IPhone & Bluetooth Car Kit

I have connected my Bluetooth to my car radio system via Bluetooth, and whilst the connection works fine, when I make a telephone call, whilst I can hear the other party, they cannot hear me. With other mobile 'phones connected in the smae care via Bluetooth this has not been an issue. Anyone else having similar problems?

Guys, I was having the same problem and despaired of fixing it. Today however I made a startling discovery while testing it. My assistant reported that the sound was much better when, by accident, I was holding the handset. On further testing we found that it really was true. Sound when it sits in its (useless) Kensington cradle is terrible. Also bad if you place it on the dashboard. But take it out and place it on the front passenger seat, and near the front of the seat, and its fine. Place it very near the microphone though, and it gets worse, loads of echo. As to why, no idea. But it really works, try it.
My car is a Toyota RAV4

  • Using iPhone with Pontiac GTO - 2004-2006 with Holden Bluetooth Car Kit

    I have a 2004 Pontiac GTO with a Holden Bluetooth Car Kit. I can pair the phone with the bluetooth kit but I can't activate the device when I receive or place a call. My previous phone (Motorola RAZR) had no issues. Has anyone had the same problem and been able to solve it?

    I just sold my Motorola RF-850 that was hooked up to my GTO today because it wasn't working with my IPhone.
    I can't believe you paid for the Holden one.
    Anyway good luck.

  • Pairing iPhone 3 with Samsung HKT450 Bluetooth Car Kit

    I just bought a Samsung HKT450 Bluetooth Car Kit from New Egg. The device goes into pairing mode, but my iPhone 3, when I set it to search, it searches then goes back to off not showing the device to pair. I can repeat this everytime while the device is in pair mode. What am I doing wrong?

    I tried that. My wife has two bluetooth earpieces, a Motorola and Jabra. Neither paired. The funny thing is the Samsung device paired with both of her Blackberrys. Go figure!

  • Any Suggestions on a Bluetooth Car Kit for iPhone 3G

    Any suggestions on a bluetooth car kit to go with my iPhone 3G. I could get a bluetooth earpiece, but I would really only need this in my car because of the new California law.

    Hi Mike,
    What's your budget? For less than $2,000 U.S. you could get into an ARRI kit with a 650W and two 300W heads. This is what I would use. If you don't even have $1K for a Lowell kit, do an internet search for budget kits and home made setups. I saw some kits for as low as $99 to $399.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Bluetooth Car kit

    Is anyone having an issue with the iphone synching with your bluetooth car kit. I have an after market motorola HF850 car kit from my other blackberry pearl and I did not have any problems with that 200 dollar phone. Now with this 400 and change phone I can't do the things that my half the price phone could.
    Help

    I've tried connecting to my bluetooth kit, now that I've upgraded to 1.1.3, and I was able to make one call successfully. However, that was it. Otherwise, the phone does the same things as before - mainly it keeps trying to connect to the BT kit.
    APPLE: _fix this, please_. We didn't drop all this money on a phone so that it wouldn't work with our bluetooth accessories (which, BTW, the car kit wasn't exactly chump change, either).

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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:

  • 6300 failed connection to bluetooth car kit

    New 6300 will not pair with my motorola bluetooth car kit. Never finds device.
    My 6230i worked well - so what is the problem please? Is it software in 6300? Is there a fix. Surely bluetooth is bluetooth....otherwise what's the point
    As an aside 6300 seems to get poorer recption than 6230i did as well - is this the first time in 20 years that I have upgraded to phone that performs less well than the previous one!?
    Thanks
    Peter

    By the way Motorola kit is an HF850 and was professionally installed in the car only just over a year ago - so is not an old model. As I say the 6230i works perfectly with it.
    I see 55 people have viewed the Post - has no one got any bright ideas - please! Peter

  • Best choice for a bluetooth car kit for the 4S?

    I want to add a car kit to my 2004 MINI I have the Aux in jack for the audio HK ans XM radio system that came with the car but the 2004 Nokia bluetooth kit that was installed when the car was new only worked with a 2004 Nokia feature phone and after I replaced that phone with a motorola phone in06 I have had to use a Jabla ear piece for hands free in the car... and with the new 4S I would like to fit a proper working bluetooth car kit I understand there is something new about how bluetooth is implimented in the 4S that is causing some problems with car kits.
    has a concesis as to what should be bought yet? if not if the smart thing to do to wait a few months?
