== General Information ==

=== PBAP ===

The Bluetooth Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) allows to exchange Phone Book objects between carkits and mobile devices. In other words, PBAP profile gives your car unit read access to your mobile phone book (to be exact: to both, the phonebook stored on SIM card and the phone book stored on internal memory. But for the N900 only second one is relevant).

Described in a more specific way, whenever a connection between your carkit and your PBAP enabled phone is established, your phone book will be transfered to your carkit automatically. What happens from now with the transfered phone book of course depends on the features of your carkit. Typical use cases are browse and dial (voice-dial if supported by carkit) your contacts and show caller names for incoming calls. With an integrated In-Car Infotainment/Phone/Navigation/Whatever system it is even possible to use the contacts addresses as target for the navigation system.

By default N900 does NOT support PBAP and thus the in-car use cases described above are either not possible or require manual workarounds as the in other threads described "Petrovich workaround" (manual sending of vCards via Bluetooth) or OPP (Object Push Profile - A Bluetooth profile that enables a Bluetooth device to transfer (push) an object (e.g. contact) to another Bluetooth device).

=== IrMC ===

This project also aims to provide IrMC support. IrMC is another method to transfer the phone book to e. g. a car kit via Bluetooth which is by default not supported by N900.

Here comes the good news: 
<div style="text-align:center;">'''NOW YOU CAN HAVE PBAB and IrMC ON YOUR N900 !!!'''</div>

== Credits ==

Credits for the achieved so far go to those who contributed in the old thread [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36272 "Car kit can not access contact information"] as well as the new thread [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=59114 Announce - Bluetooth PBAP and IrMC / Carkit support is coming to N900...]:

Especially the developers: drdrewusaf, tuxy, jarmo2, hschmitt, Ossman, mirakels..., but of course also all the others who helped with testing and troubleshooting!

== Disclaimer ==

'''!!! CAUTION !!!'''

This project is still in development stage, which means there are still some risks, downsides and issues to be solved before PBAB on N900 is ready for the average user...(see below).

Please read this summary carefully and evaluate the risks involved for yourself!
(Keep in mind that this can cause problems for the phone. Backup your data, backup your config (apps > system > backup) and know how to reflash)

'''Whatever you do, you are doing it at your own risk!'''

However, if you want to have PBAB / IrMC and want to help out here -

'''You are more than welcome as a tester or even developer.'''

Of course, before you start playing with your phone, you should check if your carkit does support PBAP / IrMC.

If it does not, this solution can not help you - Sorry!

(Note: Carkits older than 2007 probably do NOT support PBAP)

== Current Project Status: ==

===''' Supported Carkits '''===

===''' Known issues / problems '''===

* <s>Broken PC Suite connectivity</s> 
* <s>False Maemo 5 update announcement in App Manager</s> *)
* <s>In some cases broken file transfer via BT to certain devices</s> 
* Sometimes contacts synced from other devices (e.g. using PC Suite) with special characters in names/details are not transferred (correctly). Recreating these contats on your N900 ''should'' solve this issue.
* <s>Lists for outgoing/incoming/missed calls are not supported (some carkits maintain own lists)</s> **)
* <s>PBAP working but buggy, after copying contacts to some handsfree devices only some of them are visible, incoming calls show wrong name from some other contact.</s> **)
* <s>Installing/Removing requires manual steps in xTerm</s>

'' *) Please note, this problem is related to initial versions of the PBAP implementation. With the latest .deb-files this problem should be solved!''

''(The false Maemo5 update in app manager with early versions of PBAP/IrMC solution was related to the mp-fremantle-205-pr package.''
''Removing this package solved this problem, but removal of mp-fremantle-205-pr *might* cause trouble with future Maemo updates. Unfortunately keeping the package prevents uninstalling the initial PBAP implementation...(you might want to search the two threads for more information on this...).)''
''Any information on how to uninstall without removing the package or how to reinstall the package is very welcome!''

'' **) Please note, this feature was added in version 0.46-1maemo2.''

==''' Installation Guide '''==

Mirakels created two deb-files in order to make the installation more user friendly.
This installation is based on obexd-0.30 and provides
* PBAP support
* IrMC support
* PC Suite support
* Multiple phone numbers per contact
* Skip SIM contact requests (means contacts are not shown twice)
* vCards are separated correctly with CRLF between ENV:VCARD and BEGIN:VCARD.

