Hi I got a new experia tipo last week. it pairs with the car fine and you can make calls but it will not come out of the speakers, so the caller can here you but its dead your end. its not the car as it works with an iphone and an old nokia but not the tipo. all other functions work including importing the phone book to the car but no speakers. anybody got any ideas?

Thanks for posting and welcome to the forum!

Do you know what bluetooth profiles the car stereo supports?

The phone uses Bluetooth headset profile and A2DP to transfer sound from calls & media player.

What do you think about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem with my Mercedes C-Class. All other phones work, just not my Tipo.

The car bluetooth requires Handsfree Profile 1.0 or above. I believe the Tipo supports Hands-Free Profile 1.5, so it should work.

When I look at the settings of the pairing (on the phone) it has one option, which is enable Audio through this connection. It looks like it is connecting with the A2DP profile, rather than Handsfree?
