I have been searching long and hard to find a working solution to make my PDA work with my car stereos bluetooth, my stereo is able to use both audio bluetooth and headset bluetooth with live info like signal strength, battery and more.
Dose anyone else have trouble with make PDA's work with car stereos?
I have tryed to contact Both phone maker and stereo maker, both tell me it is not campatable due to the type of bluetooth in each are different. The ones in a PDA are the same as the ones in PC, and in regular phones it is a dumb down version and the same goes with car stereos it a dumb down version and the send signals differently.
SO ANYONE FOUND A FIX?
ANYONE WANT A FIX?
Never tryed it
If u guys get it working let me know
I have a At&t Tilt wm6 cell
you could use something like the R35 clip bluetooth and plug that into an auxillary input wired to your car stereo. Then your PDA bluetooth can sync up with the R35 bluetooth thingy and would be input into your car stereo...
i assume you have a BMW tho with built in bluetooth which would not work.
and by different version of bluetooth they probably mean like v1.1 or v1.2. i dunno if that'd make it not work but it is probably a culprit.
I do not have an auxillary input on my car. And as far as the bluetooth they are different chipsets with different ver also.
Has anyone been able to connect to a car stereo. (Aftermarket Stereo)
I have a Pioneer AVIC-D3
I dont have an external solution, i actually have a Head Unit that has BT built in. It is a sony series reciever. WORKS GREAT! i use it everyday. One of the best purchases i made for my POS car.
Seconded -- I have the Sony MEX-5000BT and its BT performance is better than any headset/headphones I've ever used.
Maybe I need to buy a sony, as pioneer knows about its compatability issues and are not releaseing a firmware update to it. Any other stereos out there that work. I have had issues with sony headsets. I am a real big fan of pioneer and this new head unit I have.
I know there must be a way.
There just has to be.
I will find one you just wait and watch.
I Found It!
I have fond the solution and did not even know it.
I have been working with a friends CAB file trying to make it work in a OEM folder install.
I just happend to ask him what the cab file was.
Check it out.

I have already tried it and it works great.
Infact before when I would connect to my stereo with any phone and the phone would ring it would ring the generic tone. With this plugin, it rings the personalized ringtones have for people. This is cool and all for only $15.
Hope this helps out others.

yup, i have the same one. dont know how i lived before i had it.
Also, this unit does allow for ringtone passthrough to you car speakers along with anything else that you can get notifs through BT. The only downside for notifs is that you have to be on the stereo BT function on the radio. Calls will come through reguardless of the function you are using.
I am currently running Dudes 1.1 cupcake right now and loving every
part of it except that I can't seem to listen to my music via mono bluetooth. I have a few regular bluetooths for talking and would like to listen to my music thru them also. I read about stereo bluetooth working and all, but does it not work on mono bluetooth.
Please help..
Also, if I must get a stereo bluetooth, can you suggest were to go to get a cheap good one that will work. Thanks
bluetooth music help
someone really needs to help please.. Stuck using a standard MP3 player with CORDED headphones. .. Please guide me to getting bluetooth mono/stereo on my DUDE'S CUPCAKE ...
i wish i could get this to work as well, i have a phenominal bluetooth headset (mono) and am allowed to wear it around at work all day (but no stereo headphones) since its a product we sell, and would love to be able to listen to my mp3's aswell
Previously used a blackberry pearl with crackberry software to run MONO BLUETOOTH for my music. Now I lost that with G1. I LOVE my G1, so don't get me wrong. I just wish they had something to offer mono bluetooth music. If they did, I swear it would be perfect thanks to DUDES Cupcake.
Yep, i would like to know this to. I know it can be done because you can force the sound after the call for like 10 to 20 seconds then it goes out.

There are mono headsets that support a2dp ,why not buy one of them instead of trying to re-write the code
http://shopper.cnet.com/headsets/jabra-bt8010-stereo-mono/4014-13831_9-32327768.html
I could but I like my Motorola H690
more HELP
I am caving in.. I will buy a Stereo Bluetooth headset, if i am guarenteed it will work on DUDE's CUPCAKE 1.1a .. I see on the comparision chart that it doesn't support stereo bluetooth for music.. Can someone please confirm or deny this..
If confirmed, what is the cheapest bluetooth i can buy that will play my music.
If DUDE's doesnt support, what can you recommend to install to work Stereo/Mono bluetooth. I was leaning towards jf 1.51, but i would love to keep DUDE's
Thanks again
Dudes build will work with stereo bluetooth because my car's head unit will accept it and works great just not with my mono motorola headset.
Hate to bring up a older thread but I am wondering if anyone has found a way to do this. I dont want to buy a a new bluetooth because i have no use for them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
^Bump. I would like to know as well.
When I pair my phone with the Bluetooth (Plantronics 925) and select options - I see it connected to phone audio and media audio. But when I play music (stock player), it plays through the speakers. I did try a Google search on this, but not seeing a solution to it
Ok, I'm looking for some way to route the audio of my Magic to a mono BT headset. I have been searching the threads and Google for days now and unless I'm blind (come to think of it I've been called this before) I can't find any app for this purpose. I had a program called BT Audio for my WM phone that worked like a charm. Anyone got any ideas or up for the challenge to making an app let me know?
Android 1.5 introduced A2DP support, so all you should need to do is pair the device and fire up the music app (might be a couple more settings in between, but AFAIK it's a simple pairing job). So I'm wondering if your headset doesn't support A2DP and that WinMo app was channeling audio through the regular headset profile.

