XDA II and HCB-30

[oliven_99]

Hi,

Does anyone have this combo and if so do you have problems with them connecting?
I have bonded fine selected headset option and all is working fine (can make and receive calls).
Then when I switch off ignition obviously the carkit disconnects (as It should) and when I switch ignition back on it won't connect unless press cobination of hangup and pick up keys on the carkit, (then I can make and recieve calls fine again).
This seems to be working I would like to know if it should pick it up without intevention or am I doing it right,

Many thanks.

This isn't completely relevant, but I have an XDA II and HBH-30 combo which works better than P900 and HBH-35.

It should pick it up automatically when you start the car again. About 2 secs after I restart my car, the HCB30 unit will beep and that is the indication that it's gone 'activie', i think.

I set my XDA II BT setting on "ON" instead of "DISCOVERABLE". Once in a blue moon it does not connect to the HCB unit. All I do then is to go to the BT setting and tick the "DISCOVERABLE" and then back to "ON" and it will work again.

Hope this helps.

I just thought of something....I remember someone mentioned that you can only have 1 pairing on the XDA II, or else it will not work properly. The HCB30 is the only pairing I have setup for my XDA, and it's working fine.

BTW, have you tried the voice dialing software? It works great in the car but I can only activate it by pressing a button on the XDA. Try it if you haven't already (Fonix VoiceDial 2).

Thanks for the replies, I think that it may be me being impatient.
I have tried the fonix voicedial software it works great - only once you have trained it to ignore the less used contacts.

At the moment I am using something called Hot button plus, it's a great little app that allows you to use one hardware button to launch any app or even dial your most used contacts.

In the UK we need to have complete handsfree use of the phone or we break the new law so this is really helpful as when you press the button it states what it will do. (you can choose from loaded sound files or you can record your own.)

I will give the phone and carkit more time to pair and post my findings.

Thanks for your time.

Neil.
