Hey all, just have a question.
I have a liquid aux bluetooth receiver in my car, it plugs into the power outlet and the aux port in my car. It connects about half the time when I turn my car on, but I hate having to go thru the menus to connect it manually.
Is there any way I can have it connect to the car maybe using a widget so it's only 1 click, or any other alternative method I'm unaware of to connect to this one specific bluetooth piece? I don't use a headset or anything, just this 1 piece.
I tried using tasker to automate it but couldn't make it work every time, made it worse in fact.
I guess no one knows then. Anyway, shameless bump

I would like to purchase a new cd head unit for my car and use my Zune Pass on my WP7 to play all my music via USB.
Why USB and not 3.5mm aux cable?
I would like to be able to charge my WP7 device and control volume/play/pause/etc from the car CD head unit rather than my WP7 device
Right now, the only CD head units I know of that are capable of this with Zune devices is 2 head units from Kenwood:

Has anyone tried this or have another method to get this to work?
thanks
I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish is doable, and it's unlikely that it will be. The Win7 phones, at this time, don't have a standard Zune connector, which has specific pinouts for different functions, such as, passing audio, charging, basically controlling functions, etc. (much like the pinout on the iPods/iPhone)
Since all of the phones, at this time, have just USB mini/micro connectors, there has to be a driver associated on the receiver/computer/other device that knows how to communicate with the phone, process what you're trying to accomplish, and basically have digital two-way communication.
The more likely way, is to have a bluetooth enabled head deck, that allows two-way control (I'm pretty sure these are out, not sure about the two way), and a separate car charger...
Anyone else have any input that might help?
I have a kenwood BT-900 car stero that suports the zune hd through the USB port
it works awsome
I now have the WP7 and my kenwood does not see the phone at all only thorugh bluetooth but still does not do music streaming like to should
I beleave the will be testing the new phone out but as you know they don't tell me very much, all I know is the 2 of the support reps ordered WP7s and thought it would work fine but in fact it does not
I'm sure they will have some fix soon I'm hoping

thank you for posting this, I was researching to buy that particular kenwood strictly for this reason. you just saved me a couple hundred dollars.
My car is a Peugeot, about 2 years ago i installed an Extension Box so I can use an USB-Stick to listen to my music. (It uses the external CD-Case Port on the Radio.)
The small box also enabled to connect I-Pod and I-Phone and was able to browse & play from them.
When I connect my WP7 it beeps all the time and can't even load the battery.
As I know, the box writes a playlist on any USB drive which is connected so I suppose WP7 simply doesn't allow this =(.
Hopefully this will be changed by some kind of driver.
I have a KDC-BT8041U in my truck. I connect to it via Bluetooth and use a usb charger when needed. I usually just hit the random play button (the two music notes in a circle on main screen) in Zune Music and then I can use the remote or on dash controls of my Kenwood to skip forward and backward through the songs. I can also pause and mute. The only down side is it does not show song title, artist, etc. on the screen of the stereo and I can't search for specific songs using the stereo. But it is still much better sound quality then AUX jack and you wont have to get caught with your phone in your hands while driving. (illegal where I live)
Another cool feature about this is the music fades out when you get an incoming text or call then resumes after your done. Be sure to go to settings, speech and enable speech recognition over the network, then at the bottom turn Read aloud incoming text messages to bluetooth so you can respond to your text messages using your voice. Work really good.
Guys, you are searching unreal things. It's not a Zune player, it a diffirent device at hardware and connectivity too.
Only one way to use our phone in car is a Bluetooth. It work good, as headset and throught A2DP for hearing music and control playback from car hi-fi.
Does anyone know of a car stereo that allows (2) simultaneous bluetooth connections? Ive searched and obviously, they will allow multiple connections... but not at the same time.
Here is why I ask. I would like to use my Tab in its new Samsung car mount for media playing. But since I also still need to have a phone, I would like THAT to connect also.
Im asking for too much arent I? Anyone try a 1/8th inch audio plug to RCA cable? I guess I could plug the TAB in via the AUX port on my car stereo when its in the dock.
Anyone had any success? Any ideas? Am I crazy?

My Sony DSXS300BTX connects to both my Captivate for phone and my GTab for music. It will switch source when a call comes in, and resume playing when the call is done (can't recall if it pauses or just mutes the music though).
My girl's Kenwood DNX5160 can also do dual BT connections for phone+music.
Thanks guys, I will check these out... I was dreading having to use the wired aux output!
When I get in my car my phone connects to my stereo automatically and all and all the A2DP functions work great. Only thing is I normally keep my phone on vibrate, and multimedia sound off so I don't accidentally make noise in an inappropriate place. The problem with this split setting for sound in android is I can't just bind the two and either put my phone with audio on or off generally. Is there a way to turn off multimedia sound with I connect to my stereo and turn it back off when I disconnect? My old wm phones did this no problem.
thanks!

