I've seen a few car headunits for sale that support bluetooth A2DP (sony/pioneer ect..).
We can steam music from our device to the car stereo, however has anyone managed to activate these functions using VC 1.6?

I was checking out the GPS Test program on the Chartcross Ltd. site and noticed this product:

They claim that you can use it to play MP3's etc...over a Bluetooth headset. Has anyone tried using this product to play music on the stereo in your car?
I would prefer to connect the phone to the car directly like you can with an iPod, but I have not seen any software support for that. My car has a 6 disc changer that uses the same port the iPod jack uses so unless I want to tear apart the dash I am stuck.
I think everybody that uses a bt headset has this program.
On Kaiser use this, BTaudio Toggle, it's free and works great.
Isn't that Kaiser support A2DP natively w/o any extra software? I don't have any issue to listen to music using my BT stereo headset or bluetooth head unit.

A2DP has nothing to do with mono audio redirection. This thread is on the latter, not on A2DP.
I've long ago elaborated on this subject at, say, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...t using traditional (mono) Bluetooth headsets
Help please!! My work have just kindly installed a intergrated bluetooth car kit for me. Its actually for my work phone a Nokia 6300. I am able to use the bluetooth to pair with my Kaiser and have voice conversations. Can I use it to listen to music though my Kaiser (actually a T-Mob Vario 3). The car kit must be connected to the car stereo because this cuts out automatically when I receive a call. I want to be able to use the car kit to allow me to listen to music from Media Player.
There is an app called BT toggle that routes all audio from the device to a bluetooth headset/speaker so It may be worth giving that a go..although SQ will be no wehere near as good as the built in stereo in the vehicle.
What car kit have the installed for you?
Is it a THB Bury car kit, if so then THB make a proper cradle for the kaiser
Yes it is a THB Bury Car kit with the cradlefor the Nokia 6300 with intergrated bluetooth sitting on top of it. I dont really want to buy the Kaiser Kit. Just stream music via the bluetooth cradle. Tried the BT Toggle app that c.b sugested but cant seem to get that to work. It just seems to make the music thats playing go quiet on the phone but it doesnt then come out of the cars speakers. Any ideas anyone?
So, I have a new Toyota Avalon with built-in bluetooth. Was wondering if anyone knew of hacks, tricks, tweaks - software or hardware - to permit a2dp to show up when connected through bluetooth. It says HANDSFREE but doesn't show WIRELESS STEREO on my ATT TILT (stock rom).
Anyway to do this?
Also, for anyone with a Toyota and bluetooth, is there any way to get Microsoft Voice Command activated from the steering wheel? On all my external car bluetooth speakers, hitting the call button activates Voice Command. Doesn't do it with the built-in Toyota system...unless I am overlooking something.
BUMP....
Is there someone on the forum with a Toyota and bluetooth?
I am bummed about this...the only way I can stream or play audio is use the AUX jack which is fine EXCEPT it means that the phone cannot be used via the built-in blue tooth...the other party can be heard by the car microphones don't pick up my voice (presumably because the AUX connector somehow hijacks it???!!)
Any help would be appreciated.

That's what would happen if the car's BT did not support A2DP. My guess would be that your car only supports handsfree.
I'm in the same boat. I have an '07 Sienna and I have been looking for a way to connect AD2P bluetooth. So far, I'm having no luck.
I've thought about mounting my i.tech clip inside the dash to the Aux input. That means I'd have to modify the i.tech to work when power is connected. I would also have figure out a way to use the Aux port directly (with another device) if I wish. It is always something...
The '09 Toyota's support the AD2P.
works for me
so, I am in a '10 toyota. When I get into the car, it will pair up as handsfree, but does not show AD2P initially. For me at least, if I go to the BT tab on the audio screen, and press and hold the play button, it will start playing from the last playlist I was using. The steering wheel seek up seek down work to skip forward and back.
The first time I needed to initiate some music playing on the phone, and then tell the car to connect bluetooth through the BT tab on the audio menu, I think it hides the AD2P unless the phone requests it, and treats it separately from the handsfree connection.
I wish you luck- for short trips, it is great to be able to just sit down in the car, and have the radio play my mp3s without having to muck with my phone or cables.
I bought a connection for my diamond to connect to the aux input of my car stereo sort of hoping that it would work by allowing me to use the car speakers to speak & listen from phone, listening was not a problem, crystal clear but the person on the other end could not hear me. Is there an easy way to get this sorted? My stereo does not have bluetooth.
Depends on what sort of "connection" you have bought and how it works. Is it meant to be a handsfree unit, in which case it should come with its own microphone?
Or is it a USB type headset lead unit that is only meant to be used as a means of playing music via the car stereo, in which case you probably can't attach a microphone and can't use it as a handfree unit.
The way to sort it is to buy a bluetooth handsfree unit complete with microphone. These communicate with your phone using bluetooth and can either have their own amp and speaker or be wired into your car audio (usually via the phone facility in the DIN connector on the back of the car unit).
If you want to use for both phone calls and listening music it is best to get one that supports multiple Bluetooth profiles, including handsfree and A2DP.
Hello everyone,
I can pair my car's bluetooth and Diamond flawlessly... However I am also wondering if it is possible to use the car speakers as output in order to listen to mp3s in my phone... ofcourse via bluetooth...
I know that people can listen to music via their bluetooth dongles on the ear. From which menu or program should i also try for the car?
Thanks in adv.
if the bluetooth in your car support ad2p then it's just a question about bonding them and choosing stereo headset on the phone
but if your car don't there is no way
Thanks, unfortunetely there's not such a function (as far as I checked on the web)
