I have an Imate JasJar and a KJam. I love both of them especially since I was able to install A2DP on both devices thanks to the wonderful people here. One of the things I love is being able to sit and watch my home theater with wireless headphones thanks to my ITech bluetooth dongle and my ITech Clip S35. The phone rings and my headset mutes the volume, I take the call, and the volume automatically comes back up. Life is good. I just bought the Nokia 12w bluetooth headset. FM radio, A2DP, AVRCP and headset profiles. A beautiful design with a caller ID window no less. You would think I would be in heaven right? But Nokia crippled this great little accessory. You can only get the non-headset profiles if it comes from the same device that is delivering the headset profile. I am able to connect to my PC, pair it and connect to an AV profile, but no sound ever comes out. Now before I got this headset I had a Diva Gem MP3 player. This thing is great. FM, MP3 player, voice recorder, bluetooth headset profile AND it even took SD cards for file and MP3 usage. I have had a 2GB card in it and really enjoyed it. But the allure of being able to listen to music from my Universal or watch a movie in the waiting room and listen wirelessly was too attractive.
Here is my challenge:
1. Is there anybody here who can add the A2DP profile and the AVRCP profile to the Diva Gem?
OR
2. Is there somebody who can break the limitation on the Nokia 12W that precludes it from being able to accept an A2DP proile and use an AVRCP profile from a "foriegn" device?

I am willing to bet that there are others who would like to be able to do this with the 12W.

Thanks for any advice.

Put your headset in pairing mode. Go to the Comm Manager on the KJam. Hit MENU on the bottom right hand side. Choose BLUETOOTH SETTINGS. Choose DEVICES. Now choose NEW PARTERSHIP. Both devices should discover each other and you should be prompted for the security code. Most devices use "0000".
