Guest andyhud Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 Ok, after seeing paul's thread on his brodit holder it reminded me to post this question.. ok.. 2 questions 1. On the back of the Tytn/hermes/m3100 is an external aerial connector (covered by a rubber 'bung'). Does this therefore mean there is or will be an official hard wireable car kit for the device? 2. If not, ok... thats fair enough.. but can anyone recommend a bluetooth car kit that will work with the phone? I'd rather pay more and have one that supports voice dialing, stereo muting when the phone rings, automatic answer and even display the caller ID on it... I'm sure these devices exist, but never having used (successfully) a bluetooth carkit with a WM5 device... I'm a bit unsure... any thoughts on either question as always... appreciated Cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest matho Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 The CK3300 was the car kit I was looking at for my M3100 (although its running the HTC TyTn Rom). Just want to be sure it fully works and plus my TomTom 5.21 will work with the GPS receiver! I quite like the look of this: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8917.htm It just seems like a cleaner and easier installation than having lots of bits around the car... It doesn't do GPS, but you can pick up a bluetooth GPS receiver from about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re the car kit - GPSfourless have emailed me to say that they will be selling a car mount for the Hermes similar to this (the iMate K-Jam version) http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=3227 within a few weeks. I like this one as it is not expensive, has a 12v DC out to charge your GPS unit, is simple to fit and my combination of the K-Jam, Sony Bluetooth headset, bluetooth GPS unit and TomTom worked like a dream.

Guest bryson Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hi Guys, On the thread topic, we have done a few really succesful installs of the HTC TyTn (Vario II and Orange 3100 etc) with parrot kits recently, customers got the Parrot LS3200 with the colour LCD display and allied that set up with the Brodit Molex Holders (Brodit codes 971690 or 971691) that allow hardwiring and powering of a BT GPS unit. All the contacts sync'd fine, mutes the stereo as always with parrot kits, voice dialing is fine, and tomtom & Destinator 6 etc also worked perfectly too so no issue with the BT stack. Hope that helps everyone a little, heres a link to the Parrot range of kits available so you can have a read up etc, http://www.dsldevelopments.com/Parrot/Parrot_Car_Kit.asp Thanks all, Bryson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this combination and have to say the bluetooth connection is flakey at best. Using the Tytn rom it was a waste of time, always disconnecting, sometimes the phonebook transferred sometimes not the spinning circle visible all the time, calls sometimes worked sometimes didnt, causeds more lack of concentration on the road then not having a car kit. I changed my rom to the imate jasjam rom and things have improved but its still unreliable. I have just installed a powered brodit kit as i have a feeling keeping the device powered and alive will solve my problems, will be testing over the next few days Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bryson Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 hi chrissyboy6969, Indeed, get your device on permanent power as a must, and in settings change the lock settings if you have them enable to a longer period, try 24 hours, also have the power settings/advance/on external power - leave unticked. It may be your TyTn is going to sleep and killing the BT connection. I havent suffered any of these issues I have to say even without making the changes above, but they may help you get yours settled in and running well. Hope that helps, Bryson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