=== Step 0 ===

In case you played with obex on your phone before / had previous versions of this project installed, please perform a downgrade to original version first by following the steps described in section [http://wiki.maemo.org/Bluetooth_PBAP#Downgrade_to_Original_State Downgrade to Original State]

=== Step 1 ===

Download these 2 .deb packages provided by mirakels:

[http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=12973&d=1281827814 libopenobex2_1.5_armel.deb]

[http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=12986&d=1281878114 obexd2_0.30-0maemo1_armel.deb]

or use the newer obexd2 version updated to the latest obexd repository and build against the pr1.3 sdk:

[http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=15356&stc=1&d=1289056159 obexd2_0.35-0maemo1_armel.deb]

Even more recent versions.

[http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=18181&d=1299055571 obexd2_0.37-0maemo1_armel.deb]

[http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=18183&d=1299056116 libopenobex2-1.5-0maemo3_armel.deb]

Packages provided by luf:

New patched version of obexd droped the dependency to openobex. So you need just obexd package.

[http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=27460&d=1342981511 obexd_0.46-1maemo2+cssu1_armel.deb]

Standard evolution-data-server in Maemo N900 returns even empty fields in VCARD what isn't supported in some handsfree devices. There is patched version which you can use in such situation.

[http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=27461&d=1342981527 evolution-data-server-addressbook_1.4.2.1-20120717-maemo1+cssu1_armel.deb]

[http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=27462&d=1342981545 libebook_1.4.2.1-20120717-maemo1+cssu1_armel.deb]

[http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=27464&d=1342981585 libedata-book_1.4.2.1-20120717-maemo1+cssu1_armel.deb]

[http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=27465&d=1342981599 libedataserver_1.4.2.1-20120717-maemo1+cssu1_armel.deb]

This may hopefully get into CSSU.

If you want to take look at sources you can [http://merlin1991.at/~luf/pbap/ Packages and sources for PBAP]

=== Step 2 ===

Place them in a folder on the N900, say <code>/home/user/mypackages</code>

=== Step 3 ===

As root run (replace /home/user/mypackages with the path to the folder where you placed the files):

<source lang="bash">
cd /home/user/mypackages
dpkg -i *.deb</source>

=== Step 4 ===

Reboot the phone.
Test and ENJOY - hopefully ;-)

'''-> Please share your results !!!'''

Worked fine with Audi A4 (2011) MMI, accept the incoming, outgoing, etc shows irrelevant contacts.

<s>PBAP working but buggy, after copying contacts to Nokia Speakerphone HF-510 only some of them are visible, incoming calls show wrong name from some other contact.</s>

This buggy behaviour is fixed in version 0.46-1maemo2. Please give it a try.

=== Old/Obsolete Installation Guide ===

Note: The following installation steps are not necessary anymore and just kept for better understanding of what was going on so far.

Step 1

Download the following 3 files and copy them to your phone (provided by drdrewusaf):

* [http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libo/libopenobex/libopenobex1_1.5-2_armel.deb Openobex 1.5-2 libraries]
* [http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libo/libopenobex/openobex-apps_1.5-2_armel.deb Openobex 1.5-2 apps]
* [http://forums.internettablettalk.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=11779&stc=1&d=1278357528 obexd]

Step 2

Open a root terminal and navigate to the folder you saved the 3 files in (where "/path/to/files" is the real path to your downloaded files):

<source lang="bash">
cd /path/to/files
</source>

Step 3

Install the packages. 
As root run:

<source lang="bash">
dpkg -i libopenobex1_1.5-2_armel.deb openobex-apps_1.5-2_armel.deb obexd_0.28-0maemo3_armel.deb
</source>

Step 4

Download the latest version of obexd zipped binary provided by mirakels from here

[http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=12612&d=1280519142 obex download]

This version provides:
* PBAP support (actually the plain PBAP that is in the 0.29 repo)
* IRMC sync support (only full phonebook retrieves)
* extra CR/LF between contacts
* support for multiple phone numbers per contact
* PC-Suite support (based on the patch test from hschmitt)

BUGS: pbap sends phonebook twice.

