Neat BT stuff

Hi;
Didn't find too many threads about the neatness of the Kaiser BT with certain devices. Though my main memory gets still eaten up like ther's no tomorrow I played a little bit today during lunch-time.
1.) External speaker/handsfree set:
I bought a blueant supertooth light since we have several phones in the family That's the most convenient way to have a mobile handsfree and no wires and literally NO installation.
Enable BT at the Kaiser, use BT-Audio (attached) and re-route device speaker output to the bluetooth handsfree speaker.
Voila, the TomTom Lady is talking to you load and clear. Eats up some battery but for that you have a car charger - NEAT!
Should work with popular motorola T305 and others as well.
2.) Car with AUX/iPod input:
Get an A2DP bluettooth kit (I have the i-tech clip R35) get a male/male 3.5 mm jack cable (preferable a little longer that you can use the mic), connect to the car. Not only that you can listen to the music stored on the kaiser through your car stereo ... call comes in, take call and listen through your speakersystem OR listen to regular radio or music, call comes in, press aux at your radio and ... talk.
NEAT - Thought I should share this!

doesn't seem to want to work for me. i get a " failed to enable BT audio" window when i try to use it

Could have a better user interface, I agree.
Do you use an external BT speaker/microphone or do you try to use AUX for your car stereo. If you use the car stereo NOTHING is required as long as you have an A2DP bluetooth set with external earphone jack.
With the car kit these are the steps that worked for me:
Enable BT in CommMgr?
Click BTAudioToggle
Click BTAudioOn
I put shortcuts in my menu one could even write a script or macro...

doesnt work for me

Post your config and what you did/do perhaps I can help

same thing as post #2,unzipped to SD, make shortcut,tried shortcut and direct file and both gave that error message

What speaker/headset do you have?
If it is a headset is it A2DP compatible?

jabra bt5020,dont think it's compatible

Hmmm
Bluetooth compliance: Bluetooth version 2.0 specifications
Supported Bluetooth profiles: Bluetooth headset and hands-free profiles
Try the following:
- Soft reset after you disabled bluetooth (to have a clear starting point)
- Enable bluetooth
- Check if it is connected
- Open settings
- Tap and HOLD on your headset
- Set as handsfree
- Set BTAudio ON (don't use the toggle)
- Open TomTom or whatever gives you some voice commands and check.
If it doesn't work ... well it doens't work with your headset ... sorry
If you REALLY want the function buy an itech or so for ~ 26 bucks

Diamond - using in-car, few issues...

Hi All,
I'm wanting to use my Diamond in the car to replace both my old iPod and sat-nav, while still having phone functions available. There are a few things I'm not happy with, so I thought I see what other people are doing.
I have a car head unit with a direct 3.5mm line-in, which used to have the iPod on the end. The Diamond works fine plugged into this through an ebay 3.5mm\USB adaptor.
If I plug the 12v>USB charger in, I get a whine over the audio - not a big problem, it's just a ground-loop, so I'll stick an isolating transformer in-line.
The main problem I have is switching between the internal speaker and the external output. If I want to have the radio on, rather than MP3, I have to unplug the adaptor, and plug the charging cable in direct, so that I can keep the battery charged - not ideal. This way I can hear the TomTom voices through the internal speaker, but it seems wrong to have to swap leads this way.
The other main problem is if I have MP3 and TomTom all through the stereo, and I get a call, I can hear the call over the stereo, but can't speak, as the Diamond is expecting an external microphone.
I guess what I need is a utility to force only the internal microphone to be used, and to allow me to force the internal speaker when I want to use the radio. It there such a thing?

I think one of these car holders has an option to plug in charger and usb-3.5mm jack adapter at the same time....

If i had the skills i'd try to figure out a hack to pause/mute the mp3 and mute satnav when in a call... but I don't.

That's not the problem - I can plug in the charger and 3.5mm audio at the some time, but that redirects all the audio to the car stereo, and disconnects the mic. Removing the adaptor and plugging in just the charger enables the microphone, but all my MP3s then are played through the internal speaker.
What I need is a utility to force the internal microphone to be used _all_ the time, and let me choose when to use the internal speaker when a headset is detected.

I don't suppose anyone knows how the Diamond recognises a headset? Is there a resistor link across a couple of the pins in the 11pin connnector? I'm just thinking I could make up a cable with a switch to break that contact, and 'virtually' disconnect the headset when I want the radio, or need the microphone active during a call.

You could try this program. It seems to be a virtual switch between the earpiece and external speaker. I use it a a solution for skype and other voip programs that only work through the external speaker, but the works the other way as well.

headset instaled but need phone mic allways enable

I have the same issue of kaisee.
I use the diamond as mp3 player in my car stereo (aux-in) and i need the mic allways available to use the phone without disconect the usb or audio plug.
In my old magician this worked just fine becouse the mic was allways available.
Is the .exe posted by dctech the answer(thanks man) ? has anybody tested ? is it reliable or there is another solution?
Thanks

You need a proper bluetooth car kit to allow this. Parrot ones are very good. If you want to listen to music as well as phone calls and sat nav i would suggest that you get one with both handset and A2DP bluetooth profiles. There is a workaround app you can use to get music through a car kit with just a handset or headset profile but the quality is mono and very poor

Bluetooth -> Aux Audio

Hi all,
is there a (cheap) solution for transmitting a Bluetooth signal (over my HD2) to Aux Audio? That would be great! Oh and I'm not looking for this for my car, but for a stereo music box (hope this is right word in English!)
greats!

Check these out ..... i bought them froom woot for 12$ ...you can connect ur cell phone to it using btooth and then put the aux cable instead of headphones..

