Is there a car stereo (or an adapter) that will let me stream audio from my phone to my car stereo? I have bluetooth on my phone (with the stereo A2DP protocol) and have tons of music on it. I have a stereo bluetooth headset that I use all the time. I was just thinking it would be awesome if I could have the output play thru my car stereo instead of my headset.
Does anyone know of a car stereo that does this? Or does anyone know of an adapter you can put on a car stereo to make it do this?
On that note- what are the best car stereos out there that have built in bluetooth for talking on the phone?
Sony has at least 2 model for this but I think the sound quality is not that good. Finally brought a JVC BT-1 and it's very good in sound quality.
Another route is to have a A2DP adapter w/ 3.5mm. Sony DS-205 is one of the best I tried in sound quality. Unlike others, the A2DP still work while charging.
Excellent, thanks for the info!
I have one of those sony xplode that have the built in bluetooth, it works great!
Alot of the new car head units you have to buy adaptors to enable bluetooth on them though. But like mentioned earlier there are some sonys that have it built in.

I'm on my second Audio adapter from Pocket PC Techs: http://www.pocketpctechs.com/detail.asp?Product_ID=PPCPADPT01. The first one would sometimes only play the left or right speaker and I'd have to jiggle the wire on the adapter for it to play properly. I returned this for a second one which worked fine up until last week when it started to pop the speakers in the car when the slightest jostling of the wire occured (hitting bumps). I've got it connected to the XDA 2 and then to a cassette adapter with 3.5mm jack in the car. The cassette adapter works fine on the iPAQ H3970 and the XDA 2 works perfectly with the included stereo headset. Another problem with the PPCTechs audio adapter is that the microphone doesn't work in the 2.5mm headset jack part.
I know there are people out there who have canibalized their included stereo headsets to make audio adapters and also people who have made their own USB adapters with audio out capabilities. Is anyone interested in making one for me?! I can send a canibalize-able stereo headset with the proper audio jack if needed.
I would like either:
- A modified stereo headset cable with microphone that connects to a female 3.5mm stereo headset jack.. or directly to a car cassette adapter.
...or...
- A serial port connection that can output stereo audio to a 3.5mm female audio jack, includes a microphone or 2.5mm mono headset jack, and provides charging capabilities.
I imagine the former choice would be easier, but none of my local electronics repair shops want to do it and I don't have the tools or experience to do it right. The latter would be nicer. I'd buy a car kit, but I havn't seen any that work with the XDA2 and provide audio out that can connect to the car stereo. I want both stereo music/movies to be played in the car stereo speakers as well as GPS navigation commands and (sometimes) phone calls... and I want Voice Command to work (hence the need for a microphone)!
Please PM me with costs if some one can do this for me.
Adamz- Did you push in the connector from the Audio all the way in? I used the handsfree set ( supplier with MMDA II) and it was not working properly and was also loose until I found that you have to really push it firmly.
I am suprised if you did do that and it still does not work as you said it has all the connectors
I am also looking for a similar solution using the same principle. The other sync input I use for mt GPS connector/ charger . was going to try the Audio adaptor that you are using with a mute box through to a speaker .
Can any one help?

Did you read this topic?
Maybe this might work for us.

Nah, I want stereo quality music to be played in the existing speakers in my car. I also want GPS navigator instructions to be played in the car stereo as well as phone calls. I've got a Bluetooth GPS reciever, so I don't really need a serial connection.
The PPCTechs adapter is fully inserted into the audio jack, although sometimes pushing it too far makes it stop working as well! But if I jiggle the wire, sometimes it does work... then if I hit a bump, maybe it will stop working.
I'm thinking the USB Cradle with Audio might be good. If that's got a 3.5mm female stereo jack in the back, I can plug the casette adapter into that. Plug the USB into a cigarette lighter adapter... and that should be all set sinc the Audio USB cradle supposedly has a microphone in it.
Those don't seem to be available yet though.

how can i listen to music on my touch pro through my car speakers?
i have a 98 honda, it cant play mp3 cds and doesnt have a headphone port ...
Your stereo would have to have an Audio Input of some kind, unless you can find an FM transmitter with a 3.5mm input.
I can use my FM transmitter to stream anything from my guitar amp to my Fuze through my car stereo....
Makes for a great life
you can buy an htc connector to 3.5 mm adapter on ebay for like 2 bucks (but it shipd from china so youll have to wait a couple of weeks to get it).. then go to cvs and buy a coby 3.5 mm to tape deck adapter for 9.99. (im sure if your car is that old it has a tape deck)
I use a Satechi BLUETOOTH to FM transmitter. It receives the music output from my phone via A2DP and re-transmitts it via FM to the car radio. It also answers calls and serves as a handsfree for the car. Bought it in Amazon.
I use the Motorola T505
Bluetooth -> FM

I am thinking about picking up the Atrix 2 AT&T car charging dock but I would also like to have the phone be able to transmit music etc to my car stereo. My car stereo does not have bluetooth or an aux jack on it so I am thinking of also getting a Roadster or TC505 FM transmitter.
What I am worried about is how my bluetooth headset will function with this setup. If I'm driving in the car, listening to music coming from my phone, going through an FM transmitter to my car stereo, and I get a call, I want to be able to answer the call on my bluetooth headset and NOT on the FM transmitter device because I may need to exit the vehicle before the call is over.
Does anyone have any experience with a setup like this or something similar? Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I would honestly either A) have an aux jack installed or B) get a head unit that has aux/usb. For the amount you spend on an fm transmitter these days it is more than half the cost of either of those options. About 6 years ago the fcc said the fm trasnmitters were putting too many radio waves out so they tuned them down and ever since they are not as good of quality. Finding the old ones is hard and expensive but would work better. If you went the aux/usb route your bluetooth should know to pick up and use the headset and not speakers. This is what I have done for my last 2 cars
+1 you can find a cheap head unit with an aux jack for less than $100. You won't be happy with the sound quality from a transmitter.

hey guys please i bought myself a car stereo sony mex bt5100- which has built in bluetooth support
, but then i came across some sites that recommend using the new bluetooth adapters like kinivo adapter saying that they support bluetooth aptx.
so which do u think will produce a better sound the built in bluetooth in my car stereo or using my car stereo with the new bluetooth adapter
As we all know that sound via headphone jack in honor devices is not that great. So i wanted to know if thats the same case for bluetooth earphones too or do they sound better compared to the wired ones?
technically, it's no doubt that wired has better delivery of sound quality. if you really want portability and comfort without dangling wires the best option is to go wireless.
in my own preference I like wired earphones,
wired one are always Better then bluetooth speaker /headphones
Used both Bluetooth earphones and wired headphones with Honor view 10. Bluetooth headphones sound a lot better. Also, connected via auxiliary cable and bluetooth in my car. Bluetooth is way better.
My oneplus 5 shows no difference in sound quality on connecting with auxiliary or bluetooth in my car.
