Is it possible to use a Bluetooth Carkit to play audio from the Vario in my car? If so, what should I look for in a carkit?
is this question so weird? I prefer not to buy something extra (like fm transmitter) for music.
It seems there aren't any yet. What you need is a car kit (and a PDA) that supports A2DP Bluetooth profile. I have not been able to find any references to such kit being available for sale anywhere. However, there is a car stereo from Pioneer that will support A2DP once released.
Take a look at this fairly comprehensive list of A2DP compliant devices - perhaps when someone develops the car kit you need, it will show up there.
Thanks. Now I know what to look for! I'll keep my eyes open.

Kenji776: if you can listen to calls over your bluetooth, have a go on my app VJVolubilis, using the -agon option.
It might work to open audio generally over the bluetooth connection, playing all sound out. Works on some devices, but not all.

i have a2dp in my car. I modified my HP bluetooth headphones and wired it directly to the aux input of my deck. I relocated the buttons to the front near the deck so now i have full control of the playback without touching or looking at my pda.
No this does NOT work with the wizard because i don't use it as my music player and i don't know if it supports a2dp profile but it works flawlessly with my hp rx3115. I also don't need a car holder for it because my pda just sits in my pocket or in the glove compartment. One feature i love about this is the fact that i can take out my rx3115 and control the music from 15ft outside the car.

I'm not sure if what I want is available, but here we go anyway
I've got a Wizard (naturally), and what I'd like to do is get a bluetooth headset adapter that allows me to plug my own headphones into it (I have some really smart headphones which I prefer to the usual "over the ear" style you tend to see in bluetooth headphones) so I can listen to MP3s from the Wizard over a bluetooth connection. BUT, I'd also like to be able to use this imaginary adapter with my own headphones plugged into it as an ordinary headset when I recieve a call (which would mean the adapter would need a mic and a button).
So, here are my questions:
A) Is the Wizard capable of doing this?
B) Does such an adapter exist?
C) Would Media Player on the Wizard be able to send the music over bluetooth, or would I require another music player?
D) Is there a problem with this setup that I haven't thought of?
E) If such a device does exist, can anyone recommend one?
I think I may have found something like this, but details are sketchy. Take a look: http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=125691
Thanks for your advice.
1. currently I have MDA with X's 2.24 ROM, which has a2dp already, yes, you can connect it DIRECTLY
2. a2dp analog audio adaptor is available, but it's bundled with a2dp headphones, I recommend plantronics 590a, the analog audio adaptor is compatible with ANY a2dp clients with passcode 0000
3. yes, as well as TCPMP and GSPlayer
4. the setup is easy, just make sure your Wizard has a2dp support included, it use some amount of CPU for audio-transcoding
5. see #2
I recommend S38 or R35 to avoid the jack dongle, you can use it directly on you wizard, you can install tornado a2dp addon if your wizard doesn't have one, I have R35, works perfectly with my MDA
I know its possible to send audio from an Android phone via bluetooth to a PC using the a2dp profile. But I want to do it the other way. Connect the phone to my amplifier and send audio via bluetooth a2dp from my laptop.
I've searched but not found. Anyone know it it's possible?
I think the standard BlueZ stack can't do this. I think the Broadcom BTLA stack might be able to do this ... IF you have the Broadcom Bluetooth chip inside.
Hi Pananza,
did you have success to use an android device as a2dp receiver? I'm looking for a solution but I didn't find anything useful.
The only solution that I have found is to use the NDK to access the BlueZ stack, but I'm not sure if this is the right way.
Thanks

Using phone as A2DP receiver
Hello
I would like to do this too, have a Sony MW600, and it works perfect with laptop or my HTC Desire, but it can not be charged and used at the same time..
Will it be possible to do this on an Android that is not rooted?
Did anything ever come of this? I'm looking for an app that would allow android to receive bluetooth a2dp or whatever the basic format is (mono ok), and output audio on the headphone jack of the phone. Bass ackwards to what all other apps i've found are doing. I've always been a "special needs" user

any update on this?
Wanting to use Android OS in the dash of my vehicle hooked to the audio system and use bluetooth a2dp to connect to mobile phones to play media through the system.
I'm looking for a similar setup. Has anyone found a way to turn android into an a2dp receiver?

You can transform your device into a wifi music receiver with the app called soundwire, you must install a server on your pc to stream audio from your pc to your android device. I didn't find anything with bluetooth.

Same here. More and more people are going to have "last years" android phone lying around doing nothing and this would be an awesome way to re-purpose it.
Whether it uses BT, Wifi, I don't care as long as I can stream audio from one android phone to another. What I don't want is to deal with DLNA or manufacturer built in BS. Just need google to turn on the A2DP sink profile and be done with it. The hardware is all there, just need the software to take advantage.
The next best thing is one of those BT reciever dongles/boxes. They run about $20 I think. So PSA to android developers - if you can enable this in a paid app I'm ready to buy it and I'll bet a lot of others are as well.

Did that tutorial works for you?
I've tried, but it doesn't work. My Panasonic TV doesn't see my phone, so I cannot play the TV audio thru my phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I was also looking for an app like this.
For my old phones, my android sticks, ... no progress I assume ?
Waiting the same here! My idea is to buy a bluetooth transmitter, connect it to my TV and receive the audio on my phone.
I can't think that is not possible! :crying::crying:
Truck Tablet Install
Hey Everyone,
Been very curious about this as well as I'm going to do a nexus 7 install in my truck and want to be able to bluetooth additional music aside from what is on the tablet through the tablet to my speakers. Kind of a necessity due to the lack of a 3.5mm aux into the stereo. Hopefully we can figure this out!