Your right my headset doesn't support A2DP (It's cheep ). I know it is possible though, cause sometimes when I am using an app or game with audio and someone calls in I hear the audio through the BT headset for a sec before the phone connects.
WinMo had a few different apps for this so I'm surprised that I haven't been able to find anything for android yet. I didn't think it would be that hard to do.
It could be that its built in to the ROM that I have and I just haven't found the settings for it yet. I'm using the My Hero ROM. If anyone knows Let me know.
Hi!
Once you pair your device (on my Cyan ROM anyway...) you can go into the BT settings, long select the device you just paired with, choose options and if it supports X feature on the BT profile (in this case, audio) then there will be a check box that you can click to enable that function/feature.
Other than that, you might have some luck searching the Market for an app similar to BT Audio. I used to have a Shadow and I know exactly what app you are talking about, all in all though I was less than impressed with the meager selection of apps I had available compared to what I have now; and definitely even the out-of-box experience is light years ahead of any WM experience. What I ended up doing instead was just grabbed a new Stereo BT headset and problem was solved There was one on http://www.woot.com a little while ago that I'm loving (LG BT250 I think?).
Good luck!

ive also been looking for this, cant find it either though

I wish I could . I didn't mean the one I have was cheap in the way of money cause it cost me $80. Cheap in that it was the cheapest of the headsets that I could get with voice recognition built in as I work and drive around a lot of noise. I didn't want to pay the $130 for the good one.
I wonder if there is anyone with the right skills out there that can write a app like this. hint hint.
I do appreciate all the work that goes into making these cool app that I use every day so if nothing shows up, I guess I'll have to live without.
Thanks guys!

Dunno, I think they just want to advertise the site in their sig...
I have a stereo Bluetooth headset (Plantronics 855) that works great with the Droid; however, there are times when I want to sent A2DP to my Jawbone Prime, which is not A2DP compatible. The profile only shows phone audio when selecting the device in the Android BT manager. What needs to happen to transmit full audio to a non-A2DP headset is enabling SCO (Synchronous Connection-Oriented) connection. I have searched everywhere I cannot find a software gateway that enables this feature in the Droid. There is an app in the market called Sound Route Switcher that claims to enable this but then blames Android for is application not working with Bluetooth.
I will keep looking and post anything that I find but I am stumped to this point.
Thanks dbigdawg
There's a little Greek in there for me, but I appreciate the effort and I'm sure many others will too. Look forward to what you can find.
Hate to bring back an OLD thread, but has there been a solution found?
Last I looked was back in April.........................Nothing
But like I said before I have been known to be blind to anything past the end of my nose!
I really miss being able to listen to music all day and not have on headphones.
Thanks for the reply bud. Maybe with some luck I can see if I can find that old file I had that was supposed to work, but didn't on 1.5. Now that I use 2.1, it might be a different situation. If I can locate it I'll post it here.
Hi, there is a new app named "Super BT Mono" which could route audio to bluetooth mono earpiece. It might be what you are looking for.
Thanks
Thanks for the info. That Super BT Mono did the trick for me.
So I love my incredible...best phone ever...haha. Which is why I'm making all these changes to accommodate it!
I was playing with it yesterday, and I ran pandora and navigation at the same time- during which, I called myself, and the phone call went thru. No freezes, no glitches, nothing. So Instead of just having cords galore when plugging into my car. Can I just buy a bluetooth cardeck and sync it with my phone and go from there?
Has/Is anyone doing this now? Advice is always appreciated- Thanks in advance!
I have a PIONEER FH-P800BT and its great. Bluetooth works great for calls and A2DP streaming. When streaming audio alerts come through also, so you may want to pick some that arent too obnoxious. Ipod controls work pretty well too if your into that sort of thing.
I use a bt stereo too. It works awesome. People can here me well and I stream music all the time. As soon as proclip comes out with the Incredible device holder, I'll be all set. I use a JVC KD-BT1 head unit.
I am using a Kenwood BT200 and I also seem to have no issues with music and phone calls
I don't have my Incredible just yet but I've been using a Motorola T505 Bluetooth in my car since before I got my G1 and haven't had any issues with it. Had it about two years now. It has a built-in FM Transmitter so I'll listen to Pandora or my own music through my car stereo even when people call me I'll hear it through the speakers. No one ever reported not being able to hear me clearly when using it.
I was thinking about this some more and the more I think about it, the more I don't think Pandora will play via bluetooth. You will definitely be able to play from your library

Yep, pandaora and slacker work via a2dp
Yes. I have DUAL head unit and works fine with A2DP BlueTooth with my Incredible and yes Pandora plays thru A2DP with no problem. So, go ahead and do what ever U R thinking of doing.
awesomee..thanks everyone..so i really just need to find a unit that has A2DP..cool. I was wondering what the difference between call placing and audio streaming in terms of bluetoothin' !!
I just ordered a Motorola T605 for my car (2001 RX300 without nav) and a Parrot MKi9000 for my wife's car (2006 saturn ion). I would have prefered to get the moto for both (since it's $100 cheaper), but her radio doesn't have a mute switch and probably would have been harder to install. I'm going to do the install in the coming weeks myself.
Kenwood DNX6140 BT setup works great
I have the kenwood unit in my Trailblazer EXT and got the car bracket at VZW store. The suction cup places the phone way out of convient reach any way you try so I use the holster part with a vent clip that I had from another mount from an XM unit I tossed in favor of Pandora. Nav, Pandora, anything else runs fast and flawlessly, phone calls great.

