I am trying to see if there is any software out there that will allow me to use my phone as a listening device or "bug" and listen via bluetooth.
Basically I would like to be able to have my bluetooth headset on and paired with my phone, activate the app and be able place my phone someplace so I can listen to conversations or sounds picked up by the phones mic over the bluetooth earpiece/ headset. I have looked all over but have not had any luck with finding something like this. It seems like it would be fairly easy accomplish.
Any help would be appreciated.

hi
I walk to work and back everyday and I listen to my DAB radio all the time.
Problem is (and I realise its not the biggest problem in the world) I can't hear my phone so always miss calls.
Can anyone think of a solution so I can get audio from my DAB into the Hermes so I can listen to the radio and when I get a call, it interupts the audio? I thought about using the mini usb but that only has a mic in and if I use that, if the phone rings all they'll hear is my radio
Its a big of an expensive solution but would this work?:

So I bluetooth audio to my Hermes then use the wired headphones/mic to listen to it and if I get a call, the audio stops?!
Would that work?
thanks in advance

You could just have your phone on ring AND vibrate and keep it in your pocket so you feel it.
Just an idea
Try these instead. http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat1150057/cat5420035/prod29780013
I have had a pair for about a year and the sound is great. You can connect the included dongle your DAB or any other non blue tooth audio device and set up a link between your phone and the dongle with the headset. While you are listening to your music from the DAB if you receive a call the headset silences the music and you can answer the call directly from the headset. When the call ends your music resumes automatically. I may be a little pricier than device you listed but works like a charm.
Note make sure you look at the 590a not the 590e. The 590e does not include the dongle.
Also don't purchase it directly from Plantronics site. You can get it for about $100 if you search the web for it.
I have a Sony MEX3900 in my car. I love the convenience of my phone's music player synching up with the radio via bluetooth, but the problem is that the handsfree phone interface is awful. My car is a little noisy and even with the windows rolled up no one can understand me, even though I installed the optional microphone.
Is there any way to link just the music player while keeping the phone disconnected from the radio? That way I could use the radio to play music but use my headset for calls, which, while not perfect, works a lot better than the radio does.
In a nutshell, can I synch the music to one device and the phone to another?
When blue tooth is on you should be able to long press a device in the list and sees options for it. You can select which BT profiles you want to use for that device.
Thank you (again)!
Does anyone use an audio profile app they really like? I'm trying to find one that will consistently apply a custom EQ only when connected to my bluetooth helmet. The rest of the time I would like the EQ to be perfectly flat, with no intervention at all. Is this even possible? I need to knock the treble way down for listening to music while riding and would appreciate it if it didnt apply to profile to my other bluetooth headsets used for phone calls.
i like using the stock music app or google play music. I do own poweramp but it didnt have this function.

I used a software called DSP Manager, but I don't see it in the Play store anymore. But if you search for DSP in Play store you should see some other ones that do pretty much what your looking for.

I don't see nothing illegal by doing so, hes just modifying the why the music sounds on the fly not permanently applying the modification. It's up to the consumer to regulate how he listens to the music.
No my concern was the listening to music while wearing the helmet. Not the changes to the phone it self. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

^Headphones in helmets are legit.
I use Volume+, on both transformer prime, and the evo.
it works great. Has seperate profiles for Handset, speaker, bluetooth,and headphones.
Unfortunately it wouldn't allow seperate settings for two seperate bluetooth devices though. Its just bluetooth in general.
Although, the way your headphones probably come up as media audio and a handsfree comes up as a headset device, maybe it would treat it differently, would have to try it out.
Hey all,
Ive tried about a dozen "mono" apps and have found nothing that will do what I want. I have also tried the Droid Incredible and my current phone the GS3. I have a 2011 BMW and for some reason they didnt include a2dp in their stereo system. Nothing I do will force the stereo to play music or notifications, or read out lout texts through the car speakers. The only thing that will go through is phone calls.
HOWEVER, Ive accidentally discovered something interesting. If I am on a call through bluetooth in the car and navigating at the same time, the navigation voice will come through the cars speakers as well.
So what I need is something to trick the car into thinking my phone is on a call, thus triggering the bluetooth to transmit phone sounds through the speakers, this way I can use a text message reader, music, whatever.
So the app/hack would need to emulate whatever the phone does with bluetooth signals when it starts a call. All sounds the phone makes should go to bluetooth.....which it seems like its already doing while on a call.
Thanks to anyone who responds. Mod: If there is a better place for this, feel free to move it.

I have a lexus that also for whatever reason doesnt have A2DP supported, there is a app called BTMONO that will make your radio think your phone is in a call and will transmit sound. However it is mono tone so if you are doing it for music it will not be your best bet.
I am still looking for something that will play music in stereo without the A2DP

I am working on this now for the SoundAbout app.
Tried searching and I could not find any other threads relating to this topic. I am trying to trick my car (Lexus) bluetooth into playing music. It does not have A2DP. Has anyone come up with a way to do this? Has anyone been able to do this with the SoundAbout app ?
It worked !!! I just tried an ap called "blue2car" on my iphone . .... I own a 2006 Bmw 530xi . ... damn , I wish I would have found this app 8 years ago ... it cost 10.99 but it is worth it ......
Anyone experience this? connected to the car bluetooth, but when i off the infotaintment and stop the car, the music continue playing using the phone speaker. H'mmm not a bit issue but very troublesome to stop what is playing every time
I read in a review that there's a setting you can change which lets you have music continue playing after removing headphones or have it automatically pause, I believe this setting will also affect bluetooth audio as well, perhaps this will help? I can't say if it is this though, I haven't got mine yet but it will be good for me to know too as I connect my phone to my car's stereo via bluetooth and will do the same with the Z2.
