Handsfree Car Kit and GPS

---

I am trying to work out the best way to set up the following in my car:

1 ) GPS on my Exec using bluetooth and TomTom 5.2
2 ) Bluetooth handsfree phone use using Motorola Razor
3 ) Car mount kit with charger.

I intend to have all of the above properly installed so no loose wires and mess.

From everything I have picked up from others the Brodit is the best solution for a mounting kit, so i will definately order that.

My dilema is I do not use the exec as a phone as it is just not pratical for that, so whilst i really like the idea of the Parrot CK 3300 I am not sure if it will pair with my Razor to use as a phone and the Exec for bluetooth GPS operation at the same time. If this is possible then it makes life easy. On the rare occaison that is use the Exec as a phone in the car it's own handsfree is pretty good any way. I also understand that the Parrot GPS uses the Exec speakers rather than the Car radio for the spoken directions so there is not need to have it access the car sound system.

The other alternative is to get the Parrot CK3100 for the handsfree car GSM bit , buy TT 5.2 then find a separate GPS receiver.

Does anyone either have experince of doing this or and idea of the best way.

Any suggestions here will be greatfully received.

I've paired my CK3300 before with my XDA Exec and a Nokia 6600.

Used the XDA for GPS and the Nokia for handsfree.

When you pair the XDA with the CK3300 you get the list of devices on the Parrot and you get handsfree and serial port - You will only want to pair the serial port part of it. Just pair your RAZR as you would with a regular headset and it should all work.

Good luck!

Thanks for the quick reply. That is very encouraging to hear. It really simplifies things if i can go down that route. I will order the bits on Monday, unless anyone has a better solution for this. Also can you confirm if the GPS spounds come throught he Exec speakers rather than the Car stereo?

Do you have any other advice about this?

Yes the GPS sounds come through the exec and not the car kit.

Just trying to think if there is anything else you need to be aware of.......

It all should be pretty easy to be honest - just make sure when pairing the device that you use the advanced settings and choose pair with a windows ce device.