Step 5

Replace the current obexd in <code>/usr/lib/obex/obexd</code> with the new one from mirakels, 
as root run:

<source lang="bash">
cd <where your new version is>
gunzip obexd.gz
mv obexd /usr/lib/obex/obexd
</source>

Make sure that it is excecutable

<source lang="bash">
chmod a+x /usr/lib/obex/obexd
</source>

Step 6

Edit the obex start command in ''/usr/share/dbus-1/services/obexd.service'':
* for PBAB include the option ''--pbap'' (already added after previous steps),
* for IRMC include the option ''--irmc'' (both is possible too), 
* for PC Suite connection add ''--capability !/usr/bin/gen-obex-capability.sh''

Step 7

Reboot, test and ENJOY - hopefully ;-)

'''-> Please share your results !!!'''

== Troubleshooting ==

For troubleshooting install and use hcidump and/or syslog

=== Download and install hcidump ===
   
First you need to add the developer repository, see [[Documentation/devtools/maemo5#Installation the devtools installation instructions]].

After adding the repository, run the following command as root:

<source lang="bash">
apt-get install bluez-hcidump</source>

OR if the above fails, try the following steps:

# Download the deb-package containing hcidump from here: [http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fremantle/free/b/bluez-hcidump/bluez-hcidump_1.42-0maemo2_armel.deb hcidump download]
# Unpack it (alien on Linux, 7-zip on Windows)
# Copy <code>/usr/sbin/hcidump</code> to the N900
# In xTerm as root:<source lang="bash">chmod a+x /usr/sbin/hcidump</source>

=== Usage of hcidump ===

For testing/debugging with hcidump, run the following command (where "/some/path/somefilename" is a real path and any name you choose for your output file.)

<source lang="bash">
hcidump -w /some/path/somefilename
</source>

right before turning your head unit/car on. Then, do what you would normally do to get contacts to show up and wait for it to finish/fail. Then, press ctrl+c on the phone to exit hcidump. Finally, you can view the output/dump file with Wireshark or upload your dump files so we can see what's going on.

'''-> Please share your results !!!
'''

=== Install syslogd and enable obexd debug option ===

For further troubleshooting information you may also want to try to enable obexd syslog debugging messages:

Step 1) 
Install syslogd. As root run <source lang="bash">apt-get install sysklogd</source>
Step 2) 
Kill running obexd process. As root run <source lang="bash">killall obexd</source>
Step 3) 
Restart obexd with enabled debug option. As root run:<source lang="bash">/usr/lib/obex/obexd --debug --opp --ftp --pcsuite --pbap --symlinks --root .obex-root --root-setup /usr/bin/obex-root-setup --capability !/usr/bin/gen-obex-capability.sh</source> 
OR

Add the '''--debug''' option 
in the ''/usr/share/dbus-1/services/obexd2.service'' file (for example just before the --nodaemon option).

Step 4)

Sysklogd will create a file <code>/var/log/syslog</code>

After your test copy this file to some other location (do not delete the original) and edit out the relevant part and post it [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=59114 here].

== Downgrade to Original State ==

To reinstall the original packages:

=== Step 1 ===

Download these 2 .deb packages:

[http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fremantle/free/libo/libopenobex1/libopenobex1_1.4-0maemo3+0m5_armel.deb libopenobex1 1.4]

[http://repository.maemo.org/pool/fremantle/free/o/obexd/obexd_0.18-0maemo5+0m5_armel.deb obexd 0.18]

=== Step 2 ===

Place them in a folder on the N900, say <code>/home/user/mypackages</code>

=== Step 3 ===

As root run (replace /home/user/mypackages with the path to the folder where you placed the files):

<source lang="bash">
apt-get remove openobex-apps
cd /home/user/mypackages
dpkg -i *.deb</source>

=== Step 4 ===

Reboot the phone.

OR run as root

<source lang="bash">
apt-get install libopenobex1=1.4-0maemo3+0m5
apt-get install obexd=0.18-0maemo5+0m5
</source>

Reboot the phone.

OR run as root

<source lang="bash">
apt-get update
apt-get install --reinstall obexd libopenobex1 openobex-apps
</source>

Reboot the phone.