I'm also looking to do this.
I'd like to be able to connect a Bluetooth transmitter to the output of a mixing desk, and then just use my phone to receive the audio (which I'd then want to save with something like tapeatalk).
This could provide a very quick method of recording gigs or DJ sets in stereo, and would be better quality than simply using the built in mic of your phone.
a2dp sink.
Bluetooth File transfer app can stream music from another phone. And this is where tha first phone works as a a2dp sink am I right? Can't we use that to built an app to follow it but using pc/laptop as the source?
Seems, that no one is interested. What a pitty, it could be really HOT stuff. For example, cheap android phone pluged instantly to a charger and to Car Audio via AUX, and You have got Bluetooth automatic pairing system for calling and music, navi etc.
Unfortunately I couldn't find solution for this, neither the app. It is strange. Some people says, that Android can not be a sink (reciever) in a2dp profile. So how does microphones from earphones are streaming audio to a phone, hmm?
Maybe someone will do it
I have a LG G3 and it does it flawlessly. It have a function called "Turn Audio Channel mode" on bluetooth settings.
I'm wondering how to do the same thing on any other andoird phones.
My car 2008 mitsubishi eclipse gt se. Dosent have any inputs,or bluetooth for music which stinks it has a awesome stock system a 650-watt (max.) Rockford-Fosgate Premium Audio system with SIRIUS Satellite Radio, including 6-month pre-paid subscription....The system plays through nine speakers, including a 10-inch subwoofer.
So heres my question without bluetooth or inputs to my radio, the sirius satellite radio has a ID/ESN number right? to link it...is there a way to connect to it with my phone, like push music through some type of channel or something?....i hate not having any inputs on my car radio, But I want to keep it stock , just trying to figure out any ideas,or people thoughts on this......thanks
the link was removed by the system it says
I got an adapter like that on ebay for a factory CD changer on a 2004 Chrysler and it has been perfect.
so where does the adapter plug into?...im confused i have no inputs?...just a 6 disk changer in head unit...so i was thinking of a way to carry a signal thru sirus perhaps?
from the ebay listing found doing a search for "aux input mitsubishi eclipse":
*2005-2009 models without Factory Navigation Radio
Mitsubishi aux input to 3.5mm (headphone) Replaces Mitsubishi MZ360135EX
Cable is 3 foot long.
This cable allows an Auxiliary audio source to be played through your factory radio. Radio must be aux capable. To find out turn on your radio and press down and hold down the CD button. Radio should then enter ''AUX'' mode, seen on Radio screen.
Aux input port wire in through your factory wiring harness. Very easy to do. The hardest part is removing the radio. Full installation directions are available via Email upon request.
This kit will plug into the headphone plug on a source such as a Microsoft Zune, Zen Player, iRiver, SanDisc, Samsung player and any other mp3 player.
You can get an FM transmitter. You plug the phone into the transmitter and it broadcasts the audio over a non-used FM channel. You set your radio to that channel and recieve your audio.
For example,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-MP3-Pla...er_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item5add856024
or
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FM-radio-Tr...er_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item3cc3f2819f
I use a Bluetooth speakerphone with a built-in fm transmitter. It puts the mic right in front of you and sends the output to the stereo.
Disclaimer: This is not advice. It is just something that fell from between my ears.
cool, thanks for the advice and imput....gonna check out to see if i have a aux through menu..never seen it before,,though sometimes its behind the head unit....if not gonna go transmitter route....

whoa i never seen one of those before....Have you seen anything like that for a Samsung note? If not just gonna buy a cheap ipod touch i use it for music...i like that idea...thanks
If neither of those ebay items does Bluetooth to FM, take a look at Sound Fly, they have several models (they also do audio jack to FM and built-in SD card reader to FM). I like BT to FM better because its one less thing to fiddle with each time I get into and out of my car. Pull my phone out of my pocket, hit play and go. Even when streaming XM via the data connection it only pulls 15% of the battery per hour so I don't bother plugging in a charge connection either.
By the way, do not bother with the SiriusXM app if you have an online account. It will NOT give you the full 128 kbps you can get with other options (such as streaming from your desktop computer). Get Xiia Lite from the market and go to mobile.musicdock.com. Make sure you set 128 in the settings after you log into musicdock, then set up your favorite channels, and you are good to go. Much better sound.
Hi
My car has a car kit Bluetooth car kit installed.
The only problem I'm having is that i can't "stream" my audio to my car stereo.
If it's relevant to anyone. My car is a Mercedes C-Class with the default gps/radio unit.
For this reason I'm looking for a A2DP car kit but without the hands free calling.
Does such a thing exist? I couldn't find one.
Regards
Mr_H
Hello all,
I've got sort of a detailed question, so bear with me as it may be a little TLR.
Basically, I'm thinking of putting a Nexus 7 in my car. I've heard that bluetooth quality is VERY hit or miss, so I'm looking to use the headphone output/line out adapter if I can find it.
Unfortunately, keeping my steering wheel controls is a must. I'm going to add a hidden head unit so I don't lose FM radio, CD capability, and all those other archaic things passengers may request. Just about all of them have bluetooth connections.
So, I'm looking for a bluetooth app that can receive a command from a connected device, and play/pause/forward/back a song, even if the audio is not being transmitted via bluetooth.
So (excusing the various adapters I buy), the chain would look like this:
Steering Wheel Control (Next Track) -> Head Unit connected via BT to tablet (audio coming in via headphone plug on N7) -> N7 App intercepts command -> Music app goes to next track.
This has to be possible, right?
Thanks!
EDIT: I found an app called Headset Button Controller on the play store. I think this describes what I want, but I want it to receive the commands via bluetooth, not via a headset controller. Thanks again!
