AVIC-D3 bluetooth problems!

I just installed an AVIC-D3 with the CD-BTB100 bluetooth module and I am having trouble pairing with my Cingular 8525. The cell phone is able to detect the AVIC but the AVIC cant detect the cell phone. Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Can't really get detailed since I neither have the d3 nor a bluetooth. But have you tried initiating the pair from the avic instead of the phone or vice versa.

Get rid of the pioneer bluetooth and get a parrot 3200. Pioneer's bluetooth is weak at best i have a 3200 color with my avic n3

JCcool, I heard that the PPC6700 (the predecessor to the 8525) had problems with the btb100 adapter on all the other pioneer navis, so I figured there would be problems for the 8525 / XV6800 / Titan. If you're going to stick with Pioneer bluetooth I recommend ditching the btb100 and waiting for the btb200 to come out in April/May, I think that will be a lot better in the compatibility. Otherwise, like the guy before me said, get another brand adapter.

Now that the hack is known, and we're grounding the mute wire. Does this mean the D3 won't mute when a call comes in on bluetooth?

Correct me if I'm wrong but the bluetooth adapter connection doesn't need that mute lead, so grounding the mute wire won't affect the av muting feature.

Here's what the install manual (page 10) says about the mute lead on the rca cable:

 

"If you use an equipment with mute function, connect that

equipment to the Audio Mute lead. If not, keep the Audio Mute

lead free of any connections."

 

The bluetooth adapter doesn't need that audio mute lead though since it uses the IP-BUS connection, so no it won't affect that muting feature.

That's the info I was looking for, but didn't have a manual :D

the bluetooth piece you are using is not 100% compatable with the d3. you have to wait for the new units to come out.

Thats wrong. The BTB100 is 100% compatible with the D3. The only difference between the 100 and 200 is that the 200 has updates for newer phones.

I just got off the phone with Pioneer and the BTB100 is 100% compatible.

 

I could not get my cell phone to transfer the phone book, all other functions worked no problem (samsung synA707).

 

The reason there are problems is the bluetooth protocol called:

Object push / pull profile.

 

My phone does not have "pull" profile so the Nav unit can not get my info. However if you take your phone book entries and make them bluetooth enabled, you can "push" or send the entries.

 

In my phone under settings -> bluetooth connectivity -> bluetooth services - it should list what your phone is capable of. Mine only states the "push profile"

 

I am trying this after work today and will post later.

Hope this helps.

Does anybody know if the Treo 600 work fine with the BTB100 ??

Posted Mar 06, 2007 · 02:06 UTC#13

The BTB100 works fine with my D3. I use it with a cingular Razr and cingular L6. I had to send the contacts one at a time, but an hour in traffic took care of that little project. I would recommend lowering your phone volume to half way or less before the first time you sync it up. If you have it at full blast, you may have echo problems

what are the steps you took to transfer you contacts individually. Mine still do not sync over?

 

What nav functions and what phone functions?

 

Thanks,

This is gonna be messy, hope you can follow.

First, connect the phone by either initiating contact through the nav or phone, it doesn't matter as long as they see eachother. Then go to phone register and you will see there are five spots for phones (1,2,3,G,G.) While sync'd with a phone, press and hold spot 1 and it will put that phone in location 1 (like you were setting a radio preset--press and hold.) Once you have a phone in that location, the phonebook transfer button in the function menu will go from grey to black. Press it. It will unpair the phone from the deck. Then go into your phonebook on the phone. Find the contact you want to send over. For example Alex 555-555-5555. Hit the menu key on the phone and it should have an option to 'SEND' or 'SHARE PHONEBOOK ENTRY' or something similar to that. Select that--It will ask where you want to send it. You can select 'LOOK FOR DEVICES' or just select 'PIONEER BT UNIT' if its already listed. It will then send that contact and you can see on the screen of the D3 it will say completed. You have to do that for each contact, but once you get the key sequence down for your phone, they go real fast. Once they are all in there, you can access them through the phone book, and set up six preset numbers that are accessible like radio presets. Hope that makes some sense. I set up both my phones in there with hundreds of contacts with no issues except it took some time while sitting in traffic

What Version Razr do you have? Meaning how old. My Old razr would not automatically connect to my BT100 with my D2. So my ? are

 

1 Year/version of Razr

2 Is it the D2 or the D3 that makes a difference?

 

Thanks

Thanks for the instructions on the contact transfering. That Is what I did and after it kicks I select Phone book transfer, and I go to send my contact it says it can not find the Pioneer.

 

I have no problem calling or it receiving and pairing is easy once I get near my car I get paired instantly because I registered the phone.

 

Maybe the BTB200 will fix. Or get a new phone right.. probably cheaper..

 

 

The problem is bluetooth is just not that standardized yet!

1. Is a plain black cingular razr, probably a year old or so--not really sure

2. I got a D3 and the bluetooth adaptor. Didn't have bluetooth with my D1

GAP: Generic Access Profile

OPP: Object Push Profile

HSP: Headset Profile

SDP: Service Discovery Protocol

A2DP: Audio(?) And Distribution Profile

AVRCP: Audio Video Remote Control Profile

 

According to the Tech Support agent I talked to, there is no compatiblity list, but rather there is a requirement list, and you now have it....if your phone has the above, you're good to go.

 

If it's wrong, yell at Pioneer.
