Mts TB has CoPilot, I can try to see what that does BT wise for directions?

Doh! Which means I do, as we use the same gayTunes account

Co pilot voice prompts play over BT from iPhone

This works well actually. Phone works independantly of the receiver. Fades the music out for a call which recognised the Nokia car kit as normal.

Only thing is the controller and screen for Harmon Kardon are now redundant. So all control is by the phone touch screen which is fiddly.

But for those with a basic modulator and a Bluetooth compatable music player this is handy.

...although I've just noticed it looks like you have to go to bt settings and conect to the receiver each time the ignition is turned on.

An update.

This particular product is .... Shit. Actually. it degraded in performance and kept dropping the connection to the point it was useless.

But....While the concept is ideal, and the phone works with two seperate blutooth devices,  I think it would be better connected to the 3.5mm Jack input in the HK modulator, as these are available after a quick Google, that way I can keep the ipod and it's control as well.

So, is it likely that a 3.5 mm Jack conectiing bt reciever will work without its own power source? Plug and play type of thing...?

Eh? Can you clarify, as despite reading that about 5 times, I couldn't get what you were intending.

Remember, I'm just the stupid kid, so simple words

3.5mm from phone to HK 3.5mm?

Not sure how phone calls will be handled - I guess a pop-up on screen asking which device (headphones (3.5mm), Nokia etc)

[TheBoy]

And how does the HK cope with a signal on gayPod adapter and on 3.5mm?

[chrisgixer]

Phone works fine. Hk works fine. It's just the adaptor is shite.

But I have established I prefer the hk gaypad control for general use. So the iPod is going back in in place of the bt reviewer.

I'm now looking at a bt receiver for the 3.5 jack aux in to hk brain. But they all need power or re charging.

Power is easily sorted... especially if the box can be buried

They will all need a power source of some description Chris, but as TD says, not really a major issue if you can bury it somewhere.

Have you looked at a Parrot BT Kit?

I wouldn't bother...

Yes I considered one of those a long while back. But the car has telematics. And  members here made me a loom and mixer to blend in the two phone options for the Nokia bt car kit line in.

Basically the music/tomtom/all phone noise has to go in through the Hk emulator to get  to the head unit and bose. Because, as we know, the head unit has in inputs. Other than phone in, which is mono. Apart from the mobile phone functions, which has to go to said mono input via bt car kit for the mic. Etc.

See?

[chrisgixer]

I wouldn't bother...

I wish YOU wouldn't bother. I'm not having your gay fony head unit. Ok?

[05omegav6]

I thought you'd pick up on that... I was actually referring to the Parrot suggestion, so there

[chrisgixer]

All I'm looking for the bt emulator to do, is save me plugging in the aux cable to the phone. It saves the bother and removes one of the two cables hanging out the dash. Unsightly things.

That's all it has to do. ...and not turn itself off is helpfull.

Parrot can't get music to the head unit any better than the Hk emulator. Unless I'm missing something re parrots.

The Hk gets music in. It's just not bt capable.


And tbh, the ice system in this car is modified to the point that that only TB and VXL V6 Understand it. ....I know I don't, fully.
