Please post compatible and non compatible bluetooth Handsfree equipment here.

I would really love to buy the X1 , but I am not sure that it will work with my bluetooth handsfree kit that I have in the car (that has Sim Access Profile ability)

Audi A4 2.0TDI Quattro 2007, with Audi integrated bluetooth telephone kit.

Though I'm not sure how well it works, only tested it for a few minutes, it does sync the contacts to the car without problems.

Works well with the new BlueAnt 9Zi - better then with my Nokia phones

Has anybody used it with Sim Access Profile?

Which car has Sim Access Profile ?
Expensive BMW ?

As I understand it, SIP means that the car (?) can use the SIM card in the phone with the cars radio unit (without removing SIM from phone).

My car syncs the phones address book to the cars memory (up to 4 phones can be remembered). Not using SIP.

Well.. It's actually a Nokia 610 HF kit, but it works so good with my HTC Tytn 2 and I am not interested in downgrading(buying a new bluetooth system without sim access). By using SAP it actually increases the battery lifetime of the phone since it takes over the radio. I usally just keep my phone in the jacket when I enter the car.

This solution works perfect therefor I need to test it and see if the X1 can do this (would be a shame if it can't when Tytn 2 can...)

My bluetooth headset Sony DR-BT20NX Can work, but I can only Tune my volume up and down. Cannot skip track or fast forward...

Hi tai020381. Can you try playing music from the Windows Media Player under programs on the X1. With my Nokia BH-604 i have the same problem under SE's media player and even on the addin Touchflo panel. But when I use Windows media player direct it works great.

I have been in contact with Sony Ericsson X1 support and... well... "it's nothing wrong with our phone...."

But if it's the same trouble with Sony's headset it's a bigger issue then just my Nokia headset.

Hi. I tried my bluetooth headset with Windws Media Player. It really works better than the SE media panel. Now I can pause, play, skip forward and backwards, Change volume. But its A2dp seems not very good. Music tends to skip (due to bad connection), reception is worse than my k850i. But windows media player cannot create a good playlist... Which tends to play everything....

@tai020381

I had skipping once only but note that you really need to use a SE A2DP unit (e.g. HBH-DS220) to get the best performance.

For Sennheiser VMX100 users, you don't need to enter the PIN, if you wait the VM100 will pair automatically once discovered by the X1 in the search.

tai020381 - Please contact SE about this problem with the panel. I have also confirmed that some other BT devices do not work under theire panel, and we have sendt email to SE. If more people do this they can not ignore it.

My confirmation of the following with my HBH-DS980 headset...

Media Experience Panel - A2DP only, no AVRCP support

Windows Media Player - A2DP and limited AVRCP (no track info, volume not sync, other remote control features work)

Bluetooth service discovery report only Wireless Headset and Hands-Free services, and nothing else.

bloob, please report this to SE! They totaly blowed me off telling me to buy a SE BT headset as it worked flawless with the mediapanel.... BS!
