no problems here. tested my ac p311, emerson em510 and plantronics backbeat 903.
I just tried it out with my old school bluetooth handset and it works fine...
It looks like your headset is probably the issue. what model is it?

i have Sony DR-BT21G which pair for both phone and media playback, but i cannot get my Sennheiser PX 210 BT to pair with media. They pair with phone which is kind of useless since they don't have a mic, but i cannot get them to pair for music playback. The Sennheisers worked great on my Nokia N900. Gingerbread is supposed to tweak Bluetooth so i am waiting for OTA update from my carrier (Wind) before i experiment with ROMs.
SOLVED found an options menu for the headset, unchecked use for phone, checked, use for media, and it works GREAT!
UPDATE: Sennheiser remote controls do not work. No NEXT TRACK, PAUSE/PLAY etc.
No problem staying connected to my blueant v1 or my car. What ROM are you on?
Works well with my Moto S9-HD and 8xxPlantronics headsets, both for phone use and music. Didn't notice any difference after gb update from stock.
Just bought a Samsung TMOM62482 Hand free stereo headset. It works well on TG01 for the music, but the in-line MIC not working (it supposed to be working for phone).

How can I make the music play through my headset?
Depends what quality you want.... a2dp bluetooth headsets will do this no problem, and with good quality. If you have a basic bluetooth headset, grab super mono froyo or bt mono from the market. It will "hack" audio streaming to your bluetooth. I use it everyday for podcasts. I easily get 8+ hours battery life on my headset as well ( just a plantronics voyager). I bought an a2dp headset that really sucks (jabra stone 2) only gets like 1.5 hours.

Thanks!

Hey all
I just ordered this clip and am excited to get it. I am just wondering if any of you geniuses can add the software to our Sensations to support the aptX audio enhancement CODEC?

Premium music for those on the go
Wirelessly stream music from your HTC phone through your car stereo speakers with the Car StereoClip (Aux). Just plug the adaptor into a 3.5mm auxiliary port, and listen to premium, authentic sound thanks to embedded apt-X enhancement.
Are you on Sense 3.6 or 4.0? Either way you should let us know how it works w/ your sensation.
Maybe that's why we're having BT issues on 4.0 ports... the new codec? meh, just a random thought.

I am on Android Revolution HD 6.6.3 XE so Sense 3.6
The Stereo clip should be shipping at the end of this month.
I'm very excited for this! I've been looking for a good adapter for AGES! I was about to buy a bluetooth adapter to a headphone jack to stream my phone audio to the car stereo via bluetooth to headphone jack. But this looks perfect and reliable. Hopefully it'll work out

Just wanted to add that this dongle has an imbedded battery (6-8 hour estimated), with a micro USB charging port.
I hope to be able to hide this away in my car, and run continuous power to it so I don't have to take it back out again. Hopefully some reviews with good info come out
Since it's a Bluetooth adapter, would it work with other phones via A2DP? Or does it work specifically with HTC phones using a proprietary connection/codec (aptx)?

The way I understand it is that it'll work on either.
Hey all, well the HTC Car StereoClip came in today. I am very pleased, it works just like advertised. It lets me connect via Bluetooth to the clip and play Music thru to my car stereo. When a call comes in it defaults to regular phone earpeice mode and does not try to play the phone call thru bluetooth.
First quick impressions, audio quality is fine. What I am really wondering is would audio quality really jump up in quality if we had the aptX audio enhancement CODEC in the Sensation?

Have you used an auxillary cable to play audio through your car stereo before using the clip? If so, how would you say the audio quality compares?
I currently use an aux cable to play music through my stock stereo on my TSX but the quality is pretty mediocre...

OK, so I guess that means that the phone (One X in my case) can't connect to both this device AND my bluetooth built-in car kit - one for streaming music and one for phone calls?
My car (BMW) has a factory Bluetooth kit installed but, unfortunately, it doesn't support music streaming. I have been using a cable to connect my phone's head phone socket to the AUX-in port of the car and this has been working fine. Music streams via the cable and get's muted when a call comes in via the Bluetooth kit and then un-muted when the call finishes.
I was hoping to pair my phone to both Bluetooth devices and have them working simultaneously, one for music output and the other for phone calls.
Too much to ask for?
Software fix?
...When a call comes in it defaults to regular phone earpeice mode and does not try to play the phone call thru bluetooth...
It really quite stupid that you can't also use this devise for phone calls. When a call comes in, it should remain using the BT. I wander if there is a way to make it work? Perhaps some sort of software or app or something to make this happen...

I guess thats why they also sell the car mic (v100) as a separate piece to the car accessories stuff.
I have both on order, but both are in backorder. Expansys.usa for the car mic and sprint.com for the stereo clip. I'll let you all know how it all works together.

