I just leased a 2007 Audi A4. It was a special deal and did not come with the Bluetooth interface that works so well on my wife's 2006 Audi A6.
I would really like to hook the phone up to the Audi A4 in some way. I was wondering if any of you experts had any ideas or have successfully hooked your Wizards to any newer vehicles (via wire or bluetooth) which did not come equipped to handle phones.
Here's some ideas, I've had.
Wired Connection. Does anyone have any suggestions for hard wiring the Wizard to a car's stereo via the 2.5mm jack on the Wizard? I almost bought a Saab 9-3 which had a 3.5mm jack inside the glove box. I hooked up my Wizard via a 3.5mm cable with a 2.5mm adapter for the Wizard. I was able to listen to my music playing on the Wizard and when someone called, I could hear the ringing through the car's speakers, but there was evidently no microphone connection so no one could hear me. A wired solution should be feasible and there's a button on the steering wheel which may be able to answer calls.
Bluetooth Connection. An alternative to the wired connection is a bluetooth connection. Parrot has a neat car kit which even streams stereo from your Wizard (A2DP). Cool set up. Has anyone installed something like this in their Audi, BMW, etc.
Any help or direction would be most appreciated.
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.
I bought a dock from Ebay but when I have my diamond in it, it outputs the audio to the dock(it has a 3.5mm connector).
Is there any way I can disable the headset feature cause now I cant hear my ringtone when I'm being called when its in the dock.
Hello there,
Is it possible to use a bluetooth controller like this one https://www.amazon.com/iSimple-Port...1332&sr=8-15&keywords=Bluetooth+Phone+Control to control my TMobile Note 4 while it's plugged into the auxiliary port of my car stereo? It kinda sucks to have to fiddle with the phone to skip tracks etc.
Thanks for any help
