 I've updated to the recent version of SHR unstable (opkg update/upgrade

 I followed the instructions from the Wiki [1] (not much to follow for
 SHR, it seems) and I got the MAC from the car.. used the simple-agent to
 pair.. my car asked me to enter a PIN for pairing.. then the FR asked me
 for it.. and once I entered that it's happy.. (trying a second time
 quits with message that there's already a bond with that device)

Yes, it seems you used the correct instructions. You might want to remove
the bonding before trying again, for that supply an additional dummy
parameter to simple-agent.

 However.. my car kept trying to pair with the FR (display said something
 like Pairing in progress.. with the only option to abort.. :(

Hm, that is strange. You need to try to remove the bonding and to try
again. Probably you hit some timeout or something else went wrong.

 Needless to say, pairing with my Nokia 6500C works like a charm.. :(

It'd be interesting to try it with some laptop (running bluez4, of
course).

 The Wiki [1] says that I should log with hcidump -l 4096 -w bt.dump
 but that command is not available on my FR...

Hm, it should be, probably in some additional bluez package (but do
not install bluez3!)

I reckon that the radio is checking for capabilities and that the FR
fails to meet the requirements.. could that be? (I've no idea about
Bluetooth - totally on the user side there.. :))

Indeed - my bad... I should have checked that, sorry..
installing bluez-hcidump now.. (I sure hope it's not bluez3 dependent)

I will try pairing again later.. and provide a bt.dump.. :)

Thank you..

I came up with that thought because the radio also accesses the contacts
on the phone and provides a list on the display.

BMW Pro Radio... I think we are not only talking about a headset. I
guess we are talking about a handsfree car kit. I am also planning to
pair my FR to my Mondeo, but did not try it yet, because I heard that
Hands Free Profile is not fully supported yet. I planned to do something
in this area but did not find the time yet.

  I will try pairing again later.. and provide a bt.dump.. :)

I came so far that I found a project,
http://nohands.sourceforge.net/source.html, which is not HFP (Hands Free
Profile) but the server (if FR is the client). So my guess is, if I can
get my FR to connect with this, it should also connect to my car. The
advantage is, for testing that one can dumb and debug the whole
BT-communication, because nohands also runs on Linux-machine.

*g* They say I should ask the BMW Service about which phones are
supported. I am dead sure that they never heard about the FR.. ;)

With unsupported phones, errors may occur.. lol

A somewhat unrelated note: even the T-Mobile guy from technical support
rang me up and asked what an Openmoko FreeRunner was (I sent them a mail
about GPRS connection details)..

Has everyone noticed that all the letters of the word database are
typed with the left hand? Now the layout of the QWERTYUIOP typewriter
keyboard was designed, among other things, to facilitate the even use of
both hands. It follows, therefore, that writing about databases is not
only unnatural, but a lot harder than it appears.

Tried again.. as expected, no luck... however, I got the dump..
I started it before pairing.. and let it run and run after the FR was
happy with pairing.. (I thought the radio may give up - but after 5 mins
it still said pairing in progress...)

Anyone interested can find the dump here (11k):
http://www.digitalchaos.de/openmoko/bt.dump

and the log here (6k):
http://www.digitalchaos.de/openmoko/log.txt

(yeah, I used the always handy 1234 pin.. lol)

I actually thought the dump would be kinda readable.. can anyone read that??

[SHR unstable] Bluetooth pairing with BMW Pro Radio car handsfree fails

2009-06-10 Thread Thomas Franck
Hi.. :)

Sorry for repost, figured that Community is probably a better list
than Support.. ;)

I've updated to the recent version of SHR unstable (opkg update/upgrade
yesterday) and tried to pair with my car today.. (BMW Pro Radio)

I followed the instructions from the Wiki [1] (not much to follow for
SHR, it seems) and I got the MAC from the car.. used the simple-agent to
pair.. my car asked me to enter a PIN for pairing.. then the FR asked me
for it.. and once I entered that it's happy.. (trying a second time

However.. my car kept trying to pair with the FR (display said something
like Pairing in progress.. with the only option to abort.. :(

Needless to say, pairing with my Nokia 6500C works like a charm.. :(

The Wiki [1] says that I should log with hcidump -l 4096 -w bt.dump
but that command is not available on my FR...

Anyone any idea? Help is very appreciated - I wanna swap the Nokia for
good..
