Razr and Treo both paired with the car system
with no problem.
No ideas so far.

Why does Apple not support the rSAP - Remote SIM Access Profile - for connection to car handsfree via Bluetooth

Hello community,
I just ordered a new car and it comes with a bluetooth based handsfree installation based on rSAP (remote SIM access profile). I learned that rSAP is the ideal thing to eliminate the unwanted radiofrequency radiation (RFR) inside the car. Now while googleing I also learned that iPhone on iOS does not support rSAP.
I would like to point to the following page which shows some more detailed information on the rSAP topic:
http://paulroberts69.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/android-2-2-and-rsap-compatibility /
I find rSAP a very usefuly thing, if it really brings the GSM radiation level down inside the car and allows the full use of all GSM functions by the rSAP premium handsfree kit built into the car. I absolutely do not understand why it is not already available with iOS.
From several web sources I understand that rSAP is available for jailbroken iPhones. That means, the chips inside the iPhone would support a rSAP service. Therefore my question: will it become available with iOS 6?
Or do all the folks at Apple drive old cars/brands and don't even think of the rSAP feature? Can we somehow start to get a hearing by the Apple developers? According to my knowledge, rSAP is implemented with all premium handsfree factory units of the VW brands - Audi, VW, Skoda ... This should make a relevant user base!
Any others with same wish and/or experiences? Comment here please!
Regards,
Olaf

Hi Meg,
could be several things:
1. they forgot?
2. none of their team members drives any VW branded car?
3. nobody cares about the radiation inside the car?
4. all have plugin holders for the iPhone?
I am just surprised that rSAP is offered by a premium car maker, but Apple seems ignorant about its support.
I am mostly concerned about the radiation when I use regular hands free. But I do understand that rSAP also has some limitations (only access to SIM contacts and other things, Wikipedia DE has a good full report, Wikipedia EN is much shorter).
Regards,
Olaf

E61 and CR-47 in-car handsfree issues

Compatability issues:
I've just installed the CR-47 handsfree holder for the E61 in my Mini and connected the antenna, replacing a previous holder for smaller 6100 pop port Nokia. However, now when the E61 is firmly in the holder it charges but when making a call does not automatically turn the radio off and go through the car speaker system etc, so you can't talk to the other caller. But if I put my old Nokia into the CR-47 it works beautifully.
Could there be a problem with the setup of my E61 which is preventing connection? It seems that the E61 cannot trigger the correct Pop-Port connector for routing through the car kit - very silly.
I'm afraid I don't know which car kit it is, but I do know that it was professionally fitted with cable runs through the structure of the car and all wired up to the in-car entertainment system etc.
There is also an indicator in the top righthand corner of the screen - a tray with an arrow pointing upwards. What does this mean, I can't find it in the manual?
I don't see how Nokia can sell this cradle for the E61 with a Pop-Port interface when it won't interact with the handsfree functions except for charging.
Thanks guys!

It sounds like you have a cark-126 car kit which has old software and limited compatabillity, you will need to upgrade this to a ck-7w. you can identify a cark-126 if the pop port plug going into the bottom of the cradle is rubber, has no nokia makings & has small slits to the bottom.

OK, it might not be the CARK-126. The Mini is 2002 registered so it could be a different kit. All I know is that the kit is all plugged in behind the CD player with the microphone coming out next to the drivers mirror.
Could it be another car kit?
Is there anything I can do to make it work at all?
Can I change the wiring?
Just seems like the E61 is unable to mute the system, but is able to charge and goes into car mode. Also, the other car kits that are compatable are bluetooth ones, so there is no need for the Pop-Port, so why have it except for charging!
I basically want to be able to use the Pop-Port system and have the E61 work the same way the 6100 does.Message Edited by peab1 on 10-Aug-2006

No phonebook transfer to my cars handsfree

I've had quite a few phones the last few years (old Windows mobile, Sony Ericsson K750, two androids, at least) and all of them work great in my car regarding handsfree. But the Lumia 800 only works half way. I can pair it and make calls and receive them, but the phonebook is not transferred. Quite the traffic hazard to have to pick up the phone to find the numbers or dial them manually on the navigation unit.
Is there a setup I can not see, or is this a bug?!? If this is not solveable QUICKLY, the phone is going straight back to the shop!!
Ronald

Some Carkits only support RSAP (Remote Sim Access Profile). What Car & Navigation/Head unit do you have?
As previously stated, the Lumia supports PBAP.

Car handsfree not working on iPhone 6 after ios8.02 upgrade

I have a new iPhone 6 which connected to the handsfree in my Nissan Qashqai fine until i upgraded to iOS8.02, now I am unable to make and receive calls yet am able to stream music via bluetooth when connected to my cars bluetooth. I have tried deleting the pairing on both my phone and the car and reinstating it but no success. Has anyone got any solution to this problem?

There are a couple of workarounds out there you could give a try. For some phones / users it seems to work, for others like me none solved the problem.
1. Do a backup
2. unpair all your BT connections from the phone and in the car. (You've done that already, right?)
3. Reset your network settings (you'll loose your saved wifi networks and the keys and have to connect them from scratch afterwards) (Test it again, if not ...)
4. Disconnect from iCloud and delete data from iPhone (test if it works now, you can connect to iCloud afterwards again and sync your data and settings)(don't know if you possibly loose data, cause i don't store important stuff on iCloud)
These are just a couple of workarounds that are suggested in various forums / newspapers. But none of them helped me to solve the problem permanently.

N80 with HF-3 plug-in car handsfree

Since upgrading my Nokia N80 firmware to v4 (4.0623.0.41), the phone does not use the loudspeaker of the HF-3 when connected to it - it uses the phone speaker (the one which you hold to your ear) which makes it very quiet in the car ! The phone is charged by the HF-3 i.e. the physical connection is good. This worked OK with the previous firmware version (3.0617). Any ideas ?

Solved by NOT restoring from backup after resetting the phone (means that you have to re-enter all the settings etc. by hand, but at least it solves the problem)

Z30 Bluetooth issue with car handsfree since update to 10.3.1.1784

Hi,
I am having a lot of problems getting my Z30 to work properly with my car's bluetooth system (BMW E46 - built 03/2004) since upgrading to this OS version. The Bluetooth system is factory installed (not 3rd party). I had a read through these forums and found some people who also had B/T issues in their vehicles, but I couldn't see what the fixes were (if one exists, feel free to point me in the right direction or send me the URL). The interesting thing is that my phone WAS working just fine until I updated to this OS version - now I cannot see my phone's Address Book on the in-car screen anymore (when I select "DIRECTORY" or "SPEED DIAL", it just displays a message "PLEASE WAIT" and does nothing).I also have issues making calls (the car isn't able to make the phone dial out). It gives the indication that it is, but when I look at the phone itself, the screen shows no activity. I have tried to Unpair and re-Pair, but no difference in behaviour.The pairing process itself works fine, and the phone asks me whether to share my contacts, etc with the in-car Bluetooth system - but even if I select "YES", it doesn't make a difference. Anyone know a fix? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just wondering if anyone from Blackberry is monitoring these forums, as my problem still hasn't been resolved. I recently checked for a software update (hoping there would be one available), but my device tells me that I have the latest software.
