I have an 8525 and I have an external FM transmitter which has an USB input. I am trying to go from my 8525 to the transmitter so I can listen from the handset on my radio. When I plug in the factory headset I get sound out of the headset. When I plug a mini USB into the same place the sound still comes out of the handset. How can I switch the sound to the USB so I can port that to the transmitter and hence to my radio and eventually to my motorcycle helmet? I realize that there must be a trick or else when synced you would not hear a ring or when charging, but I can not figure out what it is.
What brand/model is the transmitter?
transmitter
The problem is not the transmitter. It works fine with my mp3 player. The problems is that when hooked up the phone still sends the signal to the onboard speaker. The plug will redirect only for the headset included not any other usb attachment.

hi, i was wondering if there is a wat to connect my wizard to my car stereo and play mp3's from wy wizard stored on memory card but play them using my car speakers setting my radio to AUX ? is is possible..i hope you all got what i mean cos i am not sure myself if i know what i mean cheers, cudo
I use a Sony Adapter Casette. Just plug it in the Universal and play the casette on your car and it will work fine. There are other options too like wireless stuff. But I prefer this method better, at least I don't have to worry about signal being obscured.
and what if i dont have casettee i got only cd ??
If you only have CD and no casette, you only either use BT or FM transmitter.
I used to use casette adapter but now I have a car stereo with AUX input.
If you also want to be able to receive calls you would need to have an adapter with a mic as a normal audio plug when plugged into the Universal will disable the internal mic and only carry over the output audio.
See this link, we discuss about the correct adapter for Universal in the lower part. I should receive one in this week and will post the result later once I verify its working fine.

Which PPC are you using, Wizard or Universal? You subject title is about Universal but your message body is asking about Wizard.
They have different size of audio plugs.
sorry i wasnt very specific...i am asking about unicersal, i am using both of them hence the mistake. sorry about that
Good news. I received the PQTAA from PC-Mobile and it works with the Universal!
I have tested all functions with my Universal:
- Stereo audio output is carried perfectly to the car stereo, no noise whatsoever.
- Microphone is working great, my voice can be heard clearly.
- The call receive button on the unit is working ok too to receive/pick up incoming call.
This is a great audio adapter (in addition to the fact its a handsfree unit).
I find its a lot better way to connect the Universal to the car audio system rather than using other method like BT.
As most car mounting solutions do not include audio adapter to connect the Universal to the car audio system, the PQTAA is a perfect solution.
If you have a cassete player, you can combine it with the casette adapter. If you have an AUX input in your car stereo, thats the best.

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?
Andre
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.
Andre
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.
Found this on feabay today, think it is a very nice idea, and very cheap

Ever Tried it??
I Read the page and it kind of looks weird.. it says the charger does not charge the phone just the transmitter.. Also it lacks a picture of the appropriate connector..
Just wondering if anybody else has tried it?
I have ordered one, and will let you know when it arrives
I would say it does power the handset too, and the connector is Mini USB.
I have one and with the Pro it has a bug to activate the voicelabel when i play my MP3's

It seems that you could get it caught in a feeback loop if you have the FM radio set to listen to the station that you are trying to transmit on.
Wonder what it would do?...hmmm.

Well since you need headphones plugged in or the FM radio won't work, I don't think you could find out!
The Motorola T505 is really nice, though a little pricey. Its basically a bluetooth speakerphone with an FM transmitter.
So your music and calls use BT A2DP, then the T505 broadcasts that over an FM station. It'll even pick the best station and tell you to tune to it. If you're listening to music and a call comes in, it'll pause the music announce the number, and if you answer it, it'll play the call over your car speakers (like OnStar).
I've used it on a 5+ hour trip and never had to charge it, I forgot how long the battery is rated for.
In my car i´ve a CD Changer Radio without a cd changer connected. Those radios have a connection possibility (the normal connector to the changer) at the rear, where you can connect a cable which ends in a 2,5 mm (we call it "klinkenstecker", i dont know the english word). So you can buy an adapter from USB to 2,5 mm "klinke", and your TP gives great sound, in my opinion its better than the car radio ... The manufactor of the connector is called HAMA

