I used an HP iPAQ 6955 (WM5) for nearly 2 years prior to my newly acquired Touch Pro. It had the ability to use my BT headset as an "Audio Gateway" which is EXTREMELY convenient when using a GPS NAV application as you get the directions in your ear, rather than through the phone's speaker.
I can't seem to find anywhere on the Touch Pro to enable this "feature"? My BT headset works great for calls, but I cannot get any other audio sent to the headset.
Ideas?

I am having the same trouble. I'm trying to stream internet radio from my Fuze to my car through the bluetooth. I can send/receive calls and everything is great but can't play music. When paired the option for Stereo Headset is grayed out and it only works as a regular earpiece. I have tried the Blue Music and BT audio with no luck. Neither one worked.
Any other ideas?

Have you done it (using BTAudio) the right way? You have to connect your BT headset FIRST and THEN start the BTAudio application and switch it to on. Don't forget to switch it to off afterwards.

Your car's bluetooth system may not support streaming audio. Mine does not, even though it pairs in stereo with my fuze.

I read the manual and it says that it does support streaming music if the phone supports it. So I assume there is something needed in the phone. I looked in the Advanced Config Tool 3.3 and under the Bluetooth category there are two services listed for Audio Gateway and that is disabled by default. Is that something that could be the problem?
Works great!

Finally got around to installing the BTAudio earlier this week, and it works great. I now get the GPS directions in my Bluetooth headset, as well as other audio alerts, like new e-mail and SMS alerts.
Only gripe is that after answering a phone call, you have to stop and start the BTAudio app again. Guess it's the price of getting what I want?

I am looking for a quick and easy way to integrate my trinity with my car.
Currently I have have a generic car mount with charger. However, I find that TomTom and telephone calls over the speakers are too quiet.
I was thinking of installing a Parrot MK6000 in my car as a method to stream audio from my trinity to the car stereo whilst also acting as a car kit for hands free use while driving. Has anybody had any experience with wiring up this kit? is it easy for a moderate level electronics users (able to solder wires proficiently etc.) to wire up?
Alternatively does anybody know of other solutions to integrate the trinity with the car stereo?
Hello:
I installed this hands free in my car, and it works really fine as a hands free. The audio streaming works well too, but the sound is quite methalic. With tomtom, there is a delay in the sound, the first word it says, for example "...Turn on the left in...." you listen "...urn on the left in ..." and it hanpens allways when tomtom starts to talk.
My OS version is wm5 and I read that wm6 solves this problem.
I recently bought a LG LAC7700R (carstereo with bluetooth and cd/mp3/wma player, with a seperate mic you can place somewhere in your car) works good, up to 5 phones can connect, last six called contacts it will remember. no phonebook in carstereo. Carstereo mutes automaticly by incoming call. You can even use BT audiostream.
i have always BT on, on my phone, it will connect by itself with the carstereo.
works fine for me.
now i am looking for a nice phoneholder with only a charger.

I have a similar setup, with the Sony MEX-BT2500 instead.
However I did not manage to route the Tomtom or iGO sound over the BT A2DP stream.
As a charging holder I have the Brodit Cradle installed.

check this, maybe it will help:
goto bt settings in your phone and activate bluetooth stereo on. that's the thing for play mp3's and navigationvoices over BT. The handsfree mode is for phone voice. (leave that on!)
does sony support a2dp ? maybe that's the problem.

Actually I bought the Sony because it supports A2DP. And with MortPlayer it works flawless when listening music. With activated Bluetooth Stereo (Headphone Symbol in top bar) Tomtom still uses the internal speaker.

I have a BlueTrek G2 bluetooth-headset. I think I must install first a special driver (widcomm??) to hear music through this type of device.

