BT voice commands with TomTom?

[keithwwalker]

Is it possible to send voice commands from TOM TOM to a bluetooth enabled device?

What are the settings? I can get the voice commands to work with my Jabra headset but not my receiver...

I just got a nifty car receiver that takes A2DP music and phone calls. GPS routing over BT would complete it!

I did some more testing.

It seems that the tomtom signal comes over the A2DP bluetooth signal.

So on my car stereo, the tomtom commands will come through, only if I have the stereo on bluetooth mode. Not the best if you wish to listen to the radio.

Is there a way to force the tomtom commands over the HCP (Hands Free Profile)? That way the voice commands will be forced to the car stereo and interrupt radio play.

there used to be a registry patch or program that peeps used to use to allow them to listen to music through the BT headset. This was before A2DP existed hence the need, most peeps dismissed it because it was mono and poor quality audio (like listening to your music over a phone line,) but I have a feeling it is exactly what you are looking for !

I have downloaded a couple of programs, but they don't seem to work.

What is needed is some sort of program where you can pick the software to rout the audio either to a2dp or HFP...

the software im thinking of gave the choice of routing ALL system audio (including music) via headset profile bluetooth or not, at your choice !! trust me, it is what your looking for.

Problem is, most of those programs are/were pre WM5 and don't work with WM6, BTaudionav is an example. Regardless, if you come up with a software title, let me know.

you should search in the forum for the universal, that is where I would have seen it, as that is the phone I had at the time, It shipped with WM5 but was a long time coming with a rom that supported A2DP, in the mean time these programs popped up !

I am going to read through the entire thread, but the line of code that says:
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000000
just turns off the A2DP; 00000001 enables.

Further, it routs all A2DP to mono.

Got through the thread, it really doesn't do what I want.

What I am trying to do is to have music port to A2DP stereo of my car receiver as normal, and have TomTom audio commands to the HFP.

That way you can play music over bluetooth, and when tomtom audio starts, it will pause music play and the tomtom command can be heard loud and clear.

As of right now here is what I can do:


TomTom audio commands via A2DP to car stereo (makes for a boring ride)
Music via A2DP to car stereo
Play both music and TomTom over A2DP, but music player is NOT interupted when a TomTom audio command comes through

I am going to search the tomtom forums, but I doubt I will have any luck there.

I see what your trying to do, and it is true there is nothing that quite manages it, the problem is that tomtom would have to be written or modified to use HFP when the commands are played, the best you could hope for is to reduce the volume of your audio to ie 70% and leave tomtom at 100%, this will make the tomtom commands really standout when they are played.

[keithwwalker]

That would be a good compromise, thanks.

fwiw, I have the question into tomtom support, but doubt if those monkeys can do anything...

I hope you get a result, but as you already know, their support is useless

I have read a bit about mort script. I have to learn more, and perhaps there might be a way...

Try Teksoft BlueMusic, this routes all audio to headset.
I used to use it with Skype on the Athena, till I found Fring.
