Advise a cheap watch that can connect to the HRM chest belt and output a pulse from it using the Bluetooth protocol.
Considered Amazfit Bip, but they do not have such an opportunity

I know this has been discussed to death here but when is the seido kit coming out or is it ever????
I am looking for this in a car kit any ideas, sifting through hundreds of posts I realize seidos was the best option like the one he has for some other PPC. This is what I want:
1) Easy cradle, just pop in and take out. No need to connect wires.
2) Car charger automatically attached to cradle no need to move charger in and out.
3) My car does not have bluetooth, but I have a tape deck (I know I know it is a 2000 4runner) so I would love for the ability to have audio out via audio cable to listen to music and calls through cars speakers via tape deck tape with cable.
4) Also some sort of enhanced microphone (beyond built in cell) so I can do hands-free calling
5) Donot really care about landscape mode.
I know 3 and 4 can be solved by having bluetooth in my car, but I donot want to buy a audio receiver or new car LOL I wish I could.
Any suggestions......
Seido you would me a couple of G's quickly once you release this, trust me you have my $120 waiting eagerly what is the delay?!?!? No pressure LOL
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?

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
Anyone else find this attached headset dongle annoying as hell?
Couldnt they have made this a sleek, rectangular snap on type thing, or better yet, install the headset jack on the device... argh.
Any aftermarket solutions?
You can get a sleeker adapter from xpansys for about 10 bucks (it's easy to find, just do a search on there). I have it, and it's pretty nice for using a headset. The dongle's good if you want to charge or sync your phone and listen to music at the same time, but I agree, it's clunky.

Received mine in 2 days via UPS.....WORKS GREAT for FM stations and Phone Functions!
Well it's large because of the number of connections on it. Two extUSB, one 3.5mm and one 2.5mm ... that's a lot of stuff.
I use the dongle in my car, I have it permanently there with my windshield mount. I have it hooked from there into my car speakers.
(and a microphone it is annoying that it doesn't go through the device when hooked up without one, but with this my calls go through the car stereo with a cassette tape adapter)
I also have a charger cable permanently connected to the dongle. So when I get in my car I just plug in the dongle and place it in the mount and I have all functions, headset, car stereo and charge.
I agree it is large, but for all the connections it offers, it is great.
When I am bringing my fuze to listen to music from it, I just connect a much smaller angle adapter I bought off amazon.

Ebay has a few but most of them require a separate power source as they do not come with a built-in battery. You're better off finding Bluetooth Headphones as it will be a less of a hassle and you wouldn't have to go around searching for a receiver.
There's Sony SBH50, Sony SBH52, Sony SBH20 and the oldest one out of the series Sony MW600. All of them have interchangable headphones, with a normal 3.5 Jack, so you can plug in any headphones you want. I used the Sony MW600 for a day after I've bought it, but I lost it, because I had it just dangling on my chest and I wasn't listening to music when it fell off, so I never found it. So strap the wireless receiver well to the headphones! :highfive:
I just received my gv18 smartwatch and other than struggling with the on screen keyboard I'm liking it so far although the vibrate is very weak. Could someone tell me how I could use this with a bluetooth headset as at the moment when connected to my smartphone all audio comes through the watch. I hope this is possible as being able to use a bluetooth headset is one of the main reasons I got this but if I cant control the phones music to play by bluetooth or connect watch to headset I might have to sell it. EDIT I have worked out how to do this it has to be done in the google music app but question remains how do I connect the watch to bluetooth headset? Lastly I don't need Nfc so is it possible that a 22mm straight end strap will fit?
Watch straps are changeable and I can confirm that there does not seem to be a way of connecting bluetooth headset to the watch
Ive managed to get my watch to find headphones but pairing fails
