Default bluetooth bluetooth bluetooth HELP

Hello I'mm pretty new to all this, so please ignore my ignorance.

Recently I purchased an Ipaq 2210 and a bluetooth gps unit (Clipon). They work great, i'm very impressed and so is the missus!!

I have a sony t68i phone and purchased a parrot ck3000 bluetooth handsfree kit, again this works has advertised, very impressive. I borrowed my wifes Sonyt610 ( she doesnt like it so uses a nokia pnone with BIG keys I hate the nokia, and it doesnt have bluetooth, but each to their own. Again the T610 works great with the car kit, I had it registered setup for GPRS and it now downloads traffic info for the tomtom s/w again very please works great, most of the time.

However this where my stupidity really kicks in. I assume that BT phone BT handsfree kit BT ipaq, means integrated system all working together.

Simply what I expected was
1) Listen to car stereo radio/cd/mp3 ( ihave an mp3 player not from ipaq) phone rings stereo mutes answer call spek sound through car stereo my voice relayed through carkit microphone, finish call back to stereo. This part works as expected if not better because i can say a magic word and the name i wish to call and it des it for me, very impressive.

2) listen to car stereo tomtom gives a voice instruction stereo mutews sound through the handsfree kit, instruction ends back to stereo. No chance apparently the ipaq does not have an handsfree profile built in. Can yu beleive this, I cant. However after trawling through the net i find that you can enable an handsfree profile by tweakin the registry. Have done this paired the ipaq with the parrot and guess what? Still doesnt work. the stereo mutes beeps then approx 3 sec later does the same again and continues to do this. I have read somewhere that it means the Ipaq or handsfree kit needs to answer, howevr i dont know how to. Also I f i did know how to presumably that would mean the parrot was on all the time, and I wouldnt be able to listen to the stereo, sure I could listen to some mp3's from the ipaq, but these would only be in mono and sound crap.

Also it appears that I cant have my T610 doing the gprs for trafffic update (Bt to ipaq) and normal phone calls to handsfree kit because the phone only supports 1 bt connection at any one time. Therefore I have 2 phones in the car t610 for gprs traffic update and t68i for nrmal calls.

If i'm wrong about any of the above or if anyone can offer advice I would be most gateful. If anyone has tried getting the sounds from ipaq through a parrot or anyother BT phone kit please let me know how you got on even if you failed like me.

Apologies for the rant As you probably tell I'm happy with my setup, I just want it to be properly integrated.
When you buy kit that says bluetooth is it too much to ecpect it to work with other bluetooth equipment in a logical way.

Regards Nigel.

Hi and welcome to our forums. I wish I knew the answer but I'm afraid I don't.
Doesn't sound like you suffer from stupidity or ignorance though as trying to get this setup would have twisted my melon and you seem to have done a good job so far.

The iPAQ doesn't have voice enabled BT profiles as it's implemented for data only (web access via GPRS etc). HP were going to release the 5550 as a PDA/Phone which would have had voice enabled BT but they canned the idea.
To listen to mp3's from the iPAQ the headphone socket gives a stereo output. Anyone else any experience on this subject?

Most of whats above I dont have a 'scooby' about, and you should consider going into PDA consulting!

However, Ive had success using a combined carkit cradle/transmitter to transmit TOMTOM instructions through my car stereo. I also have on my spare space on my SD card my mp3's which I listen to whilst using tomtom in CD quality stereo through my car stereo speakers. There are obviously several of these cradles about, and Ive had no problems with it at all

I got it aaaaaages ago from Expansys. It was a generic 'multimedia' mount for an IPAQ. Havent got an idea whether they or anyone else still do it. Sold mine on Ebay in the Autumn as I have an XDA2 now.

If you look on ebay there are several battery powered FM transmitters available which do the same job for PDA's and IPOD's

Hope this helps!
