rSAP/SAP - Does the Z5 support it?

[paulroberts]

Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade from my Backberry 9900, I like the look of the Z5 but it has to support Remote SIM Access Profile rSAP/SAP in the Bluetooth stack.

I have a VW Passat with the premium car kit and the phone won't connect unless it supports this. I know about the RSAP app at android-rsap.com but there has been confusion in the past about whether this app works on the Z3 let alone the Z5, and also whether the phone needs to be rooted.

Anyone got any ideas? There are just a few people in Europe who drive VW/Audi/Porsche cars that might need this feature! 🙂

Cheers,

Paul

I'm also driving a VW with only rsap support... and i just bought a Z5 premium... and now i have the same problem..

i know that i could change the Hardware in my car (Phone Control Unit) but i dont want to pay 200€ only for a bluetooth connection

I have the same problem.

I bought the xperia z5 compact. Its the newest of them, all older mobile models in this series had rSAP.

Now I read that rSAP is not included and have a skoda which uses rSAP to communicate. 

I dont understand why rSAP is now not supported.

Me too, same problem!
I have the Z5C and a Passat 3C with RSN510. I was looking forward to the MM-update but it also does not work.........oldtimer will probably not longer supported!!
We have to buy a new car :@

same here with my VW Golf. Have a Z5 and discovered it's missing such an important feature.

Please raise the priority and let it be included in a patch release!

Thanks in advance

I have a question to the support of RSAP (Remote Sim Access Profil) due to the Android 6 update:

Does the latest Xperia Z mobiles (Z5, Z3+ and Z3) support RSAP after updating to Android 6 (on the Z5 and Z3+) respectively 6.01 (on the Z3)?

Google provides support for RSAP with Android 6.

I was just trying whether I could connect my Z5C with my old Mercedes and failed. I was running the latest .185 firmware available. The hands-free kit is recognizing my phone but pairing did not succeed.

I just recieved the update to Marshmallow (6.0.1) for my Z3 Compact in Germany. Long waited and now disappointed... Could not connect to the 2009 Premium FSE in my Volkswagen car, though roumours say Marshmallow would support RSAP straigt away. Does it work for someone here? Other brands seem to supports it.

[Cj77]

I habe just recieved a message from the Sony support that their products do not support RSAP along with lots of excuses:

"Unsere Geräte unterstützen kein rSAP."

I have explicitly asked for Marshmallow on the Z3C.

This Statement seems to reflect a general Sony company policy, as it is furter said something in the sense of that their products are so smart that it would bei too hard for them to borrow the SIM card to a car, even while the user is driving.

So do not wait any furter for Sony, change to another brand if you need RSAP.

So for now I can tell you some news:

- RSAP for Z3C with root -> no problem with RSAP App (stable!)

- RSAP for Z5C with root -> some bigger problem with RSAP App, but it works! (not tested for a long period of time, just got it working)

Sony is such a bad company, they created a file in the EFS file system which blocks RSAP service from working! They don't support it, they even break it!

Hej Rickard,

It was quite a while since the rSAP issue was up for discussion in this forum. Have you found any solution to the issue?