I have a 2012 Buick Enclave and a 2009 Honda Accord, both vehicles support Bluetooth phone calls, can dial my phone access a phone book etc to make calls through the vehicles stereo system, but I can't play music or media through them. Is there anyway or any apk that I can change the media output to look like it's a phone call instead and play music etc through also? I've seen other people ask this question in the past and haven't found any answers. Thanks!

I'm probably one of those users that asked the question and never got an answer.
I bought one of these: http://amzn.com/B0038MA11U and it works great. Personally... I think I prefer my setup (below) to using an app that modifies the bluetooth stream. Mostly because I couldn't find one... but also because I'm not so sure what would happen if you got a phonecall. As in, the audio might keep playing, or the call may not go through. Perhaps the audio stream would be all your caller could hear.
I've got a 2009 BMW 335ix, and the iDrive system only supports bluetooth over the phone stream. I've actually successfully called myself and played audio during my voicemail... and it will play over the car speakers. However, it will shut off after a few minutes (voicemail time limit), and I had to delete that voicemail. Far from ideal, but a successful proof of concept. lol
If your car has an auxiliary stereo input (headphone jack), then you can use that item I linked you to (or something similar... there are a few out there). In my case, my AUX jack is in the center console, near a 12V plug. So... I got a cigarette lighter-to-2xUSB adapter, a REALLY SHORT USB cable, and a REALLY SHORT stereo minijack cable, and it all fits rather nicely in the center console. The other USB port on the adapter is occupied by my phone charger. I made sure to get a low-profile usb adapter with one 2-amp port to get the most current flow to my phone.
If you've wondered this question yet... You CAN be connected to more than 1 bluetooth item at a time. I'm successfully connected to my car via the phone stream and the miccus on the media stream every day. If I get a call while listening to media, the media stream will stop and I can answer the phone. (This is built into Android, I believe) If you've got a Note 3, then I'm 99% sure you'll have the same experience.
Good luck!

Excited, I followed this link. Google Play said I have it installed. I don't even remember installing the app, so I'm pretty sure it didn't work for me.
I installed it again to try it out later today on my way home. Perhaps I'll have better luck with it this time.
**UPDATE*** As soon as I opened it, it said I have to upgrade to "Bluetooth Manager ICS" which costs a dollar. Without being able to try the app before buying it... I'm uninstalling again. Maybe next time I come across it, I'll remember the issue I had with it.
Thanks guys I'll look into these options and try to find out more info on that apk!

When I click on the pairing of my 2009 Ford Fusion Sync in the Note 3's Bluetooth settings, there are check marks for "Phone audio" and "Media audio". Both are checked. If I want to play media audio or have turn by turn directions through the car audio system, then I have to change the audio input on the car with the "Aux" button to "Bluetooth Audio". The phone function still works after I do this. Check your pair settings and "Aux" setting.

Ya I had a Ford Edge and could do that to Ford's Sync is a nice system. Sadly though most other manufacturers don't support media through Bluetooth though that's what we were trying to figure out how to override. I read somewhere that they do this as a safety precaution, how it's safer than plugging in my aux cable and I have no idea lol

In 2009, your Fusion w/ SYNC was MUCH more technologically advanced than my 2009 3-series. I know because my wife had a 2009 Milan, which is pretty much the same car. She loved teasing my about how my BMW was so inferior. lol. And she was right. BMW only had compatibility with Apple products (as an option), and not through bluetooth. Only through USB. The car itself only has compatibility as a bluetooth speakerphone on the phone stream. I can't parse a "media" stream. If I had an iPhone (blech)... I could access my messages and everything... but it's not supported on my Note 3. Honestly... I kind of want to trade it in because of all this. I didn't realize it when I bought the car, and now I have the bluetooth adapter plugged into the AUX port and I've grown complacent.

Ya, that's surprising...

I just have a normal radio with aux and usb ports. I bought an adapter call the Himbox from iClever on Amazon. It supports both hands free calling and bluetooth audio (actually good quality sounding audio). It even comes with a double usb 12v adapter. It was only around $40 if I remember correctly. I have the phone media part of it turned off since I drive a very noisy big truck, but I also have a high quality hands free noise cancelling headset that I just use for phone calls (media audio unchecked) . I leave both connected while driving. When a call comes in, I just answer it with my headset and it pauses the media receiver and my headset functions like normal...once I hang up, it resumes playing.
