MDA compact ./. THB Bury Carkit: Problem with Patch

[lichtben]

HI everyone,

first post :-)


There is a Patch for enableing the THB carkit to provide a proper muting of the radio. This patch is really slow. This means that it takes at least 2 sec. to mute the radio. This is no problem while using the phone, but it is while using TomTom Navigator.
Now heres what I hope you can do or already did:

Either maybe someone has a better (faster) patch or maybe it is possible to let the TomTom application somehow never use the tel. mute function so that the build in speaker is used.

Thank sou for your answers...

So, what is this pacth doing exactly? Where do you got it from?
For which car kit is ths patch?

I`m using a THB Bluetooth Car kit, but without muting radio, so i can not test it or say anything about it...

Thank you for your reply,

the patch is for the dedicated phone specific cradle wich is available from THB for the MDA compact. The pacth is obviously needed for muting the radio at all. In fact the car kit doesn´t recognise the phone "is in a call" without the patch.

Heres my actual idea:
It seems that only some kinds of audio files are supported for beeing routed to the car kit. E.G. an *.wma doesn´t activate the muting even with the patch. So I´ll try to convert all TomTom5 announcments into *.wma so that they are not routed to the car kit and therewith don´t mute the radio. This is, if it works, an easy and acceptable workaround.
I´ll post wether it worked later.

I´d appreciate anyone having a better or diffrent solution and posting it here.

best,

ben

Hi Ben,

I'm still waiting for my THB carkit and cradle, so I can't help you at this very moment.

What I wanted to know about this kit: is it possible to play music via the radio??

Hi corny749,

you actually are able to listen to music with the carkit. Unfortunately the music is filtered just as a phonecall is by the blackbox. This means that the audio frequencies are not transmitted linear. So the music doesn´t sound very good.

However I hope to here from you in the future. Maybe you´ll find a solution for the patch problem.

best,

ben
