Not sure on why you would want to do this - I use an 8gig micro SD card and BH200 (dell) bluetooth headset music sounds excellent no drop-out's etc and 8 gig holds a reasonable amount of music.
I'm assuming your trying to hook the phone to the lappie using a USB cable then send the music through to handset using it's bluetooth - if so not sure if this is possible you can't browse the files on the lappie from the phone so I can't see how this could work.
my reason for this request is i would like to watch my macbook pro on my tv and listen to the output sound through my phone and my headset for it....without purchasing a stereo bluetooth headphones

Hi All,
I'm wanting to use my Diamond in the car to replace both my old iPod and sat-nav, while still having phone functions available. There are a few things I'm not happy with, so I thought I see what other people are doing.
I have a car head unit with a direct 3.5mm line-in, which used to have the iPod on the end. The Diamond works fine plugged into this through an ebay 3.5mm\USB adaptor.
If I plug the 12v>USB charger in, I get a whine over the audio - not a big problem, it's just a ground-loop, so I'll stick an isolating transformer in-line.
The main problem I have is switching between the internal speaker and the external output. If I want to have the radio on, rather than MP3, I have to unplug the adaptor, and plug the charging cable in direct, so that I can keep the battery charged - not ideal. This way I can hear the TomTom voices through the internal speaker, but it seems wrong to have to swap leads this way.
The other main problem is if I have MP3 and TomTom all through the stereo, and I get a call, I can hear the call over the stereo, but can't speak, as the Diamond is expecting an external microphone.
I guess what I need is a utility to force only the internal microphone to be used, and to allow me to force the internal speaker when I want to use the radio. It there such a thing?
I think one of these car holders has an option to plug in charger and usb-3.5mm jack adapter at the same time....

If i had the skills i'd try to figure out a hack to pause/mute the mp3 and mute satnav when in a call... but I don't.
That's not the problem - I can plug in the charger and 3.5mm audio at the some time, but that redirects all the audio to the car stereo, and disconnects the mic. Removing the adaptor and plugging in just the charger enables the microphone, but all my MP3s then are played through the internal speaker.
What I need is a utility to force the internal microphone to be used _all_ the time, and let me choose when to use the internal speaker when a headset is detected.
I don't suppose anyone knows how the Diamond recognises a headset? Is there a resistor link across a couple of the pins in the 11pin connnector? I'm just thinking I could make up a cable with a switch to break that contact, and 'virtually' disconnect the headset when I want the radio, or need the microphone active during a call.
You could try this program. It seems to be a virtual switch between the earpiece and external speaker. I use it a a solution for skype and other voip programs that only work through the external speaker, but the works the other way as well.
headset instaled but need phone mic allways enable

I have the same issue of kaisee.
I use the diamond as mp3 player in my car stereo (aux-in) and i need the mic allways available to use the phone without disconect the usb or audio plug.
In my old magician this worked just fine becouse the mic was allways available.
Is the .exe posted by dctech the answer(thanks man) ? has anybody tested ? is it reliable or there is another solution?
Thanks
You need a proper bluetooth car kit to allow this. Parrot ones are very good. If you want to listen to music as well as phone calls and sat nav i would suggest that you get one with both handset and A2DP bluetooth profiles. There is a workaround app you can use to get music through a car kit with just a handset or headset profile but the quality is mono and very poor
I have a bluetooth stereo headset with which I listen to music with my Kaiser.
I have a laptop that does not have bluetooth. If kaiser is connected to the laptop via USB (and ActiveSync), is it possible to listen to music from the laptop on my bluetooth stereo headset?
Not music stored on the laptop, only stored on the card.
I think you misunderstood my question.
Lets say there is a website that uses flash to play streaming music. I want to open this website on my laptop and listen to the music on the bluetooth stereo headset; since my laptop does not have bluetooth, I want to use kaiser as the bluetooth routing device (may be through USB).
u need 2 buy a bluetooth doggle, cause the tilt can't be used as a speaker for any device wether ur teathering or connect via bluetooth.
Easy answer, no.
Get a BT dongle for your laptop.
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)
I have searched everywhere and can't seem to find a answer to this...
I use a phone cradle in the car, using my topaz as my music player, connecting my phone to my car stereo with a male-male 3.5mm audio jack.
I want to be able to steam music via bluetooth from any other compatible phone / device to my phone, meaning I don't have to trail cables everywhere when a passenger wants to play something.
I would have thought this to be a simple-ish thing to setup but cannot find any information on how to do it. Is it even possible, and where would I start if it is?
I also want to use my on-board mic when the headset is plugged so I can have call audio over car speakers, although iv been led to believe this isn't possible because of hardware reasons, can anybody clarify that?
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, not really sure where it should have gone.
If I understand you correctly, you want to stream music TO your phone over BT from another device? Not possible.
For hearing call over speakers and using mic, you need to get the M-F w/built in mic.
I too don't think it will be possible to stream music from another device to your phone except if you transfer the entire music mp3 file via bluetooth to your device and then play it from there.
Regarding the possibility of using the device's microphone whilst using the car speakers for sound, again I'm afraid I don't think this is possible. I have a similar set-up to you in that my TD2 is connected to an FM transmitter which also charges my TD2 at the same time in a nice cradle. The TD2 thinks it is connected to a headset when cradled. The microphone is inactive in this state which is a shame as it would have made a good hands free system if it were to be active....

I use this set up as well. You just need the cable with the built in mic.
My RF Transmitter has a male plug, So I found the HTC cable that has the HTC USB to Female with built in mic. This is my basic set up.

That set up looks great Bruce, but I don't want to be fiddling about plugging in so many cables with so many wires visible. Brodit does something similar too, all in a cradle with an extended wire so you would be able to hide all the cables....
I'm looking into car stereos, and is there a way to get one with a usb port that I could do audio out of the phone through it?
Right now I have to cables needed for my phone in the car, power cable and headphones. I'm trying to see how I can eliminate the headphones, but still keep the ability to use my phone for music (while its charging). I keep my music on the internal storage (not SD), but also use Pandora or Audiogalaxy.
Also if there are any stereo units that can do this and have support for ipod of usb that would be great too.
almost every car stereo brand has one with usb ports but unfortunately I think you need one with an auxiliary out that will connect thru 3.5 mm headphone jack
edit: I think there might be some out there that have bluetooth for playing music actually

Check CrutchField.com and it should work just like you want. Go to best buy with your cable and plug into one of the HU's there and try it. Your music would need to be on the SD card and disk drive setup from the phone end I think

This means your phone will act as an USB thumb drive.. It may not be the same effect you want, but is a pretty good solution.
I use a nice sony head to stream the media audio to in my truck, often 8 or 10 hours a day, love it. A few head units will allow phone and audio seperately. The ability to connect bt headset and head unit to the phone is well worth the money if you spend much time driving
Pioneer offers many units that have the bluetooth built in that allow audio streaming and call interuption etc
I know in my 2011 Camaro i can do call audio and any audio on my Incredible (ie: music, sounds, games, videos all output audio via bluetooth since the radio acts as headphones) but of course were also talking about a stereo that has rare support for the Zune integrated right into the USB.
The sony in my 2011 freightliner does the media and phone seperately, phone can be connected to stereo and headset at the same time, mp3 thru the stereo and calls thru the headset. Even with the external mic for the stereo people got too much background noise. Car might be a little quieter inside tho
