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.

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)
I just got an after market radio that supports bluetooth audio streaming & voice call. (Eclipse CD5030) After several tries, I seem to have it figured out so I wanna share my finding.
1 - Audio quality is ok. Acceptable, but not great. Bass output is fine, but treble is almost gone & distorted.
2 - When trying to transfer contact list from phone to the radio, bluetooth connection dropped instantly.
3 - Voice call quality appears to be normal. (i.e. similar to when you use handset / headset) According to callers, they can hear me just fine. Caller audio is fine on my end. I mounted the microphone near the visor, to the middle of the windshield.
4 - This radio can configure caller's audio output to only driver's side or both. But output is for front speakers only.
5 - This radio doesn't pipe phone's ringtone through. So you only get basic ringtone that comes with the radio.
6 - On my first try with navigation + music player, audio skip/drop out very often. On second+ tries with phone plugged in, no problem. -- I remember reading somewhere that max CPU frequency is automatically lowered when battery is low. This seems to make sense.
7 - I don't have a car dock for N1 yet. (waiting for Google official N1 car dock). Only voice prompt was adequate.
7 - You can skip forward/backward from the radio. But there's no pause button. The only way to pause is to switch to other audio source.
8 - If you prefer better audio quality, you can plug the phone into radio's USB port and enable USB storage mode. It will play music off the phone's memory card. -- Or just plug the 3.5mm cable to the phone, but you lose ability to control what is played.
9 - When using BT audio streaming, it doesn't display song's name. Just your phone's BT name.
That's hit. Hope it's useful for people looking to use/get BT car radio with N1.
After having the phone for a while today was the first day I did this with mine as well, also an Eclipse head unit.
My findings were pretty much the exact same. I did get a kick out of playing pandora out of the car stereo though while running navigation and it all working just perfectly.
Audio could be improved but it really is pretty cool.
for those not yet purchased.
Kenwood BT8044U
Audio quality excellent, does have pause, phonebook works, and works with car steering controls (with adapter)
Took awhile but the N1 works with MS Sync in my girlfriends fusion and in my Escape with an after market JVC with the bluetooth addon.

This sounds very promising.
Have you had a chance to try it with any of the GPS navigations apps? I would reallly like to know if you can play music and navigate at the same time with the GPS instructions coming through via BT as well ...
this thread is making me want to dump my 2004 ish alpine head unit for something newer with BT... argggh

Works just fine, I play music and navigate with andnav2 only issue is that both music and andnav are classed under "media volume" so I can't make the navigation louder in relation to the music.

This - I use co-pilot and Google's Navigation as well as stream music and it works quite well. I do wish there was a different volume toggle between music/nav but other than that it works quite well.
Thanks guys, sounds good.

my navigation volume is seperate of the media volume.
For those looking for a simpler solution, see my post on Kensington Liquidaux BT car adapter. U$25 delivered, very stylish design, works great. BUT, you'd need either an aux input or go with a tape adapter or an external FM transmitter.
Just been reading that the MW600 works on the Nexus One, but not sure about the Desire ?
Also, is it possible to get the song info displayed using either the built in media player, or a third party one ?
MW600 works on my desire fine for calls, i have not tried music to be displayed
Thanks. Does the music player work fine with it also (excluding display) ?
Please report if music is stuttering. I prefer to use bluetooth headsets for music, but if the A2DP stuttering issues are not fixed yet, I am staying away from them.
Can anyone confirm that the headset shows the songtitle on the Desire?
thanks
MW600 works fine as a music player and no stutters as such but i only listen for about 40mins each day. Still having a few issues with song information and odd controls using third party player.
Which third party player shows song information ?
@A|ex : "odd controls using third party player"
What do you mean by that ?
Could you do this functions : next/previous song, play/plause, volume with the mw600 ?

I have a (pre-release) MW-600. I can confirm the songtitles are NOT displayed with any of the pre-installed players. Play, pause, next, prev,ffwd frev do work perfectly and the audio quality is very acceptible once u switched the earbuts (not sure if they'll be better in the retail package).
Also what is NOT currently supported is the 'low latency'-mode (A2DP without error correction). Therefore you can notice that audio and video (or games) are not perfectly in sync (a small audio delay is noticeable).
I am sure Android 1.6 in the Xperia X10 will have these issues covered, since MW600 is shipped together with it in some retail packages - hope SE will be kind enough to share these bluetooth profiles in Froyo ... (or HTC will catch up, afterall HD2 supports all of the mentioned above).
I have seen the X10 used with the MW600, and phonebook lookup does not work on it either.

