Does anyone know how to make mute radio from XDA.
In the connector I have not found any signal to mute the radio.
I have not any idea, how to do in the car kit.
Problem is, when I listen some radio station and somebody call me, I need to turn off the radio automaticly when I pick up the phone or when I dialing, like in real car kit.
Is in the XDA some signal to do it, or just car kit for XDA check input audio signal from the connector and when it will be some sound automaticly mute the radio?
Thanks for help.

Hello friends.
Long time after planning to build my own Car Kit, at least i orderd yesterday an original Car Kit from O2.... :roll:
Not having received it, i´ve got some questions about it. ....
I´d like to connect a GPS mouse to it and will use my TomTom-Software with it.
Wiring the GPS should not be a problem since FVH did such great reverse Engineering... (Thanks a lot for it)
My Question is now about Radio Mute / Speaker output....
I´ve got 2 input Systems at my Radio. one for Telephone and one for NavigationSystem....
Where do i connect the car kit now? I think, i can do only once of it, or?
What will happen, when i use the mute-connector for phone on radio-side? Will it stop the Radio on every output of the Tomtom? Will it only mute the radio when a call comes in?
What are you´re experiences?
Glad about every answer....
Regards
Stefan
Come on guys....
Where are your answers?
I know there are some people using the Car KIt, and i think they use the Navigation function too....
So plz geave me some tips....

Yes,
Also using the XDA carkit. I found the radio mute function very disappointing: it is triggered by a variety of events (screen tapping, navigation output, GSM basestation handover etc). Finally decided not to connect the radio mute to the car stereo.
If you have a line in port on your radio/cd, you can profit from good quality mp3 from the xda without using the mute cable. Also connect the carkit speaker, parallel to the line-in.
Radio mute
I have taken a closer look at how the radio mute works. It quiet easy, if what ever signal (beep, voice, music or what ever) is sent to the XDA speaker, it will trigger the mute signal.
The mute wire is pulled to either ground or VCC (i can´t remember which one, it´s been to long...) as long as there is audio output. When connecting it to my radio (Renault Laguna) I found it works the opposit to what you would expect: no signal--> no radio ; voice or telephone --> radio on.
SOlving this is easy, just get a small relay (make sure it power usage is low, specs can be found in the Carkit manual) and connect it to the mute signal. Use the switched contact to create an inverted signal.
Good luck,
Francois

The mute wire is also pulled as long the GPS Software of TOMTOM is active.
Any idea how to fix it?

In my case this isn´t so.
Mute turns on, when audio ouptut is from Tomtom or anything else. After this, it turns on Radio again.

GPS Software of TomTom switches Mute
I also have the same problem:
As soon as the GPS Add-On of TomTom starts, Mute of the O2 Car Kit is switched and the radio keeps silent until the GPS Add-On is terminated.
Any idea how to solve this???
Thanx,
Charlie
Looks like a faulty carkit.
I do see the problems as described, mute works correctly, even when navigating.
MAYBE this is your problem:
----------------------------------
When I put the XDA in the cradle and the GPS is switched on it looks like that the amplifier is switched on. You can hear this by listening to the noise that produced. It sounds a lot like RS-232 interferance.
I solved this by pressing the RED phone switch once or twice until you hear a beep comming from the XDA. This first legitemate sound correctly mutes the amplifier and from that moment on the carkit works like it should.
Try it and let me know,

