some updates and news.
v2017-08-31_1
News
- Modem: If you dial “***” then all connected devices will be disconnected. It’s possible to use it to abort automatic search before pairing a new device.
Updated
- Modem: Updated initialization of microphone and speaker in headrest.
- Modem: The new firmware notification timeout is 6 seconds.
fyi:
i have the last piece from my personal series ;) . after that you can order it only on volvotune.nl or volvocesky.cz.
Er det noen her som har satt inn dette modulet?
Kunne gjerne tenkt meg å høre hvordan samtalekvaliteten er - så hvis noen har det i drift, send meg en PM så kan du ringe meg fra telefonen :-)
Morgis har vel dette i drift?
ja, brukt daglig i 6måneder nå til musikk.
Starter spotify automatisk når jeg starter bil, lydkvalitet er helt topp.
Mikrofon til samtale oppleves dårlig "i andre enden". Neppe feil på BT modul da jeg fikk ny for å teste om dette bedret kvaliteten, så her er det kanskje volvos telefonmodul som ikke er bedre. Har ikke brydd meg mer med dette.
Samme erfaringen her. Kan selvfølgelig slå på tråden om det skulle være ønskelig. =p
couple of changes ;) . some of them are focused to the update safety. some of them are prepared for communication with "vdash".
!!! please use the following steps for the firmware update !!! :
- bootloader update:
- - connect the device which you will use ti the update
- - wait until is possible to read PHM phonebook
- - send the "emergency\boot_loader.btb" file
- firmware update:
- - as usual or use documntation
v2017-10-14_1
News
- Bootloader: Protection against wrong or badly received firmware. If the new firmware is not Ok then the device will stay in bootloader (prepared to receive a new firmware) also after power down and power up. So it's not necessary to remove the board out of PHM and start from scratch via USB.
- Bluetooth: Possibility to module settings by sending “btphone_cfg.bst” file to the device.
- Bluetooth: Possibility to get module settings by sending “btphone_cfg.bgt” file to the device.
- Bluetooth: Possibility to get system info by sending “btphone_info.bgt” file to the device
- - Bluetooth modem (wt32i) firmware version
- - bootloader version
- - firmware version
- - license ID
- - licence status
- - Modem settings details
- Bluetooth: Possibility to send settings files (configuration and texts) also if standard connection is not allowed (PHM turned off by the button but power is up).
- Modem: Bootloader version is available in the setting menu (phonebook).
- Modem: Disconnecting the second connected device by dial "###". The mode will stay activated so it's possible to connect another.
Updated
- Bluetooth: The error log readout has been changed to "btphone_error.bgt" file instead of "btphone_get.bel".
- Bluetooth: The license activation file has been changed to "btphone_license.bst" instead of "btphone_set.blc".
- Bluetooth: The texts settings file has been changed to "btphone_texts.bst" instead of "btphone_cfg.btx".
- Bluetooth: The device name settings file has been changed to "btphone_name.bst" instead of "btphone_cfg.bnm".
- Bluetooth: The modem type is part of global settings file "btphone_cfg.bst" so the setting via "btphone_cfg.bmb" file is no longer supported.
a few things.
the same style of update like before (including bootloader).
v2017-10-23_1
News
- Bootloader: Bootloader validation.
Updated
- System: System library update.
- FW package: The folder structure has been changed.
Fixed
- Bootloader: Boot loop if the bootloader was missing in the device.
FYI: i plan to do some video HOW-TOs. so i hope that it will useful ;) .
some tiny updates.
v2017-10-29_1
News
- Bluetooth: Auto connection to the device is enabled only if the communication with PHM is set properly. This eliminates problems with pairing the first device if the communication with PHM is not working (due to different baudrate).
Updates
- Modem: The signal strength on the dashboard not shows the GSM signal strength but the signal strength of Bluetooth connection. GSM signal strength is not updating if the device is not active (the display is turned off). If there is not any comma then there is possible that there are outages during the audio streaming.
for xc90 owners:
i should start the develop for the xc90 PHM soon. i didn't know how to forward the music into the radio (optics is out of my skills). but i did get an idea. i will use the fm transmitter with RDS support to transform audio stream into the radio. it's not 100% professional but it should work (will test it). the audio stream remote will be provided by dialing "#" (for next track), "*" (for previous track) or "0" (for play/pause). thanks to RDS it will possible to send track tags to the radio display.
based on some rumors P1 and P3 platforms use the same PHM (in early years, later models already have bluetooth PHMs).
quite a lot of new versions lately ;) .
v2017-10-31_1
News
- Bluetooth: Added hardware ID info into the system information list.
- Bluetooth: Bluetooth volume for the call is set in the cellphone to the maximum after the call has started.
Fixed
- Bluetooth: After an ignition is turned on then it can caused some reconnecting (the device is connected and disconnected fewtimes).
- Bluetooth: In Windows there wasn't able to accept a file sent from the module.
i finally started with video how-to. the first one is probably not so important because everybody who has this module and it's already works then he knows it. but i plan to add all regarding the module settings and other features.
so here it is.
it's in Czech but you can turn on English subtitles ;) .
new video. how to set baudrate properly.Sitat:

- changing BT module name
- language and freely-changeable texts
Is it possible to get it to show artist and song title in the DIM as well? I really wanna buy a Pioneer with Android Auto, or the BluePower Android unit when it is released, but this is so easy! I got a GROM BT unit already, but for the price you charge, I might just buy yours instead! ;)Sitat:

Noen som vet om det er bare og putte inn et gammelt sim kort eller må det vere et tvilling simkort til telefonen? :)
Hvis du tenker på den originale telefonmodulen (uten modifiseringa som her omtales) bruker den et hvilket som helst aktivt simkort. Om du har eget abb til bilen, eller vil bruke tvillingsim er opp til deg selv.
it's possible to implement but it will not convenient. the text is possible to show instead of the operator name (connected device). if this is active then buttons on the steering wheel are mapped to the PHM instead of the radio. so if you see the text then you can't change the track or change the volume on the radio.Sitat:

small changes
v2017-11-28_1
Updates
- Bluetooth: Some names of configuration files has been changed (again). The reason is due to merge the names for all my BT products:
- - license upload: “bt_license.bst”
- - settings: “bt_config.bst”, “bt_config.bgt” (settings request), “bt_config.txt” (received settings)
- - system information: “bt_info.bgt” (information request), “bt_info.btg” (received system info)
- - error log: “bt_error.btg” (log request), “bt_error.btg” (received log)
new video.Sitat:

- how to update the module (updated order, so it's as third on the list)
Yeh.. firmware update failed.. My phone said "File could not be sent" and now the PHM just display "Please wait..." forever.
How to fix?
what was the transfer status before it was failed? was it failed on the begining (nothing was sent) or it was failed during the process?
if nothing is send then just turn off the ignition, lock the car and wait at about 5 minutes (check it if it start operate). if something was sent then it depends on the bootloader version. if the bootloader version is older than 2017-10-14 then you have to remove the PHM out of the car and reflash the BT module via USB (let me know and i will send you a steps how-to).
Bootloader is older, the process have failed a couple of times so It's still an old version, probably from june/july.. So, please send instructions. See e-mail in my signature.Sitat:

BT module - recovery via USBSitat:
Opprinnelig postet av locked
preparation:
- remove PHM out of the car and remove the main cover
- unplug the 30pin ribbon cable from BT module
- install sam-ba (SAM-BA v2.xx for Windows) software on the PC with windows (http://www.microchip.com/development...m%20programmer)
- reboot the computer
- download the latest fw for BT module (https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...Ep4ai15NU1lTVk)
- rename the "btphone_p2v2.btb" file to "btphone_p2v2.bin"
- images mentioned bellow are available here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/JRtm124XQcS9CF2p1
recovery process:
- connect BT module to the PC via USB
- make a short on "JP2" (by metal tweezer, wire, ...)
- wait at around 10 seconds and release the short on "JP2"
- wait at around 20 seconds, run "SAM-BA" application (on windows 10 as an administrator)
- on the app at second line choose "at91sam4s2-ek" and click on "Connect" (figure "init - 01")
- on the next window (figure "init - 02") click on the button marked as red and then choose the "btphone_p2v2.bin" file
- click on "Send File" (figure "init - 02", marked as green)
- after the file is send then the message appears (figure "init - 03"). choose "No".
- click on "Execute" (on figure "init - 02" marked as blue) and then close the app.
- unplug the USB out of BT module, wait 10 seconds and plug it back. LEDs should start blinking somehow and after a while only the blue is blinking ("BT_B").
- send the following files to the BT module via bluetooth: "boot_loader.btb", "bt_config.bst" (do not forget to set the communication speed properly, you can also set the other things), "btphone_texts.bst"
- unplug the USB cable out of BT module and connect the ribon cable back
- put the PHM back into the car
the license is missing on the module so it will always disconnect any device after a minute. turn on the PHM and you will see the code instead of connected device name. make a picture and send it to me ;) . after that i will send you a license file.
note:
in the package "BT Phone P2v2 - v2017-11-28_1.zip" the file "bt_config.bst" is badly named as "btphone_cfg.bst" (will fixed in next release). in this case rename the "btphone_cfg.bst" file to "bt_config.bst.
again some improvements
v2017-12-13_1
News
- Bluetooth: Possibility to manage paired device list via files
- - “bt_pair.bgt”: After the file is send then you will reveive “bt_pair.txt” file. This file contains list of paired devices. Each line is the paired device (<Name>;<ID>;<Key>).
- - “bt_pair.bst”: This file contains the list of paired devices. If empty then all devices will be deleted. Use the "bt_pair.txt" and remove the device (line) which you want to remove out of BT module. Then send it as "bt_pair.bst".
- Bluetooth: You don't need to be connected before you want to read the device settings, ...
- Bluetotoh: If the BT module don't find any device after the second loop then it stops searching. It makes easier to pair the new device if it's not possible at beginning.
- Modem: Added protection and notification against wrong instalation, if the SIM cable is plugged into PHM. You will see the permanent "SIM ERROR" message on the dashboard. Contacts are not shown, you see the settings phonebook list instead (not possible to use after the device is connected). Connect the device, listen the music, receive or dial calls is available.
Fixed
- Bluetooth: If the second device is enabled it's not automaticaly connected.
- Bluetooth: Sometimes the file sent from the BT module was not finished properly.
- Bluetooth: The file from the BT module has been always sent to the first device also if requested from the second.
- Firmware package: Wrong names of the configuration files.
PS: i'm curious how many people will see the "SIM ERROR" after this update.
news which new users will like them ;) .
v2017-12-15_2
News
- Modem: Modem communication speed is now automatically detected.
Updates
- Modem: The default modem communication speed is now set to 19200Bd (facelift models).
- Bootloader: Some updates regarding communication speed.
PS:
if you have wavecom version in the pre-facelift model then it will not work properly for a while. so do the following steps:
- after the firmware update wait for a while (error on the radio disappears)
- turn off the ignition and lock the car.
- wait at around 5 minutes
- turn on the ignition and wait for a while, if the green LED on PHM stops shining, turn on the PHM again.
- wait until it start operate properly
- now update the bootloader
PS2:
the bootloader update is required for everybody. the link to videos is above.
v2017-12-17_1
Updates
- Modem: The different method for modem baudrate detection.
EDIT:
v2017-12-17_2
Fixed
- Modem: The communication has stopped working after the baudtrate detection.
the new version after a longer time. it looks like there are not so many changes but some parts of the code are quite rewrote.
how-to update (also the bootlaoder): here (turn the english subtitles on)
v2018-04-13_1
Fixed
- Bluetooth: Voice command activation on iPhone.
- Bluetooth: Possibility to set the module just for Hands-Free (HFP).
- System: After the bootloader is turned on then it will stay active even if turned on again (if power is turned off). The only way how to switch it back is to upload proper version of the firmware.
Updates
- Some modules has been fully rewrote.
if the bootloader is not updated (after the firmware update) then it is not possible to turn it on.
some bug fixes. and one now feature ;) .
v2018-04-25_1
News
- Bluetooth: Added a feature to swap connected cellphones. If you dial "**#" then the cellphone for calls is changed to cellphone for the music and vice versa.
Updated
- Bluetooth: Some names of configuration files has been changed (again). The reason is due to merge the names for all my BT products:
- - Bluetooth module name: “bt_name.bst”
- - User texts: “bt_user_texts.bst”
Fixed
- Bluetooth: The second cellphone autoconnection.
- Modem: The Bootloader version didn’t change after the update (it was right after the reboot).
- Modem: History calls readout.
Tha last update I did was 24.02.2017. What files do I need to update to get the latest version in my car? Hoping I don't have to send all the updates in between!
it should be ok if you flash directly the latest fw. the firmware first and then bootloader. if something wrong then it's possible to fix via USB (it can happen). if you have a laptop then it should be the best option for this situation.Sitat:

the part managing calls has been changed quite a lot.
now it works like this:
incoming calls (does not matter if the first or the second connected device):
- if the call is rejected, then it's terminated
- if accepted on then PHM (if it offers it) then the call is connected as a HF via PHM
- if accepted on then device then the call stays on device
outgoing call:
- if dialled on the PHM then the call is created on the first connected device (possible to switch via "**#")
- if dialled on the device then:
- - if not active any call then it's connected as a HF via PHM (if ericsson modem or the it's the second device then PHM starts ringing, if rejected then call stays in the device)
- - if already active call (connected as a HF) then the new call stays in the device
call terminating:
- if the red button on the PHM (or the steering wheel) is pressed then the call connected as a HF is terminated.
- if terminated on the device then it's also terminated on the PHM (if connected)
call switching between PHM and the device:
- if you want to switch the call from the PHM to the device then select Earphone or Speaker on the device (audio options during the call). the call will stay in the device and it's terminated in PHM.
- if you want to switch the call from the device to the PHM (HF) then select Bluetooth on the device (audio options during the call). if ericsson modem or the it's the second device then PHM starts ringing, if rejected then call stays in the device
2 active calls or 1 active and 1 incomming:
- if 2 active calls (each on the different device) and the call connected with the PHM is terminated as the first then the PHM offer the connection with the second. if ericsson modem or the it's the second device then PHM starts ringing, if rejected then call stays in the device
- if call is active and connected with PHM and some incomming call is on the second device then:
- if accept the call on the device then call stays in the device.
- if current active call is terminated then the PHM offers accept / reject the of the incomming call.
in the shortcut:
where you do the action, there it will affect.
not so possitive news for the iPhone owners. i have an piece for the testing. after some tests i do not recommend it to use with another connected device (the connection start to be unstable, from time to time it causes Bluetooth modem restarts, ...). the worst scenario is if the iPhone is connected as the second device and you make a call or somebody calls to the device. if iPhone is connected as an only device then there is no problems.
i hope that this text makes a sence. if not then i apologize and let me know.
