Parrot not working :(

Does anyone have any ideas please ?

I have a Parrot CK3100 in my car. It used to work ok but now when my phone rings, the radio or CD mutes but the Parrot doesn't ring, the phone does ? I can't answer the phone using the green button on the Parrot, i have to answer it as normal using my phone. I then have to tap on the "headset" button on my phone to be able to speak to anyone.

The display on the Parrot shows me who is calling so i know the phone is pairing with the device but i have no idea why i can't make or answer calls any more. I just ignore calls at the moment when i'm driving but would really like to fix this problem if i can without having to take it back to the garage.

Could it be something on my phone ? It's a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini. It worked fine with my crappy Blackberry :)

    Most likely it is the 'phone.

    Try updating the parrot with the latest software, as Android has had an update recently.

    try googling
    parrot ck3100 samsung galaxy s3 for suggestions

    Usually they suggest clearing the parrot by holding the red & green buttons for a few seconds.

    Check the settings. I found my google navigation stopped working when connected to the cars bluetooth handsfree.

    I found the settings and it was trying to put the nav audio through the handfree. But it wasnt designed to do that. Only make/receive calls.

    One click in the settings sorted that.