Hello all,
Have searched forum but not found exactly my problem.
I'm running ASerg Rus v.24 ROM on my O2 XDA Diamond and I have Parrot CK3000 bluetooth car kit. Gadgets work together flawless as they should unless I use any GPS software. When I'm running any software using GPS (e.g. Navitel Navigator or PocketGForce), on incoming call the carkit rings, but when I push button on carkit to answer, it makes "bleep" sound indicating that it lost connection to Diamond, and the sound goes to handset, not thru carkit. It is obviuos that I can't hear anything and speak to handset pinned to car dashboard. I just have to say aloud to the caller that I have some problems and I will call back in few minutes... It is very annoying that I can't talk while GPS'ing.
Anybody else experienced problems like this? Any solution?
Do you get your sat nav directions through the handsfree when in use? If so how? Usually that means that the Parrot is using A2DP BT profile and not the handsfree profile, but I do not think the CK3000 supports A2DP. Have you tweaked in some way the phone or added an app so that the sat nav uses the handsfree profile? I did using BTMusic app. If you have it may have something to do with the settings on that.
No, navigation software speaks thru phone's loudspeaker, not thru car kit over BT. And PocketGForce I've mentioned above does not speak at all since it is a measurement application using GPS only for getting current speed.
I don't know, maybe I have to play with different radio versions?
A lot of weeks I have a problem, where I can't find an answer for.
A few weeks ago I bought the Sennheiser MM200 Bluetooth stereo headset. This set has an great sound quality, so I'm very happy with this headset.
I hoped that it would be possible to uses this Sennheiser headset in combination with the radio on my HTC TD. But unfortunately I haven't find an answer yet, or it's possible or not to listening radio with a Bluetooth headset on the HTC TD.
So is there anyone knows there is a workaround to let work the radio with a Bluetooth headset?
Tanks.

You cant as the wired headset is the antenna

And do you know or it's possible to use the wired headset only for the radio signal, and use my Bluetooth headset for the sound?

I have been trying to find out how to do just this.
I ride a motorbike, and have a bluetooth crash helmet with buit in speakers / mike which works a treat for answering and making calls and indeed listening to TomTom navigation instructions from my HTC Topaz.
However, I have yet found a solution to allow me to listen to the radio via bluetooth. As you have also discovered, the headset acts as an antena but then diconects the sound from the bluetooth headset when connected. I figure that there must be a way to program the phone to use the blutooth headset as the default "speaker" and the plug in headset as only the antena.
I will repost this thread in the Topaz forum too to see if anyone has a solution.
One partial solution that I have discovered is streaming radio via an internet connection. This works, although the connection stream is not always the best and of course there is a data "overhead charge" involved.

no it's not possible to have both a wired headset connected an a bluetooth
even if the wires headset is only acting as antenna

I am the happy owner of a HTC Topaz.
I ride a motorbike, and have recently bought a bluetooth crash helmet with built in speakers / mic which works a treat for answering and making calls and also for listening to TomTom navigation instructions from my HTC Topaz.
However, I have yet found a solution to allow me to listen to the built in radio via bluetooth. Because HTC requires the plug-in headset to act as an antena the radio doesnt work without it.
However when I plug in the headset, i get instant radio reception but then the sound is routed to the plug-in headset , rather thean the bluetooth speakers.
My logic tells me that there must be some way to use the plug in headset as ONLY an antena allowing the sound to be routed by deafault to the bluetooth headset. Surely this is software driven?
I am not a software Guru, but keen to learn and frustrated that there doesnt seem to be a yet obvious solution to this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Why 4 threads?
I upgraded to the Moto-X for the touchless controls as I commute to work and back on my motorbike and I was really unsatisfied with alternatives floating around to simulate touchless control.
Now when I am in my car and using my bluetooth headset the voice control works just fine, I can navigate, call and send quick messages no problem
But on my bike I use a Viper RSv-131 helmet which has bluetooth built in and I listen to local radio or music whilst I'm riding but my Moto-X does not respond when I cay Ok Google now or when I press the button on my helmet either I can answer incoming calls fine but thats it.
Does anyone else use a Moto-X on a motorcycle/motorbike or even a regular bicycle with bluetooth and do you have similar problems?
Have you tried Google>Settings>Voice>Bluetooth headset

Thanks Etcetra, I have bluetooth headset option turned on and it works using my BT headset in the car.
My gut reaction is my car headset is a regular over the ear BT headset but my helmet is like BT stereo headphones with a microphone and so I think it's a different kind of BT but I'm not an expert.
Any advice would be welcome
Check to see which profiles are connected on each device by going into Bluetooth settings and tapping the little settings icon next to the connection.
My helmet comes up as BLINK II and is ticked for phone and media audio

That's unfortunate as it suggests an incompatibility issue between the two. It should certainly work using the phone profile.
Check with the helmet maker... maybe they have a firmware update available.
Turned off media audio and just tried phone audio but still the same: (