Phone music through car stereo plus a lot more using iTech Stereo clip
I wrote a similar post a few montsh back (almost a year) in the Tilt section.
a very nifty way is getting a A2DP stereo BT headset connected to the car.
Easy as 1-2-3 if you have a car stereo with either AUX or so called iPod input (eeek). Most of these inputs are either in the center console or armrest storage compartment.
How to Step-1 (Music and Navi):
Get a cheap but good working BT headset with std. headphone out (3.5mm). I use an iTech clip 35 for example.
Get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, if you want to have handsfree at the same time get a LONG cable.
Connect iTech with AUX through cable
Start BT and activate A2DP profile (also known as stereo headset in some devices).
Start BT and AudioManager at phone and enjoy music through your car stereo.
Since A2DP will route ALL output to the BT device and therefore AUX input of your car you may listen to your voice navigation as well. Cool thing Tilt and Raphael will play music while Navi is active and mute music for Navi directions and come back...to music.
How to Step-2 (Music, Navi, Handsfree):
If you use a long 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable you can route the cable and iTech clip somewhere near your head (visor) or even behind the little grid MOST cars have meanwhile regardless if they are equipped with a handsfree BT option or not (take a look at the overhead light and consult with a good shop manual in most cases there is enough space).
Mount the clip and - voila - here is your handsfree.
Hint, if you permanently install the iTech clip extend the charging cable and use a cigarette lighter with USB port to charge.
why not use the cab bt to head phones. and mount the ptt funtion to turn on the app to forward the audio to your bt car system then no wires
Agreed but BTAudio and BTToggle messes with the phone, so how do you pick up a call?
FMTalk unit suffers from alternator whine interference

I had my PURE Highway In-Car DAB Digital Radio FM Transmitter stolen which I mainly used to transmit my TP MP3's to the car radio and needed a replacement.
So I bought a FMTalk unit for use in my 3 year old Renault Laguna but it picks up alternator whine interference and crackles too.
I tried these too but had the same whine
Belkin TuneCast II
Sendai XM800 FM Transmitter
In the end I got a Griffin iTrip Auto Universal Plus which works a treat at a reasonable price although it doesn't have the phone talk function like the more pricey Motorola T505 or Parrot MK6100.
The main point was that the FMTalk unit suffers from alternator whine interference
I'm seeing some weirdness with my HD2 when I connect the headphone socket to my car's stereo (via an aux in that I have soldered onto my head unit). Basically, as soon as the jack is connected, the phone resets itself and then works perfectly until i disconnect the jack (when it resets again).
I know the connection to the car is OK as I've tried it with other phones and MP3 players, but for some reason, the HD2 doesn't seem to like it.
Possibly worth mentioning that the phone is also connected to the car's handsfree kit via bluetooth, but this doesn't support A2DP so need the headphone output for music. Also, normal headphones seem to be OK, it's just the line in that doesn't appear to like!
Anyone else seen something similar or (even better) have a solution?!
Thanks
In short:
I have a short-range car radio transmitter onto which I can plug USB memory key, SD card, or an audio jack.
I connected it with the audio jack to my JASJAR which is mounted on a windshield. in this way I can listen to internet radio via 3G while on the road, listen to GPS commands from my car speakers and....I would like to use jasjar as a bluetooth speaker to render is trully a carputer.
I was wondering if it is possible to route my other cell phone's calls (nokia 5600s) to the JASJAR's bluetooth?
found the solution (sort of)
I found on ebay a bluetooth fm radio transmitter that can also be connected with an audio jack to jasjar. that way the telephone will suspend music and I have a bluetooth car speaker that is charged from the cigarette lighter
in any case, if anyone can tell me if you can use jasjar as a bluetooth speaker via software, I would appreciate it
