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.

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...

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!

Does the iPhone 4S work with the tom-tom car kit?

The tomtom car kit still works fine with my old iPhone 4. I can not get it to work with my iPhone 4S at all it does not recognize the car kit.

I also posted this problem on the tomtom fourums and got a fix from a user. In addtion to the iphone 4 adapter I used a peice of velcro on top of the existing adapter I had in place. Now it works with the iphone 4S. I guess the 4S is slightly thinner the the 4.

E66 with Audi SAP Bluetooth Car Kit

Hi
I've been using my E66 with my Audi A6 SAP car kit for two weeks now. Unlike my E51 which works fine the E66 connects ok then after about 1 or 2 minutes disconnects. After another 30 seconds or so it reconnects to the car kit. It seems that if I make or receive a call during the first minute then the E66 will remain connected. If I don't it will enter the disconnect / connect cycle.
Is anybody else having the same problem?
Cheers
James

The generic problem you have with Car Kits made for Car Manufacturers and phones is that both companies are very inclined not to talk to one another, and when you try and find out why its failing each will blame each other.
The problem may quite probably be resolved by a software update, either in the phone or the car.
You can check the Nokia site to see if an update is available for your phone.
The Audi update will have to be done by your local Audi Centre, which can be tricky to do to say the least, because they tend to stall, and give a self-righteous attitude towards the customer trying to tell them how it is.
I'd check with a few local Audi Centres.
The list of compatible handsets, is always out of date, and you get phones like the 6230 etc they dont really pay much attention to it.
I found that my S3 kit which is not SAP, would disconnect when my phone left the range of my WLAN, sometimes if I restarted the phone before I got it, it wouldn't disconnect at all.
I don't get it at all with my E71.
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black
Nokia E72-1 with Vr 051.018.207.04 Software
If this post helped... Add some kudos!!

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,

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.

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

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

E61i with Bluetooth car kit - How do make calls wi...

Hi, I have a new E61i and find most things spot on but find I can make and receive calls through the car kit while its connected fine. My problem comes when the phone goes into the locked mode after the set period of time.
At this point, although I can still receive calls I am unable to make them through the kit. It shows its trying to dial out then come up straight away with call ended. Unlock the phone and it all works again.
With a full function car kit now not working 100% its a bit frustrating!! I have tried most of the settings within the bluetooth section of the phone, e.g. the remote SIM mode, but still no joy.
Any help would be great.

OK, I solved this for myself after much playing about with the menus and settings. Why oh why is their no direct support from RIM without haveing to purchase a support package?? This is clearly a topic that should be covered in the intruction manual sent out with the ohones, anyway this how to do it in case anyone has the same problem.
1/ Make a bluetooth pairing.
2 go to "options", press OK
3/ go to "Networks and Connections", press OK
4/ go to "Bluetooth Connections" press OK
5/ select the paired device and press OK
6/ select "Full Menu" press OK
7/ select "Options" press OK
8/ scroll down to "Services and deselect the tick in "SIM Access Profile"
9/ Press return and select "Save" press OK.
The phone now works perfectly with my built in car kit.
Sirely it is about time phone and car manuefacturers got together to develop a system that works on all car kits.

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.

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

Are there any LCD HDTVs with built-in bluetooth?

So I'm going to buy an LCD HDTV and I'd like to be able to use it occasionally as an external monitor for my iBook G4. Does anyone know of a brand that makes LCDs with built-in bluetooth? I could only find two--a Samsung that has been discontinued, and an LG that is only available in Europe.
If not, are there any ways to use my to-be-purchased tv as a wireless computer monitor?
Thanks.
-EM

Having an LCD TV with Bluetooth wouldn't help you to use it as a wireless monitor at all. Bluetooth is nowhere near fast enough to transfer real-time video data, let alone a high-resolution or HD computer display.
Bluetooth is for transferring small amounts of data. It would take 10-20 seconds to transfer 1 single medium sized JPEG image for example.
Wireless HD is a new technology that hasn't really made it to market yet as the standard is still being worked upon and adopted by manufacturers:

http://www.wirelesshd.org/welcome.html
Why does it need to be wireless? If you're close enough to be able to see the TV at a usable distance, you're close enough to simply connect a cable.

9630 does not connect with Bluetooth Car Kit Speakerphone

Whenever I try to make a call with my Motorola T215 Car Kit Speakerphone, my BlackBerry 9630 Tour "smart"phone says, Connection to Motorola T215 failed. I have followed the pairing instructions that came with the car kit precisely and repeatedly, but still get the same result. To add even more enjoyment to my experience, my connection with the Bluetooth device seems to go on and off as it pleases. I figure the only way to put an end to this issue is to smash it with a hammer, but if you know of another solution, I would appreciate it. My carrier is Sprint, and OS version is 4.2.0.285.

The first thing I would suggest doing it running an upgrade on your device software. To do this you will need your USB cord and access to the internet.
Go to: www.blackberry.com/update and then follow the prompts to update your device software.
This should back up your device data automatically, but to be save incase of any situation that may arise do a backup of your device through the BlackBerry Desktop Software.
Once the update is done, test the Bluetooth connection.
Hope this helps.