No, you should not have to do this. A2DP works really well out of the box, I've paired it to 3 different A2DP devices issues. Do you have MS VoiceCommand installed? I have had conflicts with MS VoiceCommand and A2DP where after using VC no sound comes out from A2DP, but I haven't had the time to play around and figure what prompts the issue as it doesn't happen consistently.
EDIT: It wasn't MS VoiceCommand that was causing my issues. It was having the phone on vibrate. That stops sound from coming over A2DP, as does pressing the volume down button (duh, stupid me).
I just paired it, and it worked (Jabra BT620s.) Make sure you check the correct box for what feature to use when pairing.
does it work at samsung wep210 any setting need to change?
Hmmm... I can not make it work with my car stereo (Pioneer DEH-P75BT).
Anyone succeded in making it work with Pioneer car stereo DEH series?
P75BT just sits there and waits for connection, even if it is already connected and functional as handsfree device...

Handsfree and A2DP are two different things. The Bluetooth Handsfree profile is intended for making phone calls (speak). That's your old school lousy quality mono headset. The A2DP profile on the other hand has decent quality stereo streaming but is only supported by newer devices.
Are you sure your Pioneer supports the 'real' A2DP? And if it supports both, Handsfree and A2DP, make sure you select the right service when connecting.
Hmmm... here's quote from device's brochure:
Make calls and stream music via your Bluetooth CD Tuner - the DEH-P75BT supports both handsfree and audio profiles from your mobile phone.
But, good question is does music streaming support real A2DP... Wireless stereo might not be A2DP compatible...
Hey All,
I have a Diamond, and a cardo rider Q2 for my motorbike helmet. They pair up nicely for phone calls, but I cannot get music to stream to the helmet.
All other functions work fine. If I press a button on the phone the sound of the button comes through.
The annoying thing is that my friend has a N95 and it works just fine, so I know the headset is capable.
Is there some setting that I need to change? Or a download to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated. And please take it easy on me as I am not very capable with technology.
Thanks In advance
Adam
Adam,
Double click on the icon of the paired headphones on the bluetooth screen and make sure that Wireless Stereo is ticked.
The system is using two profiles- one for phone calls (headphones) and the other for music (Wireless Stereo). Yout helmet BT earphones should be able to switch in between as long as they are enabled.
CD
Hey CD, thanks, I tried that, but..
When I do that it only gives me the option of "hands free".
If I plug in my wired HTC head phones while maintaining the blue tooth connection to my helmet and play music the music comes through the wired headset, but when I try to voice activate an outgoing phone call the music changes from the wired headset to the bluetooth headset temporarily.
I have the same problem (posted on another thread) Jabra 320's I use to cycle to work, worked OK with my SE W880i. But like you the TD only registers 'hands free', I have checked the profile in BT and it only shows hands free, there is no BT Stereo box to tick/untick. I have tried installing/uninstalling and using a third party BT program (recommend in a previous thread) and have just upgraded to the new official Rom all to no avail.
I think the TD likes some stereo headset's but sees some others as just a mono handsfree unit.

I have the same Jabra 320's... finally got them working as Wireless stereo pressing the main button again and again during pairing... I didn't know it was going to work - It was out of frustration!!!
I tried several times with my 320's (deleted, re-installed, tried different ways/software) all to no avail.
There is a software upgrade for the 320's on the Jabra site but you need a special usb connector to flash the unit.
In the end I picked up the newer BT3030 cheaply on e-bay and they were recognised straight away as Handsfree and stereo BT streaming.
Both the 320's and 3030's have the A2DP profile, so not sure why the don't see the 320's correctly?
So happily cycling to work again with the BT3030 and listening to BT stereo.
In order for you to do what you want your headset must support A2DP Bluetooth profile (and even if it does it may not work!). That is the profile needed to send stereo music from the HTC. Most handsfree units do not do that - they just support headset and handset Bluetooth profiles.
There is a utility available called BTMusic that can be downloaded free from here. This will allow music to be sent using the headset or handset Bluetooth profiles, and it worked with my Parrot car kit, so it may work for you. The problem is that it is mono only and the quality of the sound is not brilliant - after all these profiles were never designed for that.
So the alternative is to find a new headset that supports both handsfree and A2DP profiles and works with both.
umm yea... i went through EVERY SINGLE thread this thing has. none of the programs work for me period.
I am coming from using a Motorola Q9H. When paired with my bluetooth headset (Plantronics Voyager 520), the Q9H would deliver all audio (phone calls, notifcation sounds, Skyfrie, Youtube, etc) through the bluetooth headset. The Fuze doesn't seem to do this. Is there a way to force this functionality, though? I have Advanced Config installed, if that helps any.
Please search the forum. This has been covered many times.
Hint look in Setting/Personal look in there for your answer!

