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.
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.
Is it possible to send voice commands from TOM TOM to a bluetooth enabled device?
What are the settings? I can get the voice commands to work with my Jabra headset but not my receiver...
I just got a nifty car receiver that takes A2DP music and phone calls. GPS routing over BT would complete it!
I did some more testing.
It seems that the tomtom signal comes over the A2DP bluetooth signal.
So on my car stereo, the tomtom commands will come through, only if I have the stereo on bluetooth mode. Not the best if you wish to listen to the radio.
Is there a way to force the tomtom commands over the HCP (Hands Free Profile)? That way the voice commands will be forced to the car stereo and interrupt radio play.
kww
there used to be a registry patch or program that peeps used to use to allow them to listen to music through the BT headset. This was before A2DP existed hence the need, most peeps dismissed it because it was mono and poor quality audio (like listening to your music over a phone line,) but I have a feeling it is exactly what you are looking for !
I have downloaded a couple of programs, but they don't seem to work.
What is needed is some sort of program where you can pick the software to rout the audio either to a2dp or HFP...
the software im thinking of gave the choice of routing ALL system audio (including music) via headset profile bluetooth or not, at your choice !! trust me, it is what your looking for.
Problem is, most of those programs are/were pre WM5 and don't work with WM6, BTaudionav is an example. Regardless, if you come up with a software title, let me know.

you should search in the forum for the universal, that is where I would have seen it, as that is the phone I had at the time, It shipped with WM5 but was a long time coming with a rom that supported A2DP, in the mean time these programs popped up !
just stumbled accross this

I am going to read through the entire thread, but the line of code that says:
"UseJointStereo"=dword:00000000
just turns off the A2DP; 00000001 enables.
Further, it routs all A2DP to mono.
Got through the thread, it really doesn't do what I want.
What I am trying to do is to have music port to A2DP stereo of my car receiver as normal, and have TomTom audio commands to the HFP.
That way you can play music over bluetooth, and when tomtom audio starts, it will pause music play and the tomtom command can be heard loud and clear.
As of right now here is what I can do:
TomTom audio commands via A2DP to car stereo (makes for a boring ride)
Music via A2DP to car stereo
Play both music and TomTom over A2DP, but music player is NOT interupted when a TomTom audio command comes through
I am going to search the tomtom forums, but I doubt I will have any luck there.

I see what your trying to do, and it is true there is nothing that quite manages it, the problem is that tomtom would have to be written or modified to use HFP when the commands are played, the best you could hope for is to reduce the volume of your audio to ie 70% and leave tomtom at 100%, this will make the tomtom commands really standout when they are played.
That would be a good compromise, thanks.
fwiw, I have the question into tomtom support, but doubt if those monkeys can do anything...

I hope you get a result, but as you already know, their support is useless
I have read a bit about mort script. I have to learn more, and perhaps there might be a way...
Try Teksoft BlueMusic, this routes all audio to headset.
I used to use it with Skype on the Athena, till I found Fring.
with my old n95 8gb phone i could play my mp3 files on it in the car and as it was connected to my parrott car kit i could hear it thru the cars speakers -
but i cant do it with the hero - yes the hero works perfectly with the car kit - but when you go inot the music player on it - the music only comes out fo the phone -
has anyone any ideas ?
What parrot car kit have you got? The sound from the MP3 links using A2DP BT profile (designed for highish quality stereo output) and only the latest Parrots use that (my CK3000 does not) All the others only support handsfree BT profile which is mono and poor quality. So it will not pick up the music from the Hero.
To elaborate, *some* phones will play music through the hands-free profile. iirc, I could do it on my HTC Vogue with WinMo.
You are right but I have never managed to get my Hero to. If anyone has I would be interested in hearing how. Trouble is it will be mono lo-fi quality.
At least the sat nav voices uses handsfree - on my previous WM mobile the TT voices came through A2DP and I had to get an app to change it
Correction the sat nav voices do not use handsfree profile on the Hero - I think they use A2DP and so my Parrot is unable to pick them up. However they are loud enough to hear on the phone's loudspeaker.
hey guys,
i was wondering if there is a way to listen to shoutcast radio via 3G to usb using my i5800. i have alpine cda-117 with imprint installed in my car. it has a usb connection. i want to use alpines usb to charge my i5800 and at the same time to hear sound on my car speakers using the same usb connection. is it possible?
the closest thing i did was i opened opera, pasted a link to a m3u playlist and opera asked me if i would like to save it as a mp3 file on my sd card. in other words it was saving the stream to a mp3 file but my car stereo couldn't see the sd card because it was already in use by opera. any solution ppl?
i wan't to do this because:
1. phones DAC (digital audio codec) wouln't be used. this means the sound quality would be way much better*.
2. less cables.
*the sound from my phone would be sent directly to the imprint sound processor in digital format and then decoded to analog.
thanks in advance.
Sorry but i think there is no way to do so atm... you however could do it using Bluetooth if your car stereo supports this.
my car stereo doesn't have bluetooth that is why i was asking about the usb option. thanks anyway
what app should i use to be able to play shoutcast streams via bluetooth?
