Has any one been successful in transferring their Phone book via bluetooth to the car's phone book? If so, can you please let me know how?
I have an Acura TL 2008 and it has this option but I cannot seem to transfer even one single contact via bluetooth to the car let alone a whole phone book. I can pair perfectly and make and receive phone calls.
I am using Vp3G's WM6 3.0 version and I have Tmobile USA with unlimited internet. For radio, I am using the latest 1.51.
Is it the limitation of the Hermes or limitation of the Bluetooth in the Hermes?
Thanks.

It's definitely not a limitation of the Hermes... I can upload my contacts to car set via Bluetooth. I don't have an Acura though... sorry.

If you right click a contact, do you get the option to send via bluetooth? I do not and am wondering if something needs to be set or turned on.
Thanks.
Use the Jeyo bluetooth software. It will most likely transfer all your stuff to your car with no problems.

It will do SMS messages too. You can even set it to use a different MAPI store such as email. Although there is a character limit that makes it kind of useless.
I have an Audi with MMI and it transfers fine, there is a short delay though after starting it up till the phonebook is available
Bluetooth & Infiniti
I wonder if anyone has had any experience with this utility and a 2007 Infiniti G35x that has the nav / tech package. I can pair my HTC TyTN just fine and use the basic bluetooth functions. I can even send one contact entry at a time but haven't figured out how to send my entire phonebook. I wonder if this app will help.
Anyone have any experience with this phone / car combo?
Thanks everyone for the jetware info. I will give it a shot and reply.

I bet it is a setting issue for the Acura. The Ford Sync system will ask, "Do you want to load phonebook?" right after it pairs...
It works - JETware Mobile Software
Upon suggestion from 'Diaftia' in this thread (THANK YOU!) I downloaded Hands-free Extension from JETware and installed it on my HTC TyTN. I then sat in my car and through the phonebook 'send' mode of the applet, I chose to send all 354 contact records to my car's phonebook via the bluetooth pairing. The car immediate showed 'downloading' at the appropriate time and viola! They were there.
I need to play with it some more to see if I can get more than the first phone number field to download. The Hands-free Extension app does allow you to pick only certain categorized phone records to be sent.
I've since purchased the utility and will explore more of its features! So far, so great! I've been looking for this solution for quite sometime!

David

David,
I installed the software but did not see a Send option. I was able to select the categories on contacts that I wanted for the phonebook.
Where was the Send option? In the Jetware software or your car?
Thanks.
shamim
In the Extension software from the menu, go to phonebook options. In phonebook options select the categories that you wish to send to the phone. Press the 'menu' soft key option again. You will see 5 options, of which 'send contacts' is one of them. You will then get another set of options and finally a confirmation before it sends the records. Make sure your car or receiving device is set to receive before you finalize the send process.

Well, I have experienced exactly the same problem with my Pioneer, I am able to send one by one contact to the car but I am not able to send the entire phonebook at once. When I try to do that then the bluetooth connection is getting disconnected and that is it. I wonder if that is a problem with the bluetooth driver,
I had a heck of a problem with importing to my new Audi A4 Pervertable, and worse it kept loosing connectivity then re-establisign it (mid song no less). Eventually fixed with BT Radio 1.50, (tried everything before it).
I don't know whether this is relevant or not. This is how I do it.
I have a Garmin Nuvi 610. When pairing the device with my Hermes all I have to do is make sure comm port service is enabled in the hermes bluetooth utility when asked for service type. If it's not enabled then there won't be any sharing of phonebook between them.

I currently use the JetWare Mobile extension ver 1.31 that I updated several days ago and now I can use Voice Command via bluetooth hear and give commands through the car stereo system.
I can also hear announcements of calls, emails via the stereo system. Sorry got off subject...
With this software I'm pretty sure that you will be able to upload your address book. I had no problem with 275+ contacts....
They have a free trial you could try to ensure that it works for you, but it's not free...
If memory serves me think it was about $15, well worth it if your a heavy BT user.

Jac,
Thanks for the info. I already gave jetware a shot but it did not work for me. I do not get the "Send" option on my contacts or phonebook through Jetware or Outlook contacts on the TyTN. I am using Radio 1.51 and Jetware extension 1.31. If I got the Send option, it would work. For Voice command 1.6, do you use the option 'use bluetooth when available" or the option "use bluetooth only".
Thanks for being helpful.

