I am currently using the A2DPToggle which I find very handy, especially the signal strength bar. The Bluetooth mouse & SmartBar also captured my attention...
I just got my new bluetooth car stereo installed today and A2DPtoggle is a must have!
I was just wondering if you thought instead of one click to sync up we could get it to automatically based on if the phone portion of the bluetooth hooked up. Basically in my car stereo the phone sync automatically and i have to hit a2dptoggle to sync up the music portion, why couldn't we just go based on whether the phone portion synced up.
I believe it may be dependant upon the device you are trying to sync. For example:
A Stereo Bluetooth headset or vehicle Bluetooth reciever may automatically launch it's stereo profiles whereas a simple handsfree-equipped headset may have to be sync manually.
Since A2DP correlates directly with stereo profiles and not mono (or basic handsfree profiles) it may be safe to assume this much. With that said I have (2) Bluetooth headsets; a Jabra BT8010 (Stereo & Handsfree) headset & BlueAnt Micro X3 (Handsfree). Both sync automatically with my 6800 but the Jabra launches it's stereo profile while the BlueAnt launches its handsfree. I do not have a vehicle BT receiver to test with. I also use no2chem's 5047 rom which has the lastest BT stacks...
love that companies products. specially the keyboard.
I'm sure a bit of mortscript could sort this out pretty easily.

Unfortunately i am not the man to do it. Anyone else wanna step up to the plate?
Did anyone try this? I'm thinking of buying a new radio WITH bluetooth..
IF the bluetooth radio stuff works, then tomtom/music could go via my HTC which would be awesome... or is it possible to play MP3's via an USB outlet, or have some auxout to my htc?
A few months ago, I bought a head unit (Dual XHD6425) that has front panel aux out, usb, and bluetooth. I originally got it for its 3.5 mm auxillary out for my ipod, but I then bought the add-on bluetooth module and started using my cellphone and now my Fuze. Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP) is much more convenient as there are no wires to deal with. The TF3D music program supports AVRC so you can use the unit's fast fwd/rewind/stop buttons to control playback. Tomtom also routes its audio through the bluetooth interface as well. Of course, you also get hands-free calling, which is great as I usually forget to put on or turn on my bluetooth headset when I enter my car.
My head unit could also play music from USB sources (name hard drives, etc, but strangely not ipods). The unit was able to read from the Fuze since it can mount itself as a storage drive providing access to the microsd card. However, in this mode, I'd have to scroll through songs using the unit's interface, which was not very easy to navigate. Still, I can use the USB port to charge/power devices if I needed to do so.
^^^Ditto what he said^^^
My Xterra has a Pioneer single din headunit with built-in Bluetooth. A2DP streaming works great, but sometimes sounds a little tinny or washed-out. If you have added a subwoofer to your vehicle then get a headunit with an independent subwoofer level control. Some songs will be very bassy, while others will need some added punch...this can be adjusted very easily especially with a remote-mount bass level knob.
You can also sync your contacts over to the BT headunits and set speed dials as well as picture dials in some cases. My Pioneer replacement will be a double din 7" touchscreen dvd player with BT. Make sure it has plenty of audio controls/adjustments...digital time correction is a nice feature to help balance sound and set stage.
Hello, first of all please excuse my English, I am from Germany and I try to ask for some help here.
I bought this nice little toy named Topaz a few weeks ago. Yesterday I added a bluetooth interface from Blaupunkt for my car audio "Blaupunkt Milano MP34".
Its just an extension for the missing bt ability of the radio. For handsfree and A2DP profiles.
After connecting, it works great and with the external mike I can manage phone calls via car laoudspeakers.
A2DP also works, but here is the problem: there is no auto-connection of A2DP like the handfree-profile autoconnects the car unit and the Topaz after ignition.
Every time I have to connect it manually:
- after an ended phone call
- after starting the engine even when the interface is connected
This is very very annoying, inconvenient and tedious, after a phone call the manual connection while the car is running is even dangerous.
My question: Is there any software or a plugin to make an automatic connection for the A2DP profile when the ignition gets on??
Thank you very much in advance....
greetings from Cologne, Germany, yours Wolfgang
I have exactly the same issue, see my post here for improving the a2dp quality. I haven't managed to fix the re-connection issue but as a work around I have installed this app and have maped it to one of the hardware buttons. So now i just have to hold the button and the a2dp connection fires up!! Hope it works ok for you.
Would be interested to know if anyone else has had the a2dp re-connection issue and if they've fixed it. It only happens in the car as described by porzerwolle, my bluetooth headset re-connects every time!

