rSAP compatible phone.

Can someone spec me an rSAP compatible phone for my VW premium phone prep.....neither my iPhone or Galaxy Nexus supports rSAP.

I am thinking about just getting a cheapo PAYG phone to leave in the car...unless their is an easy way to get rSAP compatibility on my Nexus.

Looks like if you root the Nexus you can do it:

That would be cool if I knew how to root a phone.

Use the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit, it's the easiest way to do anything:

Does it have to be rSAP compatible? I've used my Seat BT with virtually every phone launched in the last 2 years and none have had issues. This assumes there hasn't been a new bluetooth module since 2010 which I don't think there has been.

yeah, it has to rSAP compatible as the VW is not a handsfree system, it is an integrated phone system that piggybacks your phones SIM.

Looks like I am going to have to root my Nexus and pay £8 for the rSAP app.....if I can figure out how to root my phone.

iPhone doesn't want to know either.

If you have a 3G, 3GS or 4 there is a Cydia app called RSAPserver which might work.

When you pair it does your phonebook get transfered at all? The VAG BT module uses remote SIM and Headset profile (android calls this "Call Audio") in tandem, it first does the address book transfer (admittedly - poorly. It conforms to SIM contact profile so 8 char contact names, joy) and then invokes headset when the calls go through.

I'm running the trio of Samsung galaxies currently as i no longer test handsets for job so it may be the case the nexus got the short stick and only runs headset or something. I had to give explicit permission for address book access on Android I'm pretty sure, appeared on first pairing.

Check out the program I linked to - if you can figure out how to type a couple of numbers in on a keyboard then you can root your phone.

Thanks...I'll give it a shot....its pretty poor show that Android no longer supports rSAP natively IMO.

It doesn't pair, that is the issue....without rSAP the phone is incompatible.

Sorry to keep suggesting wrong things Castiel then, i was hoping it would at least use a fallback profile

I cant get the xda toolkit to work.....besides it keeps getting deletged by my viruschecker..

Castiel · 27 Jul 2012 at 21:03

Downloaded a different toolkit.....a lot of messing about and woohoo.....it works.

Seemless integration into my VW.

Thanks chaps, saved me buying a new phone.
