Car Forum / Citroen Cars / July 2006Citroen Bluetooth
Recently bought a brand new C2 VTS with bluetooth option. The bluetooth option was factory fitted and is fully integrated within the audio system. My samsung D600 phone connects but doesn't have full functionality (adress book etc) I have tried a Sony Ericsson K750 and that works superb. I contacted Citroen UK & they confirmed that Samsung D600 doesn't have full functionality but the Sny Ericsson does. But the are not very forthcoming at telling me what phones do work. They cant tell me why one manufacturers bluetooth works and one doesn't. Anybody got Citroen bluetooth & can comment further. TIA > Recently bought a brand new C2 VTS with bluetooth option. > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > But the are not very forthcoming at telling me what phones do work. It's not a Citroen problem. It's almost certainly a phone problem. The D600 only supports BlueTooth v1.2, the K750i supports BlueTooth v2. >> Recently bought a brand new C2 VTS with bluetooth option. >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > The D600 only supports BlueTooth v1.2, the K750i supports BlueTooth v2. Many thanks for that Adrian..... Thats the sort of answer I was hoping to get from "Citroen Technical" but they just didn't seem to know why some work & some don't. If this is the case does anybody know where I can get a full list of phones & their bluetooth versions. TIA > Thats the sort of answer I was hoping to get from "Citroen Technical" > but they just didn't seem to know why some work & some don't. To be brutally frank, it really isn't their problem. Some phones have a terrible bluetooth implementation, and just don't fully follow the specs. The fact the K750 works shows that the car kit is working. > If this is the case does anybody know where I can get a full list of > phones & their bluetooth versions. A good phone retailer...?

Choose a model and you'll go to the model specific data. Click on "Erweiterte Daten einblenden" for more details and look out for bluetooth. There should be a link to "bluetooth-db" (only if the phona has bluetooth :)) where the bluetooth version is shown. >tilo Sounds like a dental problem to me. ;>) > Recently bought a brand new C2 VTS with bluetooth option. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > TIA Thanks everyone for your help. Much appreciated. After a look around it looks like BMW & TomTom bluetooth systems have the same compatibility issues. Many thanks > After a look around it looks like BMW & TomTom bluetooth systems have > the same compatibility issues. ITYM "Some phones with iffy BT implementatons have the same compatibility issues with BMW & TomTom bluetooth systems, too." Blame where blame's due. You've already proved the Cit BT kit is fine, by demonstrating it working with the K750. Lob the pikey Samsung where it belongs, the bin, and get a decent phone. >>Lob the pikey Samsung where it belongs, the bin, and get a decent phone. Any suggestions for a decent phone anyone?? Bargains (me@here.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying >>>Lob the pikey Samsung where it belongs, the bin, and get a decent phone. > Any suggestions for a decent phone anyone?? What's your requirements for it? If you just want a good solid reliable phone that plays nicely with the BT kit, how about a <looks back at original post> K750...? SWMBO's got one, and I find it excellent. If your requirements are a bit more complex, then uk.telecom.mobile is that way...---> >>>Lob the pikey Samsung where it belongs, the bin, and get a decent phone. > >Any suggestions for a decent phone anyone??
