I have a KENWOOD DDX512 model and I use the USB drive to listen to all my music. I connected MyTouch to the car stereo USB port to see if I can listen to PANDORA or the likes. Doesn't work. I can see some of my files on there and I keep hearing the NAVI voice from Google Maps and then it goes to the next file like FACEBOOK notification tone etc... It keeps repeating...
I was wondering if there's anyway we can connect the streaming app on to the car stereo? Maybe someone can create an app for that if there isn't one created yet?

pandora works fine like this on my incite going into a patch cable .
How did you get it to work?
You need to use a 3.5mm audio input on your stereo for things like that, I don't think that it will support USB audio for all apps. Your Mp3s, and certain other functions may work, but for 3rd party streaming apps, you'll be needing the 3.5mm jack (headphone jack)

just as the title says, is it possible to send music via bt to my stereo just like when i make or recieve calls?
not that i'd use this as a sole way to listen to music in my car, but i just started wondering if it were possible, and if so, how?
It's possible, but you have to make sure that your Stereo has the bluetooth profile for A2DP. It's the same pairing process, but instead of only streaming call audio it will stream any other audio too.
Also, the stereo will have a headphone icon under bluetooth preferences.
Hope this helps.
I do that all the time in my car. The sound quality is not as good as hooking up a cable through th aux jack. The nav direction also come through my car stereo.
Ah yes, I forgot about A2DP being needed... That would make my situation impossible... I'll just have to get a 3.5 mm to RCA plug for aux... Thanks guys.

I had some trouble with this, but the key for me was making my Pioneer head unit "forget" my previous phone. Now it works great!
Actually there is a way to stream music wirelessly to your car stereo: mini FM transmitters. Quite cheap on ebay. I wouldn't bet on audio quality tho.
I'm in my car a lot. So I like to listen to podcasts, Pandora or music from my Infuse. The problem I'm having now is that I just got a Bluetooth speaker that mounts to my visor.
What's happening is when I connect to the Bluetooth speaker and I want to listen to music instead of the music going through the auxiliary port it plays through my Bluetooth speaker. The only way I can fix this is to open my audio player (I use the one that came installed on the infuse) click the menu button and select "via phone." Then I get my podcast or music to play through the auxiliary port.
Is there a quicker way to do this or an easier way? I can't just open up Pandora and with my Bluetooth speaker connected have it play through my auxiliary port. It always defaults to playing through bluetooth if it's enabled and connected. I have to manually open my music player select a song then hit menu and change it to "via phone"
Its just frustrating. Any help is appreciated.
Dont think so. Why dont you just take your calls through the AUX port instead? i do that and it ways works fine. As for your bluetooth issue. Since your visor clip supports A2DP streamig it will automatically play through bluetooth since its connected

Optimus-Prime,
I suppose I could take my calls through the aux port the only thing is I have to jack up the volume to be able to hear the person on the other end. I also have not tested the quality of using my phones speaker vs the quality of the visor mounted Motorola Bluetooth device. I'm hoping/thinking the Motorola will have better audio quality. This I have yet to determine.

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to stream audio music and/or FM radio from Windows Phone 7 (I have the HTC HD7) to a non A2DP Bluetooth headset (I have the Jabra EasyGO).
It seems that I can only make and receive calls with it.
I've searched all over the place (and web) and cannot find a way to do that.
The only way is to get a new Bluetooth headset with A2DP capability?
Is there is a workaround, please let me know.
Thanks.
I don't know of one. As far as I know, the Headset profile is mono-channel only (plus another channel for the mic) anyhow, and probably quite low bandwidth, so it would likely sound awful.
Thanks for your answer GoodDayToDie.
But I don't mind for quality... Actually I'm not interested to listen for audio.
I just want, for example, to hear drive directions when I'm driving using navigation software (Navigon) instead of hearing from the loudspeaker.
Hmm... I thought the phone *would* use Headset profile for driving directions. Weird. I find the WP7 implementation to be so bad that I prefer to keep using a 4-year-old Garmin Nuvi instead, but I could have sworn I tested it and it came over the BT (and my car only has Headset, not A2DP). Maybe poke around in Settings?
Alternatively, if your car has Aux In, you could use a ripping cable (double-ended headphone cord, they're very cheap) and then the phone will play instructions over the cable into the car's stereo. This is also a great way to use the phone's music player, including Zune Pass if you have it, to play music in the car (I do this all the time). It uses less battery than having Bluetooth transmitting constantly would anyhow.
my car stereo sees the tablet as a device, but doesnt play the music through it...i have 2 icons on the stereo..one for phone, and one for music...the phone icon lights up, but no music icon and no music through it....any ideas? Seems strange that the stereo sees the tablet as a phone......running honeycomb rom.
I also have a usb headset...can i plug it in to the tablet?, or do i have to get a converter to gofrom usb to a jack?....Thanks all

Some possibilities...
The phone profile for bluetooth (mono) is different from the music player profile for bluetooth (stereo). It is possible that
the music (A2DP) profile is not working for your rom. Look for A2DP bluetooth support wherever you got the rom from.
You could check if your rom can talk to a bluetooth A2DP (stereo) headphone/headset. Also make sure your car stereo supports A2DP too (it probably does).
Alternatively you could play music using the mono profile
using something like Super BT Mono app which has a free trial.
If you listen to audiobooks/podcasts this might be ok. I know
this works for Froyo, not sure for honeycomb.

I doubt if this will work. Probably needs a driver for the Android
which does not exist.

Hi all
Having got a new HTC ONE I have decided to use my sensation as a mapping/gps device.
I have got tomtom for android on it and in th epast I have just used the phones internal speaker.
My car stereo has a aux in jack so I was wondering if it is possible to get a Bluetooth adaptor to play the audio into the car stereo
But ( there always has to be a but) can I stream music at the same time?
ideally I would like the tomtom to cut out the music but I don't think it out puts the correct profile but even if it just plays over the top that could work.
is this possible or if not would it work via a cabled connection?
thanks