how do you stream music to MW600? I paired my MW600 to Desire, but when I play music there is no sound in the headset...
I can confirm that SonyEricsson MW-600 bluetooth headset works beautifully with HTC Desire. Tried to see how far away I could play music (through Spotify) and it didn't make any hickups at all about 25 meters away!
i'm also having problems with my MW600
the desire will pair to it, although it never asks for the pin ..but wont connect. so i can't transfer phone audio playback to the headset . useless
think maybe i have a faulty unit.
wont connect to my SE W610i, nor my ps3 ..errors out.
hmmmm
got mine from AccessoryJack ...

It should do it by default if its pair to the device, you can tell if its paid as the bluetooth icon on the phone has small triangles next to the bluetooth icon and hte mw600 has a picture of a phone on to say its paired.
if you play music via default music app or other it will stream/ play to the headphones.
it works with spotify, lastfm, mp3s etc fine.
If someone calls you hear the beep, and it auto holds the music.
Do you have the volume turned up on the device? I changed my headphones for better as the default ear pieces were so uncomfy and cheap.
I was thinking when u use a blue-tooth headset will you lose your FM radio functions?
Because the wire of normal earplugs functions as the antenna for the FM radio?
I'd really want to know this because i listen to the FM radio allot so this is a really important thing to me.

I managed to pair it and stream music (I think battery charge wasn't enough when I was trying to pair it for the first time), quality is pretty good for me...
But I found the following BUG: when I have incoming call while listening to music (I use standard Desire music player), I can't hear caller's voice. If I stop music and call back, than it works fine.
Can somebody test it?
i juz got the MW600 today from mobilecityonline, but i got a few problems...
1) how can i pair MW600 with windows 7?? it keep sayin driver not found...

This works fine for me using hte standard HTC music player, Do you pair the device to your phone as does it display as being paired on phone and device?
you should here the beeps in your headphones when someone is trying to call.
When they do call it sounds as if htey can hear you but you cannnot hear them, are you sure your using the device mic or the phone mic?
It sounds to me your device is not paired correctly or you have connected device to the phone.

What mode are you using to pair it with windows 7, this is not the win7 forum!
2) when i paired it with ps3, it doesnt stream any music or video sound at all which the ps3 is playing...
Again what mode are you using and have you read the manual? Again this is not a ps3 forum
3) how can i get song title display on the screen when i pair it with my X1?? i tried using WMP, CorePlayer, and the experience panal... but all doesnt work...
Install smartWatchM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362218), why post about the X1 in the HTC desire forum?
4) i do c a clock once in a while, but the time is wrong, wat is the excatly buttons to display the clock and set the clock??
You will find the answer to the time displaying etc on your other device but not in the HTC desire forum.
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.

Hello,
I am looking for a music remote control to use while driving, so I don't have to reach for my phone to change music track.
Right now I am learning toward buying one of these:

With these, you are supposed to plug your headphones into that dogtag. My question is, if you don't plug your headphones into the dogtag, but instead plug the headphones into the phone itself, will the music come through the phone itself? If it doesn't then it defeats the purpose//

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but it sounds like you're missing the point.
You pair that device with your phone, and audio will be sent from your phone to it via bluetooth. You then connect the "dogtag" to your car's head unit's aux-in. You can then control the audio via the buttons on the dogtag.
edit: oh I see what you mean. You want to use the dogtag solely for control and still connect the headunit directly to the phone? I haven't fiddled with BT audio in a long time, so I'm not sure if you can deselect the audio profile and just use control. If not, sound will be routed over bluetooth.
You could look into a headunit with bluetooth support as well.
i have that same headset, which is originally desigend by jabra as BT3030. didn't use it anymore but just checked what you are trying to find out.
1. when the headset is not connected to telephone media you are not able to use the dogtag to control the player.
2. if the dogtatg is connected to telephone media your are able to control the player but the headphone out of the phone is muted.
so it does not work the way u want it to. sry mate
But I'm not exactly sure why you'd want to plug the phone into the car and use the remote by itself.
Plug the remote into the car and it becomes more or less a fixed item.
You'll be able to do everything just the same, except that there's a wire or two connecting to the remote.
You'll be able to leave the phone in your pocket. Depending on the design of that BT player, if it switches on and resumes playback when there is USB power, it'd be pretty much a completely automated solution. Turn the car on, USB power is supplied, it pairs with your phone in your pocket, and playback resumes.
