Is there anyway to connect a handsfree kit to the phone via bluetooth (for my car) but still play the music etc through the earphone plug (again to go to the aux on the car as it doesnt support bluetooth side just the phone)
I have tried but everytime it connects bluetooth it cuts off the earphone!
go into your BT settings on your phone, for that car kit. There might be an option for BT headphone as well as hands free.
Turn off the headphone option.

May sound like a strange request but i want to use an fm transmitter so i can listen to stuff through my car stereo but also want to be able to use my bluetooth car kit, question is if i plug in the headset and adaptor which i plan to make will this then be seen as a handsfree kit and stop the bluetooth kit working
Anyone know before i buy the bits
Thanks
Chris
Just tried it out, bluetooth car kit works for all telephone calls and all music and device sounds come through the headphones, when the phone rings the music mutes and the call comes through the car kit, very clever until you hang up the call, then the music does not come back through the head phones, you have to unplug them and plug them back in again, very strange

I've got a BT stereo headset (HTC S100) and also BT in my car (Ford). I'm not trying to use them simultaneously (no point), I just want the headset to work properly when I'm using that and then when I get in my car I want the Tytn to connect to my car BT and to work properly with that. At the moment if I want to use my headset I have to go into BT settings and untick "Handsfree" for the car BT device and soft-reset, then I have to do some tinkering on the headset and make a phonecall before it will kick in and behave. Then when I want to use it in my car I have to DELETE the headset from my BT devices (unticking the boxes is not enough), check the "Handsfree" option under the Ford BT device and then soft-reset before it will work.
Why the hell can't the phone just use the headset properly when that's on and connected and then when I'm in the car use the Ford BT properly? Why does having two devices configured interfere with eachother when they're not actually being used simultaneously?!! It's ridiculous, I reckon it's the MS BT stack, what a load of $hite!
Any ideas what I can do? I've tried the JETware handsfree extension, has made no difference.
Has anyone been able to get their Nexus to connect to their bluetooth headset, and also stream music to another device without skipping? I like to stream music while driving but I need the headset too.
It is working for me, at the moment my n1 is connected to my bluetooth headset and streaming music to my laptop via a2dp. no skipping. PC is showing up as connected to media audio and headset is showing up as connected to phone audio.
I paired and connected the bluetooth headset first, then the pc. once i connected the pc, the headset disconnected, but was still paired. I then reconnected the headset and the pc remained connected.
I would make a call to test, but it is a bit late here.

Thanks for the reply. When I do nearly the same process for my car I notice that it streams Pandora without any skips. The skips only occur when I play MP3s and even then it only happens once every 10 seconds or so.
Maybe it has to do with how often the headset and phone "refresh" with each other. I have a Blueant Z9, what headset were you using?
I'm using a Plantronics Explorer 233. Nothing fancy, I bought it a year ago for $30.
I haven't been able to run my factory handsfree (BMW) and a separate A2DP to work perfectly. Music always skips. If I turn Wifi off, it's an improvement, but still skips.
Also, my handsfree is pretty aggressive. Even if I disconnect it, it'll reconnect on its own. Only way to disable it is if I unpair it.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but i had a look and couldn't find what i'm after.
Basically, my HD2 connects automatically to my car's bluetooth handsfree kit. My handsfree kit doesn't support A2DP so I still need to use the headphone socket to listen to music from the phone through the stereo. However, if the phone has paired with the car, the headphone socket doesn't work and the stereo thinks I'm getting a call when i try and play music.
Is there any way I can enable music through the headphone socket while the phone is paired to the handsfree kit?
Thanks!
anyone? it's really annoying!
This may not be the answer your looking for but have you tried cutting out the middle man i.e. the BT handsfree kit. Just use your phone and it'll patch a call thru the headphones and cancel the music.
Saves removing the headphones each time you get a call.
In BT manager, when you select your car device, what services do you have? If there's a stereo one, untick it.
Nope, just the headset profile. I've also tried turning on/off the option to send system sounds over bluetooth, but no joy. It just seems that as soon as it connects to the car, the headphone socket is disabled.....
OK, so I think the problem was either the tape adapter I was trying to use was playing up or during my messing about with settings I changed something.... either way it appears to be ok with headphones so should be fine with a line in
Hi guys!
So, the Xperia support A2DP just fine, also in combination with my car stereo (a Pioneer Avic D3BT set). However, I find that when I start playing audio (doesn't matter if this is music or satnav guidance) before I start the car (and hence the stereo set), not only will the audio not be re-routed to the stereo, but the phone also fails to connect with the A2DP part. Phone audio (headset profile) is connected OK, though.
Is this normal behaviour/has anyone seen the same behaviour?
Oh, and if anyone has a way of transferring contact to the phonebook of the car, I'd be delighted to hear about it. For me, it will immediately disconnect if I even attempt to transfer a phonebook item.
Hey Stampot. I have a Pioneer BROWSE system(BTB200) and I have the same problem. I find if I activate the phone bt after the car is on, A2DP connects fine. But if I do it the other way around,I only get phone audio. To fix I either have to disable/enable the phone bt or (the faster way) toggle the a2dp option. I'm hoping a de/firmware upgrades fixes the prob.

Its works better when u start the car first and that should not be a problem, shouldn't????
Its the same with every Bluetooth Headset. U can do it with the other way, but u must choose the Audioconnection in the Bluetoothsettings manually.