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you...
I know in my case, it took me a couple times to figure out how to upload the the contacts to the car stereo using Jetware...
First time was: I did not go into... Hand-free Setting\Menu\Advanced Options\ And check off Phonebooks.
Second time was: I did not leave the car stereo phonebook settings "waiting to accept data" before I sent all the contacts from my PDA.
Any way back to your last question "About VoiceCommand 1.6" I use the setting "Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free only"....
Thanks,
Good luck on your quest...
Has anyone had any luck with using their Hermes in a Ford, using their 'Advanced Bluetooth' car kit?
I have paired my MDA Vario II, running Schaps 3.60 WM6, with my new Ford Focus. This shows up as 'Ford Audio' on my phone. Incoming calls are now routed through the car stereo, and I can access my voice tags for outgoing calls by saying 'Mobile, Name'. So far so good!
The issue though, is with the Sim Access Protocol (SAP) routine. I have managed to access the phone contacts list just once, and that was after a wait of over 30 mins. I have never seen the list of recent or dialled calls. So all incoming calls show as just raw numbers, rather than names.
I have ensured that I transferred my main contacts to my Sim Card. I made sure that SAP was selected. I even downloaded and installed the Jetware SAP enhancement program. All to no avail.
Has anyone got SAP running, speedily, with a car kit?
Dont kno how much use this is going to be, but try using the rom Black Majic by JasJamming.
That is the only rom ive ever got to work properly with my Parrot 3200LS Car Kit.
I have a Focus ST with the advanced bluetooth car kit and have been able to access my contacts list when using Sleuth's ROM - but not the recent call list etc. I did not need to move my contacts to the SIM to get that though.
I've recently switched to FunKey's 3.62 ROM and while the car kit works for audio etc. I no longer get the contacts - having said that I haven't installed the BT SAP cab so no real surprises there.
To be honest I'm just glad the car kit works for audio - I've always had problems with the Tytn and car kits so it's very nice that it works at all
Thanks, jaso2005 and forza, for your comments. I think that WM6 has got a way to go to catch up even with Symbian, as far as car kits and SAP is concerned.
From your posts, it would seem that some ROMs are getting there.
I see that Shap's latest (4.00 Beta 2) contains the latest SAP utility and, as I am running his 3.60 ROM at the moment, I think I will wait for the 4.00 final release.
Schaps is just requesting people try his new beta ROM that has this feature.
Just throught I would add my name to the list of people having problems getting their Hermes to work with their Ford bluetooth carkit....
I've got my new s-max, but have not been able to get the phone work work with it. I can discover the car from the phone (ford audio) and pair it up. However, when I go to make a call, the phone does not think there is a carkit present. Also, if I go to the carkit setting on the ford computer it says it can't see a phone connected.
Hissing Syd & Forza, did you do anything special to get yours to work with the advance bluetooth? I've tried a couple of different ROMs and am now running Schaps 3.6a (have also tried 4)
thx

I had the same problem with mine initially. The handbook says that you merely have to pair the phone, which you have done. Not true - you have to physicaly make your Hermes the 'Active Phone'. First, select Phone. Then press Menu. Then scroll to Select Active Phone, let it find your Hermes, select it, and it should work.
The selection of Active Phone is covered later in the handbook. It should be at the start.
Good luck!
Syd,
you'll love this, but the dealer forgot to put the bluetooth manual in the glove box. (I'm waiting for it come come through...) In the mean time, any chance of giving me some instructions on how to setup an active phone?
Thx
caspartfg - Have you activated the Bluetooth SAP?
In Schaps latest rom's 3.60a and 4.00 Beta this is in Programs > System Tools > SAP Settings
yes, I have tried with the SAP setting turned on and off. The problem I have is that the car cannot see the phone, even though it is paired.
Also, the phone does not attempt to make use of the handsfree when I make a call.
Thank you all for your suggested
C.
Make sure you have ticked the option to make the phone discoverable (Start/Settings/Connections/Bluetooth - Mode tab; "Make this device visible to other devices")
Hissing Syd is spot on - you do have to select it after the pairing. When I do mine, I delete any existing pairings on both the car and the phone. Soft reset the phone, turn the car radio off and then on. Then (with the radio switched on) search for bluetooth devices on the phone, pair with the "Ford Audio" service. Turn the radio off and then on, press Phone, press Menu, scroll to Select Active phone and press the centre button on Phone1. It can take a few minutes to finally pair up, but it does get there in the end!
I've turned on SAP on the FunKey ROM but still don't get contacts etc. coming through on the car kit - but as I said I'm not that bothered to be honest!

