Hi Dean, I've never seen a Nokia (or any other phone for that matter) send its menu via any audio socket! But most of them nowadays allow you to establish a Bluetooth pairing, much along the lines you would do if you wanted to use the PK with your phone as a modem. Once that pairing is established, it's possible to send/receive data tfrom/to the phone by using the virtual com port defined by the pairing. In fact, programs like Nokia PC Suite and LogoManager do exactly that! So you should be able to allow the PK to be able to send and receive data to the phone by this method. Of course, it would have to be the responsibility of the phone owner to establish what command sequences do what to their particular model; you guys couldn't be expected to support every Nokia in the universe! But the ability to communicate with Bluetooth devices at a deeper level than we currently have would be superb if your team could give the idea some thought for a future Keysoft version.
Cheers.

If the menu is not sent in the first place, there would be no data for the PK to receive.