And if you still decide to use it also as a handsfree for calling purposes check the sound quality of the mic before buying (call few friends with it and ask them if they hear you). I did not do it and now I have to use my Philips shb7100 just for listening music over a2dp because the mic is crap (or the AD conversion mechanism)

Bluetooth® Home Stereo Adapter DC800 [Motorola]
I use Motorola Bluetooth® Home Stereo Adapter DC800. this was a costly item 5 years back running up to 100 USD...but now a days you will find seconds everywhere on line and even the new one's shouldnt be too costly....
I am very happy with the performance...I connect my HD2 to this by Bluetooth
And DC80 has a output wire to my Home Theater....and it plays wonderfully.
I also have a Input wire into DC800 from my TV headphones jack....this allows me to use my Motorola HT820 headphones to listen privately late night shows when others are asleep....
try to find them in your country,..who know you might get a good deal on ebay/online.....

compatible car stereo (audio out through usb)

I'm looking into car stereos, and is there a way to get one with a usb port that I could do audio out of the phone through it?
Right now I have to cables needed for my phone in the car, power cable and headphones. I'm trying to see how I can eliminate the headphones, but still keep the ability to use my phone for music (while its charging). I keep my music on the internal storage (not SD), but also use Pandora or Audiogalaxy.
Also if there are any stereo units that can do this and have support for ipod of usb that would be great too.

almost every car stereo brand has one with usb ports but unfortunately I think you need one with an auxiliary out that will connect thru 3.5 mm headphone jack
edit: I think there might be some out there that have bluetooth for playing music actually

Check CrutchField.com and it should work just like you want. Go to best buy with your cable and plug into one of the HU's there and try it. Your music would need to be on the SD card and disk drive setup from the phone end I think

This means your phone will act as an USB thumb drive.. It may not be the same effect you want, but is a pretty good solution.

I use a nice sony head to stream the media audio to in my truck, often 8 or 10 hours a day, love it. A few head units will allow phone and audio seperately. The ability to connect bt headset and head unit to the phone is well worth the money if you spend much time driving

Pioneer offers many units that have the bluetooth built in that allow audio streaming and call interuption etc
I know in my 2011 Camaro i can do call audio and any audio on my Incredible (ie: music, sounds, games, videos all output audio via bluetooth since the radio acts as headphones) but of course were also talking about a stereo that has rare support for the Zune integrated right into the USB.

The sony in my 2011 freightliner does the media and phone seperately, phone can be connected to stereo and headset at the same time, mp3 thru the stereo and calls thru the headset. Even with the external mic for the stereo people got too much background noise. Car might be a little quieter inside tho

Is it possible to re-route sound output of AA to phone-car BT audio connection?

This is my setup:
Aftermarket head unit (IDCORE) connected through AUX to car stereo. AA is connected wireless (S10+, stock) with head unit; there is also car BT connected to mobile; when driving TWO active BT connections: 1, phone - car BT for audio and 2, IDCORE for AA).
And this is my problem:
AUX output (head unit -> car stereo) works, but has a quite annoying (static?) noise. Ground loop isolator is set, everything I can do hardware-wise is done -but the quality of AUX sound is MUCH LESS than it is when using BT phone-car connection (makes sense, Meridian built in system, with fiber optic).
Question:
considering above and that there IS an active phone-car BT audio connection during driving (beside the necessary AA-IDCORE connection) is there a way (software, app, switch?) to route AA sound through the phone-car BT audio connection, instead of the (noisy!) AUX wire?
Rooting of the phone is not an attractive option (due to my company account on the phone) - but I would be interested in any solution; as noise on the AUX output is quite disturbing. Thanks in advance

Have you checked the Bluetooth settings and checked music audio for the connection to the head unit?

Just did it. I CAN route music audio (in my case TuneIn) to BT in the settings of the phone (sounds, separate app sounds setting), but 1, this does not work (no sound over car BT from TuneIn, when using it on AA), 2, this setting can only be set for ONE application at the time (and I also use navigation, news service on AA), 3, the Android Auto app (the one I need?) does not show up in the application list of this setting. Still stuck.
My idea was (but I don't know if it is possible) a nifty app, that FORCES all sound (music, nav, news, etc) from the phone to BT (car), even when using AA.

I've got the same problem, using AA over USB and can't get Viper working because it doesn't stream over Bluetooth.

I have the same request. I have an AA unit attached to an original BMW X5 nav system. I can switch between them by long pressing the MENU button. The problem is that the AA unit can output sound only via audio jack and my car's system has fiber optics. The quality is very poor when compared. Is there anyway in which I can force my Android phone to output AA sound through car's BT? The AA unit has an option to do this for phone calls but unfortunatly not for regular sound (Spotify etc).

Anyone heard of anything related to this? I noticed that in the iPhones there is a setting in the accessibility options to route the audio through bluetooth. But there is nothing similar in AA. I can't believe this feature is not requested more.

Has anyone solved it? I'm struggling with the same thing.

I just ended up buying a BT transmitter which connects to my device's jack audio out and in turn it connects to the car's bt. It is stupid that there is no software solution to such a simple problem. Why can it do it for audio calls but not for music!? Why the iPhone can do it but the all configurable God of a mobile OSes simply can't?
Also, another idiotic thing of AA is that it doesn't allow you to switch the call to speaker or another bt device... in fact nothing happens when I get a call on the actual phone when connected to stupid AA. This is sooooo idiotic. Way to go android...

Aawireless also has a fewture that solves this also

Really? Where? What is it's name? Where do I access this?!

Aawireless: that is a piece of hardware again, isn't it (https://www.aawireless.io/)?
I look for an app/ software to solve this issue, if possible..

Aaahh I thought the reference was to Android Auto Wireless not a 3rd party hardware thing.
