BT connect to headset with GPS

[ZhenMing]

Just wonder if Niki can support to have BT connection to A2DP BT Headset while using BT GPS receiver for GPS....

yes it works, although not stable when calling.
you may have to restart the bt headset a2dp. after conecting the bt gps antenna.

Do you mean that while i'm using the BT connected to GPS receiver and navigating... all the sudden a call came in... i can use the BT headset to answer the call... and the GPS will still able to track and navigating?

Thats right - at least with the sony headset and tomtom set I use. Both work well all the time

Here it works fine a Logitech bluetooth stereo headset with mic and TomTom with a keomo 16 ch gps receiver, when your call is ended it activates the mediaplayer by itself, only sh*ty thing is that the logitech headset so now and then isnt receiving 100% , but its a almost perfect combination.....

Mine works fine, either with the Moto HS820 or the A2DP Jabras. However I wouldn't ever recommend using A2DP phones whilst driving - it cab be dangerous.

Your normal one-ear devices don't tend to stop you from hearing external noises, which can be essential for safety whilst driving.

that's true... having a2dp headphone in the car is dangerous... but if it's using the normal headset with the GPS that will be great!!!!

since in spain it is forbidden to use headsets while driving, either a2dp or calls, i use a parrot mk6100 w a2dp.
when using the a2dp thru my car stereo i can connect my gps bt antenna.
when the call comes everything works fine.
but, it gets some time to go back after the call (navigator + a2dp). and it is not that smooth. it seems like that is pushing too hard to the limits of the niki.
i read the answer is to restart the conection w the a2dp.
btw, i dont have installed the voices in the navigator so the navigator doesnt interfere w the a2dp.
i can keep trying if you have some other issues.

hi,

I just boot a niki100, with orange provider in frence. i'm tryng to use a bluetouth gps antena.
both equipement are copled but when i'm launching the navigor the gps peripheric is shown bu the niki only durong approximatively 10 seconds.

I checked all configurable possible, including the verification of the alimentation rule.

i tried si antenna with anothet pda, it is working well. all tests were done without success.

someone could help me?

thank you.

try google maps
or other navigation software
should work
and check the ports btw, just in case.
sometimes they are paired but, not using the right ports may cause some problems.

bluetoouth GPs antenna issue

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried the antenna with another pda, it is working well. all tests were done with success. I don't understand whynot with the niki.

I did a complementary test, I tried the niki with another gps antenna and it is working well too.

I conclud about a compability issue between my antenna and the niki. maybe due to the bluetooth version.

is it existing a .cab to update the bluetooth driver?

thank you.

not found yet
but keep posting, i am interested too.
any news?

I use a gear4 blueye (http://www.gear4.com/product_detail.php?products_id=237) (can get one for about £20ish on ebay including postage) at the same time as using gps (a holux gpslim 240 with tomtom) in the car.

Plug it into the car stereo and can now listen to ipod music, change tracks, volume & pause+play the ipod safely.

And also make calls by tapping the button and using phone's voice dial, this further pauses any music I'm listening to whilst in call and resumes at the end of the call. It really is a super little device!

ps. if people are having any interface issues: slow hanging up etc.. after calls, then it's worth disabling whatever phone skin you have using 'Advanced Configuration'. The default skin plays much nicer with bluetooth.
