Is it possible to play music or other MP3 files through the BT connection in my car? I have a 2006 BMW 325 and I can get the car to dial through my phone, but is there a way to play media files over the blue tooth phone connection?
Any help or information would be great. Thanks.
Happy New Year!
It depends on your car stereo... it has to support the A2DP bluetooth profile. I have a Pioneer AVIC-D3 and it supports A2DP, so I can stream music to the stereo. It works really well.

I have a wired car kit connected to my QTEK 2020 / 1.75.00WWE/1.18.00. When I make or receive a phone call, my car radio is muted and I hear the audio clearly. However, as soon as the phone call ends, the car radio plays up again and the device audio is no longer routed to the car kit.
Is there a way to manually route ALL audio to the car kit, e.g.:
The music when I listen to Windows Media Player
The audio (microphone!) when using Voice command 1.5
The directions TomTom Navigator is reading
It seems to me that there must be a way to manually (programmatically?) activate the external audio. I tried VJVolubilis -agon, but if I'm correct, that only works with bluetooth headsets, not with wired car kits.
I currently use a Holux Bluetooth GPS device with TomTom on my Vario, which works fine. I connect the phone's headphone socket into my old car stereo via a cassette adaptor for both music and TomTom speach, and I use the inline mike in the adaptor cable for handsfree phone calls. It all works fine.
However, my new car will have a CD player only (no cassette) so I was thinking of getting a little Bluetooth audio receiver to cut down on the cables and transfer the audio wirelessly from the phone to a box plugged into the new car radio's AUX input. Will both Bluetooth devices work simultaneously, so I can have TomTom using its bluetooth GPS module at the same time as the phone outputting audio to the other bluetooth device?
And what about handsfree use, is there anything that will allow me to also use the same bluetooth setup as a handsfree device, as I'll no longer have any microphone in the cable, since there won't be a cable...!
I know what I want to do, just not sure how to do it. Thanks for any help folks.

Any thoughts on this anyone?
I tried it out in a shop using a Sony car radio with Bluetooth support, and it played MP3s fine using PocketMusic once I'd paired the devices. The Sony's ">>" and "<<" keys even selected next/previous tracks perfectly.
However as soon as I started TomTom (v6), the audio only came from the phone's built-in speakers. Even after then exiting TomTom and restarting PocketMusic, the sound still came from the built-in speakers only.
So, any thoughts on how to get TomTom's voices to play via the car stereo using Bluetooth A2DP?

Not sure about this - I tried on my Wizard with WM5 to have two BT devices simultaneously. Holux 236 GPSlim and Jabre 620s results in extreme skipping. Maybe tuning down the data rate for the BT-Audio could do the trick, which I haven't tried yet.
Fm transmitter
Get a Fm transmitter plugs into the headphone socket and you can tune your car radio to pick up the signal i use one get one on flybay for £5
Hmm, maybe I should just upgrade to a Vario III (Kaiser) which has GPS built in? Or just stick with the old-fashioned solution of a 3.5mm jack cable.

If I understand the question right (if not sorry), you're wanting to run 2 different bluetooth devices at once but can't. If so it's the radio. My moms Acura TL allows multiples devices (my phone and hers). But my 2011 Forte wont. I paired my Ipod touch and my phone and if I'm playing music the phone wont work. I have to change devices on the cars audio system.
Hey guys,
Does anyone have experience with this head unit?
I am getting this head unit in the mail and i wanted to know if it works as advertised with the mogul. I want to use it as a BT speakerphone and stream sirius.
Are there any tricks or tips for use with this head unit?
I am REALLY excited about it but I want to be prepared for it in case there are things I need to know.
Thanks guys!
Pioneer Premier DEH-980BT
I have the DEH-980BT (first model with bluetooth). Make sure you pair the pioneer head unit with your phone and after pairing register the phone in the pioneer unit (read the pioneer instructions) if you still have problems change the following registries in your phone
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\SYS\COD
Change to 5898764
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTAGPBModule
Change OEM to \Windows\BthAGPhonebook.dll
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTAGExtModule
Change OEMAGW.DLL to \Windows\vcbthag.dll
You might still have problems setting both hands free and wireless stereo at the same time. I only have only hands free set on my phone and its works great.
I have the DEH-7900BT and it works flawlessly. I have to initiate the pair from the phone in order to get things setup, but once I have paired them the phone auto connects every time I get in the car and both the handsfree and stereo audio work as advertised. AVRCP even works correctly.
speaking of pioneer HU
has anyone tried the OEL screensaver studio appz ?
is there a site of people's creation available on the net ?
i can't find anything about it.
BTW, i have the 980BT unit and its top notch !
wait, so this radio has bluetooth streaming music right??, because i bought the Pioneer DEH 6250 BT and it doesn't have that function so i sold this 6250 to my friend and i was looking for this one 7900 because i thought it would bluetooth streaming music audio
why would one not use a cheap FM transmitter to do the audio to stereo? They charge the phone, use less power, and are like 4$ on amazon?
FM Transmitters SUCK!
1. Audio quality is crap compared to BT2
2. No A2DP support with a FM transmitter (on screen track info on your stereo, track fwd/back control, etc)
3. Noisy interference with other cars, towers etc.
Hi, I am having problems when I bluetooth my HD2 with the Ford Mondeo and try to use TT7.
There is No Voice from the handset.
But when I turn off bluetooth I can hear.
Has anyone had this problem or know how to get around this?
Thanks!!!
As far as I know the Ford Sound&Connect Bluetooth Modukle does only support Voice like from noemal phonecalls (no idea how to protocoll is called at the moment).
My Mondeo is build in 2007. So I have the bluetooth module but no sound&connect. Does yours normally support a2dp? Can you listen to mp3s, streamed to your Mondeo? I guess no but would be interesting to know.
In case you can hear audio (not phonecalls) at the mondeo, streamed from your hd2 this would mean its a timing problem. Tomtom is "saying" something but the bluetooth connection needs to time to come back from standby. In that case you could simply listen to an mp3 file without any sound and try it again in parrallel.
A bit hard to explain for me but maybe it helps.
Feedback is much welcome!
I've got a ford mondeo (8 months old) and unfortunately it doesn't have the ability to stream audio via bluetooth.
Phone connects to my car via bluetooth for calls only as headunit doesn't do audio.
I want to add a bluetooth receiver to the car for audio (belkin bluetooth caraudio connect) while still be able to use my headunit for calls.
Is this possible? Or will the phone only allow one audio device at a time?
I would only be using one audio device at a time, but they would both need to be constantly connected
Did you double check that audio is enabled for your car bluetooth? In the N4's settings.
And after trying, I can't get 2 BT devices to connect at the same time.
I have 2 bluetooth devices currently connected to my N4, jabra wave headset for phone audio and jambox for media audio, works perfectly. Just have to go into the bluetooth profiles for each and disable the audio you don't want (ie phone audio for headunit, and media audio for belkin) Not 100% sure it will work with your devices, but certainly can be done with some.