Thank all, just to let you know the phone is working with the carkit.
I've been able to make / receive calls. I have also been able to browse the contact list on my phone via the info on my convers+ dash. Also when calls come in, they show the name of the caller.
I'll do some more testing when I get the manual through, but all of the functions the carkit provides seem to be supported. I've also been able to make voice dialiing features of the car..
I love the fact you can talk to the ford and instruct it around the phone, radio, climate control, etc....... feels like a middle age version of knight rider.....
Thx all

Having the same problem with an Orbit (Artemis)
caspartfg,
I'm having exactly the same problem with my Artiemis - have put something in that Forum but no reply yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340609
Also - what Bluetooth manual ! The standard mondeo manual has some info but not much. Am I missing the bluetooth manual as well?
jftilbury,
Took quite a bit of fiddling around, but got there in the end....
Which head-unit do you have? - Mine is the Sony version that comes with the new s-max titanium.
To answer your specific questions:
1) yes, there was a separate bluetooth manual. I had to ring the dealer and he posted me a copy
2) The thing the car manual didn't tell me about was that there is a second step to the pairing of the phone in which you need to active the phone in the head unit.
i) make sure the phone is discoverable in bluetooth
ii) pair the phone with head unit as you described above.
iii) select the phone setting on the head unit
iv) press 'menu' (I think) and then in one of the options you can set the phone to active
after that, it all worked a treat for me..... Let me know if this works for you. If my instructions are dodgy, I'll double check
Spot on !
Excellent, that worked a treat. I also have the Sony CD unit, but in the Mondeo, and it is now phoning anyone that will pick up the phone.
The phone book is now going across OK. My problem is that as my company's entire phone book gets sync'ed onto the XDA I now have around 500 numbers on the car menu making it unusable. Never mind, the phone works which is the main thing.
Voice recognition next...
Thanks for your help, I'll point the other thread here as well.

I'm pleased that we helped solve your problem. My question to you, which ROM are you using? I still have problems with uploading the phone book to the Sony unit with my Schaps 3.60a ROM.
ROM version
I am using the standard ROM downloaded from the O2 support site at:
http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
This sends the download to the HTC site, with the file name:
RUU_Artemis_O2_UK_3.4.206.2_4.1.13.28_02.67.90_Ship.exe
The numbers I can find are:
CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
ROM version: 3.4.206.2 WWE
ROM date: 4/18/07
Radio version: 02.67.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.28
ExtROM 3.4.206.101
Not sure if this helps as it is for the Artemis.

I am using Schaps 3.6a... The extra piece I did was to go into the advanced config, bluetooth tab and turn on OBEX. You should also make sure Remote SIM access is turned on in the SAP application.
Hope this helps, worked for me......
C.
Mine in fact worked too well - sending across all 500 numbers my company sync's onto my handset, making the phonebook unusable on the car.
However a Ford forum put me onto this bit of code:
http://www.jetwaremobile.com/
which does exactly what I want allowing me to create a category of people I want to appear in the car phonebook and away we go.

