Need more info....using what bluetooth stack? What OS?
Do you have any bluetooth-related design experience?

hi justchat_1,

thx for the quick answer.
for the bluetooth stack i have both bs and widcomm. my car os is winxp but on my notbook is w7 running. hmm my only experience with bluetooth is in delphi. actually no real experience with bluetooth only open an comport and send AT command and receiving information or an bluetooth gps receiver.

i currently I'm trying with 32feet.net lib.

Well your going to need to use widcomm's sdk to make the exchange over obex (using the PBAP Guid). Sorry this isn't as simple as AT commands.

I remember seeing somewhere someone hacked together an app that used the trayapp to dump pbap entries to files and then read them and parsed them. That's just awful programming though-your much better off doing it the right way.

hmm...have you experience with that? maybe you have some info where i get information or samples about pbap profile. can you remember the name of the hacked app?
what is with openmobile? is it working with bluetooth an mobilephones?

i have read in the here something about navready there is some writen over the pbap profile but i don't know what it is. i can't download the files for the navready. (at the moment running with 56k modem)

PBAP spec should be available at bluetooth.com although I can't seem to find it at the moment. Can't remember sorry....

Not yet...The bluetooth part required the purchase of an audio decoding library and I won't be releasing it until its complete. The licensing cost is small, so shouldn't be too hard getting the required donations.
