Does anyone know of an app that will allow you to use the wired headphones for audio but use the bluetooth headset as a remote/mic?
Would make my rides so much easier as ive not found a decent way to wire everything up and itd be simpler to just attatch the bluetooth headset to my bag for emergency calls/changing track.

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.
Hello. I am really struggling....I need a over the ear bluetooth headset which supports A2DP. I don't want any solution which implies earphones...like jabra BT3030 or any similar 'a2dp' box where you can connect your earphones through 3.5mm jack.
So it seems really impossible to find a normal headset which can send me (for exemple) sounds from the games I play on android while on the bus while remaining available to phone calls without switching headsets.
I googled a lot. I found jabra Bt530, bt8040, jabra extreme, there is a jabra 8010 hard to find which costs a kidney....
is there anything CHEAP that can do the job? The items listed above cost really too much for what they are. And I repeat, I am really not interested in those solutions where you need to use wired earphones with the bluetooth adapter...there is no point of having a bluetooth headset if you anyway have to have wires all over your jacket...
I actually just found an application (bluetooth switcher) that can send every sound from the phone to any bluetooth headset! In my case, I was wearing a gioteck EX-02 (it is a PS3 headset).
Well it is a nice solution...although this headset doesn't have a call button to answer the calls....but yeah I can have music and games on this non-A2DP headset! Wonderful!
I'll wait for your replies though...sure I am missing something...
I wanted the same thing. I got a Blueant T1. It is wonderful.

Actually have 2 in the house. Hate recommending it because it is bb branded, but they work.

thank you for the reply. yes your answers are a good alternative...unfortunately the headsets linked are pretty expensive for what they offer...I think I'll stick with my Gioteck EX-02 which i can use with both the ps3 and the mobile phone...now that I have found this application on android that can redirect every sound to a normal non-A2DP headset, I don't need a new headset with A2DP protocol.
As soon as I get a chance, though, I'll compare the quality: I don't know if it's the headset itself, the bluetooth transmission of my phone, or the low quality broadcast by the android application that redirects the sounds....but the sounds in games don't sound really wonderful. I'll have to check this as soon as I get the chance to try a 'real' A2DP headset.
thank you all
Hey guys, I've got a motorcycle helmet with a bluetooth add on which supports stereo music and phone calls. The stereo speakers are located in the helmet and they're great for around town but when I'm on the freeway I like to use earbuds instead. On my original Droid if I plugged in my headphones they would override the bluetooth audio but I would still be able to control some aspects of the music with my bluetooth controls (track forward, track back). Anyway on the Droid X if I plug in my headphones they do not override bluetooth audio, no sound comes through the headphones so in order to play music through my earbuds I have to turn off bluetooth all together. My question is this, is there somewhere I can edit bluetooth priorities? I would like plugged in headphones to have first priority, I'm sure it must be possible since the Droid allowed me to do this, but I'm not sure how to go about doing it. I would really appreciate any insight on this, I've heard tasker may be able to do this but so far have been unable to make it work. Thanks!
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.
anyone know of an app or other way to get call audio through stereo bluetooth receiver? Most people want to go the other direction and get their music through ear piece or in car bluetooth calling. I want to use my stereo bt audio receiver to accept the mono audio from calls as well. This way i could use the phone hands free when connected to my stereo.
I found this discussion which indicates its not going to work. Interesting though cause i would think itd be an easy thing to just force the call audio through