I can't get all sounds through my voyager 520 either. I can do it with my Cardo S-2 stereo bluetooth headphones though, it seems like the Raphael doesn't support that out of the box for non-A2DP profile devices. Sound quality for anything but phone conversations suck through a regular headset anyway. You should really invest in some stereo bluetooth headphones, it's worth it!
Well, the only reason I want to do it is for the odd Youtube video on the bus and such. Quality isn't a concern since I don't listen to music from my phone.
I recently got a set of bluetooth stereo headphones, but before I did, this worked fine for me.

Thank you. I'm going to try that after work.
One thing, if I leave the toggle on, and then disconnect the BT, will it then play the sounds through the speakerphone as usual and then back through the BT as soon as I connect the BT again?
I know the sounds went through the speaker after turning off the BT headset. I think I had to run the toggle app twice to get the sounds to go through the BT headset again (once to disable the old orphaned BT pairing, once to enable it with the new one). I'm not sure about that, though, and can't try it conveniently, as I just flashed a new ROM and didn't bother installing the toggle app since I didn't need it with the new stereo headphones.
Thanks. I'll give it a try and see what happens.

Dunno what to say. My initial motivation for trying it out was to route amAze GPS navigation instructions through my bluetooth headset, and it worked fine for that. Worked for TCPMP video sound, too. I don't know why TomTom would be different.

Maybe it's headset/handsfree profile difference?
When bt is connected in the car (which is equipped with bt through the stereo...not a headset), only calls go through the car bt system, any other audio, including navigation, is muted. Does this sound like it is acting correctly to y'all? This means I must disconnect fm bt every time I use navigation and then the volume is too low cuz it's coming from crappy phone speaker...bummer. thanks for suggestions/thoughts.

When going into the bluetooth settings, you should see your stereo listed under "Bluetooth devices". Long-press your stereo and select "Options...". Make sure both "Phone" and "Media" are checked.
My Ford vehicle, using their Sync product, works just as you described.

I have sync too and it can be finicky at times, though it is an older version of sync (2.0 i think). If i start my car without bluetooth already enabled on the phone it disables the media portion of blutooth and defaults to "line in" until i manually go through the sync settings and pick "bluetooth audio". Then everything works fine.

What car/car stereo?
My '11 Saab 9-4x SUV with Bose Nav system connects to my TB for BT Headset/Handsfree profiles, and occasionally (like when I don't have a HTC Sense Facebook account configured) to BT Phonebook Access Profile (so I can call up my TB's phone book on the Bose Nav System's screen.
Because of the BT Headset/Handsfree profile, only PHONE CALL audio comes through the car stereo. All other sounds, including Google Maps/NAV, music, ring tones, Rhapsody, movies, etc comes out the TB's speaker.
HOWEVER when on a phone call, if Google Maps/Navigation is running on the phone, I'll hear the spoken directions across BT.
The same is true if I use my Moto H790 BT head set.
All audio passes through on my wife's 2011 Taurus with Sync. I can stream audio via mpdroid to my phone and play it through her stereo via BT; I believe she uses Nav through it as well.
EDIT: Sync is ridiculously buggy, fortunately updating the firmware is fairly easy
