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.

I've been getting comments that my volume is too low. The Galaxy Camera mic isn't the greatest for video...
How can I hook up a Bluetooth or USB directional or clip-on mic?
I tried both and neither register properly as the default audio device. How can I switch my audio device?
I found this, but re-ROMing my camera each time I change mics or update is less than optimal.. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748873. Surely this can be done with a simple app or terminal command to switch audio devices.
Apparently the mic audio works in the camera so I will need to cut up a set of headphones.
Hey Adam,
1st - i'm a big fan!
2nd - I'm trying to use my Jabra bluetooth headset as external mic so I don't have to be right next to the cam. Have you figured it out? Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers

Yeah, i've figured out that it doesn't work. Sorry. Bluetooth is not an option.
Hello again
Really often I use my phone as a media player, especially in my car, connected via headphones cable. Until now all works fine with all my devices, but with the Maze Alpha the sound is just in mono (left side) - with any app. In the android settings I disabled the sound reinforcement options but nothing is changed.
I know that the speaker plays sounds just in mono, but I found no hints in reviews that this is the same for headphones. If this device generally not able to play sounds in stereo, is this a big fail for the manufacturer.
So please check my issue and give me a feedback. I'd also be happy if someone can tell my a solution for this to get real stereo sounds.
Many thanks in advance and best wishes
Dan

Same issue here only one chanel
I haven't try to use it directly with large speakers though. It seems that you might need an amplifier to get the right sound despite defaulting to a stereo sound system only. The secret is to sound issue in Maze Alpha is to get quality earphones.
Hi. I tried looking through the forum via google, but didnt see anyone asking, so i would like to ask here.
I customized my Samsung Note 8 sound via Sound Quality and Effects -> Adapt Sound -> Personalize Sound for my Nakamichi earphones and the sound is superb. I love it.
I also spent hours to slowly tune my car audio system via it's amplifiers and my active sub-woofers. Playing from FM radio or MP3 via USB is fine and awesome. But when i play from my phone, it is horrible.
From time to time stream spotify or listen to mp3 stored on my phone to my car stereo system. I am currently just streaming via Bluetooth but the sound is aweful. the bass is off and too loud and it hurts. The sound will crack and it is just dreadful.
But i do not want to retune the Personalized sound on my phone or the amplifiers on my car.
I will be getting a new car btw, and it comes with android auto but i have yet to test my phone with android auto. the car dealer would not let me connect for "i dont know what reasons" so i am a bit worried the sound may come out horrible as well.
Is there a way to set separate sound profiles so i can switch them easily? For use in car and for use when using earphones via 2.5mm earphone jack.
Any help here is greatly appreciated.
I have a reverse problem of https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=4034259.
After upgrading to Android 10, no sound comes through the wired headset (which is plugged into a usb-c to 3.5mm adapter that came with the phone). I tried two different adapters, two different headphones - same behavior. The phone shows the "wired headset" icon in the status bar, but the sound comes via the phone's speaker (low volume, one needs to put the phone to the ear to hear it).
Bluetooth headphones work just fine.
Any idea what to do about it?
Do you have magisk installed? If so, which modules installed/active? Try disabling sound-tweaking ones. Do you disabled Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload? Is simple reboot helps?

No magisk. Simple reboot didn't help. Disabled A2DP, and it seems to have fixed the wired headphones issue, thanks!
Now to check if BT still works.
Thanks again
Yep, BT still works. Thanks a lot again!
Spoke too soon.
Something is still not right with the sound. Namely, no sound when making/receiving call on the phone. Works through the BT headphones or via the speaker.
