Default Bluetooth Car Kit AND Bluetooth GPS - XDA II

Please excuse me ignorance on this. I wish to install a BT Car Kit soon and later a BT GPS both for use in conjunction with my XDA II. Can anyone confirm that I can use BOTH devices in my car with the XDA II?

A colleague tells me that to have both devices working with the XDA II via Bluetooth will probably not work. If he is right I will go BT Car kit and wired GPS.

Plus does anyone have experience of the Original Parrot DriveBlue Bluetooth Car Kit (Just plugs into the cigar lighter socket no installation required (easily moved from car to car) , working in conjunction with the XDA II? Any advice or experience appreciated. Thanks, Steve

i sugest that you look around in the xda2 forum to see which
bluetooth devices people have gotten to work with the xda2
my guess is that many xda2 owners dont look much in this forum
since xda2 is pretty new
and most posts here are aboub accessories for the xda1
hhhmm ok i may be a jerk but i'm a jedi jerk like my father was before me
BTW "I can't use a skeleton arm with that"

Default bt in your car

Steve, I have been using my Jabra BT200 and TomTom BT GPS together in my car without problems (after using Towa's fix). Have read that others have used many different combinations of handsfree & gps thru bt. Hope this helps!

Chop, thanks for this. Please excuse my ignorance but a more learned colleague has asked me to ask if Towa's fix (to sort out the GPS/BT problem) is a software patch or a firmware fix? Do you know the answer to this? Many thanks for your help. Steve

Here are the links, I'm not a 'techie', I just know that these BT tools transformed my infuriatingly unconnectable XDA II into one that lived up to all the promises!

I found this well worth a paypal donation. Hope this helps you out!
Towa rocks!

Default Bluetooth car kit Sony errikson hcb-30 + bluetooth GPS



Hello every tis is my first post- :mrgreen:

Has any one tried this combination this yet? Will the spoken instructions of the GPS software ( Tomtom , Alturion etc ) that recieves signals from the bluetooth reciever be heard over the car kit "hands free" speaker from the Sony Erikkson Hcb-30 carkit?

Second question , Can I dial from the Sony Erikkson Hcb-30 carkit?

Thanks fo the reply!