thank you very much, for the tool and the information. It seems to be impossible to auto-reconnect the device with a BT radio or BT interface.
I'm using "A2DPSwitch" for a while and it works perfect. I set it on button1 "hold long" and I can switch between device and BT interface with a one-button-push now.
In matter of fact, my Plantronics BT headset 590E (it is very, very good!!) autoconnects Handsfree within seconds, and connects A2DP immediately when I push the play/pause button. In the Windows Media Player, the Blaupunkt interface supports AVCRP!! I can use NextTitle, TitleBefore, Play/pause, Fast Forward & Fast Rewind!!!
Sound quality of Plantronics is perfect, like wired unit, but quality of BT transmission between Blaupunkt and Diamond² is inacceaptable caused by extreme static noise - worse than an FM Transmitter.....
Wanted to use the S2P for this, but the sound quality via BT is poor and lousy....
In the moment, I use Pocket Player 3.6, not so comfortable as S2P, but it works..... there I have a ten-band EQ and the possibility to control Master Volume
I will try this registry settings, but when there is no improvement, I will decide to buy the BRODIT active car charger with a 3-in-1 adapter and manage the sound output via AUX-IN by the Blaupunkt radio input.
Let us know how you get on with the registry settings. I too have a Blaupunkt head unit, an OEM one mind, but noticed a huge difference after modifying the registry.
G
do you have a Blaupunkt "headset" or an interface for the car radio??
Never seen a headset manufactured by Blaupunkt.....
I will tell you if there is any improvement after changing the registry. Will do this on the next weekend bc I'm very busy in the moment.
I have this adaptor connected to my blaupunkt head unit in the car.
Just to inform that it works perfectly on my side with my Audi A4 B8 and the audi built in bluetooth system... lucky me
I haven't add any third party software on my D2
mmm, it doesn't connect to my BMW X3 built in bluetooth, my former device (Polaris - cruise) did it seamlessy
Any fix known to improve compatibility?
Thx
now I changed the registry settings for BT stacks as told in the thread. Before i installed HD tweak and changed the settings for BT audio, the value for SampleRate were preinstalled by HD Tweak for 48000! I erased the two values and the Plantronics seems to be louder and more brilliant....
will test the changes on Blaupunkt interface tomorrow because today my car is not available.....but I think the reason for the hiss may be the low BT input signal on BT in the radio.
will tell you if there is any improvement. Thanks a lot in advance!
Greetz from Cologne, Wolfgang
now there is a little improvement in audio bt quality, less hiss and noise, but still there is some. I can't understand but maybe the bt input signal is too low.
in the moment it is working so I'm a little satisfied with the changes.
Don't know exactly in the moment if to keep in in this state or to switch to aux-in input with hiding the necessary cables and wires inside the car's cockpit.....
maybe will check out several bt car radios at my dealer to know if there are some devices which are able to produce noise- and hissfree bt audio.
today I tried BT connection both for HF and A2DP on a colleague's car with a SONY radio MEX-BT2600.
The difference was amazing! I was impressed by a perfect, noisefree BT audio output, very very loud and a HF phone call in perfect quality.
I think I will decide for another car audio device. Meanwhile, I'm very disappointed by Blaupunkt BT quality.
Out of interest porzerwolle, did the A2DP streaming re-connect ok on the SONY?
no, it didn't, the same as in the Blaupunkt interface: no auto-reconnect.
The Diamond² reconnects A2DP after a softreset, both Blaupunkt and the Sony, but it is not the standard procedure I want to do every time I want a BT connection
Hi,
I have an Orbit 2 and some Gear4 BT headphones - these don't connect automatically as a wireless stereo device (other ones I've tried do) - no matter - I've knocked up a MortScript to automate the connection process.
I now have a new Bluetooth car kit, which supports audio streaming to my stereo (Blaupunkt - very nice). It also fails to autoconnect. So now I need to modify my script to deal with 2 devices.
Does anyone know where in the registry I can find out the device ID or name of the currently connected BT handsfree device? (the handsfree portion auto connects for both). Then I can use this info to force the stereo streaming connection for the desired device.
Thanks in advance,
James

Do you know of any application that manages your bluetooth connections?
Here's what I'm talking about, I have bluetooth headphones, several speakers and my car that all are connected to my phone and I'm having several small issues.
- As soon as I turn on bluetooth it tries to automatically tries to connect to these certain speakers, I don't want that and don't know how to stop it.
- If I'm in my car, my phone connected to my car for calls and I'm listening to music through the headphone jack but it will automatically connect to a set of bluetooth speakers in my home when get home and pull into the driveway. So music will play through those speakers instead of my headphone jack. I obviously don't want that either.
-Titanium Backup never restores my bluetooth connection either so if there is an application that can save those too that would be helpful.