Can you confirm that indeed call does not come through even when there is only a single device pared (mobile and A100)? That would really be shame as this might have been the perfect solution for hands free calling, having mic from the phone for outgoing audio and car speakers for incoming audio.
The easiest way to tell is just to look at the bluetooth pairing settings for the stereoclip, is it just pairable as a media device, or media as well as phone?
Hey All
Ok I wanted to give an update. I am extremely please with StereoClip.
My car is a 2005 Cadillac STS with Nav and factory Blue-tooth for phone but does NOT support Blue-tooth Audio. So I have had to use the AUX in for Pandora until now. The stereo is the factory 15 speaker BOSE system plus a Kicker 10" sub in a custom fiberglass enclosure with its own 1,000 watt amp.
Tonight I just compared the sound quality of Blue-tooth vrs being wired/plugged in. I was nicely surprised that I could not tell a bit of difference in quality. This was done parked in my garage with the car on. I listened to Jazz, Rap, Latin, and Techno. I listened for bass quality, highs, openness, and to my surprise I could not truly tell how I was connected. I was positive that being connect via blue-tooth I was NOT going to get the same sound quality, that I would give up some quality for convenience. Well at least in my 15 min quick test of starting a song listening to it for a min or so then switching how its connected to the car stereo and continuing the song I could not hear any difference. Very happily surprised.
Then I drove for dinner and decided to see if my phone would also pair to my car at a blue-tooth cell phone at the same time will listening to music and it did. My Sensation was paired to the HTC StereoClip and to the Cadillac at the same time. I made a phone call, Pandora paused, The call connected I spoke for a min or two then hung up and then Pandora resumed. All worked perfectly.
So the StereoClip works perfectly. I'm thrilled.
Thanks HTC.
P.S. the only little annoying thing is, for me to pair to it I have to actually press the pairing butting on the StereoClip and then tell my Sensation to connect to it. So its two additional steps I need to do EVERY TIME I get in my car. Kinda a hassle but I feel its better than seeing a wire and being hard wired to the car....

I'm glad you like it! I'm curious of what ROM you are using right now. And would you mind testing it on AOSP based ROM??
Please see attached screen shot to see the exact ROM.
I just rooted my phone (any phone) for the first time several weeks ago. I am extremely please with how my phone works. Someone asked if I could try a different ROM, honestly I'm a believer if it works don't fix it, so I really don't wish to mess with a new ROM for now. So sorry.
Jerry
Got my Stereo Clip in today
And I must say is very nice! I use to use the aux cable to connect the phone to the head unit but with this lil puppy its just bad a$$!
My setup:
I have a BlueAnt S4 (on sale btw on dailysteals.com for 20 bux in the USA I think, sorry!) and that plays media through its speaker. So all my navi voice prompts can be heard through the S4. And the profile the S4 supports is phone audio of course and media audio.
Now I introduce the HTC Car A100. Pairing was easy peasy. Then jumped in the truck to see how this works. I pulled up poweramp and started a track. Then turned on the bluetooth on the phone. Now both the S4 and A100 is connected to the phone. However when connected the music started playing though the S4.
I then went into the bluetooth profile of the BlueAnt S4 and unchecked the media profile. This will then in turn only be used for phone calls only, which works because the A100 cannot play the calls through the speakers. I restarted the track and viola, the music started to stream smooth as silk through my speakers. And it's nothing like the FM transmitters for ipods, this is clear as my aux cable!
I have to say I have not received a call yet with both running. I'll report back on how this functions in my setup. I hope it works lol...
I did not see this listed here so I though I would let you all know about a nice device that will let you stream music and voice to your car using your aux port. I set this up in my car and love this device. I now have hand free voice calls in my car thanks to this device.
Voice - when you get a call the audio will come through your car speakers. The mic picks up your voice very will.
Sounds - The music quality sound great using this a phone with apt x support. I now only use my phone for all my music in may car. You an also use any app in your car. Google Music, Pandora .. ext.. will work in your car.
Just wanted to share this with you all. Best 40 bucks I have very spent.

Thanks for your input
I didnt have a bluetooth capable radio until now so I actually dont know how it works. Does this mean I wont be able to answer calls and listen to music simply by pairing the two devices through bluetooth?
Cheers

I think you can still use this just for audio and your raido for your bt calls. I know i cant be set like what for cars that have bt built into them. You may want to try out it. The audio quality for music is great. A lot better then just using standard bt
This accessory thing is awesome. I replaced my FM transmitter after I got a new car with an AUX port. Sound quality is infinitely better and best yet, this thing is very discrete, you can hide it on the dash behind the steering wheel so that it's in conspicuous. It matches my dash so it blends in

One question: if the car radio has a Aux In port why dont you just connect the S4 headphone jack to it, instead of using that device?

Because this thing isn't just a transmitter, it also has a mic so you can take calls. It's a handsfree device as well.

If you have a bluetooth enabled car, there is no reason for you to get this. But not all cars with AUX also have bluetooth. My car doesn't.

My car has Bluetooth for calls. And aux in which I use for music via the headphones jack. But this device is good because it means I can get rid of the headphones cable and use Bluetooth instead. Much tidier. And good quality audio too.

You still need a cable. There is a cable that is directly connected to the receiver. It's pretty long too, I had to wind it up.

Also remember that his is apt x support. even if you car has bt built in, your audio quality will not sound a good as this. I use this set up everyday now.
