Hey Guys,
I'm currently in the process of converting the Galaxy Tab to be the new head unit in my car, the car's wired and ready to go but have one problem.
I really need a bluetooth media remote for the Tab so that I can change the tracks and volume without having to constantly look down at the Tab as I'm driving. The Tabs 3.5mm audio jack is going to my car stereo and would like a simple remote to control tracks and volume levels.
Don't really need one with a line out as that's already handled by the Tab, just a simple remote to control music, any ideas?
There are some amps that are called mini or floor amps. They have a remote control that controls everything from volume to bass. Search hexxamillion over at mp3car.com his install is done.
I hope thos helps you!

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'm just curious what would be the best way to get all of the new music on my Captivate onto my car speakers when driving. I have built in bluetooth in the car and would love if there is a way to use a software solution to stream the music. If that's not possible I'm a bit lost on what the preferred method would be. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Here's what I found with a quick google search:

Scroll down to the bluetooth section and there is a "setup" portion
If your BT stereo supports A2DP, then just stream from the Cappy to the radio. I do that and it sounds great. I also have a 3.5mm jack on the front, but that is an analog signal and the difference in sound quality, while slight, is noticeable. My car radio links automatically with my phone when I get in (so long as BT is enabled on the phone) and both hands-free and BT audio profiles are connected. All I have to do is start the music player on the phone and the radio switches input automatically. It also switches to phone profile and pauses the music player when a call comes in.
Thanks for both of the responses.
I'll have to check the link in a minute and I'll have to research about my BT connection supporting A2DP as well, but I appreciate the options. Hopefully one will work.
I'm really hoping the A2DP option works, that would be ideal for me, but it is a VW factory BT option that's on the car, so I'm not sure how sophisticated it is.
I'll try to remember to get back here with a post, in the event someone in the future stumbles on this thread looking for the same advice.
Auxiliary cable?

I have a Captivate running a custom ROM with a custom Kernel.
There had been some grumblings about the speaker port not working correctly for quite a while, but I think they have now resolved it.
I wasn't sure if this was going to be an issue, so I was hoping for something along the lines of a BT connection solution.
Unfortunately, I just read the following piece of garbage info from a different site:
Audio streaming is NOT Supported on 2010 Passat, EOS, Tiguan, CC, Jetta TDI sedan or Touareg
Looks like Aux. cable for me.

Man, that's too bad. You'd think a 2010 vehicle would be up to date with the tech. I know some older cars were hands-free profile only because A2DP was not widespread, but a 2010 not having it is just silly. My radio is an aftermarket Sony I bought in 2009 and it not only supports music streamin via BT and has a 3.5mm AUX input, it has a USB port that I can put a thumbdrive with music in and a port in the back for an iPod (if I was stupid enough to own one and pay for the optional cable) and it also has HD radio. VW is usually further forward than most imports. Oh well, at least you can do the cable thing. Get a quality one, some cheapies are known to short contacts and cause problems.
I use a AUX input in my car and it works pretty well. The only complaint I really have is the sound is at a lot lower volume than radio and mini-usb port.

Not to point out the obvious, but you do realize that the AUX port is multi-volumed.....right?
You turn up the volume on your handset AND you turn up the volume on your car stereo.
From what I've read, it appears you should turn your "media volume" up to 50-80% and leave it there, then use your car stereo volume button to alter the overall volume.
If it's still not loud enough from there, either you have a short or something is up with your output.
Your ears should be bleeding.

Yea, I turn the volume up all the way on my phone whenever I plug it in. It was the same way when I used my iPod Touch.

Hi people,
Does anyone know if there is an app/hack I can use so that when I pair up my Jabra BT3030 Dog tag unit to my i9000, audio is still sent through the 3.5mm stereo jack instead of via Bluetooth audio?
The reason being is that the audio quality loss does my head in when I'm playing music off my phone via bluetooth in my car. I would prefer to control the tracks with AVRCP on remote while audio is still outputted through 3.5mm.
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers
Hey, I spent a while to get this to work on my I9000 but then I found it works by default like this on the Galaxy SIII so that may give you something to investigate.
I had the idea to Disable the Sink service in the audio.conf file but as it works for me now I haven't investigated it.
is there any remote control or an app that will allow me to change the music without first having to hit the power button to turn the screen on then press the next button while driving?

there are many many different bluetooth solutions in the market, that can do much more than just skipping songs remotely. Adapters, Radios etc. . if your car radio doesn't have bluetooth, there are several bluetooth remotes that connect through aux.

i have a gm9aux or whatever adapter on my cd player that has two rca inputs can you recommend one or a couple with controls for changing songs via bluetooth?
was looking at this adapter http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10827&cs_id=1082704&p_id=7364&seq=1&format=2
but like i said i need one with controls for changing songs as well
my car has steering wheel controls and there are tons of adapters for controlling iphones and ipods with it but none for the hd7 or windows phones
maybe Parrot MKi9100? - that one would enable you, to skip your songs, but also use voice comands, it also includes a handsfree set. Please search the web for more options on bluetooth adapters. Wait, in your case, mybe a new car radio fits your needs - one that connects to your steering wheel controls and has bluetooth to use with the windows phone - there would be the JVC KD-R721BT on the cheap.
Thank you 123fels321 that parrot kit will work perfectly i think for my application..
the only reason i do not replace the headunit in the car is because mine is a monsoon which is 1.5din and aftermarket stereos look like crap in the car while the stock unit looks perfectly fine and sounds decent enough after a speaker upgrade. so I am pretty much stuck with the monsoon.
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