Check the app "car dock settings"

Perfect. Only problem is I use a generic phone holder and usb power supply... how does it know its docked?
*edit* solution might be found... the same people who make car dock settings have bluedock 3 which does the same using the bluetooth profile (similar to Advanced Audio Manager once combined with "car dock settings")
I also found Toggle Settings|Profiles Lite which might work... I will try them all and report in case anyone ever asks the same question and falls on this thread
**second edit, reporting on the apps**
Toggle Settings\Profiles Lite works great. It takes up about 1mb ram rather than 150k compared to car dock settings and another 100k for bluedock 3, but its a free all-in one package that is MUCH more powerful and versatile. With the lite version you get 3 "Rules", I used one to make my car settings based on connecting and disconnecting from my stereo.It allows me to change just about anything on connect\disconnect and lets me create two other rule sets I could want (and as many as I want if I pay for the full version). I strongly recommend this app to anyone and everyone who wants to have automated location\connection\event\time based actions. The only down side is it takes about 15 seconds for the bluetooth to register as being connected (so be patient), but I think this is part of android because wifi-related events are instant.
So here's what I wanna do -
I want to use the galaxy 7.7 (preferred this model just because its the only galaxy with call function) instead of the stock head unit in my car. I was thinking of going completely wireless and streaming the audio to my car amp via a bluetooth receiver. But what would happen when I receive a call? the sound will be streamed to my amp, but what happens with the audio in / microphone ?
Would it be enough to speak straight to the tab's microphone? will the microphone be enabled at all?
The other option, which i prefer less is to run wires to my amp rather than using a bluetooth receiver, and via bluetooth connect to a hands free car kit (but this means I would have to plug in the audio each time as I wont leave the tab in my car ever)...
Any suggestions on how to get this done?
PS is there any hack available to use the call function on the galaxy tab 10.1?
Thanks!!
Unless you have some sort of amplifier that received power and signal wirelessly, you're going to need some kind of line output converter to get audio out of the gtab 7.7 and into your amp. What you're talking about doing, if I'm understanding you correctly simply can not be done.
Work well with audio cable ^^ tested calling or streaming from 7.7

well, using an audio cable to extract the audio would be along the lines of a line output converter, like I said before
what the OP is talking about is having something that's completely wireless, that will act as a source unit and interface with his amplifier ... wirelessly. Simply just won't work that way.
I have considered doing this (just ordered a GT 6800) but see now that there are android head units starting to come out. Still, you can always use bluetooth to connect the GT to your sound system. It will have good stereo sound and also have the mic input.
Here's my set up: Tab 7.0 plus wifi only but I use a hotspot on the road. I'm using cables to connect audio but thought about bluetooth, but I think you get better sound with cables maybe not! why buy a head unit $800.00 that doesn't give you a 1/4 of the functionality you get with the Tab.
Sorry forgot to post picture
i use bluetooth for my audio because i like the way i can use my steering wheel controls to do next/previous track on the tablet.
The audio is fine for me, but current bluetooth still not as good audio-wise as a real cable. If you use a cable and power the tablet at the same time you may get a hum - if so, put a PAC SN1 to reduce the ground-loop interference.
Bandzdaddy - It looks like Torque app, am i right? I use that as well because my turbo car didn't come with a boost gauge and Torque let's me have a virtual one!

I have this old tablet laying about and have seen some videos on YouTube about using a tablet for stereo.
I have an 06 expedition that doesn't have aux input, and placing tablet against stock head unit, it would be a perfect fit as a replacement.
Automation is what I'm looking for. Sprint gives me free tethering, and my note 9 has Good Lock installed. I have it set up paired to my tablet so when the bluetooth connects to tablet, it turns on bluetooth tether. But I can't seem to find either a marshmallow rom to run older version of good lock, or a version of good lock that runs on lollipop.
I do have paid version of tasker, but I don't know how to set it up for when it sees charger connected, to turn on bluetooth and then force connect to my note 9, and then launch pandora. Then when charger disconnects, turn off bluetooth and task kill pandora (it just pauses, or switches to offline mode when data connection lost and doesn't un-pause when launched again so task kill is necessary)
I would get factory plug for aftermarket head unit, and put 12v to 5v step down USB on accessory wire so it would "charge" when key is turned on, being my trigger for good lock to turn bluetooth on/off or tasker.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be grateful.