Thanks very much for that crucial bit of info. Since I started this thread, I have changed ROM to RUU_Hermes_TMO_UK_3.60.110.4_6275_1.50.00.00_108_Ship.exe and, by enabling OBEX, it all works a treat.
Anyone else having bluetooth problems or is this operator error?
I can switch bluetooth on, make my handset visible, pair with other devices and receive files from other handsets, however when I try to send anything, I can't connect to paired devices and bluetooth hangs meaning I have to switch my handset off and on.
I was using bluetooh last night and all was ok
but unlike my last phone c902 the bluetooth is on a timer then turns off visibility
Working fine for me. Paired up my bluetooth headset and will still be working hours later even if I haven't interacted between them.
It's strange, devices show as paired but not connected and I can't make them connect.
Have been able to use BT for file transfer between my Desire and laptop and HD2. Also connected to my Plantronics BT headset. I think you need to have an appropriate BT driver for some devices like BT keyboards.
I too am having minor issues.
The wife's hands free kit (Parrot CK3000 evo) in the car supports voice dialling by sending contacts to it and then recording a tag which is associated with the contact. This way the kit can do the voice dialling for handsets that don't support it.
For some reason the Desire refuses to send contacts to the hands free kit claiming it doesn't support the correct bluetooth profiles. This obviously isn't the case as all the other phones we have tried work perfectly with the CK3000.
Only a minor issue, as in my car which has the CK3300 everything works fine (including syncing the phonebook to the car kit). It's more of a problem for the wife though, as she wants to upgrade to the Desire on Saturday when her contract is up for renewal but at the minute won't be able to voice dial from the car.
Dae.
Strange. I'll try connceting to my laptop later.
I too am having difficulty sending files over bluetooth. I can accept files fine, from any source, yet cannot send from my HTC Desire. First the notification says complete, but 0 files sent. Then going inside it shows it has failed. And then clicking it and retrying shows Unknown file. What's going on??
Tried sending to two mobile phones, and a Windows 7 laptop. Easily works the other way around. Also, sometimes I can't turn my bluetooth off properly, it just crashes the chip while turning off and can't turn it on or off until I reboot. Thought it might be Advanced Task Killer, but tried the same thing immediately after a reboot and still can't send files. Any ideas?
still no closer to solving this, I think it may be going back tomorrow.
I'm also having problems...
I have the Parrot CK3200 LS-COLOR and it connects to the phone ok, or vice versa and then it always falls over when trying to sync the contacts... It shows my facebook profile pic and then it fails.
If I dial a contact through the phone, or receive a call, it comes out fine through the speakers.
So I'm wondering if it's something to do with the way the the desire handles contacts.
Sorry if there's been a resolution to this, I did search first
me to also having the same problems. spent 4 hours on google last night and still no closer.
Weird as it might sound, I had no issues connectiong to car stereo. But when I tried to pair it with friends mobile, SonyEricsson c902 - it crashed!
I was trying to send a picture file I have downloaded using bluetooth.
Also, can anyone tell me how to send a mp3 file I have downloaded off the internet to another mobile using bluetooth?
Thanks
Have you enabled FTP under Bluetooth advanced settings? I have no problem transfering files to and from PC or other mobile phone. Also make sure the device is dicroverable and paired.
I had a similar problem which I wrote to HTC about: I paired and connected the Desire with my bluetooth car head unit and it works fine for phone & audio, but it will not auto connect each time I get in the car and I have to go through the pairing process and enter a code each time. Voice dialling also doesn't work. My previous handset (Touch HD) connected automatically if the bluetooth was on so I don't think it's a problem with the head unit. Someone suggested it might be due to an old bluetooth protocol on the head unit (I'd like to avoid having to replace it if possible).
i managed to send a file to another htc desire today, last time i tried, i admit i didn't enable the ftp service, however I could not send via bluetooth to a nokia n96 but to be fair, my desire probably just didn't want anything to do with it . but on a serious note I cant seem to get it to send to my windows 7 x64 disto.

I previously owned the Evo and when I paired the bluetooth in my car with the phone, it immediately asked for permission to access the phonebook on the phone via PBAP (Phonebook Access Profile - a Bluetooth standard profile). This way the handset phonebook was accessible from the display on my car and also provided the information for Caller ID for contacts that existed in my address book.
I noticed when I paired the Epic with the car that the same thing didn't occur. When I try to access the handset phonebook from my car, it shows an entry for "MyInfo" and that is it. None of my other contacts are listed.
The question is whether there is a setting somewhere to allow this, or is the PBAP profile not available? In the technical specs for the phone, the PBA is listed as a profile for Bluetooth.
Same thing is happening to me. I have Ford Sync in an 08 Sable and it downloaded the phone book but when I try to voice dial it keeps asking me about "call MyInfo." Like that is the only listing there is. I am also having problems with the voice dialing on the phone itself (and not thru bluetooth), and with trying to record a memo. I keep getting the "try again" screen or "nothing is heard" notice. It's like the microphone is turned off. Anyone else having these problems? Thanks
bluetooth voice
I notice that there is no 'handsfree' profile available for bluetooth devices in the epic. With my former windoze phone, I did not have access to voice features from a bluetooth device until I applied a 'handsfree' profile rather than the standard 'headset' profile.
Does anyone know whether this is going to be fixed anytime soon? I really want the ability to press the button on my bluetooth, thereby activating voice dial and then voice dialing right from the bluetooth device rather than from the phone. I do not like physically handling the phone at all while in the car.

This is an issue with Ford Sync. It intercepts all interaction with the phone and doesn't relay any voice to the phone I believe. A feature I loved, but with 2.2 and 3.0 will become outdated quickly (I'd like to be able to issue Voice Actions over bluetooth for sending text messages and changing pandora stations).
Voice dialing on my '10 Fusion and Phonebook downloading works perfectly fine.

