bluetooth audio router

I was checking out the GPS Test program on the Chartcross Ltd. site and noticed this product:
http://chartcross.co.uk/products/WM00004_details.asp
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

From Mobile to FM Radio

Hi,
I was thinking that if FM transmitter exist for HTC diamond or a more general one for all mobiles??
I know that Soney Ericsson has something like that where you can transmit to FM Radio while playing your music on your mobile phone!!
It would be great, having a live radio on the net, using my HTC mobile 3G network and transmit the audio to FM radio while driving
Any ideas how to do that? Would be great to have something like that and a more general device which can be used with most manufactures would even be better!!

Motorola T505. Connects via bluetooth to your Diamond and then has a digital FM transmitter to divert the audio to your FM radio. Also gives you hands free for your car and supports A2DP stereo over bluetooth. If you use turn by turn GPS on your Diamond you can hear the commands on the T505 or on your car stereo. Highly recommended.
James

thanks
thanks james,
Just ordered one

Is there any cheaper solution?

not bad
Well, I found one for around £49 which is okay!
Hope its worth the money, and sound/voice over FM is clear and in good quality
lets see, otherwise, will just return it back.

been using the belkin tunecaster II since i had my old himalaya / xda2
works fine

Bluetooth Car Kit

I'm looking for the latest/best Bluetooth kit that will allow me to stream Pandora and phone calls through my car speakers. I like the idea of the Motorola T505, but can't tell if there is something newer/better out there. I would prefer suggestions from people who know first hand about the pros and cons.
Thank you!

Bluetooth Advice....
I actually just posted this article over at my website....
http://www.drunkentechblog.com/?p=404
There's some good advice there.
BTW, the Jabra headset I was initially using was this one:

For a little more money you could have the fully integrated stereo I feature in the article.

I will check it out, thank you!

I didn't see anything about sending or receiving phone calls. Can you?

I've been using the Motorola T505 for a while and I love it, especially the amazing battery life! I found the same Sony Stereo on Amazon for about $149.
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MEX-BT3800U-Receiver-Player-Bluetooth/dp/B0032FOJPM
This is what the description says about recieving calls:
Bluetooth Functionality
The MEX-BT3800U features Bluetooth hands-free with an integrated microphone (or through an external microphone), as well as audio streaming functionality using your compatible Bluetooth music device.

I believe this means it should handle calls just as well as streaming Music from your device.
The only thing that gets me about the T505 is when traveling, even with the auto-station finder, since it is an FM transmitter it can take a while to find a decent station to listen to your music. Around my own area I've already found the best stations and have them set as presets though so not a problem however it would be nice to get CD sound quality through the speakers instead of FM sound.

Yes, the Sony stereo handles calls very well. And as for the FM Transmitter on that T505 I can't say. The reason I went with the Jabta BT3030 before I got the Sony stereo was so I could use the line input instead of an FM transmitter. (I tried something with an FM Transmitter before with poor sound quality).
I wish I had seen that deal on Amazon!

I tried the line-in in my Mustang and the sound was horrible.
Thanks for the helpful information.
It will probably be a few months before I will be able to part with the cash to buy anything, but it'll take me that long to make a decision. lol

I was going to place an order until I realized it wouldn't fit into my Mustang.
Any other suggestions?

Nice setup with the stereo if you have only 1 car and you spend plenty of time in it.

I'm using a Jabra Cruiser speakerphone. Clips to the visor, transmits to the car radio and sounds good. Also it is supposed to announce caller name via access to the Inc's phonebook - Inc is supposed to have PBAP. This doesn't work however with the Jabra Cruiser. It will announce phone numbers only, not names of incoming caller.

[Q] Legend Car Kit

Hey guys, does anyone know where I could get a good car kit for mu Legend. I'm looking for a device that uses the radio as an FM transmitter (so that I can stream the music on my SD card to one of the frequencies on the radio).
I've searched online but cant seem to find any that are compatible with the Legend.

jabra cruiser bluetooth carkit maybe

Interesting, I never thought of using a Speakerphone as a transmitter.
From doing a bit of reserch the Motorola Motorokr T505 looks to be the better option - much cheaper as well.

Thanks!

that is easy to make fm transmitter, just need simple electronic parts
so you can creat it by your self

For me I just have auto answer on speaker and have the Legend where the visor is right above my head, I don't even need a proper bluetooth dock or anything except for my motorbike where I use a helmet headset.

Wanted to add bluetooth to your car? Try this out.

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.
http://www.amazon.com/FlexSMART-Tra...&qid=1357759073&sr=1-1&keywords=car+bluetooth
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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dri3pzuEqlA
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.
