XDA2 Car Kit sound output !!???!??!?!

[shawnthecableguy]

Anyone figured out the patch,fix,mod to get the sound from the xda2 (gps prompts) to output thru the car kit speaker, or the radio output???

Anyone with the original xda2 car kit will know what I am talking about.

:shock:

 

[nickety]

When you say "original Xda2 carkit", do you mean an official one from O2?

If so, where did you get it from? I've been looking everywhere and can't find a single retailer (including O2 themselves) who are already selling it! Can it be ordered online?

(Sorry this didn't answer your question).

i got the official carkit

and the latest rom 1.66.00WWE

sound is perfect through the speakers

maybe you need to upgrade

 

[shawnthecableguy]

I am in australia and it is the original kit from O2. The sound is perfect thru the speaker, but it is only when in a call....no other sounds come thru the car kit speaker, just the phone call. I would like to have all of the audio output thru the car kit speaker.

 

[shawnthecableguy]

I cant believe that no one here has a solution for this problem???

 

[shawnthecableguy]

Still no one has this same problem??

carkit, navigation and sound

dear shawnthecableguy, baught the expansys carkit pro, installed as requested and as i understand we share the same problem, only sounds of the telephone during calls are emitted throgh the carkit speakers, other sounds (navigation guideness, pda and even incoming call rings) are not, the problem as i understand is in the heandsfre_dll.dll file (in windows directory), we need to change it with a former rom version

 

[shawnthecableguy]

Thanks for the reply... I will do some research and let you know what the outcome is. Let me know if you find a replacement dll that works.

Thanks

Have you any pics of this car kit.
What's in the box?
The car kit.
Connection for antenna, radio, power and fix for the kit?

 

[shawnthecableguy]

Any luck with sound output?

Has anyone had any luck with this?? :?:

Shawn, what is your rom version?
Akira mentioned (when I look at it; DID he?) he has both gsm and pda sound thru the kit with rom 1.66.00WWE

Some feedback on my new XDA2 carkit I bought from www.telido.de for 137 euro. It indeed looks like the Expansys kit.

Works flawlessly.
Some remarks:
1. Ring-tone is via PDA speaker
2. Phone sounde (after call acceptance) is via carkit speaker
3. PDA sounce (like TomTom directions) is via PDA speaker
4. audio mute (to ground in a call) / acc-out (to 12v in a call) only functions AFTER call acceptance

Since the T-Mobile kit does have these function the correct way, It should be possible to fix this in s/w . . . .

Microfone is very good directive.
Speaker is clear an loud

All in all i am happy especially since I paid 137 euro . . . .

 

[shawnthecableguy]

I am using the beta t- mobile rom, but have tried the asia rom as well and it didnt make any difference.

 

[edsub]

@shawnthecableguy:
WHAT beta?
The 1.72 T-Mobile?
Tried the 1.72 iMate (non-beta)?
I have the 1.60 T-Mobile (was on the device, but can be downloaden from T-Mobile NL)

The thing is that with the official T-Mobile MDAII casrkit, people claim to get all audio thru the carkit speaker.
SO: AFAIK both the T-Mobile MDAII carkit and my (Expansys like) XDAII carkit only use the cradle-like connector which only have few wires for putting thru audio.
In other words: IF this works with the T-Mobile MDA carkit, it should also work with the XDAII carkit. It HAS to be in software, ie. the ROM

Sound on external speaker (a solution)

I also came across the no-sound-on-external-speaker-problem bottom connector when using the bottom connector.

My configuration:

ROM 1.60.00GER, Radio 1.06.01
CAR_ON on ground or not connected at all
rings, sounds only on internal speaker, only phone calls on external speaker

I get all sounds (incl. ring, mp3, ...) through the bottom connector if there is something plugged into the headset connector!

 

[edsub]

All sound via bottom when headset is plugged is, sounds promising.
Gonna try that in some minutes as I drive home . . .

 

[edsub]

errrr...
No luck.
I tried the headphone connector of my carkit.
That obviously doesnt make any sense: This connector gets its signal from the flat connector too . . . .

Still looking for a good software version (I read that it maybe is in handsfre.dll)

solution in ROM ?

Hi all,
i've read all the posts 'bout this and still have a litle doubt in my mind. Has anyone tested if v.1.72 works around the "in-call only" sound problem ?

I just received my expansys car kit pro but still not installed, maybe tomorrow if i have the chance. As i'm using tom tom i am interested in a solution to this "flaw"....

btw my specs are:
ROM: 1.72.00WWE (from i-mate )
radio: 1.14.00
protocol: 1337.24
extRom:1.72.126

 

[igadget]

no luck....

Unfortunately, after a sleepless night installing the kit and half a day in toyota repair shop replacing the car battery, i had no luck. I got stuck with the same "in-call" only sound problem through the speakers....

@Omega77:
what do you mean all sound with something plugged in at headset ?? if a connect something to the xda headset connector i'll get sound through the car kit ?

 

[igadget]

PS

ups.....almost forgot...

does anyone know who is the manufacturer of the car kit pro sold by Expansys ?
Mine has a sticker and i presume its a company called E-Lead but i can't find them on the net....


maybe we could contact them in Thay and try to get some answers...
