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?
Has anyone had any luck getting their Kaiser to stream music to their car stereo via the Parrot car kit?
I'm about to purchase, but I have read all sorts of issues with A2DP on the Kaiser...
Just one bump, then I'll let it go.

There is an app called A2DP toggle, it works great for my Jabra hands free.
Also try holding your stylus on the device that is listed in your BT settings menu for your Kaiser, a pop up will appear, select "Set as Wireless Stereo"
You can read and download A2DP Toggle here:

Thanks very much.
I got a bluetooth headset for in the car.
Now I want to hear the instructions from my navigation and other sounds on my X1 through my headset. TomTom navigator 7 doesn't have this option. So anyone knows a good free app?
i havent tried it but im pretty sure that it works. ill try it latter if i can find my bluetooth headset.
yeah it works. x1a, tt 7.910, jabra bt3030 head set
Can you tell me how you got it to work? Because i can't find any options in tomtom 7.915
it should do it automaticaly when you pair up your bluetooth headset. my headset is both wireless stereo and hands free compatable.

You need to have a headset that is wireless stereo compatible... same as having a wired headset plugged in.
Hi!
is anyone successfully using a Jabra Cruiser with the HD2? Looks a nice piece of kit, but after all the comments on how flawed the BT stack is on our beloved, I would like to know if music can be successfully played through BT and the FM transmitter before spending £70 for it...

I had the forerunner of the cruiser, the Jabra SP700. The operation and the telephone related functions were formidable. Bluetooth worked perfectly with this model, audio streaming (A2DP) included. The only problem I had with the SP700 was the FM transmission. It worked but it was way to noisy for me (I'm an audiophile).
I think you have to try it out yourself. It works, yes, but if it works well under the particular condition in which you gonna use it*, and if it sounds well according to your taste is something you have to decide while using it.
* For FM transmission to work in your car it is very important that the waves of the Jabra unit can reach your antenna outside the car well enough.
Finally decided to ditch the iPod and use my Note II for all my music, podcasts, etc. I hate plugging/unplugging my phone every time I get in the car, I always left my iPod just plugged in and connected. My '07 Mazda 5 is old and cheap enough it doesn't have bluetooth. I looked all over for something that will basically take my Bluetooth A2DP stream and plug it into my AUX input of my stereo. I didn't feel like investing the time and money to replace the stereo in my car. After doing a lot of looking I picked up one of these, a GOgroove FlexSMART X2 Wireless In-Car Bluetooth FM Transmitter. I picked this particular unit because it has both Aux in and out for me to connected it directly to my stereo via the AUX input.

I'm not surprised I liked the unit, the unit pairs fast, works great, does exactly what I want it too and all of the reviews were extremly positive. What I am surprised at is the FM modulator works better than the AUX input into my car. Volume level is better with the FM modulator, there is a slight bit of ground loop noise with the Aux input while the FM modulator is completely clear with better sound. I am stunned how well the FM modulator works because I've had nothing but negative things to say about FM modulators in the past. It has a feature where you hold down a button and it scans all of the channels and tunes itself to the clearest channel. That feature works awesome. I have a ~45 mile one way drive to work, and it was crystal clear the whole way.
great for no Bluetooth cars
One day I noticed a friend was streaming audio and using waze (gps) at the same time in his older car with no bluetooth. At the time I was researching options like a Parrot or an integrated in car upgrade kit and found one of these to be much more affordable. They have another model the SMARTmini which I think is newer but has a shorter arm so depending where your cig lighter is this may make a difference on what model to purchase. Grabbed one last year for an older SUV with no bluetooth and works really well. Happy to see this posted!
I have a JVC stereo in my smart fortwo. Great one and cheap. It has bluetooth for streaming and talking with it's microphone. Plus usb, plus aux. All in one.

This is what I use. Plugs into the lighter and is able to charge your phone at the same time. My Rogue has an AUX input so I plug the other end in and it auto-connects when I turn on the car.
Works great
I want to buy the HTC stereoclip, it uses a lossless APT-X codec, which if your device happens to support it (The NII does!) you get losslesss audio over bluetooth! Pricey, and requires being plugged in all the time when the battery dies, but I still want it!

Hello and thanks for this, does this take my cell phone A2DB intake and give line out to my auxiliary in? I do not want to use the FM function because it usually does not work well in my over populated area.
Ok, I've found this on you tube the go groove smart mini does have a line out jack

Here's a screenshot
My moto s705 soundpilot bt uses regular 3.5mm earbuds, so I got a cable from radio shack with male ends, plug from the bt to the aux input, streaming music, PLUS I can clip the bt on the visor and talk on the phone through the car stereo.
I've ended up buying this one http://www.amazon.com/SMARTmini-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-Streaming-Smartphones/dp/B008XMV05G/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
I made this decision as it appeared the smallest of the whole bunch.

I use a Belkin B46 hockey puck with inverter for power which use aux jack all hidden in the arm rest. Set it up to auto connect and kick off pandoea when conndcted. This way I get in my car and music starts playing. Cant stand the quality over FM.

Works very well with all devices, good choice for cars without AUX input. it streams music and handle calls all in one =], I love it!
I've never had good luck with these FM transmitters. For around $70 you can just replace your receiver with a Bluetooth enabled one.
