Toyota Avalon (or other Toyotas) and Built-In Bluetooth...how to stream audio?

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.

Use topaz as bluetooth headset / use on-board mic

I have searched everywhere and can't seem to find a answer to this...
I use a phone cradle in the car, using my topaz as my music player, connecting my phone to my car stereo with a male-male 3.5mm audio jack.
I want to be able to steam music via bluetooth from any other compatible phone / device to my phone, meaning I don't have to trail cables everywhere when a passenger wants to play something.
I would have thought this to be a simple-ish thing to setup but cannot find any information on how to do it. Is it even possible, and where would I start if it is?
I also want to use my on-board mic when the headset is plugged so I can have call audio over car speakers, although iv been led to believe this isn't possible because of hardware reasons, can anybody clarify that?
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum, not really sure where it should have gone.

If I understand you correctly, you want to stream music TO your phone over BT from another device? Not possible.
For hearing call over speakers and using mic, you need to get the M-F w/built in mic.

I too don't think it will be possible to stream music from another device to your phone except if you transfer the entire music mp3 file via bluetooth to your device and then play it from there.
Regarding the possibility of using the device's microphone whilst using the car speakers for sound, again I'm afraid I don't think this is possible. I have a similar set-up to you in that my TD2 is connected to an FM transmitter which also charges my TD2 at the same time in a nice cradle. The TD2 thinks it is connected to a headset when cradled. The microphone is inactive in this state which is a shame as it would have made a good hands free system if it were to be active....

I use this set up as well. You just need the cable with the built in mic.
My RF Transmitter has a male plug, So I found the HTC cable that has the HTC USB to Female with built in mic. This is my basic set up.

That set up looks great Bruce, but I don't want to be fiddling about plugging in so many cables with so many wires visible. Brodit does something similar too, all in a cradle with an extended wire so you would be able to hide all the cables....

Bluetooth Car Remote Help

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!

HTC One Dev. Edi. 64GB having issues with Car Aux Audio

I have always use my old galaxy s3 to listen to music on my car stereo via aux input, but for some reason my HTC is not working, I hear static through my car stereo when I plug in my HTC via aux but I get no sound at all. I don't have problems with my headphones. Can anyone try this on their car stereo to see if you have same issue. Thanks

I have 64GB Dev and listen to Spotify in car no problem, connected through headphone jack to ancient old tape adapter.

Ok looks like I just found the problem, the headphone auxiliary cable that connects from phone to radio auxiliary input has 3 line on pin, I use my desktop auxiliary cable that only has 2 lines in pin and it works. Its weird because I've use the 3 line auxiliary cable pin on my old Galaxy S3 to my car radio and it always worked.

[Q] Can you use bluetooth and the headphone jack at the same time on the Z3?

I'm considering pick up a Z3 Compact, and was wondering if anyone could tell me if you could listen to music via the headphone jack and have bluetooth connected for phone calls at the same time. I know that the Galaxy S3, for example, cannot do that, while HTC phones can.
Just so it's clear, this is what I'd like to do:
Headphone jack connected to car stereo's aux in for music, navigation audio, etc.
Bluetooth connected to car for hands free phone calls.
(My car is a few years old and can't do music over bluetooth.)
Can the Z3 do it?
Thanks!

Just tested with the sbh52 and Vizio sound bar auxiliary port.
Works just as you desire. When answering a call, the audio cuts from the headphone jack and routes to the Bluetooth device automatically. This occurs whether you answer from the phone or Bluetooth device. Upon hanging up, the music resumes playing and can be controlled with your Bluetooth device.
