CK3000 appears as headset since the handsfree profile is not available
from the iPAQ. Is a Bluetooth phone also paired with your CK3000 along
with the PDA? Do you hear a beep when you restart the CK3000 (turn the
ignition key)?

I did have a bluetooth phone paired with the CK3000 when I first tried
it and had it working. Don't anymore and the phone has died but that's
another story (

I'll have another play tonight and see if I can get so clear
indications of what happens.
