Hello,
today I bought a bluetooth module (Alpine KCE-400BT) for my in-car Headunit (Alpine CDE-9882Ri). The device, which apparently uses "parrot" technology is A2DP and AVRCP compatible, streaming music and controlling playback is possible from the Headunit and working fine. However, the phone seems not to transmit metadata to the bluetooth module as the headunit always displays "ARTIST" "ALBUM" or "SONG". I have noticed the same issue in a few of my friends cars, whereas their phones (Sony Erricson, iPhone) transmitted the metadata just fine.
Is there some registry key that enables transmission of metadata? WP7 apparently has support for AVRCP v1.3 (according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2449475/de) which has this feature, as does the Bluetooth module, but why is this disabled?

Hi,
I have been using my Diamond with a standard bluetooth handsfree earpiece for some time, generally works really well.
I've recently changed cars and now have a ford stereo with built in bluetooth handsfree / voice commands.
The stereo can access the phonebook from the phone, but I have a fair few contacts, most of which I wont need day to day while in the car. Is there any software which can limit which contacts get sent to the headunit, ie via category?
The only software i've found is the JETware Hands-free Extension, but it doesnt seem to work and post on there forum mentions the BT stack used by the Diamond / Touch pro isnt compatible.
Thanks in advance
Can I play music on my Zune through my Bluetooth?? Anybody got a clue thanks
Zune hardware devices don't have BlueTooth radios, so no. I assume you mean playing music stored on your Windows phone.
You'll need to be more specific than "my Bluetooth" as there are many, many Bluetooth devices, and most of them only support a few profiles. For example, Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth-enabled cars will usually support the Headset profile, which WP7 will use for calls and voice commands/text dictation, but will not use for music playback. If that's what you have, then no.
However, there are also Bluetooth headphones, speaker docks, and some cars that have support for a Bluetooth Audio profile (properly, A2DP), which Windows Phone 7 can use to stream music playback.
yes you can.
Devices..
Motorola Roadster 2
Sony DSX-S130BTX
VZW GS3
Roadster outputs proper volume levels for both Media and Phone. So phone outputs are actually good.
I currently blame Sony, and here is why I think its them..
S130 outputs proper volume level for Media. Inaudible for Phone.
Phone BT Call Volume is maxed. Extra Volume will not function. I notice that when S3 connects/disconnects from the S130 that is says Headphones Connected/Disconnected.. in incredibly small text that is hard to read. I think the S130 is reporting itself as a headset so the S3 uses wired headset/bt headset volume rules.
Is there any way to see what profiles are actually being received by the S3? I will be testing my phone on a different Sony unit that another S3 works with correctly in a bit, as well as that S3 on the S130.
S130 BT Profile support from Crutchfield's webpage.
Bluetooth Profiles: The DSX-S310BTX supports a wide variety of Bluetooth (version 2.1 + EDR) profiles, including HFP (Hands-Free Profile), OPP (Object Push Profile), PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile), A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), and AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile), so you can get the most from your Bluetooth-enabled devices.
HFP 1.5 (Hands-Free Profile): Hands-free communication with your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone in the vehicle (incoming/outgoing calls supported).
OPP (Object Push Profile): Phonebook transfer from your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone to the head unit.
PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile): Phonebook access from your Bluetooth enabled cell-phone to the head unit.
A2DP 1.2 (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile): Music streaming from your Bluetooth enabled phone or audio player to the head unit.
AVRCP 1.3 (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile): Basic music playback control of your Bluetooth enabled phone or audio player from the head unit.

HFP is taking over for the older HSP.
I'm using a 7" tablet fully integrated in the dash of my car. i have made my own launcher that suits my needs of an infotainment system in my car. I have navigation, music streaming, video streaming, integration with the cars CANBUS so buttons on the steering wheel works, etc. and it is all working perfect. However I lack bluetooth handsfree. I'd like to be able to answer and make calls (from my phone paired by BT) directly from the tablet. There are several chinese car infotainment systems that can do this. Parrot also does an android "radio" that does this. What do I need in order to support it on my android infotainment (basically just a 7" tablet), I recon I need a new Bluetooth stack?
The tablet is an Ainol Fire 7" running a CyanogenMod 11 rom.
As the title says, most of my music is stored on my phone rather than a USB stick. It would be nice to see the album cover art when driving around.
AFAIK, non of PX* units could do that.
Below is technical details, if you're interested.
Bluetooth dongle is not directly connected to "core" PX module itself (e.g Android doesn't "see" bluetooth device) like for example WiFi dongle.
Instead, Bluetooth chip is connected via it's UART to onboard MCU, and it's Audio-L and Audio-R anaglo outputs to audio switching\muxing chip. MCU on the other hand, controls both BT module and audio switching chip, when commanded by PX core module with 'switch audio output to A2DP'.
That's why your phone get's automaticaly connected via A2DP, but you'll get no sound from it, unless you launch A2DP app (after launching an app, it commands MCU to route BT module sound outputs to the AMP and into the speakers)
You'll have better luck with smth like Android Auto \ Apple Carplay - it'll not only show you the album art, but also allows you to select tracks, playlist and more - depending on your music app of choice. (not to mention navigation, notifications and other stuff)
