Carlo Scala rider Q2: problems with iPhone 3G under IPhone OS 3.O ?

Hi,

My Carlo scala rider Q2 Headset was working fine with my iPhone 3G, until this latter was upgraded to iPhone 3.0 OS.

Since that day, the microphone of my headset is no more active and I've check it was the same with a brand-new Carlo Scala Rider headset. Is it a problem of compatibility with the new bluetooth stereo version of iPhone 3.0 software .

Thank you for any help.

I'm having the same problems with my scala rider headset with bluetooth 2.0. It will pair up, but none of the controls work from the headset. It worked fine on my blackberry pearl an it had options in the bluetooth section aswell. I hope they get this fixed. Because i have wasted 299.00 dollars and resigned up for a new 2 yr contract for nothing!! Plz fix this apple,, ty

Hi,

As all of you, i'm disappointed with the the iphone / scala combination, but let me make this clear - iphone is the "guilty" part not scala:
The Good: phone is pairing and working "ok", no voice dialing is possible
The Bad: no music or gps instructions can be heard in the headphones

However, everything was working fine with pre 3.0 versions of the iphone software

Yesterday, while on the phone with somebody, I've selected the ipod icon then hit play and ... what do you know, i was able to hear the song loud and clear in my headset, together with the guy i was talking to (he didn't hear the music, only me). Unfortunately the music stopped as soon as the call stopped. I was able to recreate the situation several times.

So what this proves is that, even with the 3.x version installed (A2DP), regardless of iphone generation (3G or 3gs), the headset can receive the bt music stream from the phone, but the phone is not sending it to the headset (only while a call is on)

Can somebody do something about this, it looks as a simple programming glitch or something?

Hi,

I have had a Q2 for a while and has been working great. I recently purchased an iphone 3Gs 16G and just paired it with my Q2. All phone calls work well, from outgoing to incoming through my Q2.

I think for the iphone to work correctly with the Q2 you need to have the latest iphone 3Gs which includes "voice activation". To activate this feature for dialing out through the Q2 you need to tap the control button on the Q2 to activate "voice activation" on the iphone, you will then hear the connection and all you have to do is speak. To receive incoming calls through the Q2 all you have to do as per any other paired device is to say somithing ie "hello".

As for streaming music from iphone to Q2 i am not sure sorry.

Cheers

Further more, ensure you have the "voice connect feature" enabled on the Q2 as per the setup and config manual. Once this is confirmed, voice dialing can only be made with a "short press of the control button" on the Q2, again as per the setup and config manual.

I hope this helps.