I second that question. Sprint store tech says android 2.2 is suppose to fix that and everything else (exchange setting to allow attachment download) We'll see
Same issue with BMW and Epic
I'm having this issue as well, exactly like the original poster described, but in a 2010 BMW 3-series with iDrive. This is a huge disappointment coming from an EVO and iPhone before that. Hopefully this issue will be resolved quickly or the phone might have to go back. I can deal with everything else, including the inexplicable lack of ability to move messages between folders in Exchange, but this is crucial as I spend a lot of time in my car. Ugh.
Any help?
Any help on this issue? It really is a deal-breaker for me, as I bet it is for many others.
Fixed with the maintenance update?
So, here is an update on the situation. Yesterday I applied the Epic maintenance update that was just released. Today I was in the car when I received a call. Previously, my car would just show the phone number because it couldn't read the phone book on the phone, but today it showed the name and phone number. So I went into the "handset phonebook" option on my car, and it was able to see all of my Exchange contacts in the phone, something that I wasn't able to do previously.
It appears that this might've been addressed with the latest update, although the release notes (as far as I know) don't make any mention of it.
This happened to me the first time I synced my phone to a 2009 Mini Cooper S Works (similar to the BMW systems). All I got was "My Info". I was bummed out about it, since I'm in the market for a new car soon and I really liked the Cooper. I paired it to my girlfriend's VW Tiguan. Synced fast and easy and everything worked perfectly. So I was thinking, OK, stuck with a GTI then. Out of curiostity, I tried syncing it again to the Mini, and voila! Everything worked perfectly. It wasn't fixed by the DI07 update, this worked before I installed the update.
To all those having this issue, try syncing again. There wasn't anything that popped up on the phone or anything. I literally changed nothing, just retried it and it worked.
I solved Samsung Xcover (S5690, Android 2.3.6) connection to a carkit on Renault Laguna 3.
Steps used:
1. I root phone;
2. I used ES File Explorer to access system files. In ES File Explorer settings I give root privileges.
3. I installed from Google Play program “Mount / system (rw / ro)” (free).
4. I run Mount/system (rw / ro) and I enabled "mount r/w". He is active several seconds, so it goes quickly to ES File Explorer.
5. I open ES File Explorer: --- / system / app /. I look for Bluetooth.apk and I renamed to bluetooth.apk.bak.
6. File bluetoothpbap ...... . apk does not start at all.
The biggest surprise was that the car recognizes the phone, contacts, media, everything.
I hope to work on other samsung phones (I think it's a general problem).
I just picked up a my new Note II yesterday, have done nothing to it except install the latest update. This thing is STOCK. My issue is with the Bluetooth connection in my car. I have a 2009 BMW with IDrive which has the Bluetooth integration built in to it. My HD-2, Sensation, GNexus, original Note all connect very nicely to the Bluetooth but my Note II is struggling. I paired it yesterday on the way home from the AT&T store and it worked fine. When prompted to allow the phone book during my initial pairing I checked the box "Don't ask me again" and clicked "Yes", same thing I've done on all my other phones. This morning however it would continue to drop out. It would connect for 15-20 seconds and I would see the little icon that tells me the phone is transferring the contacts then it would simply drop out. 15 -20 seconds later it would recycle and do the same thing again. When I was looking at the contact list on my car's screen it was showing AT&T address book which I do not use (it was just one contact, "something" AT&T) and in fact froze everything AT&T I could through the settings menu . I then deleted the phone from the car's menu and repaired it to the IDrive but this time I said no to allow the phone book. It was not dropping the connection but was constantly trying to obtain the contact data based on the icon on my car's screen. Then all of sudden I received an alert stating an "SOS Call System Failure", my car has a built in SOS function like Onstar....I deleted the phone again and the warning in my IDrive regarding the SOS failure went away.
I searched the BMW forums and found other people with this problem but these were from the '07-'08 time frames and that fix was software to the car. The software in my car is updated and so is the B/T profiles I also found a thread here regarding a similar issue but there was no resolution. Has anyone else had this experience with the Note II? I know enough to get myself in trouble but not enough to figure this out. Is it possible the Bluetooth in the phone only wants to transmit the AT&T address book vs. the Google contacts?? I guess it could be the software in the car but my other Note, whether running stock or CM 9/10 ran flawlessly with regards to the Bluetooth.
Weird, yesterday it's fine and today not so much. Did the last software update have anything in it that affected the B/T?
Any insight would be much appreciated, thanks.
UPDATE-appears my car cannot handle a Bluetooth profile of 4.0. All my previous phones were no higher than 3.0. Hoping BMW will offer a software update at some point but in the mean time if I go with a custom ROM will they probably keep the Bluetooth profile the same as stock or is that something they change??
